"More than 3 times, because theoretically, no single mechanical hard disk can reach a speed of more than 50mb/s." Su Yuanshan corrected Luo Ming's mistake.

Currently, the interfaces of consumer-grade mechanical hard disks generally use the ide interface, the ata66/100 standard, although in theory, it has a maximum bandwidth of 133mb/s. But in fact, due to the hardware limitations of the mechanical hard disk itself, it is far from the upper limit.

Solid-state drives can meet the upper limit, but currently all SSDs of Intel and SanDisk use SSSI interfaces, using server and industrial application scenarios, and have not even looked at the consumer market.

Of course, even if Yuanxin wants to like it, there is no way... After all, the cost is there, and it is difficult for the consumer market to accept a hard drive worth tens of thousands of yuan.

The launch of sata interface and solid-state drive can only be said to be a big game of Yuanxin, serving the next customized host. Then, relying on technology to reduce costs, and finally popularize solid-state drives.

"I counted the disk array." Luo Ming smiled: "Since you want to make a comparison, you have to fully arm the enemy."

“…”

Su Yuanshan put down his hard drive and his eyes fell on the stack of information again: "You won't give Ieee to just take such a stack, right?"

"It's almost the same, but I think it doesn't matter whether we have technology in hand or not. We have reached a consensus with Fujitsu and Toshiba. They expressed their willingness to accept the sata standard, and then Seagate Western Digital Maito IBM also sent a technical invitation - as long as these major hard drive manufacturers are willing to accept it, we will form a sata technical committee and work together directly, and there is no need for the IEEE stamp at all."

"As for the motherboard factory, we need to think carefully about how to promote it. Now, Mr. Meijie and Mr. Chen are becoming more and more stingy, no longer just like before, they will get on the horse..."

When Luo Ming heard that Mei Jie became stingy, Su Yuanshan smiled.

Indeed, the gradual rise of the PC market means that the market is gradually maturing. Although Mei Jie is firmly in the top spot, the group of younger brothers on the island are still coming in full force and fighting the price war in a superb way.

In this case, any cost saving is extremely precious, so Meijie naturally dare not support it just like before.

And... this also means that board and card manufacturers are moving towards their due position in the industrial chain - their profit range and status cannot be compared with the top chip designs and wafer fabs.

As for the whole machine manufacturer with the lowest industrial chain... its status will naturally be even lower.

"Don't worry, motherboard manufacturers are now very competitive. In addition to reducing the price of stacking materials, it is difficult to develop a leading technology in the inherent fields of boards and cards to improve their competitiveness. Once a technology can bring a qualitative leap to the overall machine experience, no matter how high the cost is, board manufacturers who pursue boards and cards will accept it."

"Don't say that our goal is a dedicated host." Su Yuanshan said and picked up the solid-state drive again: "But compared to promoting the interface, I am more concerned about its cost now... How much does this thing cost at present?"

"If we calculate based on the current production capacity, the cost of the main control chip alone is ridiculously expensive, and it will cost at least $100,000 per piece."

Su Yuanshan was so upset: "Get out... quote a price of 50,000 units."

"That's cheap." Luo Ming simply calculated: "Excluding the necessary profit, it's about $700."

"This is almost the same... Yuanxin first purchases 10,000 laptops. Then, for the others, you can come up with the server and workstation plan as soon as possible."

"The next two years will be two years of the Internet explosion. There will be many io-intensive services used by that time. In this regard, solid-state drives are much higher than mechanical hard drives... In those computer rooms, no matter how expensive they are, they will be able to get."

As Su Yuanshan finished the last screw, he stared at Luo Ming, endured it for a few times before saying, "In March next year, I will see the most awesome laptop at present, right?"

These guys dragged themselves for half a year... and they lost the notebook they originally wanted to launch on National Day.

This time, he had to let these people make a military order.

Luo Ming shook his fingers: "Mr. Shan, this depends on Mei Jie..."

"Don't fool me, I know Meijie's card design ability." Su Yuanshan stared at Luo Ming's eyes: "At most, they can proof a motherboard in one month, unless there are still problems with your sata agreement."

Speaking of the agreement, Luo Ming immediately became serious: "No, Mr. Shan, the sata agreement is perfect, no problem!"

"Then why do you have to wait so long?"

Luo Ming said, then pulled open the briefcase and handed out a stack of documents to Su Yuanshan.

"At present, we have two solutions for caching. One is the one you use dram as cache. It is fast and has the highest cost."

"The second solution is to use slc architecture particles to act as caches. Although they are not as fast as Dram, because slc architecture particles themselves are faster than mlc, they are acceptable."

"But...we have another idea now."

"If we can use technical solutions to draw a part of the space of mlc and run it in the SLC mode, then the speed will not be much slower than using SLC particles, but the cost will be greatly reduced."

Su Yuanshan put down his hand to flip through the information, and smiled slightly after a moment of silence.

slc simulated caching technology...

"Is that okay in May?"

Luo Ming gritted his teeth suddenly: "Okay!"

...

After seeing off Luo Ming and others, Su Yuanshan sat on the sofa and rested for a while.

Of course, he was happy that Yuanxin was able to achieve a breakthrough in solid-state drives. But the lengthening of the product line also means that the competition will become increasingly fierce.

Now Yuanxin is no longer as simple as benchmarking against Intel, but rather a terrifying existence like Intelibm Motorola Samsung.

It involves chip design and manufacturing, whole machines, servers, mobile communications, analog chips, consumer electronic products...

The reason why Yuanxin is able to win in the early stage is to grasp the technical direction accurately and quickly.

Now, he had clearly felt that Yuanxin was slowing down a little.

After all, with the continuous implementation of Moore's Law, chip design is becoming more and more difficult, and various sunk costs are becoming higher and higher.

In this case, what you are trying to do is precipitate and accumulate.

Although Yuanxin has gathered tens of thousands of excellent engineers, they are still too young.

After sighing silently, Su Yuanshan stood up and walked towards the desk.

The cell phone placed on the desk rang out in time.

Su Yuanshan looked at the caller ID and was stunned at first, then smiled.

"Sister Qu Hui, why did you suddenly call?"

On the phone, Qu Hui's voice was still very cheerful: "Are you in the office?"

"exist."

"Okay, I'll be there in an hour - give you a surprise!"

"Wait! I'm just in need of a happy celebration now, I can't wait for an hour...What the hell is it?"

"...It's boring to say it. I'm with Lao Zheng, you guess it yourself!"

After saying that, Qu Hui hung up the phone as usual.

With Zheng Zhenchuan?

It seems that the double workpiece table has been completed?

Su Yuanshan put down his cell phone and his smile began to bloom.
Chapter completed!
