Chapter 181 ARM Company! (So ​​miserable, please subscribe)

Chips are one of the core industries in the future. All electronic products are inseparable from chips. Its importance is self-evident!

At 9 o'clock the next morning, Li Zetian came to Intel.

He made a phone call yesterday and asked for a meeting of the company's top management.

The participants had already arrived, Li Zetian came to the meeting room, and everyone stood up.

Li Zetian nodded to them, then walked to the first seat and sat down.

"This meeting is very important, it is related to the future of Intel Corporation!" He said in a deep voice, "Everyone must know the RISC reduced instruction set, right?"

Wei Xiuping, a top engineer of Intel Corporation, nodded and said: "Yes, we have done research on it. The design idea of ​​RISC simplifies the number of instructions and addressing methods, making it easier to implement, and the instructions are executed in parallel. The degree is better, the efficiency of the compiler is higher, and the average execution cycle of instructions is reduced, thereby increasing the working frequency of the computer!"

Andy Grove, CEO of Intel Corporation, said: "However, RISC technology has just emerged. Since the birth of computers, people have been using the CISC instruction set method. CISC computers have a richer instruction system, and there are special instructions to complete specific tasks. Therefore, the efficiency of processing special tasks is high. RISC programs generally require a large memory space, and the program is complex and difficult to design when implementing special functions; while CISC assembly language programming is relatively simple, and programming for scientific calculations and complex operations is relatively easy , Higher efficiency!"

Li Zetian nodded and concluded: "The difference between CISC and RISC lies in the design concepts and methods of different CPUs. It can be said that each has its own advantages! RISC can make great achievements in the field of high-performance computers, while CISC can make great achievements in the field of ordinary personal computers. In addition, the CPU based on the RISC architecture contains fewer unit circuits, so the area is small and the power consumption is low. Therefore, RISC has great development potential in low-power electronic products!"

Andy Grove asked: "Mr. Li, you mean, you plan to let Intel develop RISC processors?"

"Yes," Li Zetian nodded, and said, "Intel has set up a wholly-owned branch to develop RISC RISC processors! As for the name of the new company, it will be called ARM!!!"

"ARM?" Everyone wondered what the name meant.

Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Choose an inexplicable name at random to confuse our competitors!" In fact, the full name of ARM was originally Acorn RISC Machine, and Acorn is a British computer company.The reason why Li Zetian chose the name of the branch as ARM is just to place his expectations on the current ARM company, and to always remind himself of the development direction of ARM company!
When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized.

Li Zetian turned his head to look at Wei Xiuping at this time, and said, "RISC has great potential for development, Wei Xiuping, ARM is in charge of you, as CEO, what do you think?"

Wei Xiuping nodded and said, "No problem, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will manage this company well!" Wei Xiuping was very excited when he thought that he could be in charge of a subsidiary alone at a young age.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Purchase as many RISC talents as possible, and vigorously develop RISC processors. Intel must grasp both hands, and both hands must be strong!"

"Yes!!!"

Li Zetian's decision not only changed the fate of Intel, but also changed the fate of Acorn in the UK. In the future, ARM, the overlord of chips in the mobile computer market, belongs to Intel!
It didn't take long for the ARM company to be established. The new company has more than 350 members, basically all engineers. Intel fully supports the development of ARM and allocates 2 million US dollars to develop processors based on RISC architecture. The name of the first processor is ARM1, which is mainly used for graphics workstations and servers.

At this moment, the industry is still wasting time discussing which is better, RISC or CISC.

Li Zetian couldn't help but secretly proud, after you guys have finished discussing, the products of ARM company have been developed, hehe...

This is the advantage of people who travel through time, always one step ahead, knowing what will become popular, and grasping the general trend!

Li Zetian also began to learn how to develop chips at this time. He was inclined to RISC development and felt that RISC had more development prospects than CISC.

In fact, Li Zetian has been studying artificial intelligence, and the key to artificial intelligence is the chip, which is equivalent to the brain of artificial intelligence!Li Zetian now spends most of his energy on high-tech development. When he has free time, he takes care of the entertainment industry, and uses his past life memories to point out the development direction for the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry is very profitable, and high technology requires a lot of research and development funds. Li Zetian doesn't want the company to raise money, so he can only pay for it himself.Records, movies, games, etc. can bring him huge income.

Just when Li Zetian was concentrating on researching chips, Michael Jackson was already popular in the United States.His MV has already been played on the MTV television network, super popular, the perfect combination of dance and song, deeply sought after by Americans, established Michael Jackson's status as the king of heaven! MTV rebroadcasts Michael Jackson's MV more than [-] times a day, and the ratings soar. The coverage of the MTV television network is like a crazy siege, and it is quickly spread across the United States. Those "cable operators" want to strengthen their competition Force, have agreed to open the MTV channel.

At the entrance of the Netflix rental and sales store, countless customers poured in, shouting "Michael Jackson" with extremely fanatical expressions!With the increase of the coverage of MTV television network, Michael Jackson's MV has been seen by more people, and his amazing dance has been imitated by people, especially young people all over the United States are learning his dance. Inside, some students can be seen practicing sliding (space walk) from time to time, and countless students are screaming for it!
As for how popular Michael Jackson was?This answer is accurately reflected in record and music video sales!

"Thriller" sells for $30 an album, which is very expensive.However, even so, one month later, the "Thriller" album sold 1280 million copies, the music video sold 274 million copies, and the revenue of Violet Records reached 4 million US dollars, which caused an uproar in the industry!

The record production factories of the Violet Records Company were unable to produce them, so they had to ask other record factories to produce them.

Beginning in April, Michael Jackson's album began to land overseas, and then immediately swept the major charts, becoming the undisputed number one! With the help of Michael Jackson as a shareholder, the MTV television network has entered Europe, Asia, South America and other regions as it wished, and has gradually become a music television network with great international influence.

Michael Jackson dominated the music world like no other!
Although the production of Yu Jingqiu's album was completed in early April, it was not released immediately. Instead, she waited for Michael Jackson's popularity to subside before releasing it, so as to avoid the confrontation between artists in her company and cause huge losses.

After the completion of the album, Yu Jingqiu rested for a week, and continued to shoot the MV. The MV of each song required a huge investment, even more than Jackson's MV.

With the songs Li Zetian wrote for her and these MVs, plus Yu Jingqiu's looks and figure, her fame is likely to catch up with Michael Jackson and become everyone's goddess!Sometimes Li Zetian couldn't help thinking that every night he hugged the goddess in everyone's mind to sleep, or had sex, the satisfaction in his heart was almost indescribable!
Today, due to the great success of Michael Jackson's MV, it will undoubtedly promote the MV to a new height.Only then did the record company realize that the MV could still be shot in this way. The more popular the MV, the more famous the singer, and the more records sold!
For a while, many record companies began to reshoot the MV, and contacted MTV Music Television Network, hoping to play it on it.

MTV music television network looming became the giant of the music television industry!
At this time, Li Zetian felt that it was possible to produce "The Voice of America", so he wrote a detailed plan and handed it over to MTV's program production department, and asked them to do it themselves. Four well-known, capable and eloquent singer mentors.

"The Voice of America" ​​can not only export high-quality fresh blood to Violet Records, but also increase MTV's market share, killing two birds with one stone!
Now that the entertainment business has just started, Li Zetian has to worry more about it. If it gets on the right track and becomes a stable cash cow, then he can devote all his energy to the development of high technology.

With his research on chips, he has an urge to integrate the upstream and downstream industry chains of chips.

Gordon Moore proposed Moore's Law, but in Li Zetian's view, Moore's Law can be broken with money.The key to the chip manufacturing process and technology lies in the production equipment. If semiconductor equipment manufacturers can develop more advanced machines in advance, there is no doubt that Moore's Law will be broken!

Since the semiconductor industry is just booming and chip equipment manufacturers have just started, this is a godsend opportunity for Li Zetian to buy them. If you miss this opportunity, it will be impossible in the future. Even if you have money and want to buy them, but The local government will never agree!

The problem Li Zetian encounters now is that these semiconductor equipment companies are still quite expensive, and they have to invest a huge amount of money in research and development to buy them. Taiwan, how can you play without money?
