Chapter 738: Taking Over Intel

After New Year's Day, the atmosphere in the Luo family can only be described as lively.

The children at home were on vacation, and Sarah returned to live in the Luo family mansion.

As for Diana, she has returned to England to handle the final procedures, and will go to France after these are completed.

In addition to learning from YDD, I also run my own wool brand in collaboration with Sarah.

Arnault did not make things difficult for them for Sarah's sake. Not only did he sell the Columbus cashmere brand to them, but he also did not ask for an exorbitant price.

In return, Diana made a sacrifice before leaving, taking advantage of the time when Sarah had to go to the island country for work.

This time, they were much more relaxed, and Luo Nianzhong also played the role of Dong Zhuo for once, openly and honestly.

Moreover, Luo Nianzhong felt that the little prince was not good enough. With his physique that made him urinate three feet high, how could he be willing to give him up?

However, Luo Nianzhong didn't care about the love-hate relationship between the two. He just had plenty of time to experience it.

I started dealing with some work early in the morning, and when I came out of the study it was already past five in the afternoon.

In the living room, the second and third children were curled up on the sofa watching TV.

The younger children were playing on the carpet, while the older ones were probably in their rooms doing homework or taking extra classes.

As for the adults, the eldest, Chris, and the new sixth, Sarah, are both career-oriented and basically go to the company every day unless otherwise expected.

As for the two generals Heng and Ha, they are two monkeys who can't sit still at all.

Speaking of monkeys, the TV was playing the classic Journey to the West from the mainland.

I have to say that when it comes to the four great classics, even those produced by ATV are not as good as those produced in mainland China.

Hong Kong Island is still too small, and many directors’ thinking is limited.

For example, Hong Kong directors are not as brave as mainland directors in dreaming up some big scenes.

So whether it was Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the West, ATV chose to introduce and list them in Hong Kong Island. The response was very good and it has been rebroadcast several times.

There is also the Water Margin, which ATV and CCTV are currently collaborating on and ATV will also premiere it.

"The land of women?"

"Yes, Sun Wukong is really powerful."

Now Luo Laosan Matsuzaka Keiko is very obsessed with Chinese culture. The more she learns about it, the more she likes it. Now she even likes some ancient books.

"And this Tang Monk is so annoying."

Is Tang Seng annoying? Probably. Watching the entire Journey to the West, the only thing that was done was the appearance of Sun Wukong, and then there were all kinds of things.

Hungry, thirsty, dizzy, dry mouth, and general fatigue.

Apart from these, he also had various temper tantrums, and half of the 81 difficulties were caused by himself.

From a normal person's perspective, Sun Wukong is indeed more likable, and Tang Seng is more like an accessory that highlights Sun Wukong.

But we cannot just look at one side of things. As a manager, Tang Seng is the role model we need to learn from.

I have done all this, and my subordinates are still loyal to me. Isn't this an art of management?
Tightening curse? There are so many tightening curses in the world, such as money and status, which is why many leaders like to make empty promises.

Matsuzaka Keiko did not agree with Luo Nianzhong's twisted ideas.

"Husband, what about you? Who do you like more in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong or Tang Monk?"

"I don't like anyone."

I didn’t know it before, but now I understand. Who the hell cares about monkeys and sissies?

There are so many beautiful things in Journey to the West waiting for us to discover with our beautiful eyes, so what the hell is the point of looking at a monkey?

He had accompanied Keiko Matsuzaka and Zhao Yazhi to watch less than one level when a call from Zhang Rujing interrupted his discovery of beauty.

"Wall Street has gotten things done? Great, let's speed up the integration."

Luo Nianzhong was in a good mood after getting Intel.

There are two instruction architectures in Far East. One is the reduced instruction set, which is the mainstream of CPU in electronic products and the world-famous YRM architecture. The other is the PCV architecture, which is a chip architecture that Luo Nianzhong has never heard of and is also considered to be a reduced instruction set.

This architecture was developed because of the Linux system. It was developed by the Far East system for controllers and is used in the industrial field.

However, as Far East deepened its development on large servers, it discovered a drawback, that is, neither YRM nor PCV had as good development prospects as Intel's X86 architecture.

Although there is no problem now, what about the future? Cloud computing is something that Far East must grasp, so developing Intel is very valuable.

Whether it is a complex instruction set or a reduced instruction set, their purpose is to reflect the basic functions of the computer.

The reduced instruction set uses a fixed-length instruction format, so the reduced instruction set is easier to implement in hardware.

The focus of the reduced instruction set is simplicity, so the number of instructions is reduced, which can be seen as a faster response.

But the reduced instruction set also has disadvantages, that is, in terms of program support.

The complex instruction set supports high-level programming languages, but the reduced instruction set does not. Another compiler is required to support high-level programming languages.

There is also the addressing method. Complex instruction sets have diverse addressing methods, so they are more efficient when processing some special tasks.

Because the reduced instruction set has fewer addressing methods, it requires a larger storage space when processing special tasks.

What are the special tasks? Those huge calculations.

For example, supercomputers, future cloud computing, the servers of a large enterprise, and so on.

In other words, as the times change, data becomes larger and larger, functions become more and more numerous, servers have to process more and more instructions, and the advantages of complex instruction sets become more and more obvious.

Of course, it doesn’t matter for smartphones, the reduced instruction set is completely sufficient.

But the chip market is not limited to the mobile phone field. With the advent of the intelligent era, all companies can be said to be Internet companies. For these huge data processing, the X86 architecture with obviously complex instruction sets has more development potential.

Of course, later on there were reduced instruction set architectures such as MIPS and RISC-V, which were hyped up and had very bright prospects.

But after all, it does not have the complex instruction set that can shake the X86, X64, and IA64 architectures. Luo Nianzhong has no idea how it will develop in the future.

Since you don’t know, the best way is to hold it all in your hands.

"Are we still going to follow the arrangement we discussed before?"

"That's right. Intel's X86 architecture focuses on servers and large computers. Linux and PVC architectures are gradually being replaced. Linux plus X86 are used to develop the industrial control field. YRM is still in the current consumer electronics field.

However, we don’t have to abandon the PVC architecture, and we don’t have to invest too much in research and development.”

After thinking about it, Luo Nianzhong decided that he couldn't simply dismiss the PVC architecture. What if this architecture, which he had never heard of, had some merits?

“Of course, this is not absolute.

For example, as industrial computers become simpler and more sophisticated, YRM can be considered. As for PCs, as computers have more and more functions, it is possible to use complex instruction set architectures.

"Industrial computers are still okay, but what will those manufacturers do if a CPU based on the X86 architecture is launched on PCs?"

This is not a matter of changing the CPU, the biggest problem lies in the software.

Because of the current YRM and the strength of Microsoft, any software development on the computer is based on the reduced instruction set, and it cannot be used with Intel's CPU at all.

Don’t think that hardware can be replaced at will. You can run the software even if the hardware is incompatible, but the system will freeze and blue screen will occur frequently.

This is also the reason why Intel quickly lost market share. It was better before.

However, in recent years, as Far Eastern chips have basically dominated the PC market, new Internet software companies simply do not develop software compatible with Intel chips because it is not profitable.

This is a vicious cycle. The less compatible a software is, the fewer people will buy it. And the fewer people buy it, the fewer software companies will develop it.

Therefore, the reduced instruction set failed to enter the PC market in the last life, and Intel’s attempts to enter the mobile phone CPU business also failed several times.

It’s not that consumers don’t want to pay, but that a lot of the software they buy cannot be used as a camera. There are not so many Cecilia Cheungs out there.

"Don't worry about them. The CPU market is in our hands. As long as we send the message that we are going to transform, no one will dare to disobey us, even if it means losing money, they will stick with us until the end."

This is the current status of the Far East Group. Even if the future market is uncertain, no one dares to lag behind the Far East, otherwise what awaits them may very well be destruction.
