Coquettish Rebirth

() Jia Hongjian's plan has been revised. Originally, he just wanted to acquire the PU department. To Jia Hongjian, he was like a stunning beauty, especially since Xiaomi Technology has just started for a few years, and it is still When designing your own "Chinese core", it is better to have a strong teacher as a guide than to follow the industry giants and fail to catch up!

Such an absolutely advanced cpu was successfully developed by dec in 1994. It can be considered that in addition to the clock frequency, that is, the speed of some hertz, it is named alpha, which is alpha.The first letter of the Greek alphabet represents the beginning.It is equivalent to a in English.So it can be considered that dec wants to create a new era through this 64-bit cpu! ..

Such a CPU for the 21st century, the product name of the first generation is alpha21064, which obviously represents the meaning of 21st century and 64-bit, and this processor shocked the world as soon as it was born, and even its performance is at the Guinness World Record level of!Intel's cpu is in front of him, that is a vulnerable little brother!

However, the leading technology does not mean that the market must be leading.At this time, the dec company itself encountered a financial crisis, and its management was not good, all in all.Just no money!A penny beats a hero.The world's top-level cpu, because of its advanced architecture and top-notch performance, must cost far more than Intel's Pentium series, and its sales are definitely not good, just like the i2012 series processors in 7.It is enough for ordinary people to use i3 and i5. The i7 is more than 1000 yuan per cpu2000.Ordinary people buy it for daily use, which is not much different from i5. Isn't it a waste of money to buy this thing?

So, although the sex can be good.But the price is too high to sell it, and the head office of Dec company doesn't have so much time to wait for this series to slowly make money, that is to say, there is no time to slowly raise the hen that lays golden eggs!So what happened next? Dec sold some of its cpu factories and some scattered small technologies to Intel in packages. Who made Intel poor in technology but rich?

And when some chip factories and some technologies were packaged and sold to Intel, the loser of Dec also packaged some of the most important talents. A thorn in the flesh, not some rare talent.Ever since, among the talents who were packaged and sold by the way, there was Dirk Meyer, the architect designer of the alpha series, or, in a more Chinese way of translation, Medek.

This Medek is quite dissatisfied with being packaged and sold. This rush is a bit like being a top star of Manchester United, but being sold to a mid-level team in the league!No, it's not just this feeling, but it's sold to a deadly enemy in the middle!How cool is this Medek?From his point of view, the people at Intel are all stupid, old-fashioned, and businessmen!They only know how to sell cheap goods, but none of them know how to develop something good!

So in 95, within a few months of joining Intel, Medek directly jumped to Intel's deadly rival amd!And he will also be the biggest contributor to letting amd suppress Intel for several years from next year!In history, amd is not the same as it was in 2012, and the whole family was seconded by Intel!At this stage from Pentium 21 to Pentium 64, AMD does not say that it is molesting Intel every day, but there are times when it is evenly matched or even slightly better!Even at the beginning of the [-]st century, after the Athlon [-]-bit processor came out, it was really beating the Pentium four times, hitting a Pentium IV, it was the same as beating a son!Intel dare not fight back!However, Intel also has black technology. After the release of the Core series, AMD was suppressed and beaten by Intel, just like beating a son.Of course, that's another story.

However, from the fact that AMD has suddenly become stronger in the past few years, it can also be seen how awesome the small group of talents from the Dec company is!Even this Medek has become the president and coo of AMD since 01, and even the president and CEO in 08!

When Medek moved to amd, he not only left by himself, but also took a team of people who packaged it to Intel.After they ran to amd, they successfully persuaded amd, and then asked amd to pay for some patented technologies of dec company, and then developed the k7 processor, and amd was evenly divided with intel in an instant. !You must know that in the past, the desktop cpu market was still in the Warring States Period.Among the CPUs that are publicly available, Intel is the only one, but there are four or five companies following behind.For example, amd, its k6 processor, compared with Intel's Pentium [-], is simply a mess of bad performance, that is, it is cheaper.Basically, it can be said that, except for dec, Intel's products are better than others except that they are not cost-effective!

And with Medek and other teams, amd's k7 processor shocked the industry because it allowed a second-rate processor manufacturer to develop a first-class product, and even amd's processor was ahead of Intel's first breakthrough. The threshold of 1g frequency!This matter was one of the top ten IT news in history!Intel fans may have existed for a long time, but basically starting with the k7 processor, amd fans have really become widespread in the world!And all of this is the credit of Medek, and it can even be said that such a trace of something leaked from the slit of dec's fingers, so let the father of the series version, Dave Cutler, who used to be a Unix developer at HP, even Known as the father of OS in the United States, that is, the series of computer development work... that is, in 88, because Dec canceled Cutler's project, and even wanted to freeze Cutler, Microsoft just dug up Cutler past.

But even though Bill Gates digs Cutler himself, in front of Cutler, Bill Gates is as obedient as his own son. happy.At that time, Cutler didn't react much at the time, and he gave Bill some face, but when he returned to the office, Cutler scolded Bill Gates and told Bill Gates not to ask reporters to come over to take pictures of him in the future!He doesn't want to participate in this boring media event!If Bill Gates refuses to agree, he, Cutler, will pack up and leave!As a result, Bill Gates was as sincere as the son who was taught by his father, carefully apologizing, and finally carefully promised not to let the media disturb Cutler again, and finally ran out of Cutler's office!

Even when Cutler was confronted by his classmate Bill Gates, although Bill Gates really brought a lot of small money, the master is a master, and it is impossible to easily bow to the small money.At that time, the master said, I like working with my hardware team very much, if you want to poach me, you can, then take me and my team with you, otherwise there is no need to talk.Where did Microsoft develop what hardware at that time?They are software companies, okay?But Bill Gates is optimistic about the great god Cutler, thinking about it, isn't it just a matter of money?We Microsoft has plenty of money!Although we don't make hardware, but in order to get the master Cutler, let's take his team over and support them for free, can't we?Just let them chat with God Cutler and amuse him, okay?

And after Cutler took his hardware team to Microsoft, there was no news for 10 years.But today, ten years later, Microsoft has an idea of ​​moving towards hardware and occupying the center of the living room.Even in the future, Microsoft will make xbox game consoles, as well as various mice, keyboards and other things. No one knows whether the great master Cutler is behind these things, because Bill Gates promised "Dad "Cutler, never let the media bother him!

But what we can know is that after Cutler came to Microsoft, Microsoft's next nt version and 95, 98, 2000, xp and other systems unified the desktop computer system along the way, leaving a little bit of Apple's own cao The operating system entertains itself. In 2008, President Bush Jr. personally awarded the National Medal of Science and Technology and Innovation of the United States. Among the winners was Cutler, who had disappeared from the media for decades...

Dec, can be said to be a company that is stronger than Apple in history, and a company that is more individual than Apple.And dec used its own cpu decades ago!And now, such a company is about to be sold.Although Jia Hongjian may not be able to spend more than 90 billion to nearly 100 billion US dollars to acquire the company as a whole, and even the US Congress may not allow the Chinese to acquire dec!However, the acquisition of a department, the acquisition of several teams, this head office?What Huaxia Hi-Tech now has is the market, what it lacks is technology, and what it lacks is talent!
