Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

Lao Huang knows that the mine tide will eventually pass, and Nvidia will eventually return to the player community, but the mine bosses have given too much...

It's not that he didn't have the idea of ​​knowing his way back, but then he thought that AMD and Intel were still half a step behind Nvidia, and when the 40 series came out, gamers would definitely donate generously in order to avoid buying mining cards, so they chose to ignore it. Conscience continues to make another billion points of bad money.

It was all planned, and when the dollars returned, AMD caught up and released the 40 series by the end of the year.

But the Titan series processors developed by Kyushu Technology really made all technicians, including him, feel the threat that could not be solved in a short time.

The running score of Titan P is only a little better than that of RTX3070, but it can stabilize the unoptimized "Elden Ring" to 60 frames. This kind of hardware optimization ability for the game engine really makes everyone feel like an enemy .

It also caused panic within the company.

Lao Huang glanced at the report at hand. If there was no such accident as the Titan processor, the news that Nvidia had a higher market value than AMD and Intel would definitely fill the conference room with laughter.

But unfortunately...

Looking at the downcast eyes of their boss, several executives even felt panicked.

They don't understand technology, but they understand what a powerful opponent a processor that only sells for 2,000 euros can kill all the masterpieces of games on the market.

Moreover, I heard that the reason why Suiren has set such a high price is because it is the first time to produce processors, and the investment cost is too much. When the follow-up product design and production line are stabilized, the price will definitely drop crazily in line with the laws of industrial production.

Amidst all the suspicions, Huang Renxun suddenly said: "Actually, on March 2nd, Daxia time, we had already obtained the Titan C/P processor in Daxia's laboratory, and stepped up the disassembly test. Afterwards, our laboratory also got the Titan C/P processor that was just released in the North American store.

After comparison, the processors of the Daxia version and the European version are both a design template, that is, the graphics card chip and the CPU chip are placed on a motherboard, and the graphics processor that should be included in the ordinary CPU is deleted, so as to reduce the cost. power consumption and cost.

Its manufacturing process is the 5nm process of Xiaxin Technology, which is roughly the same as the 5nm process we studied when we cooperated with TSMC. It is precisely because of such a cutting-edge process chip that the performance of this processor is outstanding. All of us were surprised. After all, from a certain point of view, the Titan C processor is equipped with the highest specification process chip.

Of course, the good news is that we have reached a cooperation with TSMC. The 40 series graphics cards will no longer use Korean star technology. Delivered in a few months. "

This remark made many executives breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, some executives asked: "Why can't we urge TSMC to step up production now? Wait one more day, and we will lose a batch of users."

Lao Huang glanced at the technical executive poached from AMD, and he shook his head. "Now TSMC's 5nm process share has been grabbed by Qualcomm, Pingguo and Dimensity, and we can only wait two months."

Although it is hard to accept, it is the reality.

Everyone regards Hansung Semiconductor as a spare tire. Everyone uses Hansung Semiconductor for a certain period of time, but their eyes are always on TSMC. As long as a cooperation with TSMC is reached, all the shares that can be eaten will be eaten immediately.

After all, the more you eat, the less your competitors will eat.

"However, after testing, the performance of the 40 series will be more than 30% higher than that of the RTX 30 series produced using Hanxing's 8nm process technology. This will make our flagship Kawang the top of the list again. In addition to winning corporate customers, it will also Those game users who can regain their losses.

We have mature R\u0026D and marketing channels, and have a strong reputation. The stock price fell during this period, which is also a good time for us to buy back stocks. "

Lao Huang's smile of knowing everything under control returned, and the atmosphere in the conference room became lively in an instant.

Seeing everyone smiling, Huang Renxun helped his glasses frame.

He selectively withheld some information, such as the integrated precision of the Titan processor is higher than the technology currently mastered by the company. For example, the performance of the 40 series is better than that of the Titan processor. The large power consumption, and the large and heavy gas stove fan.

But it's okay, after all, the cost can still be controlled to a lower level than the Titan processor.

And he is waiting for Intel's response. After all, the Titan processor has made the 12th-generation Core a younger brother. As long as Intel and Nvidia join forces again, coupled with official help, the Titan processor will be the next AMD at most, and it will not be able to threaten it in a few years. to Nvidia.

But Lao Huang may have overestimated the actual situation of Intel.

In fact, Intel has not had a good life in the past few years. First, the mobile product Atom was completely abandoned, and various vulnerabilities in various processors were exposed.

The memory chip was hammered on the floor, and Optane just released a bunch of solid-state chips to hit the market. AVX-512 was released and then recycled.

I wanted to get a game graphics card, but at the critical moment, I was envious of the mining card market. As a result, the mining boom began to collapse, and I was going back to make game graphics cards, but the graphics card market was facing the situation of AMD, Nvidia, and Suiren.

And this is only the case on the user side. The new manager of Uncle Sam suddenly stated that he would ban the export of supercomputing and high-performance chips, and cut down on Intel's enterprise market.

Of course, Intel also has its own side of hard work, such as the shortcomings of insufficient technical reserves for the graphics card project, and the management took back a hidden stake.

From Intel, which was in full swing in the past, to AMD, a senior R\u0026D boss who has worked on cutting-edge projects for many years at AMD, after receiving the order from the old company, he immediately kicked off the care of AMD Su Ma and returned to the embrace of the blue giant Intel.

And squeezing toothpaste for so long, it can be regarded as having a "deep foundation" in terms of CPU.

Although the production capacity is not enough, although the technology is still flawed, although the project is not mature.

But watching the stock price fall again and again, even lower than AMD, Intel, the blue giant, stepped forward and immediately released the CPU plan from the 13th generation of Core Duo to the 17th generation of Core Duo.

The most violent of these is that Intel announced that the 13th generation of Core Duo will be released this year!

You must know that the 12th-generation Core CPU was released in the fourth quarter of Xiayin Star Calendar 1021. The new users have not used the new CPU for a few days, and the 13th-generation CPU will be released immediately. In order to fight against the Titan processor, Intel has changed the maximum number of cores from The 16 of the 12th generation has been increased to 24.

The moment the news was announced, countless Intel Core 12th generation users wailed.

"Intel! You stabbed all our 12th generation users! Draft!!!"

"FK! Intel!!!"

PS: Fortunately, I am a half-waiting party, otherwise I was really backstabbed by Intel. .
