Chapter 183 I'll Beat You to a pulp

Zhang Pengfei looked at the tower server and laptop in front of him with suspicion, not quite understanding Chen Jingyang's intentions.

Chen Jingyang thoughtfully explained, "This server is top-of-the-line, equipped with a set of Zenti's top-of-the-line S100 motherboards."

The S100 is a high-end accelerated computing card designed by Zenti specifically for data centers. It is considered one of the core hardware components in the current field of AI and high-performance computing and is widely used in heavyweight tasks such as large-scale language model training and scientific computing.

Moreover, because the S100 uses the most advanced 4nm/5nm process technology, its production is complex and its capacity is limited. Furthermore, Zenti is the only AI accelerator company that can provide such performance, which has created a technological monopoly.

As a result, global tech giants purchase in bulk for tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars to train their own large models. With such massive purchases, the share that flows to the open market and small companies is almost zero.

As a result, the S100 became so expensive that it was as rare as paper in Luoyang, creating a situation where it was extremely difficult to obtain. At one point, the price of a single graphics card exceeded 300,000 RMB, and you still couldn't buy one!

Chen Jingyang opened the drawer and took out a palm-sized green circuit board, which was covered with tiny chips and interfaces, looking like a part taken from some high-end toy.

He connected the circuit board to his laptop with a USB cable, then turned on the server and the laptop, allowing both to simultaneously access a currently popular AI painting website.

"Baby, describe a scene you want to see, the more complex the better."

Zhang Pengfei frowned and thought for a moment, then recited: "The dark mountains are bathed in the sunlight, the green streams are shrouded in mist, and the cold mist locks the sandbars. The reeds are heavy with dew, the bamboo leaves are wet with dew, and the maple and tallow trees are blown down by the wind. An old man casts his line by the rocky shore, and idle gulls chase the waves across the sandbars. The fisherman's song is half-finished and fades into the distance with the clouds, and the setting sun sends the evening boats off to a thousand peaks."

This poem centers on the theme of "fishing in seclusion on an autumn river," blending multiple layers of imagery, with movement and stillness intertwined and rich in color, deeply integrating figures and scenery.

It not only depicts the leisurely posture of the old man fishing, but also expands the artistic conception through "fishermen's songs following the clouds" and "the setting sun sending off the boat". The details are rich and the picture is very vivid, which fits Chen Jingyang's requirements very well.

Chen Jingyang typed the text in, then pressed the start button with both hands simultaneously.

The server immediately went into overdrive, with the fans humming loudly.

Chen Jingyang reminded Zhang Pengfei: "Baby, look at the power meters on both sides."

Zhang Pengfei looked up and saw the numbers on the power meter connected to the server rapidly climbing: 600W...900W...1500W.

The power meter readings on the laptop were 4W...10W...16W.

What surprised him even more was that the image on the laptop was completely generated in less than three seconds, while the progress bar on the server had only progressed to less than a third of its full size!

"What's going on?" Zhang Pengfei asked in surprise. "Is it because of this circuit board?"

Chen Jingyang smiled and said, "What circuit board? It's an FPGA board. But the one that really works isn't this board, but the IC running system inside."

Zhang Pengfei was completely bewildered: "What is that?"

"Do you remember when I was at Tanzhi, I told you the little-known reason why I returned to China?"

Zhang Pengfei nodded: "You said you came up with some kind of neural algorithm, but nobody agrees with it."

"It is an ultra-efficient algorithm based on a dynamic sparse spiking neural network!"

The results he had painstakingly developed day and night, which were enough to shock the world, were actually simplified by Zhang Pengfei into a neural algorithm. Well, it can't be said to be entirely wrong, but it just sounds so abnormal!

"Mmm!" Zhang Pengfei nodded. "Yes, yes, it's this neural algorithm. And then what?"

Sigh, forget it, I can't reason with a liberal arts student like him.

"Then I turned this idea into reality and successfully ported it to an FPGA board."

Zhang Pengfei really didn't understand, so what happened next?

Is that impressive?

Why does Chen Jingyang act like he's already at the top of the world?

Forget it, I won't stoop to his level. Chen Jingyang cupped Zhang Pengfei's bewildered face, turned him around, and looked at the two power meters.

"Baby, do you know what this result means?"

Zhang Pengfei shook his head very honestly: "I don't know."

Chen Jingyang's lips curled into a smile, full of confidence, and his words were firm: "This means that Zenti will definitely go bankrupt within three years!"

"How is that possible?"

Yeah, how could that be?

Even though Zhang Pengfei wasn't in the tech industry, he knew what a behemoth Zenti was.

Today, Zenti holds a dominant 90% market share in the AI ​​computing power output field alone!

Its market value is rising rapidly, having recently surpassed the trillion-dollar mark, and is striding toward becoming the world's most valuable company. Who can bankrupt it within three years?

Let alone Zhang Pengfei, even his peers would find it absurd.

Chen Jingyang casually pointed to the circuit board: "Because it's about to be released."

"Is it because it's fast and consumes little power?"

Chen Jingyang raised an eyebrow, his smile seemingly casual, but upon closer inspection, his sharpness was revealed: "Also because it's cheap and easy to use."

Seeing that Zhang Pengfei couldn't understand, he gave a simple example: "For instance, if I want to send a letter to a place 3,000 miles away, the best way now is to give the letter to Zenti, because they have the fastest horses and the most post stations. As long as you pay enough, it can be delivered in a day."

Zhang Pengfei stared blankly at him, half confused and half expectant as he listened to him continue.

"But now, I have invented electricity and the telephone, which can deliver a letter in just a few seconds and at less than a tenth of the cost of Zenti."

Of course, this example is somewhat exaggerated, but that's the gist of it.

An S100 graphics card costs as much as 300,000 yuan and is hard to find. A complete server usually needs to be equipped with 8 S100 graphics cards.

Even setting aside the price, the power consumption during operation alone is enough to make one's wallet ache.

However, a domestically produced FPGA board equipped with Chen Jingyang's research results only costs a few thousand yuan, and its processing speed far exceeds that of the S100, while its power consumption is negligible compared to the S100!

Once this is exposed, I ask you, who would still spend 300,000 yuan to snatch an S100?

So Zenti's current rapid expansion will become a huge joke in the future!

The larger it expands, the greater the loss!

This is why Chen Jingyang was willing to use 100 million yuan to "incentivize" Li Jianren to "make a name for himself" in Zenti as soon as possible, because he simply couldn't hide this huge bomb for long.

But only when Zenti is big enough can it really be fun to explode!

Relying on their superior numbers and power, they conspired to seize my post station and steal my horses?

Very well, I don't want them anymore, you can have them all!

I've upgraded the track. Come and try to steal it again if you dare, I'll beat you to a pulp!
