At that time, computer floppy disks only had a few megabytes of storage capacity, while USB flash drives had a much larger storage capacity and huge development potential. Computer enthusiasts who saw a USB flash drive for the first time all loved it.
As for the GPU graphics processor, it should also be utilized to develop PC games.
Other computers can't run it; only the Wujiang computer with a GPU can play it. As long as the PC game is fun, it will definitely attract a large number of users.
As for this GPU, also known as a graphics card, in this era, the concept of GPU graphics processor was first proposed by the Wujiang Group, and it was applied to the "Tomahawk" game console, which achieved great success.
Wujiang's GPU brand is called "Kunpeng," which, like the "Qilin" CPU, is named after a mythical beast.
As for the operating system of Wujiang Computer, it is called Hongmeng.
As the saying goes, in the beginning of time, when chaos was first created, heaven and earth were first opened!
Then various mythical beasts were born!
To circumvent the patents of Microsoft and Apple's operating systems, Zhao Ye directly used macOS, the operating system of his previous life's MacBook, which features full-screen window mode, task control, launchpad, app store, and more...
Of course, it's practically impossible to completely bypass these features, such as desktop icons, drag-and-drop functionality, and double-clicking...
Fortunately, Apple was on a downward spiral at the time, so it was possible to obtain the relevant patents by paying a certain price.
Zhao Ye encouraged Qiu Bojun, saying that the 32-bit Kirin 3 microprocessor had been successfully developed and the listing of Wujiang Computer should be put on the agenda.
Qiu Bojun was extremely excited, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He thought to himself, "I've always seen the other departments in the group thriving; now it's our turn, the computer department!!!"
...
"Boss, look, our Kirin 3 is several times stronger than the same 32-bit ARM chip, with a computing speed of up to 80 MIPS and a working frequency of 60 MHz, which also surpasses Intel's processor."
Zhao Ye then went to Loongson Design Company.
Fu Feipeng explained the specifications of the Kirin 3 to Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye had already seen it in the report, but he still felt a little excited when he heard Fu Feipeng's introduction.
Without a doubt, the advent of Kirin 3 directly established Wujiang Group's top position in the chip industry!
Zhao Ye thought for a moment and said, "The Kirin 3 can still be optimized. There's no need to develop a 64-bit processor for now. I estimate that we won't need a 64-bit processor for a long time..."
At the same time, we will further improve the Loongson architecture, especially the modular design, to facilitate Loongson Design Company's future expansion into electrical chips, industrial chips, automotive chips, aerospace chips...
“Okay, boss, I understand!” Fu Feipeng nodded.
After giving his instructions, Zhao Ye immediately went to the NAND flash memory department.
Upon seeing Zhao Ye, Masuoka Fujiyu instinctively stepped forward and greeted him with extreme enthusiasm, "Boss, you've arrived!!!"
For Fujio Masuoka, Zhao Ye was not only a mentor, but also his idol. The multi-layered storage MLC structure proposed by Zhao Ye has been validated.
Fujio Masuoka led his team to develop a new generation of NAND flash memory using a multi-layered storage MLC structure.
A single flash memory chip can have a capacity of up to 50MB and cost less than $10!
If mass production is carried out, the cost will be even lower.
Only 20 NAND flash memory chips are needed to reach a size of 1GB.
At that time, IBM's mechanical hard drives had not yet exceeded 1GB in capacity.
If Wujiang Group were to launch a 1GB SSD (made from flash memory) priced at over $500, would consumers accept it?
Fujio Masuoka believes that quite a few people might be able to accept it.
However, at this time, mechanical hard drives were still much cheaper than flash memory, and NAND did not have much of an advantage in desktop computers.
Currently, NAND flash memory is mainly used for making USB flash drives and CF cards.
Perhaps SSDs will be more widely used in laptops.
