Xing Baohua received some good news these past few days: the aircraft carrier and battlecruiser he purchased will arrive in Hong Kong within a month.
Although they are all old and outdated ships, there are only a handful in the world. Sometimes people would rather dismantle them than sell them.
The power systems, weapon systems, radar systems, and other components of both ships have been removed, leaving only empty shells.
Even this empty structure is enough for us to study for a while.
To be honest, setting up a theme park is a really good idea. There have been quite a few companies in China that have gone crazy and built aircraft carrier theme parks, combining restaurants and shopping malls.
For example, a certain city built a cement structure, which reportedly cost a huge amount of money, built along a lake, with a park, a lake, and a themed restaurant and shopping area.
The idea was good, but there weren't many people. It was still novel for the first two days after it opened, but then all the businesses disappeared and nobody went anymore.
This thing attracts attention wherever it goes. After all, it's the real thing. Just feeling the coldness of the deck makes you realize how much iron it must have been made of! It must have made a lot of money selling for scrap metal!
The gun barrels of battlecruisers, in particular, are chilling to look at. The saying that truth lies within the range of artillery is indeed true.
It wasn't easy for the tugboat to bring these two large objects across the Pacific Ocean. Xing Baohua had already arranged a place for them to be moored, and he had to pay high berthing and management fees every year.
Xing Baohua has been flying back and forth between Hong Kong and mainland China during this period.
ARM's low-power chip has reached the tape-out stage and, after rigorous testing, will begin mass production.
Xing Baohua even went to central Shandong for a period of time to keep an eye on it, but the only regret was that the yield rate was between 65% and 73%.
Achieving quality control and lowering prices is not something that can be done in the short term.
Even with such a low yield rate, Xing Baohua can control the cost to around $21, and he can even double the retail price.
Back when Peddle left Motorcycles, he developed a $25 chip, which led to the creation of Steve Jobs and his big fruit.
The $25 chip was only an eight-bit chip, and it was designed to compete with Motorola's most profitable 6800. Moreover, Motorola sold the 6800 for over $300, and the price only dropped to around $200 after the $25 chip came out.
At the time, its price of $25 was far superior to similar chips.
ARM chips are 32-bit after all, and their only advantage over 386 chips is price.
However, in terms of performance, all 32-bit chips completely outperform Xing Baohua's inexpensive chip. After all, the number of crystals is pitifully small; this is the price of a crippled version.
Lacking complex instructions, it cannot compete with high-performance chips. However, it is more than sufficient for use as a microcontroller or for embedding chips.
If you're thinking of using it as a computer, it feels like a small horse pulling a heavy cart; it's likely to overheat and burn out when running demanding programs. Given its low power consumption, you might not even consider installing a heatsink.
To get the most out of this chip, you need a good operating system.
By imitating the path of the big fruit, the big fruit will have nowhere to go.
Big Apple's iOS hasn't been released yet, but even if it is, we're not afraid of it. After all, the method is the same, but the file format is different. The JAR file format was something Xing Baohua figured out a long time ago.
At first, he wasn't used to it and only used it on mobile phones and tablets. Now he's porting it to computer devices. Once the system is working, Xing Baohua will be in the spotlight.
Not only is he facing attacks from hardware manufacturers, but his friendship with Gates is also likely to end there, turning them into adversaries.
As long as Xing Baohua survives this turbulent period, he can be considered to have gained a foothold.
Of course, he will definitely face many restrictions and even lose a lot of market share. He had already thought of this when he started his business and prepared for this big battle every year.
Is the time right?
No!
But an opportunity arose when ARM2 was released, which Xing Baohua renamed Loongson 1.
Used on tablets and computers, the price of computers should be kept below 10,000 yuan, with different prices depending on the configuration. The lowest price should be around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, and the highest configuration should be below 10,000 yuan.
Then they will release the Intel chips as high-end models.
Divided into D series and G series.
The D series represents entry-level products, while the G series represents high-end business products.
Once the tested and qualified chips are obtained, the motherboard design and the matching of various hardware components will begin based on the chip's performance.
Xing Baohua was specifically in charge of this aspect, because they were creating a product that would cross the centuries, so they had to do it well and couldn't be careless.
After three weeks of assembly and testing, the motherboard was finally completed. However, achieving perfection is impossible, so the samples need to undergo continuous engineering testing.
Several chips burned out during testing. It wasn't a heat dissipation issue, but rather they burned out when running slightly larger programs.
The cause is still a power consumption issue. The chip simply can't handle complex programs. What can be done?
The only solution is to optimize the program to achieve a simplified instruction set. This, in turn, involves software-related issues.
Xing Baohua called Xiao Tian, who had just answered the phone lazily when he heard his boss's unfriendly tone.
"What did you do? Didn't I tell you to optimize the system and software? Now three chips have exploded, and the programs can't even run. Do you still want a vacation?"
"No, your chip is faulty and it has nothing to do with my software!" Xiao Tian explained.
"How can it be no problem? The chip is what it is; it can only be modified through software. If you can't fix it, then it's your problem. Quickly bring your people to central Shandong. If you don't complete the mission, I'll transfer Geng Rui to work in Antarctica."
Xiao Tianna: "..."
Well, that damn boss really has a lot of power. Why doesn't he send Geng Rui to work on the moon? Every time the moon is full, he can look up at it and compose a poem.
