When Cheng Gong's Kunpeng just became successful, he had no doubts. He thought that the chip was not approved for listing by the group because it was not advanced enough.
Although it is much better than Huaguang II III.
It uses 0.13 micron process, integrates 10 million transistors, and has a main frequency of 500Mhz.
Its computing power is more than five times that of the Huaguang II III and more than four times that of AMD's K5 of the same period. Even compared with the Pentium II, its computing power is three or four times that of the other.
However, since Intel's Pentium III had not yet been released, Cheng Gong did not know what level Kunpeng was at. Therefore, he was calm and did not take it seriously until this chip was released.
But one thing happened that changed this situation.
On July 6, 2000, the Pentium III, which had been so popular that no one came down even though they heard the footsteps of the stairs, finally made its debut.
This is sixteen months after its appearance in the previous life.
No matter how late it is, it finally came out.
The Pentium III is a 1x1 square of silicon containing 9.5 million transistors, manufactured using Intel's 0.25-micron process technology. The processor uses the Katmai core, available at 450 or 500 MHz. The core's most notable feature is an updated multimedia instruction set called SSE, which adds 70 new instructions to MMX to enhance 3D and floating-point applications, while maintaining compatibility with all previous MMX programs.
Cheng Gong couldn't sit still after tinkering with the chip.
To be fair, the Pentium III with Katmai core has no outstanding features except the SSE instruction set mentioned above.
From this we can see that Intel was also confused and launched the Pentium III in a daze.
Compared with it, Cheng Gong felt that his Kunpeng was not inferior at all, and even surpassed it in some aspects of performance.
He spoke up for his Kunpeng.
Why can a weak-looking Pentium III take up a sword and rule the mountain, while Kunpeng, who is more powerful than it, has to become a bandit?
He wants to talk to Wan Feng.
Wan Feng is here.
Huaguang Chip now has 600 scientific researchers, and there is only one project here, which is the design of various chips.
Whether the chips are sold in bulk for a dime or cost hundreds or thousands of dollars each in the market, as long as there is a demand, they will take the job and design them.
Really connected to the ground.
Huaguang Chip looks like a small company specializing in low-end chips.
Of course, those who do this kind of work are lower-level programmers, and senior scientific researchers naturally study high-end things.
The conversation between Wan Feng and Cheng Gong lasted for more than an hour.
Wan Feng did not directly talk about chips, but talked about the international situation, starting from the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and then talked about the Gulf War, the Yugoslav Civil War, and NATO's attack on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and continued to talk about China's accession to the WTO.
Cheng Gong is a scientist who cares about scientific research all day long. How could he understand this international situation?
Through this rambling, like telling a story, Wan Feng helped Cheng Gong understand some of the international order, mainly the hegemony of the US dollar.
"Are you saying that if we catch up with American companies in chip manufacturing, we will be suppressed by the US?"
Wan Feng nodded.
"Doesn't the US promote freedom of speech and trade every day?"
"Haha! That's just for fun. Their freedom of speech is that I can be free, but you can't. The same is true for freedom of trade. When I have a technological advantage, I can be free and easily enter other countries' markets to make money. But when you have a technological advantage, this freedom no longer exists. If I feel I can't beat you, I will destroy you. If I can't do it, you can't do it either. If I can't destroy you, I will create trouble for you and cause chaos."
These words seriously subverted Cheng Gong's three views.
"Xiao Wan! Are you saying that our Kunpeng isn't listed in order to avoid attracting the attention of the US government?"
"Westerners are an incompletely evolved race. They still have half the genes of wild beasts, and they are capable of doing anything without any moral principles. Therefore, not allowing Kunpeng to go public is not only a way to protect Huaguang Chip, but also to avoid causing trouble for our country's entry into the WTO. Even if we want to enter the market, we have to wait until our country has fully joined the WTO, but by then Kunpeng may be behind."
"I understand! We will immediately improve and upgrade the Kunpeng chip so that it will not be behind when it is launched on the market."
Cheng Gong was very efficient in his work. After he understood the importance of the matter, he immediately put his worries aside and turned around to prepare for the next step.
Wan Feng did not stay in Shenzhen Huaguang Chip for too long. This place was where technicians and scientists lived, and he was a rough guy... It was a bit unfair to call him a rough guy.
But it is not wrong to say that he is a rough guy.
As a small and uncouth guy, he felt it was out of place to be here, so he knew his place and quickly packed up a handful of garlic and left.
One mile northwest of Huaguang Chip is Chenhui Industry.
Chenhui Industry has now developed spectacularly. The number of employees has expanded to a thousand, and it produces five or six types of mobile phones, with an annual output of more than 1.5 million mobile phones.
Cheng Huimin has been coming here almost every day recently.
He was worried about the launch of H2688, so he came here every day to monitor the yield rate.
If the yield rate of this mobile phone does not meet the standards, he is very worried that Chenhui Industrial will have no chance of producing the next new mobile phone.
If your company's new product always fails to meet the yield rate, why should you still be allowed to make it?
Cheng Huimin walked around the workshop with Wan Feng with a smile on his face. The gangster boss who was feared by everyone in Xianggang was as kind as an older brother next door here. The scene was very strange.
"Are all the administrators here from Xianggang?" Wan Feng discovered a problem.
Although these administrators had smiles on their faces, they could not conceal the arrogance in their eyes.
"Yes, yes! They are all top students who graduated from Xianggang University."
"Haha! Let me be frank. The top students at your Xianggang University are probably only at the level of second-tier universities in mainland China. Can they really manage them well?"
Wan Feng's words left Cheng Huimin at a loss for words. He had always believed that the educational level of Hunan-Hong Kong University was much higher than that of the mainland, but this was the first time he had heard such a statement.
"Mr. Wan! That's not right! Xianggang University's international ranking is higher than that of mainland China."
"Haha! These rankings controlled by Western capital are just for show. They don't mean anything at all."
These rankings released by the West, which has the final say, will naturally put universities in their own countries and former colonies at the top. Rankings of universities that are not their own will naturally not allow you to rank very high.
This standard applies not only to university rankings, but also to any field.
Why should I put things that are not in line with my opinion at the top when I have the final say?
