In March 1993, Intel launched a new generation of central processing units, the 80586. As competition in the CPU market tended to intensify, Intel felt that it could no longer let CPU companies such as AMD and Cyrix use the same name to compete for its own jobs, so it proposed trademark registration. , because US law cannot use Arabic numerals to register, so iium registered the trademark.
Pentium means "five" in Latin. Intel also gave it a nice name, Pentium. The number of internal transistors is as high as 3.1 million. The initial launch clock frequency is 66mhz, and the computing power is 3 times higher than the 33mhz 80486dx. .
AMD has also launched the 5x86 series CPU, which is the 486-level product with the highest main frequency, 120mhz and 133mhz. It uses an integrated 16k cache, 350nm process technology, 33×4 133mhz, the performance is directly at pentiun75mhz, and the power consumption is less than pentium.
Cyrix also quickly launched its own new generation product, 5x86, which still uses the original 486 series CPU socket, but increases the main frequency from 100mhz to 120mhz. Compared with 486, 5x86 has increased performance.
The first IBM Pentium computer was launched in June 1993. Lenovo Group launched the first domestic Lenovo 586 computer in November 1993, priced at 11,000 yuan; Great Wall Group launched the Great Wall 586 computer in January 1994, priced at 10,500 yuan. .
The market prices of Great Wall 486 computers and Lenovo 486 computers have dropped to around 8,000 yuan.
In 1994, Pentium's clock frequency was upgraded to 100mhz, which was 6 to 8 times faster than the 33mhz 80486dx. Today, the clock frequency is upgraded to 200mhz.
The early Pentium 75mhz120mhz used the 500nm process technology, and later Pentiums with frequencies above 120mhz switched to the 350nm process technology.
In February and April 1996, AMD and Cyrix launched k5 and 6x86 processors, but they were launched nearly three years later than Intel's Pentium. Coupled with poor performance, the market response was mediocre.
In August 1996, iiummmx was born. A multimedia instruction enhancement technology was applied in the CPU, including 57 multimedia instructions. These instructions can process multiple data at one time. MMX technology, with the cooperation of software, can obtain better performance and improve Improved computer application capabilities in multimedia and 3D graphics.
iiummx's process technology is 350nm, and its integer operations and floating point operations are more powerful, leaving its competitors AMD and Cyrix far behind, dominating the CPUs of high-end computers and servers.
iiummmx stands out.
"Congratulations to Director Chen. On behalf of Sugon Communications Group, I will award the Server CPU Research Institute 5 million yuan."
Sun Jian personally drove to the Server CPU Research Institute of Guozhi Communications Semiconductor Research Institute. After hearing the news, Wang Xienian, Li Guoliang, Chen Zhihui, Song Yuanyi, Chen Yongqing, Deng Qing and Jin Yan went downstairs to greet them. The group came to the conference room with smiles on their faces. Met with the main R&D personnel of gzc4000.
Most people don't understand Sun Jian's excitement.
The server is called an advanced computer!
From July 1988, Sugon Communication Technology Company invested heavily to establish the Guozhi Server Research Department for Dr. Song Yuanxing and Dr. Chen Yongqing. It started from scratch to develop server motherboards and server CPUs. In the past eight years, Guozhi Server Motherboard Research Institute is now There are 356 R&D personnel, and the Guozhi Server CPU Research Institute has 347 R&D personnel, more than 50% of which are Ph.D.s, 40% of which are Ph.D.s recruited from the United States.
In August 1990, the research and development of gzc1000 successfully broke the technological monopoly of computer server central processors by Western countries led by the United States. The server is placed here.
Today, the market price of a gz3000 server equivalent to a 486 processor gzc3000 is only 8,800 yuan. A gz2000 server equipped with the equivalent of a 386 processor gzc2000 only costs 6,800 yuan. With high quality and low price, coupled with five-star customer service, it has occupied the domestic mid- to low-end market. 70% of the server market, raising the entry threshold for domestic server companies.
The gzc4000 test CPU entrusted to the pgca wafer company is equivalent to a 586 processor, has 3.2 million transistors, and has a clock frequency of 75mhz. After testing, the computing power is 4 times higher than the gzc3000 with a clock frequency of 50mhz.
The Guozhi Server Motherboard Research Institute led by Song Yuanyi successfully developed the motherboard for the gz4000 server at the end of last year and is now developing the motherboard for the gz5000 server.
gztelpentiummmx still has a big gap, lagging behind k5 and 6x86 processors.
With gzc4000, the gz4000 server will be born in Guozhi Server Equipment Company and will seize the mid-range market of domestic servers.
Bang bang...
"Director Chen, Director Song, and Shuguang Communications Group came forward to apply for academicianship of the Academy of Engineering for the two directors."
In the past eight years, researchers Chen Yongqing and Song Yuanxing have also published more than 20 papers with an impact factor of more than 5 in SCI journals such as "Progsotheieee," "Ieeeeeledeviceletters," JournaloSolidStateCircuits, and "Microeering". They have become reviewers for several internationally renowned magazines and served as reviewers for Fuda and Fuda. Honorary professors of Shanghai Jiao Tong University are well-known at home and abroad. In the field of domestic microprocessors and server motherboards, they are ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first. Becoming an academician of the Academy of Engineering is also expected by everyone.
With Sun Jian's reputation and means, the chance of successful application is greater.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
In July 1988, Chen Yongqing and Jin Yan were invited from the United States to the Guozhi Communication Semiconductor Research Institute to set up the Guozhi Server Research Department. The couple were very moved, but still a little worried, but with the development of gzc1000 to gzc4000 Successful, the couple not only had a successful career, but also became multi-millionaires.
"Director Chen, start the research and development of gzc5000 immediately. How much R&D funding is needed? Please apply to Dean Li."
You have to look forward to Shu!
The goal of gzc5000 is iiummmx to improve the application capabilities of gz5000 server in multimedia and 3D graphics.
Sun Jian was fortunate that the semiconductor production line of PG was established and put into production in August 1994, otherwise the test CPU of gzc4000 would have to be entrusted to TSMC.
Nowadays, if you need people and money, it will only be a matter of time before the successful development of gzc5000. However, Sun Jian began to worry that there will not be a 350nm process semiconductor production line in China by then. If the United States goes rogue, it will face a situation where there is rice but no pot.
"Okay, Mr. Sun!"
"Mr. Wang, immediately organize domestic expert appraisal and apply for the company's invention patent to the National Patent Office and the World Patent Office."
That year, during the share reform of Shanghai Shuguang Communication Technology Company, Guozhi Communication Semiconductor Research Institute, Guozhi Semiconductor Equipment Company and Guozhi Intelligent Security System Company did not enter Shuguang Communication Group. Guozhi Semiconductor Equipment Company, where Liu Hongyu served as general manager, and Huang Mingshan served as The general manager's Guozhi Intelligent Security System Company operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses. The administrative business is still managed by Sugon Communications Group. The administrative and logistics management of Guozhi Communications Semiconductor Research Institute is managed by Sugon Communications Group, and logistics management is paid according to market prices.
"OK!"
Seeing Sun Jian freely and freely, 52-year-old Wang Xienian was grateful for his original choice. It was like yesterday and his memory was still fresh. Now he is also a multi-millionaire, with both fame and fortune. His son Wang Jinzhi graduated from MIT with a PhD in microelectronics last year. , now works as a R&D staff at Guozhi Server CPU Research Institute. Wang Jinhui is also studying for a PhD in communications engineering at Stanford in the United States.
