"Mr. Liu, gzc will be handed over to TSMC for production immediately after being reviewed by the expert group."
gzcx is equivalent to the first generation pentium II, and is designed to be produced using a 20nm process technology. The 20nm process technology semiconductor production line introduced by pgca wafer company in November last year will not be ready for trial production until the end of August this year. Fortunately, TSMC, Samsung and nec wafer companies They all have a set of semiconductor production lines with 20nm process technology. On behalf of Guozhi Computer Company, Liu Hongyu contacted three wafer companies and finally chose TSMC. He has signed a gzcx wafer foundry agreement with Zhang Zhongmou.
In this era, semiconductor giants such as IBM, II, AMD and HP design their own chips, produce them in their own wafer factories, and complete chip testing and packaging themselves. Zhang Zhongmou, who founded TSMC in 1987, pioneered the oundry model of wafer foundry, headquartered in Taiwan's Hsinchu Science Park became the world's first professional integrated circuit manufacturing service company. "My company does not produce its own products, but only manufactures products for semiconductor design companies." This was unimaginable at the time, and there were no independent semiconductor companies. design company.
The chips developed by Sugon Communication Technology Research Institute were entrusted to TSMC for production, and the two parties have long established a good cooperative relationship.
In 1988, Foxconn, which aspired to become the world's largest OEM, also invested and built a factory in Pengcheng, specializing in the production of 3C products and semiconductor equipment.
Shuguang Toshiba Wafer Company, established in 1991 in Caohejing New Technology Park, Shanghai, also uses TSMC's wafer foundry model to manufacture integrated circuits for external OEMs.
gzcx does not need to apply for a company's invention patent separately. gzc is a series of CPUs. It is enough to add them directly. It is also protected by patent law for 20 years.
It is the same generation as Intel's Pentium CPU series. Otherwise, every time one is developed, one would have to wait for an 18-month patent application period, which would make the day lily cold!
The development of computers is changing with each passing day!
The price of computer CPUs changes almost every month. In June last year, the price of cyrix6x86l/200+ was 990 yuan. By January this year, the quotation from Computer City was only 00 yuan; the quotation of amd6/166 in June last year was 2,400 yuan, and by January this year it will only cost 1,000 yuan; the price quoted by pentium166 in June last year was 1,800 yuan, and by January this year it will only cost 900 yuan.
The price of computer CPU has dropped by 0% in half a year!
Once you buy a computer, its value will depreciate, just like buying a car in your previous life.
Computer experts suggest that with the rapid development of computers, it is enough to buy equipment that meets the needs within half a year. Otherwise, you will eventually find that the upgrade is of no value when it is just needed.
"Okay, Mr. Sun!"
General manager Liu Hongyu and deputy general manager Liu Dakun are very busy now.
On January 1, 1998, Guozhi Computer Company announced that in order to celebrate New Year's Day, the Guozhi brand 86 advanced computer equipped with gzc000, gz000 motherboard, gz1.2g hard drive, gz32mb memory, gz2m cache graphics card, and gz8x optical drive was available for 7888 yuan including free gifts. Pengoicex is now available at a discounted price of 388 yuan.
gzc4000 is equivalent to pentium, gzc000 is equivalent to pentiumpro.
Guozhipai Server Company also announced that the Guozhipai server equipped with gzc000s is on the market.
Guozhi CPU Research Institute is divided into desktop research department, notebook CPUmobilecpu research department, and server cpuservercpu research department, which separately studies different types of CPUs.
The Guozhi brand server cpugzc000s, Guozhi brand desktop computer cpugzc000, and Guozhi brand notebook computers have been successfully developed. They are produced by Sugon Toshiba Wafer Company ttab using 30nm process technology. On December 1 last year, the Guozhi brand notebook computer with gz was the first to be assembled. Listed.
The mobilecpu research department developed gzcxm. Its internal structure is the same as gzcx, but it is much smaller and has different interfaces. Due to the space limitations of laptops, many devices are integrated on the motherboard, including the CPU and graphics card, which are generally welded. On the motherboard, the performance is only about 70% of gzcx, and the power consumption is only 0%. Since gzcxm integrates power management technology that desktop CPUs do not have, the manufacturing process is often more advanced than gzcx, but gzcxm lowers the main frequency and pursues performance. At the same time, it also pursues low heat and low power consumption, and the price is 10% cheaper than gzcx.
The servercpu research department developed gzcxs, which is significantly different from gzcx in terms of instruction set, cache, interface, stability requirements, multi-link interaction, etc., and the price is about 10 times that of gzcx.
The gzcx that has been successfully developed today refers to the gzcx that has successfully developed desktop computers.
Time is the life of an enterprise, and it is the same for Guozhi Computer Company.
gzcx is already 11 months behind the first generation of pentium II. It will take about three months from successful development to launch. By then, the second generation of pentium II may be successfully developed, and the price of the first generation of pentium II may be reduced by 0%.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
In the ever-changing computer field, Guozhi Computer Company may not necessarily be able to make money if it develops and produces its own CPUs and computer motherboards. Perhaps gzter will reduce the price of the first-generation pentium II by 0% for the purpose of suppressing its opponents. If it is not managed well, Guozter will Intelligent computer companies are very likely to lose money on each sale, and Lenovo computers, which do not have the core computer technology, will make money.
Because Inter's technical strength in developing CPUs is too strong and it has monopolized the high-end CPU market, AMD, the only competitive company in the world, has been suppressed. While focusing on the development of 7, it also contacted Compaq, Dec and other companies to The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sued Intel in the name of antitrust. In early March, the U.S. Department of Justice and 20 states including Texas formally filed antitrust lawsuits against Intel.
Another American computer CPU company, Cyrix, is old and frail and has become unable to cope with its needs.
Sun Jian began investing heavily in server CPU deployment in 1988, recruiting troops and deploying them himself. In the past 10 years, he has invested more than 6 billion yuan in R&D funds, not including the huge investment in establishing a joint venture wafer factory, ranging from CPUs to motherboards. , hard disk, memory, cache, optical drive and other core components have been comprehensively laid out, and fruitful technical achievements have been achieved. However, now Guozhi Semiconductor Research Institute is still in the role of a chaser, and there is no chance to stop. Guozhi Computer Company is walking on thin ice, with a little bit of trouble. Shen will fall into the abyss!
With the launch of the Guozhi brand 86 computer, the market price of the domestic 86 computer has been reduced by about 2,000 yuan. Consumers have benefited, but most computer companies have lost money and made a profit. Guozhi Computer Company is a black sheep in the country. Considered a thorn in the side of most computer companies.
If Guozhi Computer wants to stand out, the only way is to lower prices, lower prices, and lower prices again, sacrificing profits to seize market share, prevent other companies from entering the complete computer production industry, and cause most existing computer companies to go bankrupt early.
When Lenovo Group wanted to develop computer CPUs from scratch, it was like seeking death, with almost no room for survival. Only then did Sun Jian understand Liu Zhuanzhi's wisdom and Ni Guanglan's too idealism.
The lack of cores is not a problem for Lenovo Group, a computer company. Computer companies around the world are facing this problem.
Global computer companies are like little daughters-in-law, depending on the face of Intel, the mother-in-law.
