Chapter 319 Titan Processor
Investment is actually not a simple act. There are actually many ways to convert currency or other factors into capital.
For example, in the R&D funds for investment projects, the salary bonuses of R&D personnel are also included in the funds, as well as the large and problem-prone expenses of purchasing equipment and materials.
For example, when this project is put into production, investment money will be spent on factory construction, production line equipment procurement, maintenance, personnel requirements, etc.
Another example.
On December 1, Beijing North Technology Group Co., Ltd. announced that it plans to invest 10 billion yuan in the construction of a new generation OLED screen panel display device production line.
This investment is so large that stocks in industry sectors have been shaken.
After hearing the news, the reporter went to interview and investigate, and only after digging in depth did he find out the specific situation.
Beijing North stated that with the continuous development of the entertainment industry chain in recent years, the entertainment equipment and display panel industries are about to usher in an explosive period. At the same time, customers have higher requirements on product specifications such as size, brightness, refresh rate, and power consumption. The requirements are increasing day by day, and OLED microdisplay device production lines with higher process technology have become an inevitable trend. In order to meet the needs of the high-end market and enhance the competitiveness of the project company, it is planned to invest 10 billion yuan in the construction of high-end product production lines.
The most exciting thing is that Director Liu of Beijing Northern North said that this large-scale investment, the authorized supplier of technology and equipment is Jiuzhou Technology.
When this news interview came out that day, Jiuzhou Technology also responded positively, saying that it was indeed communicating, negotiating and cooperating with domestic display industry manufacturers to strive to bring more advanced and safer OLED screens to users.
Shark people still want pig hearts?
Beijing Northern shares led the way up by five points that day, driving a wave of dividends for Daxia display panel industry companies.
Korea and Hansung responded by falling another two points the next day.
When Tian Microelectronics, Huaxing Electronics and other companies saw this situation, they immediately said: "We are all a family. Talking about money hurts our feelings. We agree to the number your company mentioned before!"
Dong Qi, Li You and others finally ended their many days of socializing and returned to the headquarters to rest for a while.
Gu Qing looked at a few more numbers on the account and squinted his eyes.
"We have almost enough food and grass. In this battle, it is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, not to pretend to be the overlord."
I just returned home and experienced two days of happy family reunions. , Li You, as the head of the semiconductor department, received another meeting message prompt.
Small Jiuzhou Technology, big strategic goals.
"Yuan Universe?"
Everyone was surprised.
"Yes and no."
With a wave of Gu Qing's hand, the content of the PPT on the conference screen changed once.
“This is a hot concept recently, and it does not refer to a specific application or product.
Most of what Internet manufacturers are hyping now are concepts similar to the game world, but the actual metaverse can be seen as a physical reality enhanced by virtuality, showing the characteristics of convergence and physical persistence. It is based on the Internet and has link awareness and sharing characteristics. 3D virtual space.
In other words, these Internet companies are trying to make a big pie, and the current VR/AR simply cannot support the real implementation of this concept.
Of course I mentioned this concept because today’s meeting is related to it. Next, please take a look at a project that our semiconductor R&D department and titanium-tantalum R&D department have been working on during this period.
Titan processor is a product that integrates the functions of CPU and GPU. The two most important processors on the computer are integrated to complement each other and maximize performance.
Of course, it is a backward project called APU in recent years. After all, Intel, AMD, and Nvidia have cooperated and monopolized in their respective fields in recent years. APU has not been a very profitable project since its launch. It has long been ignored. However, our R&D team still overcame it. After all, the next stage of bionic mechanical prostheses requires technologies that cannot be supported by a single CPU and GPU.
The most important issues are architectural design and OEM manufacturing costs.
The biggest reason why today's computer CPUs and GPUs are very different, apart from profitability, is because of their different design goals. They respectively target two different application scenarios.
CPU is the central processing unit. It requires strong versatility to handle various data types in computers. At the same time, it requires logical judgment and introduces a large number of branch jumps and interrupt processing. All of these make the internal structure of the CPU extremely complex.
So in addition to the memory inside the CPU, there are also complex control logic and many optimization circuits. In comparison, the computing power is only a small part of the CPU.
GPU is a graphics processor. What it needs to deal with at work is highly unified and independent large-scale data and a pure computing environment that does not need to be interrupted, such as calculating game models, running 3D modeling, As well as mining that consumes a lot of computing power but has no actual output.
So the GPU uses a large number of computing units and an ultra-long pipeline, but only has very simple control logic.
In addition to the conventional central processor and image processor, the Titan processor we are currently developing also adds a Nebolu processor. The three processors become a three-level harmonious coexistence. .
Logical operations are handled by the CPU, and large amounts of computational program data are handled by the GPU, while the Nebolu processor is responsible for coordinating the data and converting brainwave information that we cannot see. ”
As soon as these words came out, the conference room became quiet for an instant.
There was not much quarrel. The executives who were not involved in this R&D project were all speeding up their brains to digest the knowledge points that Gu Qing had just explained.
Everyone knows about CPU/GPU, but when it comes to brain waves. Think again of the previous metaverse.
A concept that made their hearts beat red with envy and their breathing quicken was generated in their minds.
Hiss...
Is it really so scary? Has our company suddenly changed from a technology company to a science fiction company?
No one dared to speak loudly, but their blank eyes were focused on Gu Qing. There was expectation and twinkling in their eyes.
Being watched by a group of people, Gu Qing was no longer the simple young man.
He smiled lightly.
"What are you thinking? How could a sci-fi technology like a conscious helmet come out."
Oh... there was a quiet sigh in the corner.
"Of course we have opened up the visual signal, so it is no problem to make a virtual vision helmet." Gu Qing said softly.
“???”
“Yeah!”
“Whoops!”
“Is it really possible to transmit vision? ”
Some young executives opened their mouths and were even imagining scenes from science fiction movies.
Some older executives are still frowning and thinking about the concept of the virtual vision helmet that Mr. Gu said, is it VR or AR?
