Chapter 378: A certain song by Huo Huo
In addition to Rebus's press conference, Geli and Haier also gave corresponding explanations at the same time, and were also directly preparing to launch products with program improvements.
We are also actively developing new home appliances and even robots that can be enhanced by joining the Red Queen+ system.
But what has to be said is that Wheat was able to start off as an OEM and carve out a niche, and it does have its own uniqueness in terms of marketing capabilities.
At the press conference, Rebus, a legend in the domestic investment community, still brought enough emotion and provocation.
At least after the press conference, I am generally looking forward to this smart home, and I also want to try it!
TV channels can be converted directly and easily, and those with paid channels can also be filtered automatically.
There is also the 'garbage recognition' function and precise locking of the sweeping robot. These capabilities are really impressive.
Indeed, as the Wheat press conference said, with Red Queen+ as the core, we will be able to develop home robots with more functions in the future!
The battery problem has been solved, the intelligence problem has been solved, and now the structural problem needs to be solved.
Yes, bipedal robots are very troublesome, and there are barriers to balance.
It can be similar to a sweeping robot. It can use rollers or multiple legs. The center of gravity can be lowered and some other tools can be installed on it. If it is really feasible, some simple maintenance can be done in the future, such as changing light bulbs and vacuuming. , even cooking, cooking and homework may be replaced by robots!
As long as there is an Internet connection...
However, precisely because of the popularity of Red Queen+, companies such as Microsoft, Mogo, Fruit, IBM, Intel, etc. quickly noticed another difference.
The functions provided by Red Queen+ are too powerful and comprehensive. This is not just pure text communication, although Umbrella has its own cloud processing center and supercomputer.
But if it is comprehensively promoted to all aspects, it is still not enough!
Because not every company is the product of a standard module, they all require local-appropriate responses or actual operations, and the required data processing adds up to too much.
This...
How many chips did they secretly produce?
Moreover, Umbrella has previously promoted their "White Queen" chips, which are based on the ARM architecture. The ARM architecture is characterized by low power consumption, but its performance is completely inferior to Intel's X86 architecture.
Not to mention GPUs that specifically focus on computing power. For example, NVIDIA's RTX Ampere architecture is quite excellent.
There is also the AMDBulldozer architecture used in supercomputing chips.
After Umbrella was sanctioned by the chip, it entered a 'black box' state. Knowing that they are capable of processing 14nm process chips, they are already the first echelon in the world, and their DUV lithography machine is more efficient than ASML's. Stronger.
But now that such a large-scale expansion is happening suddenly, it can only mean that the accumulation of chips Umbrella has saved far exceeds imagination. Is this a case of excess computing power?
Because of the patent rights exchanged when EDA was strengthened, Umbrella can use many classic architectures and carry out its own updates and iterations.
Unlike the sales of mobile products, Umbrella does not sell chips and servers to the outside world, and has no idea about the computing status of their own cloud processing.
But now it seems that the situation may be a little unexpected...
……
In a certain song laboratory, the 53-qubit quantum computer ‘Platus Suzuki’ has been born ahead of schedule.
The researchers' eyes were filled with excitement.
"It's finally out! Combined with the previous quantum algorithm, there should be a chance to combine it with our supercomputing."
"Once the quantum + supercomputing model is successful, there will be a huge growth in the field of artificial intelligence. Relying on the basic algorithm of artificial intelligence, I think there is a chance to approach or even reach the level of the Red Queen."
"However, 53 qubits is still a bit too little. The cumbersome conversion of mathematical tools during connection may also lead to a certain reduction in supercomputing power..."
"After all, it's just a prototype for practice."
"..."
The Suzuki in front of them is just a prototype machine for verification, and it has many shortcomings, such as reliability and error rate.
And because of the limitations of quantum computing, the scenarios that can be used are also limited.
However, in terms of its own expertise, Suzuki has surpassed the world's top supercomputers hundreds of times.
The entire quantum computer looks like a machine frozen in a refrigerator. It uses superconducting materials, and the overall structure looks very complex.
Originally, quantum computers of this level could only be used to do some specific things for the time being. However, after Wang Yi's magic number conversion algorithm was taken out and everyone verified it, in addition to Wang Yi himself getting more, they also found Some simple ways to use connections.
For the time being, if Suzuki is combined with supercomputing, the actual decline in computing power will be due to errors in calculations and waste of computing power when connecting the two parties.
But at least the connection process they are testing now is no longer a problem. The next step is to continuously improve the reliability and the number of qubits.
It is expected that positive bonuses will be obtained when reaching 100 qubits, and all subsequent increases will be earned.
"This is our opportunity to overtake. We must continue to apply for funding and ask for more funding! And if it is possible to poach Professor Wang, no, just let him give a few more classes and publish some papers. That’s fine too.”
One technician was scratching his head. Some problems felt like they were about to be solved, but they were just a little short of it.
There is no doubt that the great mathematician can definitely solve it!
But at this moment, the person in charge who had gone out for a meeting came back with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, don't worry about funding. Just go ahead and do it. We have already received news that Congress has passed a subsidy bill. Our future research funding will be secured, and we will increase investment."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was already highly motivated because of the birth of the first quantum computer was suddenly shocked.
So generous?
It’s really rare!
However, they will still remind you
"Given the relationship between Professor Wang and Umbrella, when they proposed this algorithm for discussion, I think Umbrella may also be focusing on researching quantum computers, and everyone knows their technology and cannot be careless."
Hearing this, the person in charge smiled proudly
"ASML has developed the latest EUV lithography machine, and AMD and Nvidia have also launched chip structures with higher computing power. By then we will be able to build stronger supercomputers, so what we need to overcome now is quantum computers. Partly, now that the prototype has appeared and the theory is feasible, the only thing left is to increase the qubits and computing power. We have an advantage!”
Today's quantum computing, even with the latest magic number formula, must have the cooperation of supercomputing to maximize efficiency. Now that EUV lithography machines have been released, they will be able to take the lead in the field of supercomputing and surpass security by walking on two feet. Bray!
Even if Umbrella's quantum computer has certain advantages, it cannot make up for the gap. After speaking, he said with emotion
"Actually, we still need to thank Umbrella, because they have shown the practical business prospects of artificial intelligence. With enough profits, they will have enough motivation. When the time comes to block their technology, we will use EUV lithography machines to manufacture more We are left to dominate advanced chips. Now our main competitor is actually IBM, which has also made great achievements in this area.”
ASML's EUV lithography machine has now entered mass production ahead of schedule due to the upgrading of lens technology.
The current common process for chips is still 14nm, and Umbrella has indeed mastered this technology, but upgrading photolithography machines is not that simple!
It's a completely different track. It's impossible to rely solely on the second-rate equipment you purchased from Neon!
You must know that there is still a gap between Umbrella's DUV lithography machine and ASML's in terms of limits.
You can take advantage of DUV, EUV lithography machine is the hard power!
This is internal strength and cannot be achieved in one step.
EUV lithography machines are the crystallization of various technologies. They continue to use the original DUV lithography machines to reach 7nm, and even cannot reach 7nm due to the problem of accuracy limit.
The EUV lithography machine can almost reach the physical limits of silicon-based chips!
At that time, we can gradually pull out the generation gap, and then slowly replace it!
"Once Big Beauty becomes serious, Umbrella will find that they are enemies of the whole world. They have discovered the 'magic' and found a way to use it. It is great and amazing, but they cannot use this advantage to overwhelm the entire world. After all, there are still shortcomings in the field. To put it bluntly, 'magic' is just a kind of physical rule that was not discovered before. Now it has been discovered..."
