1991 Starting from the core

"In the first step, Apple will re-establish a research and development team based on the original members of ARM, adopt the cooperation method between us and Xinghai, conduct daily online communication, and then meet from time to time to collaborate on research and development. All successes will be shared by both parties. , the results have been obtained and both parties have exclusive authorization.”

Xinghai has always adopted this method of cooperation with Yuanxin, and the cooperation between the two parties does not stop there, and even includes the transfer of patents in more fields...

For example, Yuanxin also has authorization for the GPU architecture, and similarly, Xinghai also has authorization for the YX architecture.

To put it bluntly, both sides are copies, for the convenience of crossing into each other's domain at any time.

At this time, Chen Haomin said with some confusion: "This should be the entire cooperation plan, right? What are the other two steps?"

"Yes... the initial cooperation plan is indeed like this, but we have to think more about it." Su Yuanshan smiled.

"The second step is to maintain our leadership position in cooperation." Here, Su Yuanshan said "maintain" rather than "acquire", which means that Yuanxin is taking the lead.

But everyone knows that Apple is not willing to be inferior to others in terms of strength or ambition. If Apple achieves a huge breakthrough or advantage in the research and development of the YX architecture, then it will be a matter of course for Apple to gain a leadership position in the cooperation.

"In fact, the main thing is to conquer Apple's team with technology. Only then can the third step be possible."

"So in the end, we directly annexed Apple's chip design department."

Su Yuanshan expressed his final ambition very calmly.

Everyone was speechless.

The two parties had just verbally agreed to cooperate, without even signing the letter of intent, and he began to think about annexing the other party's team...

But Yang Yiwen immediately thought of another thing and couldn't help but ask: "In that case, wouldn't it mean that senior brother's team will be separated?"

The senior brother Yang Yiwen mentioned was naturally Tang Wenjie's senior brother - Tang Wenjie was the second direct disciple of Academician Su Xinghe, and his only senior brother was of course Qin Weimin.

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded.

To turn Apple's design team into Yuanxin's, the only way out is for Qin Weimin's team to become an independent subsidiary. Then rely on market influence to deepen the exchange of talents and technology with Silicon Valley and pave the way for global supply of future structures.

"I'm afraid that senior brother may not be willing." Tang Wenjie chuckled and said: "Now he is particularly yearning for the life of a wife and children, and he can't wait to retire tomorrow. If you ask him to manage a company... I'm afraid he won't do it."

"Then it's up to him." Su Yuanshan joked.

He knows Qin Weimin well. Although in this life, Qin Weimin and Yuanxin have witnessed the gradual rise of domestic chips, and he does not have more sense of mission like in his previous life, his bones have not changed and he still yearns for technology. How is it possible to retire?

…

The next day, Su Yuanshan went to Xinghai to meet Carly, and then attended Microsoft's Windows 95 conference on time. At the press conference, he sat very low-key in the second row - even though he was also in the center.

And it can be seen from Microsoft's seating arrangement that although Microsoft did not invite Xinghai at the beginning, once it decided to invite Xinghai, it immediately placed Xinghai in the same position as Intel.

Carly's table and Andy Grove's seat were both in the center of the first row.

The release of Win95 goes without saying. Except for a small number of relevant industry practitioners and big guys, the rest are basically journalists. And among these people, there are not many users who have used the beta version. Therefore, as Bill Gates ended the boring technical explanation and entered the real machine demonstration operation on the big screen, those reporters who had "never seen the world" began to explode There were bursts of applause.

Frankly speaking, as a graphical operating system aimed more at home users, win95 deserves to be a groundbreaking figure and truly establish Microsoft's dominance.

Since then, personal PCs have been called "multimedia computers".

Amid constant applause and whistles, Mr. Gates continued his demonstration.

It is worth mentioning that win95 fully supports USB1.1 standard plug and play - for this reason, Mr. Gates also specially found a USB mouse to plug and unplug at any time.

Of course, this operation only caused symbolic applause from some people. After all, not everyone knows what USB is all about. And in their opinion, the mouse and keyboard with PS2 interface is completely sufficient...

Only Su Yuanshan sighed in his heart, win95 has integrated USB driver, which means that the probability of blue screen of death in win95 will be greatly reduced in the future.

——Only those who have used win95.98 know how easily the PS2 interface mouse and keyboard can cause a system blue screen.

"In addition, our system also supports MMX, the most advanced multimedia instruction set in current processors. Its existence enables Windows 95 to get the best experience when playing multimedia programs. You don't have to worry about it as before, as long as Watch a video and the entire computer can do nothing else, and you can drag and decode smoothly at any time.”

As Gates explained, Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head.

He knows that the historical mission of the video decoding accelerator card has been completed - although Yuanxin has been producing decoding chips and also has patents and technology for video decoding cards, it has not produced many decoding cards. In the end, it even disclosed the patent, allowing Other small businesses come to produce.

On the one hand, it is to support and incubate some small businesses in electronic products, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid risks.

Of course, since Su Yuanshan knew that win95 was going to kill the decoder card, he would not let the promising electronic product companies in the special zone that he had finally supported go bankrupt because of a press conference. Therefore, starting last year, Yuanxin's VCD department has consciously tightened its delivery channels in order to protect those downstream companies in a nanny-like manner.

Yes, not every company has such "luck" and good information as Yuanxin. It's as if when win3.2 came out, all Hanka manufacturers were almost wiped out - even those "big" IT companies didn't have such a sensitive sense of smell.

"But this requires central processing unit support. Fortunately, our partners have come to the scene."

Gates said, looking at the center of the front row.

Everyone's eyes also focused there.

Carly from Star Ocean and Andy Grove from Intel.

Su Yuanshan looked at Mr. Gates with interest. He wanted to know how Mr. Gates would introduce these two "partners" who were "like fire and water".

And will Mr. Andy Grove choose to take this opportunity to launch his latest processor?

You know, at the beginning, the two parties had the idea to jointly release it.
