Chapter 229: Work Hard, Graphics Card Internal Testing

Li Jianxi asked: "What does Mr. Zhao need?"

Zhao Guoqing shook his head and said: "I'm not talking to you, someone else is talking to you. President Li should know that advanced manufacturing processes are the basis of national competitiveness. Without the permission of the country, there is nothing I can do!"

"..."

That’s the truth!

After sending Li Jianxi away, Teacher Xiao Zhao immediately called Director Liu. In addition to reporting what had just happened to the General Staff, he also suggested: "Director Liu, I suggest that national legislation requires the approval of relevant departments for the transfer of advanced technology! "

Liu Qing smiled and said: "National Day, you are tying your own hands!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "The situation of Zhongxun Technology will become more and more complicated, so we must make plans in advance!"

Anyway, no matter what, Teacher Xiao Zhao from the R&D department must be directly responsible, and no one is allowed to interfere.

Director Liu said: "On National Day, Xinneng Technology has also broken through the 500 nanometer process, and the level of commercialization is relatively high. Last week, the joint inspection by the General Staff, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Industry has confirmed it!"

"That's a good thing!" Zhao Guoqing said.

In the field of network equipment, 101 has almost taken most of the global share, and its foreign exchange earnings are as stable as ever.

In addition, Core Energy is also responsible for the important task of military chips. The first semiconductor vector computer was also completed by Core Energy.

"This is all a good foundation laid by you!"

Zhao Guoqing was not modest and said with a smile: "There is also the hard work of comrades!"

Director Liu said: "In any case, you built Institute 101 from scratch. I won't talk about your contribution over the years. On National Day, there is one more thing that I will tell you in advance!"

"..."

Director Liu said it very carefully.

"I will retire next month. I am almost 70, and I must respond to the leadership's call to retire as soon as possible and let young people take on the responsibility!"

"..."

In 1992, the country became more determined to follow the path of reform and opening up, and Teacher Xiao Zhao did not have to worry about policy changes.

Director Liu was retiring. Zhao Guoqing invited Director Liu to visit Shenzhen City, and Director Liu agreed.

As for Natasha, she has been in Malaysia for more than half a year and looks like a capable professional woman.

"Mr. Zhao, if I come out with you, my country will be gone!"

At this point, Teacher Xiao Zhao was also very helpless. It was all Mao Xiong's fault.

"Do you want to go back?"

Natasha shook her head and said, "No, I have talked with my family on the phone. If I hadn't sent them money, they would have had trouble eating now..."

"..."

Zhao Guoqing said: "Natasha, I hope to go back and serve as the commercial manager of Zhongxun Company's Damao branch. Your boss is Manager Zhou Li. You know him. I need your abilities and connections to help Zhou Li open up Damao. Market, what do you think about this?"

"How's the income?"

Teacher Xiao Zhao finally knew that Natasha was most concerned about her income. As for where to work, it might not be her first consideration.

"According to the level of overseas business manager! However, the company must make a profit. If the sales target cannot be achieved, the only choice is..."

"I'm going back!"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said: "The ruble is too unstable. Sales revenue must be converted into physical goods. When you get to Moscow, you can just listen to Zhou Li's arrangements!"

Although Da Mao is now poor, he does not have nothing. Zhongxun has no way to intervene in petroleum and heavy industry enterprises. However, during the Mao Xiong era, he accumulated a large amount of materials and supplies, a large part of which was inherited by Da Mao.

Zhao Guoqing is thinking about buying some aviation aluminum, titanium alloys, special steels, etc., or maybe buying a few transport planes!

In April, Microsoft released the Windows 3.1 system. There were no changes to the operation panel, but it strengthened network functions, fixed n bugs that had been discovered, especially made great improvements to resource calls, and added support for OpenGL graphics. The interface is a major selling point. Unexpectedly, it quickly became popular all over the world as soon as it was released.

Eight million units were sold in half a month, earning billions of dollars.

As soon as the news was disclosed, investors began to frantically pursue Microsoft's stock, and Microsoft's market value soon exceeded US$32 billion.

Teacher Xiao Zhao called Liang Jin and gradually reduced his holdings of Microsoft shares, aiming to clear out the Microsoft shares within three months.

From 1992 to 1995, until the release of Windows 95, Microsoft had no strong support in the stock market.

The graphical Linux has also begun internal testing.

The 3D graphics computing card produced with Linux is a 3D graphics computing card produced by Zhongxun. It is based on a 500-nanometer manufacturing process, has an area of ​​112 square millimeters, and integrates a density of eight million transistors. The floating-point computing power exceeds one million orders of magnitude. In this case The indicator is thirty times more than the 486 processor.

Zhao Guoqing said to Linnard: "Leave the graphics GUI tasks to the graphics card and free the CPU from these tasks!"

Lynard was excited.

This is a genius idea.

With the addition of a graphics card, you can run a graphics Linux system smoothly without taking up CPU performance.

The role of the graphics card is not just that. What ordinary people are most interested in is that they can decode videos and play realistic color games.

Teacher Xiao Zhao is currently a manufacturer of graphics cards.

In terms of microcomputers, the leader is naturally IBM. While designing compatible computer specifications, they also designed a display chip for the motherboard. CGA display chips are the most widely used. As for performance, they can only display.

The second company is Intel, which also has an integrated display chip, but its performance is no different from IBM!

As for independent graphics cards used in microcomputers, ATI was already fully fledged. In 1987, ATI released the EGA Wonder and VGA Wonder family of graphics cards.

The functions of these graphics cards are much better than IBM's own display devices. ATI released an improved Wonder graphics card a year ago, which has better support for 2D graphics and is considered the best partner for Windows 3.0.

But I haven’t gotten into the 3D graphics card yet.

At this time, the one that was fiercely competing with ATI was Silicon System Technology Co., Ltd., which was established in Hsinchu Science Park in Bay Island in 1987. It also occupied a market in 2D display.

In addition to the above-mentioned companies, there is also an old graphics company established in 1976, Matron Technology.

In 1986, they released the world's first PC-based image processing MVP-AT accelerator. For more professional applications, such as video acquisition and CAD graphics modeling calculations, there is not much in the field of civilian graphics cards. Many achievements.

Teacher Xiao Zhao counted over and over again, but none of them could beat him.

Zhongxun's graphics card based on the 500nm process can kill them all instantly.

At the Zhongxun R&D Center, the R&D personnel installed the graphics card on a 486 computer, installed the Linux graphics system, and installed the driver and video decoder. After completion, the supervisor Sun Weiqiang said: "Mr. Zhao, you can start!"

This is a video with a resolution of 352*288, a video compressed by the H.261 digital video compression standard.

As Zhao Guoqing said something, a video was played smoothly on the fifteen-inch computer screen. This was a domestic cartoon, Calabash Brothers.

The sound and picture were displayed simultaneously without any lag. Everyone held their breath and watched until the end without any accidents.

"Mr. Zhao, the software detection tool shows that the graphics card's resource usage is only 67%."

The graphics system already takes up 30% of the resources, and decoding the video also uses 30% of the resources.

Zhao Guoqing said: "It seems that the graphics card still has some spare power!"

Sun Weiqiang nodded and said: "Mr. Zhao, next step is to test the Windows environment..."
