Chapter 240: Baby microprocessor is released

Since the early 1970s, the improvement of microprocessor performance has basically followed the famous Moore's Law in the IT industry. Every 18 months, the computing power of CPU doubles. Longteng Technology is at the 500-nanometer process level, while Intel is at the 350-nanometer process level. According to Moore's Law, it means that Longteng Technology's process level is 18 months behind Intel.

Longteng Technology's technology level is not as good as Intel, and can only be at the same level as Amd. Therefore, a transistor integrated on the chip of Longteng Technology is definitely not as good as Intel. The development of semiconductor technology level has a lot to do with the national and social industrial foundations and scientific accumulation. Although Zhang Bixuan is full of various design drawings, he is still powerless to make the industrial foundation of the entire society suddenly surpass the United States.

Think about it, in 1984, Japan was so proud that it was claiming that they were studying the fifth-generation computer, which was a computer with artificial intelligence! However, such a terrifying thing was not in line with the technological level of their country at that time, so even if the scientific and technological elites in Japan were concentrated, they still failed. However, although it failed, the results left over from the entire plan were rich, which led to a large number of leading technologies in Japan in the precision electronics industry and cultivated a large number of scientific and technological talents, which benefited major Japanese companies participating in the research on the fifth-generation computer for decades.

From the mid-1980s to the present, traditional risc chips have suddenly become popular, of course, which refers to being popular in the high-end. Personal computers are still mainstream with Intel's x86 architecture chips.

Although Intel claims to be a cisc chip, it has also begun to absorb the concept of risc chip design, and many engineers also advocate streamlining design.

After a few days of hard work, Zhang Bixuan successfully recorded the chip design in his mind systematically. And, with the help of some engineers, he produced several Longteng Baby 1 processor chips.

Afterwards, various instruments were used to detect the actual performance of CPU.

It is nothing surprising to say that the "Baby 1" processor designed by Zhang Bixuan is also a microprocessor that uses the x86 architecture, which is compatible with Intel's various standards. Like Intel, it absorbs the advantages of risc streamlining instruction set operations based on cisc complex instruction set operations. Moreover, although the chip designed by Zhang Bixuan is in line with the x86 architecture, it is actually more efficient than chips designed with the most traditional risc concept!

"Baby 1 instruction set architecture is x86. Considering the compatibility issue, many excellent chips are incompatible with other hardware and software, which failed in the market. The micro architecture is the original baby 1. The main frequency is 150mhz and the front-end bus speed is 60mhz. This CPU is completely faster in floating point computing than Pentium mmx. The baby multimedia instruction set can improve the multimedia performance of the computer more than the mmx instruction set. The most admirable is that this CPU can be manufactured with a 0.5 micron process level. The performance is better than Intel's 0.35 micron process level chip. Most of all, this is perfect, it is simply a masterpiece of God!" Craig Berritt exclaimed.

"Is it so good?" Zhang Bixuan suddenly noticed that his expression was a little sad, so he asked, "Craig, then why do you look a little wrong?"

Zhang Bixuan actually wants to say that some of the instruction sets used by this Baby 1 microprocessor are more significant in improving 3D performance, but the limitations of other computer hardware are now. Most computers cannot play more refined 3D games, and the 3D games in the market are basically very rough. When will more refined 3D games become popular, especially the emergence of 3D online games, then the Baby series CPU will definitely be the most popular chip in the microprocessor market for gamers. In fact, among ordinary people, the most picky about computer performance requirements and the most active upgrade of computer hardware is still the gamers!

An engineer interrupted, "Boss, this is the case. President Craig also spent a lot of energy on designing a 586 chip not long ago, and it was about to be completed. He saw that your design plan was so excellent. He felt that the design that had been in vain for more than a year was in vain, so he felt a little frustrated!"

"It's okay, but I found that all my energy was spent on the field of IC design, but my achievements in integrated circuits were not as good as your boss. I feel that the gap between genius and mortals can't be made up by hard work!" Craig said.

In fact, Craig Berett himself is a genius chip designer. When he was at Intel, many engineers admired his solid technology. Many important projects were completed with the participation of Craig Berett. From the perspective of a scientific worker, he completed many technical papers on the impact of microstructure on material properties and wrote a book called "Principles of Engineering Materials". It can be said that he has the same superb theoretical knowledge and practical design hands-on ability.

However, ordinary engineers are powerful, they are also human brains. Whether it is the wisdom of a flash of inspiration or the so-called collective wisdom, it is impossible to compare with the ultimate computer experts like Baby. Because, with the help of Zhang Bixuan's brain, Baby's floating-point computing power has reached the level of 1,000 Blue Titan Supercomputers. You should know that Blue Titan was the peak work of ibm in 2010 before Zhang Bixuan's rebirth, with floating-point computing power reaching 5000 trillion times per second!

In February 1994, Longteng Technology Company held a new product launch conference, inviting famous domestic and foreign manufacturers and media reporters to showcase Longteng's new generation of microprocessors.

"Mr. Zhang Bixuan, the boss of this processor, calls it a baby. In fact, this small chip is indeed as cute as a little angel. Not only because it looks cute, but also because it is a high-performance little guy! This chip is not only better than the various 586 chips in the market, but also has a comprehensive performance that surpasses Intel Pentium, whether it is floating point computing or the improvement of multimedia performance!" Craig Berrit, president of Longteng Technology, introduced to people, "In the market, it is the best-performance chip, and our price will be half cheaper than pentium mmx. The factory price is only 500 US dollars per piece!"
