Chapter 186 Amazing knife
Lao Huang's stunning knife successfully attracted Wang Anran's attention.
Core frequency 300mhz, 32-bit data bus, agp4x interface, supports opengl3.03dapi, supports Huaxin Technology's godson graphics excuse, and is equipped with up to 32m and grambus200 video memory.
With the help of ibm's latest mass-produced 500-nanometer manufacturing process, Lao Huang was frantically integrated 16 processing units into the modeling pipeline and the rendering pipeline, and another co-processing unit was added to each pipeline.
The released test data has a performance of 70% surpassing Huaxin Technology's top Tearer 109 graphics card. You should know that Tearer 109 graphics card has two display chips integrated.
The performance of single-core has surpassed the double that of Huaxin Technology's top 107 display core.
As soon as nvdiatnt appeared, he swept the entire high-end graphics card market with an invincible attitude.
The price positioning shows that Lao Huang’s different knife skills are different.
From the lowest-end castrated version of the tnt1100 equipped with gddm video memory price of $99, to the highest-end price of $3990 dual-core tnt1900 graphics card, there are nine levels in total, and people at each income level will always have the choice you want.
In comparison, the backward manufacturing process has become a flaw of Huaxin Technology. Under the premise of congenital deficiencies, competing with Lao Huang to practice knife skills is a humiliation.
Wang Anran shook his head. He didn't expect that Nvidia, a dead salted fish, could turn over. You should know that the famous 3dfx has not survived and has now fallen into a state of bankruptcy.
Huaxin Technology is in an embarrassing situation now. The 800-nanometer manufacturing process currently produced by TSMC is already its limit. The 500-nanometer manufacturing process has not met the conditions for mass production at all.
If it is forcibly launched, the high cost will only make Huaxin Technology's products lose their market competitiveness, and will make TSMC useless, allowing it to improve its own processing technology.
You should know that the Taiwan Strait relations were not very good at this time. There were already many official figures from Wandao, either explicitly or implied, asking TSMC to interrupt the agreement to produce Huaxin Technology.
Perhaps it is because of the high liquidated damages, or because the semiconductor environment is not very good at this time, TSMC urgently needs its foundry business to maintain the operation of its foundry factory.
The OEM cooperation between the two companies has not been affected.
But the clouds are shrouded in the clouds.
In the view of industry insiders in the semiconductor industry, Huaxin Technology is facing a huge crisis, and its two core businesses are being crushed by competitors.
Performance is greatly surpassed.
The post by Gu Haoyu, a senior critic of Hong Kong Island Semiconductor, represents the voice of many people.
"Huaxin Technology's appearance is undoubtedly amazing, and the semiconductor industry pays more attention to the accumulation of technology. Huaxin Technology's foundation is undoubtedly insufficient.
When the international chip giant represented by Intel stabilized in the initial panic, the doomsday of Huaxin Technology came.
Facts will eventually prove that Huaxin Technology's appearance is just a flash in the pan and will eventually be destroyed in the long river of history..."
After Gu Haoyu posted the article, he took his newly-favored beautiful lady to Canada and lived a shy and impatient life.
In his opinion, Hong Kong Island, which is about to return, has no future, just like the mainland semiconductor industry.
Wang Anran threw the newspaper aside, and the inverted Chinese-Chengxin Technology in the newspaper made the old virgin feel very unhappy.
Rebs in front of him was also confused. He suddenly controlled such a large company and a star enterprise in the country. Rebs' pressure can be imagined.
Even if it was smooth sailing, Rebus dared not relax at all.
But now, as soon as I got on, Huaxin Technology is facing such a big crisis, and both of its major flagship products have encountered strong opponents.
It's okay on the CPU, the upgraded Athlon first-generation processor is entering pre-production preparations. The performance results of the slitting test show that compared with the Intel third-generation Pentium 586 processor, it even has a 7% performance advantage.
However, in terms of graphics cards, Huaxin Technology has been on the spot for a long time, and the improved 800-nanometer manufacturing process, the Grabner Generation Graphics Card cannot match Nvidatnt series graphics cards at all.
"Mr. Wang, the marketing department reported that our tear shows that the chip shipment volume plummeted. The board and card manufacturers were afraid that we would suddenly drop prices when stocking up, so they were always on the wait-and-see state. Most of the graphics cards sold on the market were in the previous inventory of major board and card manufacturers."
Wang Anran looked at Rebs and said, "What did you think about it?"
"Releasing the latest Athlon processor as soon as possible, sending a team to negotiate with Texas Instruments, and asking them to help us produce chips with a 500-nanometer manufacturing process, and at the same time, increase investment in subsequent product research and development."
Rebs felt unsure when he said this.
The reason made him very frustrated... Huaxin Technology has no money anymore.
Investments in chip production lines and SMIC in Zhang Dajing have exhausted all the foundation of Huaxin Technology. Not only that, there will be considerable investment in the future.
This is a bottomless pit.
And in terms of income, the data is ugly.
For two consecutive months, the sales of Huaxin Technology's CPU and graphics cards have fallen at a cliff-like speed.
Huaxin Technology sneezes, and Future Technology also caught a severe cold.
The sales of high-performance workstations and graphics data processing centers have also encountered halving, and the financial data is shocking.
The only one who is doing well may be Aihua Technology. After all, for most people who are obsessed with the price, the price of 5880 is also a good choice to get a computer that can play Counter-Strike.
But such data is far from enough for Wang Anyran.
After formulating the follow-up project of Bism mathematical model, Wang Anran had no choice but to return to Huaxin Technology Graphics Card Division to preside over the research and development of new products.
Originally, the second-generation Tearer graphics card was also based on the rendering architecture, but it had a richer experience on the 3dapi interface and was upgraded on the raster processing unit and the texture fitting unit.
Facts have proved that the development of the entire semiconductor industry has deviated from its original track.
Huaxin Technology's original toothpaste squeezing strategy is obviously going to a dead end. For Wang Anran, it will definitely be a more harsh fact that it will not use big moves now.
At the product demonstration meeting, Wang Anran rejected the development of the Tearer 200 series graphics cards.
Wang Anran's point of view is very clear.
"When the process is one or half of the generation behind, we must achieve the performance that is not inferior to our competitors. With the same process, I must achieve the perfect outperform of our competitors. The graphics cards of the Tearer 200 series obviously do not have such potential..."
Guo Huaisheng, director of the graphics card business department, has an objection to this, and no one wants his child who has worked hard for more than a year to die.
"Mr. Wang, how do you guarantee that the next generation of graphics cards can do what you said in terms of performance.
I think that the Tearer 200 series graphics cards can be used as an overuse. We can find the right OEM and compete with Nvidia on the next generation of graphics cards."
Wang Anran shook his head. For him, this was a matter of principle, so the attitude Wang Anran showed was very tough.
"Huaxin Technology either doesn't do it, we only become industry leaders..."
