Chapter 215 The second generation of Athlon

Since 1994, China and the international Internet have fully functional network connections, China's Internet development has entered its peak period.

So far in 1996, there were more than 200,000 Internet users nationwide, but more than 90% of these 200,000 people were staffed by major universities and research institutions.

And in civil use, it is staggering.

In 1995, Zhang Shuxin established Yinghaiwei, the first national Internet service provider, to provide basic content and email services.

This unique talent has been persisted for two years.

It was not until June 1997 that Ding Lei founded Sohu.com. By the second year, the Internet experienced a blowout development, and Sohu, Tencent, and Sina were established one after another...

How could Huaxin Technology miss this Internet wave? In fact, Wang Anran was prepared for it.

First of all, on the hardware, the planned 180-nanometer manufacturing process processor is prepared for high-performance servers.

Unlike desktop processors, the instruction set of the server processor adopts a streamlined instruction structure that is biased towards data processing and is optimized on the I/O interface to meet the application needs of high bandwidth and high redundancy error correction.

In Huaxin Technology's plan, DDR second-generation memory with ECC error correction function is put on the agenda. The 333m ddr2 memory can meet the bus data exchange requirements of the same bandwidth. The dual-channel design can even meet the bus bandwidth of 666mhz, leaving margin for future performance improvement.

"Mr. Wang, isn't it a bit radical? We haven't fully explored the potential of ddr memory. Now, developing ddr2 memory. In addition to the huge development costs, after simulation, the performance of ddr2 generation memory with the same bandwidth is about 13% lower than ddr memory."

"What about capacity, core frequency, and data throughput?"

ddr2 and ddr memory, when the data is processed at one time is twice that of ddr memory and the core frequency is the same, the bandwidth of ddr2 is theoretically twice that of ddr.

In other words, the core frequency of ddr2 400 and ddr200 is the same. The core frequency of ddr2 200 is only half that of ddr.

This brings a significant benefit that, under the same bandwidth and manufacturing process, the core frequency of the ddr2 generation memory is lower, the voltage required to be applied and the power consumption is lower.

"Professor Liu, the ddr2 generation memory is specially used on small computer servers, and will also be used on high-end graphics cards, and in the future it will be used on PCs. We also need to set up a banner to guide the direction for the future!

So, it’s worth the investment now.”

You should know that the rambus memory standards from Intel are raging on high-end PC models, and Huaxin Technology's DDR memory accounts for half of the low-end PC and graphics card business with its open technical standards and low prices.

Wang Anran was very satisfied with this situation a year ago. Under the siege of the old giant Intel, it seems that DDR can have its own base.

And now, of course, it's time to attack.

Wang Anran's confidence lies in the success of the TV streaming of the second-generation Athron processor.

The first batch of 180 pieces of flow sheets were successfully arrived at Yanjing Airport by FBGA packaging and air transport.

Xiao Kang, the leader of the test team, was in a good mood. The first batch of ten chips were tested, and the highest was 533mhz, which was already catching up with similar products from Intel and Texas Instruments.

This is just the beginning. The frequency of the die-blocker test is only one of the most basic tests, from which you can simply judge the physical condition of the chip.
