In 1994, domestic enterprises were at a disadvantage when they confronted foreign companies, and often had unequal treaties when they cooperated. At this time, there was nothing we could do about it. The country urgently needed advanced foreign technology and management.

Even companies in Bay and Hong Kong Island are superior to Chinese companies. Of course, they are not all. There are also many Bay and Hong Kong companies that express friendship with China, but TSMC is obviously not.

Wanwan's Executive Yuan has shares in TSMC, and TSMC has more or less political colors.

SMIC is an example ten years later. After several lawsuits, SMIC almost went bankrupt. In the end, TSMC successfully acquired a stake in SMIC, which barely resolved the storm.

Wang Anran has experienced this era and has a personal experience. According to his understanding, Chinese people working at ibm basically have the experience of being second-class employees.

This is a price that has to be borne.

The same is true for the foundry contract between Huaxin Technology and TSMC. The disclaimer clauses in the contract are clearly written, and there is no guarantee of yield rate or chip quality.

The yield rate of chips requires the joint efforts of chip manufacturers and designers. This is a market practice. There is no clear contract, so just reject it.

What’s even more terrifying is the chip quality. If there are no bugs in the layout, there may also be production bugs in chips due to the process.

As for the possible responsibility issues, Ji Xiaoqing's recording may not play any role. Wang Anran is not clear about the laws of Wanwan. In the United States, many states do not accept the evidence obtained by illegal means.

Besides, TSMC can be said to be Liu Boxiong's personal behavior, and he was fired in the end.

To this end, Wang Anran arranged for Zhang Lei to send it to TSMC in the name of Huaxin Technology, requiring the design team to participate in the production of slitting.

But what made Wang Anran helpless was that before receiving a positive response, the news reported by the Hsinchu factory had been produced.

Wang Anran asked nervously: "How is the yield rate? How is the chip performance test?"

Ji Xiaoqing couldn't hide her excitement and said, "Mr. Wang, the yield rate is 73%. The packaging test is underway. It is currently shown that the core can operate stably at the frequency of 83mhz, and the video memory frequency is better. It can operate stably at 103mhz."

This is without cooling measures, and such results can be said to be excellent.

Wang Anran then felt relieved.

A chip can hold 146 GPU cores, and at a yield rate of 70%, it will get nearly 100 full-line cores.

These cores will be tested and can be detected with stable and high frequency operation, used for flagship graphics cards, and sold for a good price.

Most of the stable operation can be used for popular graphics cards with large shipments.

These defective products are not unavailable. Some of them can be blocked out after testing. After castration, they can also be used on entry-level graphics cards.

Three days later, the first batch of tested GPU slitters and video memory slitters left the factory. They were soldered on the PCB board of the graphics card in TSMC's laboratory, and the synchronized bios chip was written into the graphics card control program.

In the hotel, Wang Anran couldn't wait to insert the graphics card into the PCC card slot on a 586 computer.

When the computer is turned on and starts, the logo of the Hongmeng SSP system appears after a while.

"Discover new hardware, whether to search for drivers."

Wang Anran put the driver CD into the optical drive and clicked "Yes".

The system automatically boots the driver to install, and the driver installation is completed in a short while.

Next is to use environment testing.

After installing the test program, double-precision floating-point tests, 2 million calculations are completed per second. Due to the structure of the graphics card itself, floating-point calculations have too many advantages over CPUs, and it is easy to kill the Intel Pentium 586 processor in seconds.

In graphics processing, 480,000 triangles can be completed per second and color filling can be completed.

On the specific screen, the 800*600 resolution Counter-Strike scene can be stable at more than 30 frames. If the CPU's performance is not too bad, the graphics card will complete some floating-point operations instead of CPU, otherwise the GPU's performance will be better.

"Mr. Wang, what should I do next? Can mass production be carried out?"

Wang Anran looked at Ji Xiaoqing and smiled and said, "Don't worry, continue testing, test multiple scenarios, so that problems will be exposed early. Next, Huaxin Technology will set off a nuclear war in the IC world!"

…………

The game from 1994, from the current perspective, to describe it as a terrible sight, is not an exaggeration. The mysterious island with rough pictures can even ignite the game market around the world.

Now it seems that the extremely high-end text game Mud can actually absorb a large number of loyal fans.

People have very low expectations for pictures, and often a slightly higher picture quality than red and white machines can meet the public's requirements.

Now, those who are used to eating pickles and radishes will be served in the Qi Manhan banquet all at once, hoping that they will not hold on.

The wine is also afraid of the deep alley. Although it is the test stage of the flow test, there is still a need for publicity.

Wang Anran decided to hold a press conference nearby in Wanbei to invite mainstream media such as the Global, Times, and the New York Times, plus professional newspapers and magazines in the IT and IIC industry, board manufacturers, OpenGL Standards Committee, etc.

Of course, Intel and Microsoft are not behind.

As for the time, it is set a week later, the top floor of Wanbei Building.
Chapter completed!
