I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 229: Domestic graphics cards, CPUs, and large AI models—it's time to upgrade their performance for foreigners.

Sihai Group, Sihai Electronics, and Sihai Intelligent released announcements through their Weibo, Douyin, and Hongshu accounts, stating that they will be live-streaming the launch of new products tonight at 8 PM, and also tagged several brand ambassadors.

Graphics card spokespeople Zhu Yunlong and Yang Min, CPU spokespeople Zhang Yuanying and Dilraba Dilmurat, and Pangu AI large model spokespeople Zhou Xingxing also forwarded the announcement and announced that they would be guests in the live broadcast room tonight.

In order to attract more viewers, Yang Chen forwarded the announcement using his personal account and ordered the three major platforms to push the announcement to users aged 20-40.

Because graphics cards, CPUs, and large AI models are generally of more interest to people in this age group, it's possible to accurately target the customer base.

With such a grand display, although it's still unknown what product Sihai Group will release this time, netizens' appetites have been whetted, and the much-needed buzz of this era has been successfully generated.

At 8 PM, the press conference was simultaneously broadcast live on three Douyin accounts: Sihai Group, Sihai Electronics, and Sihai Intelligent.

The live-streamed product launch was hosted by Chen Xi, with Zhou Xingxing, Zhu Yunlong, Yang Min, Zhang Yuanying, and Pang Di serving as product ambassadors to introduce the product to the audience and share their experiences using it.

Chen Xi gave a brief warm-up, and the number of viewers in all three live stream rooms exceeded one million.

At this time, the platform was still pushing streams to the three live streaming rooms, guiding more viewers to watch the live stream.

The live stream chat room of Sihai Group.

"What high-tech product is Mr. Yang going to release this time? With such a grand scale, even Stephen Chow was invited. The product must be amazing."

"It was so wise of them to join Mr. Yang's entertainment company. Mr. Yang really provides them with resources. They're either working with famous directors and big-name movie stars, or they're constantly getting endorsements for various products. Since Stephen Chow started making movies with Mr. Yang, each one has been a box office hit. He really made the right choice in choosing a partner."

"Sihai Electronics and Sihai Intelligent are also doing a live stream, which means the products to be released this time are made by these two subsidiaries. Could it be a mobile phone, a computer, or a robot?"

……

In the live stream, many netizens were guessing what products would be released this time, but no one guessed that it would be a graphics card, CPU, or a large AI model. No one even dared to think in those directions.

Soon, the number of viewers in all three live streaming rooms exceeded 300 million, with the Sihai Group live streaming room, which was the main focus of traffic generation, even surpassing 800 million viewers.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Let's cut to the chase. First, please let our four guests introduce themselves tonight. Please!"

As the biggest guest, Zhou Xingxing started by saying, "Hello, viewers in the live broadcast room, good evening everyone. I am director Zhou Xingxing. Tonight, as the recommender of Pangu AI, the AI ​​model launched by Sihai Intelligent, I will introduce Pangu AI to you and share my personal experience of using it."

Yang Min followed up, saying, "Hello everyone, good evening. I'm actress Yang Min. Tonight, I'm here as the graphics card recommender for Sihai Electronics to introduce Sihai graphics cards to you."

Zhang Yuanying said, "Good evening, everyone. I am Zhang Yuanying. Tonight, as the CPU recommender for Sihai Electronics, I will introduce the power of Sihai CPUs and share my experience using them."

Zhu Yunlong and Pang Di also introduced themselves as graphics card and CPU recommendation officers.

At this moment, the comments in the three live stream rooms were scrolling rapidly.

"Huh? Graphics card, CPU, AI? I knew that with such a big production, the new product must be amazing, but I really didn't expect it to be this amazing. Domestic graphics cards and CPUs are really coming!"

"I thought it was a mobile phone, a computer, or a robot, but I didn't expect it to be a graphics card, a CPU, and AI. I have to say, Mr. Yang is really amazing. He works hard to develop whatever the country lacks."

"No way? How can Boss Yang develop everything? Is he like the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel?"

"Don't get too excited, everyone. Domestic graphics cards and CPUs have been around for a long time, it's just that people don't know it. Why don't they know? Because they're really terrible. This field is still the exclusive domain of foreign companies. Domestic products just can't do it. We started too late and are far behind. As for AI, don't even bother looking forward to it. ChatGTP-4 is so powerful that it can easily beat domestic AI models."

……

Chen Xi said with a smile, "Let's start by talking about Pangu AI. Director Zhou, could you explain to everyone what Pangu AI actually is?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded and replied, "Pangu AI is a large-scale AI intelligent thinking model developed by Chairman Yang's team. Based on my experience, I think Pangu AI is more powerful than all similar products that have been launched, and even more powerful than the globally acclaimed ChatGTP4!"

This statement immediately drew skepticism from viewers watching the live stream.

"Impossible! In the field of AI, we still have to look to foreign companies. The requirements for chips are too high. It is impossible for China to develop an AI that is more powerful than chatGPT4."

"I'm dying of laughter. Even Stephen Chow is starting to brag. Looks like Mr. Yang gave a lot this time. Are there any decent AI products in China? They can't even understand the local language. They're just garbage products to fool investors."

"I believe Mr. Yang has developed a large AI language model. But I don't believe that the AI ​​he developed is more powerful than chatGPT4. Although I am a fan of Mr. Yang, we still need to be realistic."

"Some people, stop pretending. If you're a Western fan, then be a Western fan. What's with the claim that you're a fan of Mr. Yang? If you were truly a fan of Mr. Yang, you wouldn't be spouting nonsense like his products can't be better than foreign products. He can make them, but aren't there plenty of products that foreigners can't make? I believe that with Mr. Yang's status and Stephen Chow's position, if Pangu AI wasn't stronger than chatGPT4, they would never promote it like this."

……

Zhou Xingxing continued, "I consulted Chairman Yang about the advantages of Pangu AI, why it's more powerful than chatGPT4. Chairman Yang gave me an example. Pangu AI's strength lies in its algorithmic innovation. For instance, if we want to find the Sihai Chengzhai residential area in Jiangcheng City, chatGPT4's algorithm finds Jiangcheng City from over 600 cities in China, and then finds Sihai Chengzhai from over 2000 residential areas in Jiangcheng City, which is equivalent to more than 2600 calculations. But Pangu AI's algorithm finds it from all 34 provinces in China..." Leaving Binjiang Province, the algorithm then identifies Jiangcheng City from its 11 cities, Xicheng District from its 5 districts and 2 counties, and finally Sihai City from its 120+ residential areas. This equates to only about 170 calculations. Pangu AI's step-by-step algorithm is fast, accurate, and doesn't require high computing power; domestically produced 28nm chips suffice, eliminating the need for high-end chips. Chairman Yang also stated that training Pangu AI once costs 200 million Eagle Coins, while training ChatGPT4 once costs over 1200 million Eagle Coins.

At this moment, the comments section opened.

"Huh? That powerful? I don't understand technology. Can someone who does explain the chatGPT4 algorithm? Is it really an algorithm that's like finding a needle in a haystack?"

"The algorithm of chatGPT4 is pretty much the same. The cost of training it once is indeed 1200 million Eagle Coins, and the operating cost last year was 40 billion Eagle Coins. It's not an ordinary money-burning operation. If the algorithm of Pangu AI is really that accurate and fast, then its advantages are indeed too great."

"Mr. Yang is a genius! How did he come up with this step-by-step calculation method? It really reduces the amount of computation, and ordinary chips can handle it. Haha... Then Nvidia and those chip manufacturers are doomed. Their demand for high-end chips will be greatly reduced, and they won't be able to support the company's stock price."

……

Chen Xi said with a smile, "After hearing what Director Zhou said, I'm quite curious. Director Zhou, could you demonstrate how to use it for us?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded, and the staff handed him two mobile phones, one with chatGPT4 open and the other with Pangu AI open.

Stephen Chow entered "Help me find Sihai City Walled Village in Jiangcheng" in both products and then clicked search at the same time.

Just as Zhou Xingxing had just said, Pangu AI accurately located Sihai City Walled Village in Jiangcheng City using a step-by-step approach in the fastest and simplest way.

Next, Stephen Chow inputted "I want a script outline about kung fu" into both products, and Pangu AI still gave a better answer.

Chen Xi said with a smile, "Wow, Pangu AI is truly powerful to the naked eye. However, it might be unfair for us to demonstrate it here. We'd like to let our users judge the product for themselves. I just received a notification from Chairman Yang, who wants Director Zhou to announce the official launch of Pangu AI. We will push the download link directly in the live stream, and it will also be available in mobile and computer app stores simultaneously. We look forward to receiving the most authentic user feedback."

Stephen Chow smiled and nodded, then shouted, "Three, two, one! Pangu AI, go live!"

A download link immediately popped up in the live stream room, and viewers, whether they believed it or not, quickly clicked to download and experience it.

Soon, the first wave of user experience results were released.

Live broadcast room barrage.

"Holy crap, it's really powerful. I'm also using chatGPT4, and the Pangu AI is definitely better in comparison."

"If Mr. Yang's product succeeds, it will have at least 5000 million users, which is worth hundreds of billions of Eagle Coins."

"Boss Yang is a genius, he can do everything. I suggest we arrest him, dissect him, and study him. I suspect he's not from Earth. Or we should arrest him and torture him to force him to hand over the system. I really can't accept that he's just an ordinary Earthling like me, since he can create such a brilliant product. Otherwise, I'd look like a complete waste."

……

With the promotional campaign for Pangu AI over, it's time to talk about graphics cards and CPUs.

Chen Xi asked with a smile, "Zhu Yunlong, Yang Min, what's the deal with the graphics card you two brought us today? Could you please tell us about it?"

Yang Min said with a smile, "Sihai Electronics is releasing two graphics cards at the same time, the SHXK01 and the SHXKX01. The SHXK01 is a high-end graphics card, more powerful than the NVIDIA RTX 5090. The SHXKX01 is a mid-to-low-end graphics card, slightly more powerful than the NVIDIA RTX 5080. I have test data comparisons of the four graphics cards here, you can take a look."

Live broadcast room barrage.

"Huh? The 5090 is Nvidia's newest and most powerful graphics card. Mr. Yang is making a graphics card that's even more powerful than this right off the bat? To be honest, it's only because he's Mr. Yang. If it were any other boss, I would think he's just bragging."

"No way, lady, you're classifying the 5080 as a mid-to-low-end graphics card? I just spent over 7000 yuan on it, and you're saying it's considered mid-to-low-end here? Are you kidding me?!"

"Are you sure you're not bragging? I don't understand the technology behind the Pangu AI, so I'll just go with whatever you say. But I really do understand graphics cards. Even if I don't, I can tell the quality just by running a game on a computer. This isn't false advertising."

Zhu Yunlong said, "I don't think this kind of data comparison is convincing enough. What if people say we're faking it?"

"Haha... Zhu Yunlong makes a good point. So how can we prove that we haven't made any false claims?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

Zhu Yunlong replied with a smile, "That's simple. We'll have our engineers assemble a computer on-site using these four graphics cards, and then run a game to see if our data is real or fake."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Zhu Yunlong's suggestion is good. Come on, let's ask the engineers to bring up all the parts, assemble them in front of the camera, and then break the game to show everyone the effect."

The engineers immediately brought the parts and assembled four computers. Except for the graphics cards, all other configurations were the same, including the monitors.

Four computers were simultaneously running Cyberpunk 2077, allowing viewers in the live stream to compare the differences in image quality presented by the four graphics cards.

SHXK01能在4k分辨率、全光追、最大化画质设置的情况下相比5090以两倍帧率游玩这款游戏，即使不懂技术数据，光是从画质上就能看出来SHXK01比英伟达5090的表现更好。

The SHXKX01's performance is almost on par with the NVIDIA 5090, and about twice as fast as the NVIDIA 5080.

Live broadcast room barrage.

"Holy crap, your mid-to-low-end graphics card is performing almost exactly like the Nvidia 5090! How can this be considered low-end? So, it's only mid-to-low-end because its performance is inferior to your other model?"

"Nvidia's sky is falling. Pangu AI has directly reduced the demand for high-end chips. Now, Mr. Yang's high-end graphics cards are crushing their most advanced graphics cards, and his low-end graphics cards are almost on par with their most advanced graphics cards. How can Nvidia compete?"

"Although seeing is believing, I still can't believe it's real. I have to buy it and verify it myself to confirm its authenticity. The main reason is that Mr. Yang's two graphics cards are so powerful it's unbelievable. Now I want to know what the price is? According to Mr. Yang's usual practice, it should be at least half the price of the competitors, right?"

……

Chen Xi said with a smile, "Next, it's Dili and Yuan Ying's turn to introduce the products you endorse."

Dili smiled and said, "Okay, next we're going to introduce another product manufactured by Sihai Electronics, the domestically produced CPU that the whole nation has been looking forward to. Here it comes!"

Zhang Yuanying's Longguo dialect wasn't very fluent yet, but everyone could understand it.

Zhang Yuanying said with a smile, "Sihai Electronics' Chenxin series CPUs are directly comparable to Intel's Core Ultra series, but the performance of Chenxin CPUs will definitely be better, just like the graphics card we just mentioned. The reason we use other brands for comparison is to let everyone immediately understand the performance and market position of our products."

Dili continued, "That's right! The Chenxin 5 is comparable to the Core Ultra 5, the Chenxin 7 to the Core Ultra 7, and the Chenxin 9 to the Core Ultra 9. If we just show the test data, some people will still suspect that we're faking it. So, assembling and testing it in front of the camera will be more convincing."

Chen Xi smiled and nodded, saying, "Di Li is right. Come on, let's have the engineer assemble the computer again and test it out for everyone."

工程师上场组装6台电脑，除了CPU用了辰芯5/7/9和酷睿ultra5/7/9，其他所有配置都一样。

Unsurprisingly, the benchmark scores and other performance of the three-tier CPUs from Chenxin are stronger than their counterparts, Core Ultra 9. The biggest advantage of Chenxin 9 is that it is made using a 3nm process, while Core Ultra 9 is only made using a 7nm process. The two can be said to be products of different eras.

If it weren't for the purpose of helping everyone understand the approximate level of the Chenxin series CPUs, the Core Ultra wouldn't even be worthy of being compared to Chenxin CPUs of the same caliber.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Everyone has seen it, right? Our graphics cards and CPUs are more powerful than other brands we're competing with. This is Chairman Yang's consistent principle: either we don't do it, or we do it completely independently developed and more powerful than similar products. Viewers who know Chairman Yang know that he has another characteristic in his work: he wants humanity to enjoy the benefits of technological progress. Although our products have higher technological levels and better performance, our prices are very low. Let's talk about the graphics cards first. Please let our two spokespeople introduce the prices of the graphics cards to everyone."

杨敏立刻拿着SHXK01说道：“这款定位高端显卡的SHXK01对标的是英伟达5090，英伟达5090价格国内售价是1.5万龙币，而SHXK01的售价仅仅只有4999龙币。”

朱云龙拿着SHXKX01说道：“这款定位中低端显卡的SHXKX01对标的是英伟达5080，英伟达5080售价是7300龙币，而SHXKX01的售价仅为2588龙币。”

Chen Xi continued, "Wow, it has more powerful performance, higher technological content, and a more advanced technological level, yet the price is only a little over a third of Nvidia's. Chairman Yang is really showing his sincerity. Now I'm looking forward to the price of the CPU. Please, our two spokespeople, announce it to us."

狄丽立刻说道：“我左手拿着的是辰芯9，对标的是英特尔酷睿ultra9，英特尔酷睿ultra9的售价是5800龙币，而辰芯9的售价仅为1599龙币。我右手拿着的是辰芯7，对标的是英特尔酷睿ultra7，英特尔酷睿ultra7的售价是3999龙币，而辰芯7的售价仅为999龙币。”

张圆婴紧接着说道：“我手里拿的是辰芯5，对标的是英特尔酷睿ultra5，英特尔酷睿ultra5的售价是2399龙币，而辰芯5的售价仅为899龙币。”

After hearing the price, the tech geeks in the live stream couldn't sit still any longer.

Barrage.

"Holy crap! Boss Yang is working on something big again! Domestic graphics cards and CPUs are finally here! If the test data is accurate, Sihai's graphics cards and CPUs are slightly more powerful than Nvidia's graphics cards and Intel's CPUs, but the price is only 30% of the original price. Who will still use Nvidia's graphics cards and Intel's CPUs in the future?"

"Holy crap! I just bought an NVIDIA 5090 for 15,000 yuan, and now Mr. Yang has released a comparable version with even better performance for only 4999 yuan! I've been ripped off like this!"

"Mr. Yang is truly a force to be reckoned with in the industry. He's driven down the prices of graphics cards and CPUs in one fell swoop, and he's shown us how much money Nvidia and Intel have made off us. Damn it, they're making a killing. Mr. Yang is only selling at a third of their price and he still makes a profit. You can only imagine how much they're making."

"Is he bragging? How could Mr. Yang possibly know everything? Can the performance really rival the most advanced products from Nvidia and Intel? I'm skeptical. You can't trust anything shown in a live stream. Where can I buy it? I'll go buy some and test it to see if Mr. Yang is making false claims."

……

Chen Xi smiled and said, "The product introduction is finished, but I believe many friends still won't believe our products are really that good. However, we've always believed that true gold fears no fire, and we welcome everyone to buy them and test them. We dare to promise that if the test results differ significantly from our displayed results, you can simply apply for a refund, and the product will be given to everyone to use. If your test data is not significantly different from our data, please speak out for justice. You've contributed to the rise of domestic graphics cards and CPUs; it's time to end the era of foreign brands making exorbitant profits here! Now, please have our four spokespeople count down from three, and we will be making two graphics cards and three CPUs available for purchase by those who need them."

Zhu Yunlong, Yang Min, Di Li, and Zhang Yuanying shouted in unison, "Three, two, one! Put it on sale!"

Graphics cards and CPUs were immediately put on sale in the live stream, and tech enthusiasts, electronics bloggers, and industry peers all placed orders.

In just one hour, all 100,000 sets of the five products were sold out.

People who don't use computers or play games may not understand what it means for a graphics card that is more powerful than the Nvidia 5090 to only cost 4999. Those who play games often know very well how high the price-performance ratio is.

After the live stream ended, Yang Chen, along with several CEOs, came to greet Chen Xi and her group as they left the studio, carrying flowers.

"Everyone did a great job, thank you for your hard work. Come on, I've already arranged some late-night snacks, let's go eat together," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Everyone quickly accepted the flowers and happily followed Yang Chen to have a late-night snack.

At this time, it was the bald eagles' morning working hours.

Nvidia President Wang Wenxun received a call from Li Jianzhong, President of the Longguo Region.

"President Huang, something terrible has happened! Sihai Group has released graphics cards, CPUs, and large AI models. We're in big trouble!" Li Jianzhong said anxiously.

Huang Wenxun scoffed and said with a smile, "What kind of graphics cards and CPUs can he make? The AI ​​language model is already monopolized by chatGPT4, and no other similar products can stand out."

Li Jianzhong immediately replied, "No! They've launched two graphics cards. The high-end card is even more powerful than our 5090, but it only costs 4999 Dragon Coins, while ours sells for 15000 Dragon Coins. The mid-to-low-end card is slightly stronger than our 5080, and it only costs 2588 Dragon Coins, while ours costs over 7000. The CPU is stronger than Intel Core Ultra series, but that's not really relevant to us, so I won't go into details. Their Pangu AI is more powerful than ChatGPT, with a superior algorithm, so much so that this large model doesn't need a high-end chip; a dedicated 28nm chip from China is sufficient. Their training cost is only 200 million Eagle Coins, while ChatGPT4 costs 1200 million Eagle Coins to train. From now on, everyone will definitely prioritize using their Pangu AI. So, who will buy our high-end chips?"

Huang Wenxun immediately tensed up and asked, "Are you kidding me? Is he that powerful? Damn it, how could he create three such incredible things all at once!"

Li Jianzhong immediately replied, "I don't know! Besides, Yang Chen led the research and development of all three products. Can you believe it?"

Huang Wenxun: "..."

Just then, the secretary rushed in.

"Mr. Huang, something bad has happened! Our stock price has suddenly plummeted, and it's about to drop by 10%."

Huang Wenxun's eyes widened in shock. He immediately hung up the phone and opened his trading software to check Nvidia's stock price.

As expected, Nvidia's stock price has fallen from 142 Nvidia dollars at the opening to 129 Nvidia dollars now. It looks like it's about to drop by 10%. The selling pressure on the order book is too heavy. It will definitely not be able to stop at 10%. It should be heading towards a drop of 20%.

“Damn Yang Chen…” Huang Wenxun cursed angrily.

Huang Wenxun immediately called Li Jianzhong and angrily said, "Buy Yang Chen's graphics card right now and test it. If he's even slightly misleading, you'll pay me to tell everyone. And how do I download that Pangu AI thing? I want to see if it's as amazing as you say!"

Li Jianzhong quickly replied, "Okay, I'll send it to you right away. Or you can find a phone with the HarmonyOS system and search for and download it directly from the app store."

"Okay, I got it," Huang Wenxun said irritably.

Huang Wenxun hung up the phone and immediately found the Sihai Tri-fold mobile phone he had bought before to download Pangu AI and experience it.

At this time, the stock prices of a host of international giants related to graphics cards, CPUs, and chips, including Intel, AMD, Broadcom, TSMC, ASML, and Micron, all plummeted as if they had taken a laxative...
