Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

This game doesn't offer anything particularly groundbreaking in terms of gameplay; its strength lies in the excellent execution of certain details.

However, the way this random story involving passersby is presented is enough to change the quality of the entire game.

Kinclair tried to explain the principles of the key technologies in Assassin's Creed in the simplest way possible. However, he only had a superficial understanding of AI technology, and even now he didn't know that this technology was actually a branch of AI learning and training.

"As you players may have noticed, the fans on your computers or game consoles that run this game spin like crazy, almost constantly at full power. This is because the game is using the processor cores of the computer and game console to calculate every different state of the characters around the player. This behavior is quite random, but there is an upper limit. This upper limit is such that most players will not feel too much of a sense of incongruity, which is quite impressive."

"In other words, the better your configuration is to run this game, the more realistic the world around you will be. This is why some players don't encounter many random events and can easily complete the game, while others seem to have entered a real world with countless things to do."

"I don't know exactly what kind of technology this is yet. All I know is that the result of this crazy calculation is to make the game more realistic. So if you really want to experience the full content of this game, I would recommend that you upgrade your computer's configuration. And according to my speculation, Youxing Electronics Entertainment will probably launch a brand new home game console soon, a game console that is more suitable for this kind of new technology!"

This video, which is about twenty minutes long, details the technical aspects of Assassin's Creed Revelations.

However, since Yusei Electronics Entertainment has not disclosed more details about this technology, he could only explain it with a limited understanding.

Unless it's a top-tier company like Surui Electronics, with many senior engineers working together to disassemble the game program, it's indeed difficult to figure out how the game does all that in a short time.

However, explaining these points alone is sufficient.

It turned out to be new technology, which further elevated their perception of Youxing Electronic Entertainment to a new level.

At the same time, after the video went viral in about half a month, PC hardware manufacturers, whose sales had been stable, suddenly discovered a very surprising phenomenon.

That is, many people started to actively request higher configurations, preferably with more CPU cores and sufficient video memory.

According to the video uploader, Kinkley, his tests showed that Assassin's Creed Revelations consumes a lot of resources, and a multi-core, high-memory hardware configuration can maximize the quality of the game.

Chapter 941 Talk

Assassin's Creed Revelations inadvertently boosted sales of high-end processors worldwide.

This was something Zhu Youxing hadn't planned.

However, he wasn't particularly surprised when he learned about it.

AI computation is inherently very performance-intensive; it can sometimes consume the full performance of even the most powerful processors.

As long as you have ambition, no amount of performance will be enough.

Look at Benedict's AI lab; he has three of the world's most advanced enterprise-grade computers there.

Each one costs over a million US dollars to manufacture.

Furthermore, thanks to Zhu Youxing's subsequent investment, he has begun planning to spend another ten million US dollars to buy more enterprise-level computers and then perform parallel computing, allowing different enterprise-level computers to compute different modules.

By now, the semiconductor technology in this world has actually begun to surpass the level of the original world before Zhu Youxing's transmigration.

Before he transmigrated, the original world had just reached the stage of mass production of 3-nanometer processors, while this world was advancing towards 1 nanometer. Moreover, in this world, Moore's Law had not yet reached its limit, because some people had proposed several newer theories that supported the smooth development of the semiconductor industry for at least another twenty or thirty years.

Zhu Youxing was very happy that he could travel to this world.

Perhaps in my lifetime I will be able to see the most powerful computer ever built, capable of producing video games that are comparable to the real world.

Let's return to the topic of the surge in processor sales.

This is a very pleasant surprise for processor manufacturers.

This means they are making more money.

Moreover, those who buy now are doing so willingly.

The demand for high-end entertainment is endless.

At the same time, the business environment in this world is quite good. After experiencing several bubble crises, it is now in a period of prosperity. People have enough money in their pockets and are naturally more willing to spend money on their entertainment.

After their initial excitement, processor manufacturers wanted to investigate the root of the problem.

Why is there a sudden surge in people buying high-end processors?

Moreover, it's not just the high-end models; the new mid-range and low-end processors are also selling very well.

Because there was a group of people who originally planned to use a computer for three to five years, and then suddenly started playing Assassin's Creed Revelations and decided to upgrade their configurations.

If you don't want to upgrade to the top-of-the-line configuration all at once, at least upgrade to a configuration that can keep up with the times.

That way, you can at least greatly improve your experience.

And that's exactly what happened. These players bought the latest computers, and after re-experiencing Assassin's Creed Revelations, they discovered a whole new world.

This world felt so real to them, and every NPC character was very human-like.

They felt that even if they did nothing, just watching these random NPCs behave in the game world would be incredibly interesting.

The processor manufacturers quickly realized what was going on.

It turns out it's related to a video game.

They were also astonished that a game could bring such a huge increase in sales.

Following closely behind, Benedict's AI Lab officially announced its new AI computing technology.

They even went so far as to boast that Assassin's Creed Apocalypse used technology from their lab.

This immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially large corporations with substantial budgets.

Immediately after the Benedict AI Lab announced this, companies with strong ties to video games, such as Surrey Electronics, Mikeford, and Brown Entertainment, contacted the lab hoping to obtain information and knowledge about the technology.

The Benedict AI Lab is essentially a university laboratory, and most of its patents belong to the university.

However, due to the investment from Yuxing Electronics Entertainment and the research and development direction proposed by Yuxing, the patent for the video game AI training model belongs to Yuxing Electronics Entertainment.

Of course, this only refers to patents related to using AI computing technology to simulate the reactions of passersby/NPCs in video game worlds.

By the time these people discovered that Youxing Electronics Entertainment had quietly created such a big news story, it was already a bit too late.

Previously, when Yuxing Electronics Entertainment started promoting some AI-related technologies, they didn't pay much attention.

Or rather, they did care, and they did indeed send their subordinates to follow up on the AI ​​field. However, at the time, they couldn't imagine what the connection was between AI and video games. They just thought it might be another casual investment by Zhuyouxing.

But what I really didn't expect was that, in such an unintentional way, this guy, Zhu Youxing, actually connected AI and video games.

Surrey Electronics and Mikefu were the first to react.

They already possessed very strong technical expertise, and immediately announced the formation of their own experimental team to begin researching similar things.

Suri Electronics immediately showed Hayakawa the key points of Assassin's Creed Revelations, and Hayakawa almost immediately assembled a new team to follow up on this new technology.

Mikelfu was equally determined not to fall behind.

As for Brown Entertainment, they have always focused solely on video game development, and in this area, they have fallen behind. But money can solve many problems in this world, and as long as Brown Entertainment is willing to spend money, they can still produce something.

As for Zhuyouxing, sales of Assassin's Creed Revelations began to rise in the month following its release.

Any gamer who thinks they have a high-spec computer will want to buy an Assassin's Creed game to try it out.

Because there are more and more voices saying this: if you have a high-spec computer and are also a gamer, not playing Assassin's Creed Revelations is the biggest loss of your life.

Meanwhile, a group of unfamiliar faces also arrived at the headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Some of them have European or American features, while others have Asian features.

They also had similar attire, wearing sharp suits and carrying handbags.

Hello everyone, is there anything I can help you with?

The receptionist was somewhat taken aback when they saw these people come in.

Normally, the employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment dress casually, and the people who come to negotiate are also casual people, so they haven't seen so many formally dressed people in a long time.

Are they government officials?

"Hello, I'm from **Chip Company, and I'd like to speak with your president."

"I also……"

Chapter 942 is it.

While Assassin's Creed Revelations was a bestseller, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment also began manufacturing the latest generation of game console processors.

Currently, there are probably five top-tier processor manufacturers in the world.

Faced with an electronic product with an average lifespan of over five years and sales exceeding 100 million units, no processor manufacturer would refuse such a bidding opportunity.

Of course, this matter is still confidential to the public for the time being. Right now, all parties need to provide their processors, and then the engineering development department of Yuxing Electronics Entertainment will test them to find a processor that can meet the needs of Yuxing Electronics Entertainment's latest game console.

Oh right, this time we might not be able to simply look for an integrated CPU and GPU.

This time, Zhu Youxing has a new request.

That means requiring these companies to design a completely new AI computing processor chip.

AI computing has already taken shape in the world, and these companies do have related experimental products, but they have not yet been officially announced to the public and are only circulating within a small number of internal entities.

They originally thought that the AI ​​industry would only be popular in a small area in the short term and would not become a hot field immediately.

The field of artificial intelligence learning in this world is slightly behind that of the original world of Bamboo Travel Star. This is mainly because the skill points in this world have been allocated to other areas, allowing those areas to develop more rapidly.

However, after Zhuyouxing proposed this idea, they all actively provided their own products for Youxing Electronic Entertainment to test.

Securing the new AI computing chip order from Youxing Electronics Entertainment will be a significant step towards mass production.

Because they have already seen from Assassin's Creed Revelations the huge demand that video games will have for AI computing in the future.

In the vast world of video games, there is already a significant difference between scenes and stories with AI computation and those without.

Surrey Electronics and Mikefu are also making rapid progress, hoping to launch their own new AI computing technology in a short period of time, so that they can continue to get a share of the emerging video game market and not let Youstar Electronics Entertainment dominate the market.

The contacts for these processors came overnight from all over the world to personally discuss with the engineering development department of Yusei Electronics Entertainment and select the best one.

"Ms. Airi Hayazawa, our latest AI computing processor unit is very powerful. It is already in service on our company's servers and is receiving a huge amount of intelligent computing every day. I can guarantee that our product is the most stable."

Airi Hayazawa and several engineers were flipping through product brochures, which were lists of products from different processor manufacturers, detailing the performance of each product.

The group did not immediately express their opinions, but listened to the introductions while looking at the product descriptions.

“Ms. Hayazawa Airi, you can also take a look at our products first. We are willing to offer some discounts for this. If you are willing to purchase more than 30 million sets at once, we are willing to offer a 5% discount.”

"We also..."
