Reborn 80s

In the Internet industry in the United States, the ripples caused by Gene Corporation's announcement that its system is free and open source has also been transmitted to China.

Gene set up a R&D center in Beijing in May and aggressively recruited many computer system R&D personnel to participate in the research and development of the Gene system.

The first is the Chineseization work of gene.

The source code of the entire system is open to the R&D center in Beijing. Naturally, the localization work went very smoothly.

Being able to use a free computer system is undoubtedly a very good thing for domestic computer brands.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the gene system can delete and add the functions you need according to your own needs. For those functions that are not needed, you can directly delete them, which can greatly save computer resources.

Computer systems have many functions, but for most people, many functions are unavailable.

And these functions that no one can use occupy computer resources.

You know, today's computers have not overflowed in terms of hardware performance. The system occupies too many computer resources, which directly makes the already lacking hardware performance even worse.

Why do current computers need to be equipped with Hanka?

There are obviously software solutions for Chinese character input, such as d.

Just because the current computer hardware performance is not enough, if you use software solutions, it will cause the computer to freeze.

The emergence of the gene system has solved many problems.

The computers launched by Chenxing Computer are equipped with a simplified version of the gene system, which can do a lot of things.

It can be used normally for ordinary work and office use.

After all, at this time in China, computers equipped with the Tel80286 chip are still sold in large quantities on the market, and the price is as high as more than 20,000.

Of course, the chip in the Tel80286 chip computer currently sold on the market has naturally been re-optimized by Tel Company over the years and has become more powerful in terms of performance.

But no matter how you optimize it, the overall framework is there, and any tinkering within the framework will definitely be restricted by the framework.

Unless, say, a new framework is established.

If we build a new framework, wouldn’t it be a new generation of chips?

The Chenxing 1 computer launched by Chenxing Computer is very cheap, only 9999 yuan!

Once Chenxing 1 was launched, it shocked the entire computer market.

Computers can actually reduce the price to less than 10,000?

One of the important reasons why domestic computer prices are so high now is that China did not have the production capacity for computer hardware and software in the past.

As long as it is something that cannot be made domestically, the price has always been extremely high.

Once a domestic company makes it, the price will surge down like a floodgate.

Chen Huaiqing was surprised when Chenxing Computer launched the Chenxing 1 computer equipped with the Xuanwu 3 chip.

Isn’t this a good idea to learn computers?

However, Chen Huaiqing didn't say anything. He couldn't say anything because the sales of Chenxing 1 computer were quite good.

Successful people are not criticized!

Compared with the small way of learning machines, computers are obviously more advanced.

The launch of Chenxing 1 also brought the Xuanwu 3 chip to people's attention.

The Xuanwu 3 chip is really low in terms of price.

The market price is half lower than the Tel286 chip, and most importantly, its performance is much better than it.

When a product with low price and good quality appears on the market, the market will vote with its feet.

The shipment of Xuanwu 3 chips has increased significantly in the market, especially in the assembly machine market. Now many people are using Xuanwu 3 chips.

In addition, in terms of computer systems, now everyone prefers to use the gene system, because this system does not cost money and is free.

You only need to buy a system CD. A system CD only costs tens of dollars, but you can install it at will.

There are no restrictions at all.

In addition, there are several versions of this system, such as simplified version, pure version, complete version, etc.

There is just one trouble, that is, the gene system can currently adapt to relatively few hardware.

Of course, because the gene system is an open source system, technical experts can write their own drivers for hardware adaptation.

The gene company has built a gene open source technology exchange forum in Beijing. Many technical experts like to upload programs they have written on it.

It is undoubtedly very important for the improvement of the gene system and the improvement of the system ecology.

Nowadays, there is not much computer software.

The entire system ecology is not yet as complex as it will be in the future, so gene is taking the lead in developing in China at this time, which has a great possibility of changing the situation where D is the dominant company.

Furthermore, the development process of the d system does not mean that it has been smooth sailing. There have been many twists and turns.

There were even incidents where the ship almost capsized.

Therefore, the d system cannot be considered invincible just because it later occupied the absolute market share of global PC systems.

Even in D's heyday, other computer systems also occupied a certain market.

November in Beijing is already considered cold for Chen Huaiqing.

But it's warm inside and there's a heater!

Naturally, there is no central heating in the courtyard, but this is not a problem.

Are you worried about this when you have money?

Install a small boiler and install a radiator inside the house for heating.

In normal times, the small boiler is taken care of by the concierge, and the main thing is to add coal on time.

The entire north relies on coal for heating in winter, so the air quality in the north during this season can be imagined.

Of course, no one is paying attention to air quality issues at this time.

Eat well and wear warm clothes.

When you open the door and enter the house, you can feel the heat.

Chen Huaiqing took off his down jacket and changed into a coat. He instantly felt much more relaxed and comfortable.

In winter, I wear too thick clothes and my whole body is wrapped up, so I don’t even want to move.

Chen Huaiqing walked into the study, sat on the chair and began to read various reports.

The research and development work of Sixiang Technology’s new generation chip Xuanwu 4 is proceeding quite smoothly.

Now Sixiang Technology is on the right track in the field of chip design.

Compared with two thousand years ago, when chips had integrated tens of millions of transistors, today's chips are in the millions.

It may be that it is just in its infancy.

Everyone is in the starting stage, and the difference is just that you take two steps first, and I take two steps later.

The gap has not reached the level of trapping.

The Xuanwu 4 chip is naturally more powerful than the Xuanwu 3 chip. It is a 32-bit chip and will integrate 890,000 transistors. This will undoubtedly be a breakthrough progress.

Compared with Tel, which is gradually showing its dominance in PCs, the Xuanwu 4 chip is nothing, but from Xuanwu 3 to Xuanwu 4, the speed of progress of Sixiang Technology in chip technology is undoubtedly amazing.

Chen Huaiqing looked at the information about the Xuanwu 4 chip. He found that the Xuanwu 4 chip had already been taped out once and failed!

Now find the problems and make improvements.

Failure to tape out is normal and there is nothing surprising.
