Chapter 437: IBM processor

As the power was turned on, the fan inside the case began to hear a "humming" sound.

"almost…"

The screen lit up, and then the words "IBM" appeared on the screen.

After waiting for a while, the three letters "IBM" disappeared from above, and immediately afterwards, the command symbol appeared.

Little Watson was very satisfied, and IBM finally produced its own microcomputer chip.

"Our chip speed can reach up to 6MHZ, which is much higher than the current 8-bit CPU. Even the ARK Group does not have such a product on the market." The technician next to it seemed very confident.

"But it's only on the market..." Little Watson could see more clearly than the opponent.

This CPU is an 8-bit CPU, and the unique architecture is also independently developed by IBM. From some content, some things even borrow the creativity of the maverick Japanese.

"Although the performance is good, this kind of thing can't be compared to the Z80..." Little Watson shook his head.

If you want to surpass Z80 completely, it won't work in two or three years, but at that time, what if you surpass them?

Z80 has the highest compatibility on the market, and most software and applications support Z80. More importantly, because of the support of the Pentagon, the Z80 has developed a better quality military version. After the military version is available, the vest becomes an industrial version. The industrial control version of the Z80 has now become the core of various CNC airports. Because of the industrial control version of the Z80, the CNC airport industry has ushered in the best opportunity for development, and the updated CNC airport can improve compared to ordinary machine tools. effectiveness. Therefore, in the eyes of many capitalists, Z80 is an excellent product.

But this CPU independently developed by IBM is different now. Because of copyright issues, this CPU uses a completely different architecture from Z80, and IBM does not want to compromise with them.

And the Z80 has an advantage that IBM can't match-it's not expensive.

The industrial version of the Z80 is only priced at US$20,000. Originally, according to IBM's idea, if you didn't buy such a thing for $100,000, it would be a loss, but Intel's willingness to make such a profit is really unimaginable.

But after a long time, Watson Jr. discovered what kind of attention Intel was paying.

—They sell software.

Use the low cost from Taiwan to open the market, and then popularize the platform to the extent that even ordinary people can accept it, and then subdivide the market.

Now the latest version of the e component is priced at $2,000, which is the price of the regular version and can only be used by one machine. The price of the commercial version of e is as high as US$32,000, which can be used for fifty machines in the group network.

This strategy was very successful, and it was unimaginable.

Now, many companies have begun to use such computers as their own office supplies, and then purchased the commercial version of e and some other software to use.

If the price of the machine was very high at the beginning, many companies would probably be discouraged. Moreover, Catherine used another strategy. The price of computers that have been pushed down makes many companies feel that the price is really not expensive.

Sometimes, people do not buy something because of a need, but because they have purchased a certain product, there is a demand.

This is like when there is no computer, no one will have the need to use a computer for office work, but only after the computer is born, a series of actions to understand this mode of behavior are available.

Obviously the other party bought the product, and then let the other party realize that he has an urgent need for it.

Once this demand arises, it will not disappear.

Therefore, after cheating high-priced software appears, people who have already generated demand will start buying these software...

Of course, Catherine's price is already very affordable. In the future, the price of a professional software will often be hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions. Such a price is absolutely cheating.

After the platform is popularized, more money can be made.

After all, there is not only the e software in this market, but also various other programs developed by Microsoft, as well as software developed by other companies, etc. The number is as high as thousands...no, maybe now It may have broken 10,000.

It is precisely because of the endless emergence of various software on the market that the current microcomputer market is flourishing.

Therefore, IBM has developed its own microprocessor and operating system.

But so far, there hasn't been any software that has emerged with this platform.

IBM itself does not develop software, and being able to write this entire operating system is already their greatest effort these days.

"But fortunately, we still have a killer..."

At this point, Watson Jr. still has confidence.

Intel is now complicating the instruction set, while IBM is doing the opposite of theirs-simplifying the instruction set. Simplified instruction set helps to improve work efficiency, which is definitely a killer feature for IBM.

Of course, IBM's products are still far from satisfactory.

According to Jr. Watson's idea, the company must at least develop a 16-bit CPU before it can have the power to fight Intel.

Moreover, various materials have shown that Intel already has a 16-bit CPU, so when IBM releases a new product, the other party may have already developed a 32-bit CPU. If that is the case, then it will be worth the loss. Therefore, Watson Jr. will not release this CPU easily unless they have verified that their products have sufficient advantages when facing Catherine’s Intel. Only then will they be able to occupy the microprocessor market...

"In fact, I think the most important thing for us now is to improve the technology. Intel has already led us too much in product technology. If we can catch up with product technology, all problems can be solved."

The technician finally said so.

"Um..." Watson nodded.

He suddenly felt a little tired.

Not physically, but psychologically.

Since he mastered IBM, he has tried his best to take IBM to a higher level. So far, everything has been successful. However, his heart is tired, and his career has reached a peak for so many years.

"Intel...At least we must beat you..." Watson said in the end.

IBM also has considerable business in Japan. This time if the federal government can let go of the devaluation of the U.S. dollar, he can also take the opportunity to continue to expand its business in Japan, occupying Japan as a large rear, and this is undoubtedly a counterattack to Intel for IBM. good idea.

Catherine just let the game console enter the Japanese market. The personal computer industry has almost nothing to do with the other party. At this point, IBM has the absolute initiative...

Old Homan looked at the report on the TV, and his mood was not as bad as Catherine's.

In fact, recently, the business volume of Angel Fashion Design Company in Japan has suddenly increased by 5, and the total shipment volume has also increased significantly. It can be said that these are all good news.

The only thing that surprised Homan was that the clothing this time was made of new materials that Homan was not optimistic about.

-That is the kind of material originally used on human skin.

This material is indeed very comfortable, and when worn on the body, it does feel very good.

But... there is a problem, that is, this kind of clothes must fit snugly, and it is easy to age.

In other words, if you don't have a very good figure, you won't be able to wear this dress, and even if you barely wear it, it won't look good. On the other hand, if you don’t wear this kind of clothes for half a year, you will be unable to wear them because of aging. It is a veritable luxury and consumable.

Of course, originally, this kind of clothes was not so popular, but since September, the sales of these clothes have started to increase, and the popularity of the angel clothing design company has also increased a lot.

Lisa applied the inspiration of adjusting her underwear to this new style of clothing. In this way, it doesn’t matter if you have a slightly out-of-shape figure, it doesn’t matter if you wear it, and it can also show the beauty. These elements are added together. , Is the secret of victory.

"If the forest system collapses, the dollar should depreciate a lot..." Homan was also analyzing.

Indeed, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar has been predicted by almost everyone. This strategy of the US federal government can be said to be terrible. Because of this, everyone is prepared and ready to make a fortune.

Homan also holds this idea. Of course, he does not intend to blend in with the financial market, but only waits for the depreciation of the dollar to increase exports.

Because the relative depreciation of the dollar can promote the prosperity of the export industry-of course, if the depreciation is too much, it is also a tragedy.

Old Homan was thinking about it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Next, let's switch to the scene of the scene."

At this moment, the TV station switched the screen to the scene of the press conference.

American President Johnson stood on the stage with solemn expression.

"It's going to start..."

Homan watched TV.

"Our federal government will maintain the international status of the U.S. dollar at all costs. The suspension of the exchange of U.S. dollars for gold is only a technical adjustment. The U.S. dollar will continue to be strong as always, and our federal government will use its own strength to explain everything. Our federal government will never compromise"

There is one more~houhou~houhou~ ask for votes~

In addition, we are really pure men, and it has nothing to do with rot or something....
