A few months ago, on the 15th of March.
Xing Hai Technologies released the first generation of the Green Dragon CPU based on the "Weaver Architecture."
It was codenamed Dragon-1000.
In CPU mode, its performance was roughly equivalent to Intel's i7-8700K, with a comprehensive test running score of about 140,000.
In GPU mode, its graphics performance was equivalent to Nvidia's GTX1060 graphics card, with a running score of about 140,000.
Its performance was sufficient for daily work, games, and entertainment.
The price of the individual chips was only $1,000.
Based on the Dragon-1000, the castrated version of the Black Tortoise First Generation (Tortoise 1000), which was used in laptops, cost only $350.
Although the price-performance ratio was quite high.
Because its performance was still far behind Intel's most advanced CPU, it received a lot of mockery and ridicule.
It was even subjected to malicious interviews by foreign reviewers, who deliberately embarrassed him and made a fool of him.
To this, Chen Jin's reply was, "Wait for 115 days, we will surpass you."
This caused a huge reaction on the internet, both at home and abroad.
"Bragging," "Pretentious," "Embarrassing …"
There were countless curses and mockery.
But Chen Jin was not joking.
Today was the 28th of June.
105 days had passed, and there were only 10 days left in the countdown.
However, Zhongxin International was still quite impressive. They did not drag Chen Jin down. After three months of hard work, they finally solved the problem of mass production of the 10 nanometer desktop CPU.
They successfully realized tape-out.
They produced the Green Dragon Second Generation with greatly improved performance.
Over the phone, Zhang Wei Jin explained to Chen Jin's substitute, "Mr. Chen, we adopted two methods to solve the yield problem of the 10 nanometer desktop CPU.
First, we slowed down the lithography speed of the super-resolution lithography machine to about one-third of the previous speed. This really reduced the error by a lot.
Second, we adjusted the lithography method. The original CPU was divided into eight cores and turned into eight modules. Then, we spliced the eight cores together to form a complete CPU … It's a bit like building blocks.
The splicing method resulted in a lot of additional processes in the production line, and the production efficiency was also reduced a lot. But if we don't do this, it will be difficult to improve the chip yield.
As a result, the performance of the Green Dragon Second Generation CPU has been improved by four times, and the production cost has been increased by about five times. The price of its individual chips cannot be lower than $4,000 per chip. "
Chen Jin nodded his head.
The performance had increased by four times, which meant that the running score of the Azure Dragon First Gen had increased from 140,000 to more than 560,000.
Intel's most powerful iX-9900K had a running score of around 300,000.
Its performance instantly doubled that of the opponent.
However, in reality, for the sake of heat dissipation and stability, the Azure Dragon Second Gen's operating frequency was only 3.2 Ghz … The setting was quite conservative, and it could be completely suppressed by ordinary air cooling.
On the other hand, Intel's iX-9900K has an operating frequency of up to 5GHZ and can reach up to 5.5GHZ in Rui mode. It can only be completely suppressed by water cooling.
In order to maximize the performance of the CPU, many overclockers could overclock the CPU to the point where it was smoking.
For example, the iX-9900K, a U with integrated graphene heat dissipation, had been overclocked by players to an exaggerated degree of 9GHZ.
His running points had reached a terrifying 540,000.
Based on this score, the performance of the Azure Dragon Second Gen CPU was only slightly better than the iX-9900K.
It could not reach the "far beyond" that Chen Jin had mentioned.
However, Xing Hai Technologies' table U could also be overclocked!
On the basis of the Azure Dragon Second Gen, they selected the "Vermilion Bird Second Gen" which had a better physique, the same integrated graphene heat dissipation technology, and great potential for overclocking.
Its basic operating frequency was 3.6 Ghz, and in Rui mode, it was 4.0 Ghz … The initial performance was more than 12% higher than the Azure Dragon Second Gen.
As for the overclocking ability and the maximum running score, it all depended on how much the majority of computer players could overclock the Vermilion Bird series.
In addition to the ordinary civilian Azure Dragon series, there was the Vermilion Bird series for enthusiasts, and the Black Tortoise series for laptops.
There was also the "White Tiger series" for corporate users. The characteristics of this series were strong performance, high stability, and could run for years.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise – these four mythical beasts symbolized the rise of domestic desktop CPUs, and sounded the horn to completely replace foreign CPUs.
Moreover, due to the characteristic of the "Weaver Architecture" transistors that could be freely combined, these CPUs were equivalent to GPUs with a running score that was basically the same.
It was said that Nvidia's RTX2080 graphics card had a running score of around 450,000.
So …
"Let's slap our faces a few days in advance. Don't let the people who have been paying attention to us wait too long."
Moreover, Chen Jin would continue to control his avatar robot to "personally" host this second-generation CPU launch.
…
8 PM.
Xing Hai Technologies' new product launch had begun.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of live audience members.
Wearing a headset, Chen Jin, who was playing with an object in his hand, strolled to the center of the stage.
He faced the entire audience.
There was a short moment of silence.
It was beyond everyone's expectations.
The big boss on the stage did not go on and on about the various performance parameters of the second-generation desktop CPU.
Instead, he slowly raised the flat, square-shaped object in his hand.
The audience in the front row could even see the golden stitches on the bottom of the square object.
The serious expression on the big boss's face suddenly became somewhat ferocious and fierce.
With a low growl, he roared out a sentence:
"Fear? This is our 'nuclear' deterrence! "
Finished!
The big boss walked straight off the stage.
The "shortest product launch" in history ended just like that.
However, on the big screen behind the object, the performance parameters of the four desktop CPUs were displayed separately.
Especially the running scores.
The running scores of the four CPUs with different positioning were: 550,000, 510,000, 680,000, and 160,000 respectively.
The backstage experience area was also opened. The audience could actually experience the powerful performance of Xing Hai Technologies' second-generation desktop CPU beating the foreign products. Seeing is believing!
…
On the same day.
The entire internet had been turned upside down by the netizens who were bursting with pride.
"Fear? This is our 'nuclear' deterrence! "
"Fear? This is our 'nuclear' deterrence! "
"Fear? This is our 'nuclear' deterrence! "
This sentence could be said to have flooded the screens of various social media platforms.
Especially under the official Weibo accounts of Intel, Nvidia, and the M nation's embassy, this sentence formed a long queue of thousands of people. The queue could be said to be very neat.
…
M nation, Washington White House.
Inside the president's office.
"Fear? This is our nuclear deterrence! "
Looking at the young man's fierce and cold expression in the video, listening to his domineering words.
After understanding the meaning of the words from the translator.
He remembered the attack that the CIA had just reported.
Dana Trump's face alternated between red and white. His chest rose and fell violently. There was a sweetness in his throat. He almost vomited blood on the spot.
