Chapter 207 The Future of Chips(2/2)
"So... Shimasan means to develop 8-bit chips first?" Shirakawa Kaede asked tentatively.
"No" Shimasato shook his head, "We still develop 16-bit chips, but we can do a slimming treatment for it."
"Slimming down?" Shirakawa Kaede was a little confused.
"Yes, simply put it simply, simplifying the 16-bit processor into an 8-bit processor.
However, its performance will be stronger than that of ordinary 8-bit processors, between 8-bit and 16-bit.
The advantage is that the cost is significantly lower than that of a 16-bit processor, and the price is only slightly higher than that of an 8-bit processor, but the performance is much better than the latter.
Overall, the cost-effectiveness is very high. It is very suitable to be launched on the market as the first SIC product."
Shirakawa Kaede understood that this is Lao Huang’s traditional swordsmanship.
Or use toothpaste factory as a metaphor, more precisely.
The performance is not sufficient at one time, but is differentiated for products of different grades.
In fact, Intel is already working on this set. 8086 is a 16-bit processor, and 8088 is its simplified version.
Tsk, it is worthy of being a toothpaste factory, and traditional skills have been used with ease.
Shirakawa Kaede looked at Shimamasari with the eyes of picking up the treasure, it was a talent.
I won’t talk about my design ability, but the key is that I have a very talented business.
Squeeze toothpaste, hey, I have to look at my SIC!
"That's it! Shimasan, the chip design is as you said.
First develop a 16-bit full version, and then cut the simplified version of it launched with one knife.
When the market is more mature, then launch a 16-bit professional version. Finally, on this basis, special application chips such as DAC decoding are derived.
Oh, by the way, DAC decoding chips can also be used for 8-bit and 16-bit, right?”
Shirakawa Kaede looked at Shimamasari with a gaze.
The latter nodded without hesitation, "Of course, the higher the digits, the smaller the output distortion and the clearer the parsed sound."
"That's it." Shirakawa Kaede slapped his palm happily.
You see, aren’t the mid-range and low-end models of CD machines ready?
"Shisamura, Matsumura, and SIC are here to the people.
If you have any needs, please don’t be polite. I hope we can launch our own chips next year.”
Shirakawa Kaede got up, and all the employees of SIC will be moved here from tomorrow.
He also understood what he should know, and he was ready to say goodbye.
Let professional designs such as chips be left to professionals.
"There is one thing that needs to be solved by Shirakawa Sang." Shimamasato and Masaki Matsumura said in unison.
"Hey, Shirakawa Kaede was stunned, "Please say, two seniors."
Shimamasato and Masaki Matsumura smiled at each other, "We are not good at this, please ask Shirakawa Sang to find a president for SIC."
"Uh" Shirakawa Kaede didn't expect that they made this request, which was really a bit stumping him.
For a highly professional club like SIC, the president cannot be a technical idiot, otherwise he will not be able to work at all.
"If it really doesn't work, we have no objection to the President at Shirakawa Sang temporarily."
Shimamasari and the others gave a suggestion with a smile.
"Okay," Shirakawa Kaede nodded with a wry smile, "Please rest assured, two seniors, the younger generations behind must be looking for a competent president Sang for SIC."
Alas, Shirakawa Kaede, who was already busy, took on another important task.
It seems that talents need to continue digging. The small hoe continues to wave.
