Only two people are here, so we can talk about some more confidential things. However, it is not easy for Wang Xiaoqiang to come here. Maybe he wants to meet more people. So now, after hearing Wang Xiaoqiang say this, Qin Zhenhua asked: "What,
Who else do you want to call? Now I will call."
Looking at Qin Zhenhua's appearance, Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head. In fact, he wanted to call Qin Guoqing to go with him. After all, his nephew and uncle are relatively close. But now, thinking about the computer Qin Guoqing has, I guess
I had no interest in eating at all, so I shook my head: "Forget it, let's just the two of us."
Qin Zhenhua didn't know who Wang Xiaoqiang thought of, but since he didn't say it, Qin Zhenhua wouldn't ask. The two of them came to Jianli Hotel and found a secluded private room. They ordered a few dishes and ate while
chat.
"Brother Qiang, how has it developed in the CPU?" Qin Zhenhua asked Wang Xiaoqiang.
After all, Wang Xiaoqiang left the computer office because the central processing unit was disbanded. Because the cost was too high, the computer office decided not to do it. At that time, Wang Xiaoqiang was very depressed and later went into the business. Later, with the help of Qin Zhenhua,
Wang Xiaoqiang finally has his own career. I don’t know how he is doing in this project.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's question, Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head helplessly: "The biggest problem is the instruction set. Today's computers have long been popularized with X86 instruction sets. Various softwares are adapted to the X86 architecture.
If we want to find another way and create another set of instructions, then there will be no downstream ecological cooperation. We can supply the government and the military and other special departments. However, it is difficult to enter the civilian market.
You also know that this civilian market is the largest market. We are very expensive to carry out research and development. If we only supply goods to the military and the government, then the price of the product will not be reduced. Let’s take the one-machine factory this time.
For this computer, we use the central processing unit we developed ourselves and the Linux system. Although it can be used for scientific research, it cannot be used in the civil market."
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang is also powerless. Any industry that is the first to enter has an absolute advantage. They have a large number of patent rights. It is difficult for other companies to bypass patent rights.
Except for military equipment, there is no patent right to say that military equipment is used. If you want to copy it, you can copy it. If you want to copy it, you can copy it. However, if you use it, it will not work. Unless your company only does business in China and does not have any connection with foreign countries, as long as it is
There is one thing that is, once infringement is involved, it will attract sanctions from others. Now the whole world is a big market, and it is impossible not to do business with foreign countries.
So, they were stuck on this instruction set.
This thing is not something they can solve, and even if the country comes forward, it cannot solve it. When Intel first created the X86 instruction set, it authorized many companies, which is also to jointly build this market.
There were also many CPU companies at the beginning, but now there are only two giants left, and other companies do not have such instruction sets at all.
"Can we buy it through a third-party company?" Qin Zhenhua asked: "Those bankrupt CPU companies still have the right to use this instruction set."
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Wang Xiaoqiang was even more helpless: "You don't understand the tricks here, this instruction set is constantly developing. The CPU companies in the past obtained the most basic instruction set. And this instruction
The set is constantly developing. For example, in the 1990s, when multimedia became more and more common, Intel launched the MMX instruction set. Later, the S-color instruction set was found, and AMD had the 3DNOW instruction set.
Intel and AMD can cross-authorize, but other companies do not have this qualification. Even if we have the previous instruction set, it still cannot be used. Now, computer technology has begun to develop towards 64-bit technology, and they will all increase 64.
bit instruction set."
It is impossible for later generations to enter this market. Just this instruction set will block other companies. Now, when it comes to these, Wang Xiaoqiang is very helpless. After hearing what he said, Qin Zhenhua also understands.
Come here, this is the strength of patent barriers.
Wang Xiaoqiang and the others are indeed studying, but they are using another set of public instruction sets, which can be used in certain professional fields and in general fields, but cannot open up a market. After all, those downstream software manufacturers will definitely not
In order to gain a small market share, they also consider the cost. In this way, any company trying to get involved in this market will be blocked.
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang was a little helpless.
"Brother Qiang, although I don't understand the current software, I was still familiar with the computer systems in the past. I was wondering if there is such a technology that can be transformed at the bottom, that is, compile it again and add those
The X86 instruction set is compiled into our current instruction set for execution. In this way, software designed based on the X86 system can be run on our computer." Qin Zhenhua spoke.
Qin Zhenhua has no time to learn new software knowledge continuously, so Qin Zhenhua can't keep up with the times, but he still has the technical foundation, so now, when facing this problem, he thought of such a solution.
:Compiled again.
It's like people from three different countries communicating. The three people know different languages, one knows Chinese and English, one knows English and French, and the other knows French and German. In this way, the third person and the first person cannot directly
Communication, but you can translate it through a second person.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Wang Xiaoqiang continued to shake his head: "Your idea is possible, but in this way, the efficiency of software operation will be greatly reduced. Users are pursuing performance experience, and they will never be slow.
Like a snail's computer."
"But technology is improving, isn't there Moore's Law?" Qin Zhenhua said: "The continuous development of computer hardware technology will definitely have overperformance. At that time, the resources wasted in the translation process may be ignored.
Woolen cloth?"
In fact, now, the computer performance is already oversupply. Didn’t it be that Qin Guoqing used a distributed computing to exploit it?
