1991 Starting from the core

"Okay, I admit, YOS paired with YX0466 is currently the best PDA solution."

Su Yuanshan came to the above conclusion after playing with PalmPilot 1000, and at the end he added "there is no one".

This made Kutaragi Ken couldn't help laughing: "Su-san, it doesn't have to be like this."

Su Yuanshan shrugged and was silent: "I have never lied since I was born - Mr. Kudo, does Sony hope to enter the PDA market in its next area?"

"It's just one of them." Kutaragi Ken was also very calm.

"Then don't worry, Yuanxin doesn't plan to make a PDA." Su Yuanshan pushed the PalmPilot 1000 to Kutaragi Ken, leaned on the sofa and said easily: "Or, I promise you...even if Yuanxin wants to make a PDA, where will your products be sold? , we will let the market go wherever it goes.”

"Cough...cough..." Kutaragi Ken coughed several times before resisting the urge to roll his eyes.

This guy, if he doesn't plan to do it, he doesn't plan to do it. He also wants to sell himself a favor...

Of course, Su Yuanshan does not engage in PDA. In addition to the reason that this thing is destined to be eliminated, the bigger reason is that he hopes to become an ecosystem creator in the field of digital products.

As he just said, the YOS system plus the powerful YX architecture processor, coupled with flash memory as storage, plus lithium batteries - the only missing piece of the puzzle for the core components in the future digital product field is the LCD panel.

Now that Yuanxin can provide all the above-mentioned components, why should he compete for the market with a bunch of buddies who can't grasp the lifeblood?

Those giants that have lost their creativity often miss out on any emerging products and industries - especially in the Internet era. The fundamental reason is not that the giants are so poor that they need to enter these new fields. They make money - but they are afraid.

They are afraid of not keeping up with the times and being eliminated by the times.

Therefore, every time a new product or new field appears, giants will enter this field in various ways. Some will get involved personally by using the copy Sharingan; some will get involved from the capital level.

In short, they dare not be absent.

Take, for example, a short video. (Everyone knows who I’m talking about.)

But Su Yuanshan is not afraid.

At least from the current point of view, he has not found any signs of the birth of products that can subvert the existing structure. Everything is still moving forward according to the original trajectory, but it is a little faster due to the promotion of Yuanxin.

"But Jiu Duojun, in my opinion, the latest architecture of YX processor is still a bit wasteful when used on PDA. It can definitely provoke more courage." Su Yuanshan took a sip of coffee and smiled meaningfully. : "Nintendo just launched the GAME BOY POCKET, you haven't bought one to play?"

Kutaragi Ken immediately coughed again.

He sighed softly and took out the GAME BOY POCKET released by Nintendo ten days ago from his briefcase.

I have to say that Nintendo is really a big player in the industry. Even if PS has received full support from both the mainland and almost the entire game production industry in mainland China, it will still take time for Sony to shake Nintendo's position.

Kutaragi Ken was promoted to general manager as the head of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) division, so he will naturally pay more attention to the game market. Therefore, when Nintendo released N64 and GAME BOY within two months of this year, and showed obviously positive market feedback, Kutaragi really couldn't sit still.

He couldn't let the SCE business unit he founded have any mistakes - that was his base, his home base.

Of course, Su Yuanshan knew that at the beginning of this year, Nintendo's important partner since the SFC era, Square, turned to Sony, which actually meant that the avalanche of decline of the Nintendo kingdom had begun.

However, there was no need for him to tell Kutaragi Ken.

Kutaragi Ken nodded calmly: "Susan, as you said, we are indeed considering making a handheld game console."

"Well, I support you." Su Yuanshan nodded unequivocally.

If... Nintendo is willing to bend down to cooperate with him, then he will try to find a balance or something. But in the past few years, Yuanxin has actually not given up contact with all "potential customers", including Nintendo - you know, N64 alone has sold more than 30 million units worldwide...

But there obviously regarded Yuanxin as a die-hard ally with Sony and rejected all Yuanxin's plans. So much so that their N64 CPU would rather choose a chip design duo like NEC to cooperate with than adopt the obviously more advanced YX architecture...

Then Su Yuanshan can only give up his fantasy.

"Meijie recently reached a cooperation agreement with Xinghai on GPU-related technologies. Coupled with their previous investment in onboard display cores, it is expected that the integration of the Northbridge chip and display core will be completed within the next six months." (Note: The earliest integrated graphics cards were integrated into the chipset.)

"At the same time, we are also actively promoting the integration and integration of the display core of the YX architecture. One year...Jiu Duojun, one year at most, we will probably be able to produce results." Su Yuanshan raised a finger.

Kutaragi Ken looked at Su Yuanshan without blinking. When he heard that the YX architecture would complete the display core integration in the next year, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Okay!" Kutaragi Ken shouted in a low voice.

"Do you know why every time I go to Ni Country, I have to go to Fujitsu?" Su Yuanshan took a breath and sighed: "Kyudo-kun, currently, the only thing missing from our puzzle is the LCD panel. Already..."

Kutaragi Ken withdrew the joyful light in his eyes and nodded slowly.

Yes, among the puzzle pieces of digital products, only the LCD panel is a little bit worse. And in the past year or two, Kutaragi Ken has also witnessed with his own eyes the crazy expansion of Niguo's semiconductor companies in the LCD panel industry, which makes him break out in a cold sweat every time he thinks about it - if Su Yuanshan hadn't persuaded him to join forces with Fujitsu to get involved in LCD panels, I'm afraid Sony will really be absent from this field forever.

And the most important thing is that in the puzzle of digital products, in addition to the field of chip design, Sony is present in other puzzles.

"I will urge cooperation over there." Kutaragi Ken replied seriously.

"grateful."

"It should be." Kutaragi Ken paused and sighed softly: "But Su-san, there is bad news this time."

"I failed to convince Nikon to join our cause."

As he said that, Kutaragi Ken looked regretful.

Su Yuanshan only regretted for a moment, but soon started laughing.

"It's okay, as long as he is willing to sell us photolithography machines, he can also be a trading partner."

——The business mentioned by Takera Kutaragi naturally refers to the establishment of a wafer fab.

——He and Su Yuanshan agreed that if a photolithography machine manufacturer can enter the wafer factory, it will undoubtedly have greater competitiveness and risk resistance.

Unfortunately, Nikon is not stupid.

Hmm...a little silly again.
