"Well, okay, I'll go there in mid-March."

Catherine said and hung up the phone.

After investing in Van Hill's plan, during this period of time, Catherine picked up all the things she had missed before. And this phone call means that Catherine is preparing to go to China in mid-March to continue filming "Journey to the West".

In just a few months, Catherine's Ark Group's technology has undergone tremendous changes.

CPUs have evolved to dual-core. Although there are suspicions of spurring growth, it seems that the market response is not too bad.

However, for such CPU products, Catherine has positioned them in the low-end segment.

In higher-end military products, 5-nanometer carbon nanotube chips occupy the entire market.

Intel is now building a carbon nanotube microprocessor core. A core the size of a fingernail can crush ten of the current Blade supercomputers.

And the cost is only one-tenth of the original price!

Using the S protein to screen carbon nanotubes and then building them up, this forms the core of today's microprocessors.

Of course, the output of such products is not enough.

In addition to meeting the needs of the army and bane, the rest is no longer enough.

In the ordinary PC world, there may still be hope for computers to catch up.

In today's computer industry, the 0.5ghz dual-core Pisces APU is the most standard high-end processing core.

To put it simply, dual-core is two cores. The core is also called the core and is the most important component of the CPU.

If you pry open the protective cover of the CPU, the bulging chip in the center of the CPU is the core. It is made of monocrystalline silicon with a certain production process. All calculations of the CPU, receiving/storing commands, and processing data are performed by the core. Each

Each CPU core has a fixed logical structure, and logical units such as first-level cache, second-level cache, execution unit, instruction-level unit, and bus interface will all have a scientific layout.

Of course, the current Pisces CPU only has a first-level cache.

The previous generation of Aquarius CPU provided hyper-threading. This generation provides dual-core, but in general, these are advancements beyond the times.

But if you calculate Moore's Law, you will be surprised to find that such changes are actually within Moore's Law!

HT technology is hyper-threading technology. Historically, hyper-threading technology was the weapon that created a glorious era for pentium4. Although it was rated as a failed technology, it played a certain role in promoting p4. Dual-core processors are newly launched.

The processor category; ht technology is to implement two logical processors in the processor. It fully utilizes the processor resources. The dual-core processor integrates two physical cores and is a dual-core processor in the practical sense.

ht technology is like a chef who can cook with both hands at the same time and put one dish on the table at a time; while the dual-core processor is like two chefs who can cook two dishes and put two dishes on the table at the same time.

Obviously, the performance of dual-core processors is superior.

The development of Pisces also illustrates this point.

As for hard disks, with the application of giant magnetoresistance, the size of hard disks now generally reaches 10gb.

This can be said to be a change for the traditional computer industry.

The development of dual-core CPUs was probably due to the hard disk revolution.

Because the dual-core CPU itself was launched together with the new hard drive. The operating experience of the hard drive is better than that of the optical disk, and it is also better in reading, so such a hard drive system is very pleasant to the body and mind.

Reading is originally the biggest bottleneck of the current system. After solving this bottleneck, the system speed has doubled!

Relatively speaking, the problems caused by current CPUs are much smaller.

In terms of memory, today's computers generally use 16mb of memory. For today's computers, it is not too strenuous. It is more high-end and can reach up to 32mb, which is already the limit.

Memory is one of the important components in the computer. It is the bridge that communicates with the CPU. All programs in the computer run in the memory. Therefore, the performance of the memory has a great impact on the computer.

Memory is also called internal memory. Its function is to temporarily store calculation data in the CPU and exchange data with external memories such as hard disks.

As long as the computer is running, the CPU will transfer the data that needs to be calculated into the memory for calculation. When the calculation is completed, the CPU will send the results out. The operation of the memory also determines the stable operation of the computer.

Therefore, in the era when there were no hard disks, the memory market was very prosperous, because memory represented an improvement in performance.

And precisely because of this, the current development speed of memory is almost far beyond imagination!

Market demand and competition have allowed the development of memory to develop products that are more up to date without Catherine's guidance. This is the power of the market.

——Of course, necessary guidance is still needed. A completely free market will inevitably become skewed.

The above configuration is probably the choice of commercial users.

If it is an individual user, they will also choose a Thunder 4 graphics card.

The fourth generation Thunder graphics card has excellent performance and can also support 3D acceleration - although the effect is not very good.

The monitor configuration card, referred to as the graphics card, is one of the most basic components of a personal computer.

The purpose of the graphics card is to convert and drive the display information required by the computer system, provide line scan signals to the monitor, and control the correct display of the monitor. It is an important component connecting the monitor and the personal computer motherboard, and is an important device for "human-computer dialogue"

one.

As an important part of the computer host, the graphics card is responsible for outputting and displaying graphics. Graphics cards are very important for people who are engaged in professional graphic design.

For example, today's graphics cards are mainly responsible for the display part of the game.

At the same time, with the gradual development of digital music and videos, the next generation of Thunder V will begin to fully support video decoding technology.

But at this time, with the help of Thunder's fourth-generation graphics cards, today's computers are generally able to display 800*600 resolution, 24-bit true color, and 85hz refresh rate.

True color means that computers have entered a new era...

Of course, if you don't have a graphics card, it doesn't matter, because there is core graphics in the apu.

Catherine has not developed an integrated graphics card at all - that is, a graphics card integrated into the motherboard - but Intel has still put a lot of effort into the core graphics card.

Although... it sounds a bit funny to let Intel develop APU... Well, maybe we should set up an AMD in the future and let them develop i3, i5 and i7?

The joke is too big.

All in all, an APU integrates the graphics core and the processing core on the same substrate to form a complete processor.

This design integration of the intelligent processor architecture greatly reduces the data turnover time between the processing core, graphics core, memory and memory controller, effectively improves processing performance and significantly reduces the overall power consumption of the chipset.

In notebooks, this is very important, because the current batteries are good for military use, but still not good for civilian use.

Of course, nuclear graphics cannot be said to be perfect, because nuclear graphics do not have video memory, so they use shared memory. As for the speed of shared memory, nuclear graphics is very weak, which also results in the speed of nuclear graphics not being as fast as that of independent graphics.

Even if the frequency and performance are exactly the same, the core graphics will still not be as powerful as the independent graphics.

Video memory, also called frame buffer, is used to store rendering data that has been processed or is about to be extracted by the graphics card chip. Just like the computer's memory, video memory is a component used to store graphics information to be processed. We use it on the display screen

The picture you see is made up of each

It is composed of pixels, and each pixel uses 4 to 32 or even 64-bit data to control its brightness and color. These data must be saved through the video memory, and then handed over to the display chip and CPU for deployment, and finally the calculation results are

Convert it into graphics and output it to the monitor.

Video memory performs the same storage function as the motherboard memory, but the object it stores is the information output by the graphics card to each pixel on the monitor.

But if memory and video memory can be integrated into the processor and turned into a SoC chip, perhaps more powerful products will emerge.

As for now?

Sorry, it's still early.

Catherine herself no longer uses this kind of computer.

Because of the development of carbon nanotube chips, Catherine has a new choice - a computer using carbon nanochips, which is more powerful and requires almost no energy consumption.

It's just that because the architecture is different, it needs to be specially developed for this.

But if carbon nanotube chips can be produced cheaply, it can be foreseen that this is an extremely powerful product that will kill all current computers.

But unfortunately, price is a big problem.

In addition, another thing that is developing is mobile phones.

cdma technology itself is the precursor of 3g technology. Now, 3g technology is already on the market.

This sounds like a fantasy, but in fact, it is true.

Ms. Ratty is the founder of cdma technology. Historically, her technology was sealed until 1985 before it was patented by Qualcomm and then developed.

Catherine has been developing since the 1960s, which means it is 20 years younger.

Even in history, 3G technology has developed over the years. Catherine has just started the pace of 3G. In fact, she is already half a step behind.

As for the system only?

This...is not impossible.

Touch screens already exist, and although smart systems consume power, they are actually not impossible.

However, the development of... has also pointed out a path for intelligent systems... Words completed!

Roar angrily~(To be continued)!~!
