But what should I do next?

According to the plan, it should be to enter the electronics industry. Catherine has even organized a group of technical workers to study the most important thing - CPU.

However, this plan has made no progress for the time being. Although Catherine understands the structure of the CPU, it is somewhat difficult to realize the process of miniaturizing it. Fortunately, Catherine knows a lot about this aspect.

In fact, it is not difficult to make a CPU, even in this era.

Of course, if you have to talk about "craftsmanship" or something, it is definitely incomparable.

But the simplest CPU is not that difficult to make.

You know, in the future, many American computer enthusiasts will make their own CPUs. Although they are very crude, they are very good to use.

The most difficult thing is miniaturization.

After this problem is resolved, Catherine's gametv will be able to launch a separate console version.

Catherine ordered a batch of micro-transistors from Fairchild Company, and then asked the technicians to study and assemble them. Finally, she finally got the first CPU she wanted. By this time, it was already mid-November.

This is a very crude CPU composed of 2250 transistors, but it looks good from the outside.

There is no doubt that this is the world's first micro CPU.

This CPU can process 4-bit data, perform 60,000 operations per second, has a main frequency of 0.74mhz, and an operating frequency of 108khz.

——In fact, the data of this CPU is almost exactly the same as that of the first CPU in history. The only difference is probably the appearance.

In fact, the size of this CPU is as big as two playing cards laid flat.

I have to say that Moore's Law does make some sense - of course, Moore himself is still at Fairchild and has not proposed this concept.

In the original time and space, Catherine cared about the beauty of appearance. After coming to this world, Catherine felt more and more like she had become a perfectionist.

CPU can also become a cool and popular fashion.

Although Catherine wants to say this, CPU wants to be fashionable... haha.

She just tried her best to make this CPU look more sci-fi and beautiful in appearance, which is a must.

Because her company plan was taken away by Bruce, Catherine concocted another company plan on the other side.

The name of this company is - intel.

In fact, Intel and Apple are complementary.

Catherine ultimately wanted to separate the game functions of GameTV separately, and Intel happened to be able to bring enough support to her future Apple company.

With CPU, it means that the market is completely unfolding on its own.

At least in Catherine's view, IBM seems to be much easier to deal with than the arms chief.

By the way, Catherine reorganized the assets of her company.

Ark Group is the core of Catherine's company. For this reason, she also acquired a small bank that was about to fail.

——At this time, small banks have been struggling, and it is a time for the U.S. banking industry to turn around.

Because of the existence of the Antitrust Law, rival companies are not allowed to acquire such a company. Such a bank will eventually fail. After learning that Catherine was going to acquire it, almost half of the original shareholders

If you sell it for half and get it for free, the bank will sell it.

After handling all the business, Catherine's company core was finally completed.

When Catherine deals with such things, she often likes to prepare everything first, so that things fall into place without having to do any reorganization, grouping or other work, which can save a lot of time.

Under Ark Group, there are several wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Intel was recently established and focuses on semiconductors - to be more precise, it should be various equipment used in computers.

Then there is Apple. Catherine positioned Apple as entertainment and fashion. The company's main business is televisions, game equipment, and computers. Gametv is Apple's first product.

Next, there is "Blizzard Entertainment", which was originally the toy company of "Hogwarts Magic Factory" - now it has become a department below, mainly engaged in the magic war chess series. But now, Catherine positions it as

A game company. It not only provides desktop games, but will also develop electronic games in the future. Catherine even handed over the arcade development of GameTV to this company.

Catherine's name may not have any technical content, but this name also illustrates Catherine's expectations for her company.

The company's total assets are now about nearly 10 million. Most of the profits are provided by Hogwarts Magic Factory under Blizzard Entertainment. However, these profits have basically reached their maximum, and it is impossible to bring more to Catherine.

wealth, so we have to start from other aspects.

The patent for the micro-CPU belongs to Catherine. With this, the emergence of personal computers only took a few months.

Although it is said to be a patent for micro CPUs, it actually has 48 patents. Just like the patent for integrated circuits.

Although collectively referred to as integrated circuits, if we break it down, Catherine holds a total of 75 patents in this area, but they all belong to the type of integrated circuits. It is these patents that blocked the patent paths of Texas Instruments and Fairchild.

To this end, Catherine has increased her investment in Intel, hoping to catch up with the Seattle World Expo next April.

Unlike other industries, in the electronics industry, what Catherine values ​​​​is not monopoly, because monopoly in this area can only interrupt the flourishing state of the electronics industry, or even delay the emergence of personal computers.

Moreover, when it comes to computers, monopoly and isolation are simply wrong approaches.

In the 1980s, Apple's closed standards led to the decline of the company. Only when Steve Jobs returned to Apple did Apple's decline and defeat be saved.

Therefore, what Catherine is thinking about is to formulate a standard, a computer standard!

After having standards, any company can only make things according to what it says. This is what Catherine wants.

There is a saying that goes well: third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make brands, and first-rate companies make standards.

Catherine just wants to make Intel a first-class company.
