I am a profiteer in Computer City, and my customers are begging me not to go bankrupt?

Xeon series, this is a series of processors developed for servers by Intel Corporation in Shen Langbai's previous life.

Its characteristics are very distinctive, that is, it has an unparalleled number of cores and threads at the time, and can handle a large number of tasks at the same time.

Ten-core and twenty-thread processors are common in the Xeon series.

Such a luxurious number of cores will not be inferior even if it is placed in a mid-range home processor ten years later.

Even more than ten years after its birth, the Xeon processor, which has been eliminated from servers, has still become the first choice for many junkies.

In the hardware circle before Shen Langbai traveled through time, the Xeon series was also famous.

Although many people call it foreign garbage and an electric tiger, those who love it regard it as a treasure and have developed various uses for it.

For example, it can be paired with an ultra-large-capacity server memory module to build a personal development environment.

For example, games or simulators can be used as productivity for game studios.

Of course, the above benefits are all based on the premise of four words - limited budget.

Otherwise, on the eve of Shen Langbai's time travel, computers using Xeon processors were already quite low-end products. They were far less stable than new home processors, and their performance was also far inferior.

But in this parallel world, Xeon series processors can be called performance monsters!

Among current home processors, the dual-core and four-thread specifications of the first-generation Core i3-530 taken out by Shen Langbai are considered to be at the ceiling level.

And even among server processors, according to Shen Langbai's understanding, a server with four cores and eight threads is already top-notch.

Its frequency is even more appalling, not even reaching 1.0GHz.

After all, the greater the number of threads, the more difficult it is to increase the frequency.

Moreover, the working characteristic of the server is to process a large number of"220" light tasks at the same time. The requirements for the number of threads are very high, but the requirements for the frequency that represents the ultimate performance are not high.

In this parallel world, servers with such specifications can be considered top-notch, and each one is extremely expensive.

But compared with the Xeon series, it is simply complete electronic waste.

Especially Shen Langbai's sight fell on the Xeon series processor.

The Xeon series God U, which is known to everyone among the garbage guys in the previous life, has terrifying specifications of ten cores and twenty threads, and its frequency is also rare among server processors.

By default, it can reach up to 3.2GHz for all cores.

This is already quite an exaggerated frequency in a server processor.

But don’t forget, it can also be overclocked!

If combined with the chicken blood BIOS, the frequency of the E5-2666V3 processor can be locked at the full core 3.7GHz!

You must know that this is a ten-core processor. The frequency of the ten cores is higher at the same time, and the performance improvement brought by it is equivalent to an entire other processor!

In his previous life, Shen Langbai had assembled several Qianyuan Magic Machines using E5-2666V3 as the processor, and he knew their performance parameters very well.

Now that there is a need to configure server-level computers, Shen Langbai thought of this processor.

The points required to unlock this processor are eight million, but for Shen Langbai, who currently has more than 100 million points, this is just water.

Shen Langbai thought it was very appropriate to exchange such a sum of points for the smooth operation of the computer and prevent the online store from making mistakes.

What's more, if this thing is used as a server now, it is simply a pure dimensionality reduction attack.

Companies related to the Internet are definitely flocking to it.

It’s just a few million points. Sooner or later, you can earn back tenfold or a hundredfold from these companies!

When he thought of this, Shen Langbai decisively said in his mind

"System, unlock the E5-2666V3 processor for me!"

The next moment, a full eight million points were deducted from Shen Langbai's system panel.

Following this, another new purchase option appeared.

"E5-2666V3, the first generation of the Xeon series, the favorite of garbage men, the magic weapon used by computer city profiteers to deceive customers."

"Ten cores and twenty threads, 30MB of level 3 cache, it was a powerful server back then."

"After adding a chicken-blood BIOS, even if it is placed in a later low-end computer, it can still perform well. It can handle general online games, 3A games, and even professional productivity needs without any problem."

"Although objectively speaking, its single-core performance has been outclassed by later generations of home processors, and its proud multi-core performance is about to be caught up, but considering its price, this processor's cost-effectiveness is still quite good. beat"

"System evaluation: The former king now has a trace of residual power left, and the host finally took out something that can still be used."

"System price: 150."

Seeing the system reviews, Shen Langbai's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

I was used to the system's venomous tongue, and I thought it would not have anything good to say about the E5-2666V3 processor. , I didn’t expect that the evaluation was quite good.

Looking at the price of this processor, Shen Langbai glanced at

"It is indeed a profiteer system. I remember that the price of 2666V3 before time travel was around thirty or forty, and when the price increased, it was only sixty or seventy."

"If you come to your place, it will be directly converted into one hundred and fifty, and you still make money from my price. It’s really treacherous."

But after a moment, Shen Langbai also shook his head.

Forget it, it's almost the same anyway.

His profit margin is really not worse than these dozens of dollars.

In comparison, the experience leap of using E5-2666V3 is even more impressive to Shen. Langbai is looking forward to it.

However, since this processor is built for servers, the motherboard it is adapted to is also different from home motherboards. The

H55 motherboard used in previous Core computers cannot be installed with E5-2666V3.

Still need A server motherboard was specially unlocked for it - X99.

The price of this thing in the previous life was really not cheap.

When the price of Xeon series processors was generally reduced to more than ten or twenty yuan, the price of an X99 motherboard was actually as high as four hundred. More than 1 yuan!

Shen Langbai glanced at the system mall. Good guy, to unlock the original and genuine X99 motherboard, the points consumed are as high as fifteen million.

This made Shen Langbai's cheeks twitch.

It's not that he can't get out. With these 15 million points, the question is, what can I do with these 15 million points? Why do I have to unlock the original X99?

Isn’t the copycat or modified motherboard good?

In the previous life, I had the original genuine X99 motherboard When the price is as high as more than 400 yuan, the X99 boards produced by Longguo's copycat manufacturers such as Huanan, Jinsha, etc. are generally priced at only one or two hundred yuan, and compared with the original ones, they have made a lot of broadening and improvements. Improvement.

In terms of functionality, the X99 motherboard produced by Zhai Factory may be better to use than the original one!

In the system mall, Shen Langbai also found the option to unlock the X99 motherboard from Zhai Factory.

It only takes five million points to get it, compared to The original X99 saved a total of 10 million!

This time, it’s not that the original cannot be bought, but the copycat is more cost-effective!

Shen Langbai didn’t even hesitate and decisively chose to unlock the South China X99 motherboard.

After a while, this piece of The motherboard also appeared on Shen Langbai’s purchase list.

"South China X99 motherboard, the motherboard modified by Zhai Factory, 8+2 phase power supply"

"It has eight memory slots and can support up to eight channels of 128GB memory."

"In addition, the motherboard has some improvements that keep pace with the times compared to the original X99."

"On this you can even see two M.2 hard drive slots for installing solid state drives."

"There are even ARGB jumpers that allow you to install some RGB fans!"

"I think even if the X99 motherboard came by itself, I would never have imagined that it would be changed like this."

"System evaluation: quite interesting magic reform village board"

"System price: 250."

Shen Lang's eyes showed satisfaction.

He had played with this motherboard in his previous life, and it was still very interesting.

Especially the maximum amount of memory that can be called luxurious, 128GB of memory, and eight channels, which can be described as terrifying. Si! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Such a huge memory can be said to be uniquely endowed on the server.

It is also very suitable to use it for some professional applications that are extremely memory-hungry.

Then, since the motherboard Yes, there is such a board that can support eight-channel memory.

The memory stick is naturally indispensable.

Shen Langbai browsed through the system mall and found a 16GB server ECC memory with ddr3 specifications.

This kind of ddr3 specifications The most obvious advantage of server memory is that it is cheap and big. In the past, a 16GB memory could be bought for only about twenty or thirty dollars.

But if you want to buy serious DDR4 memory, a 16GB memory It costs almost 200 yuan, and the price difference is huge.

However, while this kind of server memory is cheap, it naturally has shortcomings.

One is the low frequency, which can basically only run to 1666MHz.

The other is the high latency of the memory. It will be several times higher than normal memory latency.

However, these shortcomings are not a problem at all in today's parallel world. The memory frequency of 1666MHz is already considered very luxurious today.

And the memory latency is not as high as In the era when competitive online games appeared, you would never feel any difference if you played ordinary stand-alone games.

If you used it for office work, the difference would be minimal.

In this case, Shen Langbai would of course choose this kind of server memory. 0...

After a while, an Intel 16GB-DDR3-ECC server memory appeared on Shen Langbai's purchase list.

The system doesn't have much to say about this thing.

"16GB-DDR3-ECC server memory, a cheap and useless thing, the favorite of garbage men"

"System price: 50 per piece"[]

At this moment, Shen Langbai took a deep breath, with a fiery look in his eyes.

The processor, motherboard, and memory have all been redeemed.

That's also the time for this Xeon computer to appear in this world!

Immediately, Shen Langbai decisively purchased an E5-2666V3, a South China X99 and eight 16GB memory sticks.

The cost is only 750 yuan, which is really insignificant compared to the performance improvement it can bring to Shen Langbai.

After a while, Shen Langbai started installing the computer without stopping.

Dismantle a Core computer, remove the upper Core board, replace it with an X99 motherboard, and then install E5-2666V3.

Eight 16GB memory sticks are filled into the memory slots one after another. They are so full that they look like one. Cool!

Then tinker with the heat dissipation.

Install the Voodoo5 graphics card.

Soon, a Xeon computer appeared in front of Shen Langbai.

Shen Lang's eyes showed anticipation and he decisively pressed the power button.

After a while, the computer desktop wallpaper appeared.

Shen Langbai opened the device manager and saw ten boxes densely appearing under the processor column, which meant that the current processor had ten cores.

The memory part also shows a capacity that can stun today's hardware players.

A full 128GB!

You know, today a 64GB mechanical hard drive is considered by many players to be top-of-the-line storage.

The memory can have 1GB, which is already a flagship configuration.

But the memory of Shen Langbai's Xeon computer is twice as large as the top-end storage of players, which is absolutely incredible!

Shen Langbai was full of curiosity and used this computer to run the highest quality Crysis at 1080p resolution.

Originally, even an overclocked Voodoo computer could only run a dozen frames at this resolution.

But now, after switching to the E5-2666V3 processor, the processor efficiency has skyrocketed.

The frame rate also soared to more than 40 frames. At this time, such a frame rate can already be called a smooth game.

And this was a situation where Shen Langbai had no time to write a chicken-blood BIOS for overclocking.

If we overclock this E5-2666V3 and switch to a graphics card with stronger performance than Voodoo5, it is not impossible to reach 100 frames!

Thinking of this, Shen Langbai's eyes also lit up.

"Good guy, it would be even better if it were a 1080p high-brush monitor!"

But after a moment, Shen Langbai still shook his head.

4.7"Forget it, the 1080p60hz monitor is enough now."

"Users' wallets have also been harvested, and they have to wait for them to grow longer before launching new products."

"Let's first see if this Xeon computer can handle the vast amount of information in the backend of the online store smoothly."

Immediately, Shen Langbai opened the backend of the online store.

In the past, even an overclocked Core was completely vulnerable to thousands of message prompts pouring out at the same time, and the lag was flying.

But now I have switched to E5 After -2666V3, the previous lag has completely disappeared, replaced by extremely silky smoothness.

After all, this is ten cores and twenty threads, which is five times more threads than the Core i3-530, and the memory capacity is even higher More than a hundred times. Faced with such a situation that requires processing a large amount of information, the advantage is too great.

When Shen Langbai saw this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face

"I can finally handle the background information properly."

"Oh my god, it’s so difficult to deal with all these transactions and messages."

"First, I will reply to all the shipping and other issues in a unified manner. It seems that I will have to recruit customer service personnel as soon as possible in the future, otherwise I will definitely be too busy by myself."

Then, Shen Langbai gave a unified reply to all customers.

"Thank you to our customers for shopping in our store. All products will be shipped within three days of purchase, so please be patient."

After that, Shen Langbai typed on the keyboard again, a bright color flashing across his eyes.

"Seize the time, write out the bloody BIOS of this Xeon host, and improve its performance to the peak."

"By that time, if I sell a server costing less than 1,000 yuan to those enterprises that cost 100,000 yuan, they will probably still be rushing to get it."

"A profit rate of a hundred times, it’s really a pleasure to kill these big dogs!".
