Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

Xu Meilin and Wan Feng responded to a question about the millennium bug. She said that this issue was being discussed on the Internet both at home and abroad.

Because next year is 2000, some intelligent systems that use computer programs, including computer systems, automatic control chips, etc., use only two decimal digits to represent the year, so when the system reaches the date crossing the century When calculations are processed, erroneous results will appear, which will lead to various system dysfunctions and even crashes.

The most intuitive and popular explanation is that by the year 2000, the computer may interpret the time as 1900, which is a hundred years away. In some systems, it will inevitably cause calculation disorders, erasure of records, and failure to authenticate.

In fact, this question was raised in 1997, and it has attracted the attention of people who deal with electronics all over the world.

Probably the only thing that doesn't matter is someone.

Although the millennium bug did cause some damage in the world, the scale was not large. It belonged to the sound of thunder but it was drizzle.

The Netscape Huaguang application system uses a four-digit decimal system, so there is almost no such problem.

Now that we are talking about the application system, we cannot talk about Weiruan, which has been acquired by Miguo Online at this time.

Weiruan still retained the company's name after it was acquired by MOL, but this is of no use. Even if it can survive for a few years, it is destined to be a thing of the past.

Its fall will inevitably produce a series of chain reactions, among which Yintel is the most affected.

The operation core of the enterprise network is the server, and the core of the server is the server chip.

In this field in the last life, these server chips were all built on the x86 architecture of Yintel, so Yintel accounted for as much as 90% of the share.

Once there is a large-scale semiconductor blockade and the chip supply chain is cut off, the data center, which is the cornerstone of the social economy, will be in a very dangerous situation.

No one wants to have a butcher's knife hanging on their head, and no one wants to be in danger of being pinched around their neck all the time.

To solve this problem, the best way is to overthrow the monopoly position of Yintel.

But in the previous life, when Yintel occupied 90% of the market share, it was almost impossible to overthrow it.

During the period, there were also several years of fighting between ARM and Yintel in the later period, but all ended in failure without exception.

Many well-known companies have been involved in it.

For example, Sansheng, Nvidia, Broadcom, and Marvell have all developed or intend to develop ARM-based server chips, but they all ended in dismal.

Among them, Gao Tong, who has benefited a lot from ARM in the field of mobile phone chips, once made the industry see hope.

In 2014, Gaotong announced that it would create an ARM-based server chip. In 2016, it was time to announce the first AMR-based server chip product. In 2017, Gaotong officially released the Centrip 2400 series to enter the server chip market.

The release of the results was the peak. Qualcomm, which did not get much response from customers, was rumored to have given up the ARM server chip business many times in 2018, and then it was revealed that the executives had resigned and the team was disbanded.

Why is x86 so capable?

The industry generally believes that this is due to the server chip ecosystem that Yintel has accumulated over the years.

A large number of software applications are developed based on x86, while the software ecology in the enterprise market is often updated less frequently and lacks ecological options. However, the ARM server chips that have appeared on the market generally perform poorly in terms of software compatibility. In the end, users cannot choose to try ARM and can only stick to x86.

In fact, another reason is based on the bundling of X86 and Weiruan operating system.

All software is developed under these two systems, and X86 is naturally invincible.

But now Weiruan has fallen, and its operating system is destined to be annihilated in the computer field, so half of the foundation of X86 has been shaken.

Wan Feng knew a long time ago that as long as the big Weiruan tree is cut down, all the flowers and plants under it will suffer.

At this time, Huaguang Company pushed its own architecture and instruction set to the market in a timely manner, and it was also bundled with the Netscape system just like X86 was bundled with Weisoft.

Of course, the name used is a company called Boiling in the United States.

Whether this company is a US company or a Huaguo company, I am afraid that only Wan Feng knows what is going on.

Huaguang's structure is similar to the ARM architecture, and the chip patents and instruction sets provided are very open. Chip manufacturers can buy a certain version at one time and use it all the time, without worrying about the upstream out-of-stock issue.

The introduction of this architecture has been welcomed by many chip manufacturers, and the downfall of Weiruan has directly shaken the foundation of Yintel's domination of the world.

What's more, at this time, although Yintel is the dominant family, it has not yet achieved dominance.

The unexpected appearance of this situation not only made the Pentium III launched by Intel in 1999 aborted, but also the scientific research plan of the Pentium 4 to be released in November 2000 disappeared.

At this time, if Huaguang Chip can launch its own blockbuster chip, even if it can't wipe out Yintel, it can snatch a large market share from it.

But the strange thing is that at this time, the Huaguang chip did nothing, very low-key, as if it didn't exist.

Wan Feng was very aware of the situation.

Huaguo is now in a very important period, and all work must make way for joining the WTO.

If Huaguang Chip releases any important results at this time and shakes the foundation of Miguo Semiconductor Corporation, this is definitely not a good thing.

If those in power in the United States know that the computer operating system is now in the hands of the Chinese people, and the chips are also occupied by the Chinese people, then they will definitely take action to prevent Hua Guo from entering the WTO.

Because these things have been listed by the United States as the cornerstone industry of the country, they have a vital strategic position.

They will never allow these technologies to fall into the hands of others, especially a socialist country like Huaguo.

This is also the reason why the Netscape system is only called Netscape's so-and-so system in the world and there is no Huaguang behind it, just to avoid attracting the attention of the relevant departments in the United States.

It is precisely because of this mentality of not adding chaos to the country that Huaguang Chip has made epoch-making chips on both PC and mobile phones, but none of them have been announced to the outside world.

Just testing behind the scenes.

At the very least, these things will not be available until Huaguo officially enters the WTO, or they will not appear on the market after China's accession to the WTO.

The country of Hua is still very weak and unable to resist Western hegemony at all, so when it is time to pretend to be a grandson, it must pretend to be a grandson.

In another ten years, after 2010, when China has the ability to protect itself both militarily and economically, many things will be revealed in broad daylight.
