1991 Starting from the core

A fact that Su Yuanshan had to admit was that Carly was stronger than Chen Jing and others in terms of independence of character and enterprising determination. But this cannot be blamed on Chen Jing, it is purely because of Su Yuanshan - as long as he exists in Yuanxin, all decisions of Yuanxin will ultimately be a reflection of his will. And this undoubtedly limits and covers up Chen Jing's ability - especially the ability to look forward.

If Xinghai and Yuanxin are compared to two ships, Carly and Chen Jing are the captains respectively. So on Carly's side, it was equivalent to Su Yuanshan only telling her a location, and then letting her drive forward in the sea of ​​stars.

As for Chen Jing, because of Su Yuanshan's existence, although she was also the captain, she had to follow the channel planned by Su Yuanshan.

This makes her a conservative player rather than a pioneer.

Compared to Chen Jing, Carly thinks more about Xinghai's future and is more profound. Based on her sense of smell and knowledge of Su Yuanshan, she can obviously realize that once Yuanxin gets involved in the CPU field, the focus will definitely be biased towards Yuanxin. This is inevitable. Rather than wait until Su Yuanshan is partial before considering it, it is better to separate the two departments into wholly-owned subsidiaries early, so that they have greater room for development and opportunities for training.

Su Yuanshan shook his head after regaining consciousness and said: Carly told me that she planned to separate the two chip departments into wholly-owned subsidiaries, so don't worry about it. As for Claude... the current Cyrix team is lacking It’s just a good architect, let them find one when the time comes.”

...How can architects be so easy to find? Zhou Xiaohui was speechless for a while. She had been with Su Yuanshan for so long. Although she didn't understand chips, she also knew Su Yuanshan's contribution to the Thor core. It's not fair to say that he was the founder. That's right. And Su Yuanshan, you are responsible for the overall structure.

Haha, if you ask around slowly, you will always find good ones. Su Yuanshan said with a smile.

Choosing not to cooperate in the CPU field does not mean that Su Yuanshan has given up on the Cyrix team.

As he said, now Claude's group just lacks a great architect.

And Su Yuanshan happens to know that one...

——In later generations, Mr. Jim Keller, the legendary architect of Silicon Valley and known as the Silicon Immortal, was still unhappy and unknown in a twilight company, DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation: Lighthouse Digital Equipment Company).

The Alpha series of CPUs developed by DEC, a tough guy based on the 64-bit RISC architecture, are a mess in integer operations, but they are okay in floating point operations. However, because the 64-bit is too advanced and has a simplified instruction set, Totally inferior to X86.

According to the historical trajectory, Jim Keller will not switch to AMD until next year, and then help AMD develop the K8 architecture, which almost brought down Intel in 2000.

But this guy is awesome, but he has one bad thing - he likes to change jobs.

Although in the technology business world, job-hopping is a normal thing. This guy jumps a little too often...DEC, AMD, Apple, Intel...as well as Sibyte and P.A. Semi, two inconspicuous small companies that are engaged in reduced instruction set CPUs - in short, he has all the chip companies. After staying around, every company I visit will definitely leave behind an NB architecture.

This is true for K8, this is true for Zen, and the same is true for A4 and A5 architectures...

There are too many legends about this man in the world of later generations.

If Cyrix can poach this person, even if only one legend is left, Cyrix can maintain its vitality for several years.

Then dig slowly...I'll cook first. Zhou Xiaohui glanced at the time and estimated that it was time for those who went to work to come back, so she stood up. After a pause, he said, Are you sure you're going to AMD tomorrow afternoon?

Well, we have to meet sooner or later... Su Yuanshan had a headache thinking about meeting Sanders. The old man might not have the same opinions on him: By the way, you can start checking with Mr. Qin tomorrow about the financial and organizational situation. , try to finish work early so that we can go home early.”

Um……

…

After a while, a group of people from Xinghai returned from get off work collectively. Ye Rudai was also next door to Xinghai, so she came back along the way.

Everyone inevitably asked Su Yuanshan about the results of today's negotiations. When they knew that Intel had drawn a bottom line for Yuanxin, everyone screamed despicable.

He is just sitting on a mountain watching the fight between tigers, Xiaoshan. Tang Wenjie looked at Su Yuanshan with some worry and said: If nothing else, our relationship with Intel was quite good, but just because Xinghai also got involved in CPU... The relationship became tense immediately.”

Well, it would be strange if Sanders isn't nervous. After all, processors are their main business... Su Yuanshan said with a smile: For us, CPU is just a department and field - in fact, this is also the case with Intel. One of the reasons for being willing to give in.”

Everyone agreed.

Not to mention that when Xinghai acquired Cyrix, some people shouted that they couldn't understand it. Even until Xinghai IPO, the capital market had no hope for Xinghai's CPU department and it was not included in the value calculation at all.

The reason is simple. Desktop processor design is an extremely complex and professional industry. It requires a large number of excellent technical talents, who must be able to endure loneliness and grasp the right direction - in history, there have been too many dead architectures, and even if they are not dead, the rest are almost alive.

In this case, Yuanxin wanted to use his size to rush in... Frankly speaking, no one sitting in Andy Grove's position would be afraid of Yuanxin.

After all, Yuanxin is a mainland company, and most of its employees are native mainlanders.

From this point alone, FarCore is incomparable with Intel.

Even with the genius of Su Yuanshan, there is nothing we can do!

Intel is not worried about Yuanxin challenging its position, but Yuanxin can compete with other opponents...

No, AMD has been a bit miserable.

Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's eat early.

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Su Yuanshan came to the AMD headquarters building as scheduled.

Mr. Sanders still did not go downstairs to pick him up in person, but only asked his secretary to wait at the door, showing his seniority.

Or perhaps, he also wanted to use this method to express his dissatisfaction with Su Yuanshan.

——Yesterday, Su Yuanshan and Andy Grove had an extremely private meeting at Bill Gates’ home. The news spread throughout Silicon Valley last night.

Naturally, it can also reach the ears of Mr. Sanders.

The entire Silicon Valley was in an uproar over the meeting between the two. Everyone was speculating on what exactly the two discussed. Was it purely personal or business cooperation?

Why at Bill Gates' home?

Su, can you satisfy my curiosity?

After meeting, Sanders, whose hair was almost completely white, sat on the sofa swaggeringly, staring at Su Yuanshan and jokingly said.
