Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 298: New products are still emerging

In fact, Atari’s personal computer Atari 400/800 series was developed as the successor to the Atari 2600, a home game console.

Because midway operators realized the rise of personal computers, they temporarily turned to and adjusted them to support more devices such as keyboards, thus breaking into this field.

Atari 400/800 is quite commendable. For example, the bus interface atar for connecting external devices is somewhat similar to usb, which will only appear in the future.

However, the personal computer industry is in deep water, and the Atari 400/800, who wanted to make a fortune, fell into two places.

Because the prototype of Atari 400/800 comes from home game consoles, and such products have to meet the FCC, that is, the relevant electromagnetic radiation regulations, so it has some additional shielding designs in the circuit, but it is turning to be personal After the computer, it did not make adjustments, which made it uncompetitive in terms of cost.

Also, the Atari 400/800 has committed the same problem as the Atari 2600, and has always overestimated the direction of memory prices.

The capacity it was equipped with was 4kb and 8kb for the two models at the time of design. But when it was released, the price of the memory was drastically reduced and had to adapt to the trend and increase to 48kb. As a result, the heat generation became a serious problem.

Next year in the original time and space, Atari will launch the Atari 5200, the next-generation home game console Atari 2600, which is basically copied from the personal computer Atari 400/800 series. But it failed because of incompatibility with Atari 2600 games.

This can be seen. The Atari people are opportunistic. It's too amateur.

When Tang Huan developed the Fangyuan computer and the Xiaobawang game console, he also adopted the same source and branch method, but he did not make such a low-level mistake.

In addition, the phenomenon that Atari 400/800 and Atari 5200 are of the same origin shows that personal computers now have good game capabilities. For example, the famous Xueleshan company has already developed games on it.

But from another aspect, it also shows how chaotic the electronic game console market is, and even personal computers are rushing to eat.

Kang Maoda has just launched the latest model of personal computer re64. It’s just such a shit-cutter. With its cost advantage, its product is priced at less than US$600. An advertising slogan similar to "Do you only want a product that can only play games, or a personal computer that does not delay learning and games" , I fooled away many customers who were originally electronic game consoles.

After listing the most likely remaining survivors of this round of market competition, the working ideas of the participants naturally became much clearer.

"Although the Osborne generation machine is now a newcomer in the personal computer market, its performance can be described as eye-catching due to its portability. Why is it not favored?" Some people are deeply puzzled.

"Our hardware equipment. The failure rate is very low. Don't be accustomed to this. It is the result of the cooperation and hard work of many people in many departments."

Tang Huan sighed, "As far as I know, Osborne Computer has been stunned by the huge order. It only cares about how to deliver as soon as possible, but it is seriously behind in terms of quality management. The time when this crisis broke out. It’s not too late, enough for them to be in a hurry. Moreover, the Osborne generation machine does not have a technical threshold, and followers will soon appear. Under internal and external troubles, can its prospects be called optimistic?"

After discussing for a while, Tang Huan saw that everyone gradually reached a consensus on this analysis and prediction, and continued to preach: "There is no doubt that ibm is our worst enemy, and the current battlefield is mainly concentrated in the software and that. The so-called patent lawsuit. But according to the development situation of the semiconductor industry, the cost of computer components will be further reduced next year. At that time, the second-generation Fangyuan computer that has undergone price adjustments will definitely be handed over with ibm-hardware."

Mainstream personal computers in the market like apps generally have a memory configuration of 48kb, while the basic model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer starts from 64kb.

In the original time and space, a 64kb dram cost US$50 per piece in 1981, but in 1982 it was US$5 per piece.

The reason for such a big dive is naturally due to the aggressiveness of Japanese semiconductor companies.

Tang Huan has been keeping an eye on the Japanese side. He is completely confident that this general trend will not change. Moreover, the huge memory demand brought about by the emergence of the Xiaobawang game console and the Fangyuan computer has further stimulated the Japanese ambitions.

In other words, the Japanese-U.S. semiconductor war will get worse because of Tang Huan's fire.

Tang Huan is optimistic about this excitement. The cheaper the memory, the more articles he can do on the personal computer platform.

"Since everyone is essentially fighting for standards, we should work harder in this area. In addition to promoting the authorization of the isa bus, we must also actively attract third parties to develop the isa card. You must know that every time a new product appears, It means that the second-generation Fangyuan computer has one more application area. For example, after having a certain factory information acquisition card, the second-generation Fangyuan computer can enter the production enterprise grandiosely."

Tang Huanyang profusely instilled his ideas into the minds of his subordinates, so that the entire IT industry cluster can correctly respond to the current new market competition situation while maintaining a steady progress.

The function and significance of this meeting is very important, so it takes a long time to convene.

After that, Tang Huan inspected the progress of the various projects the company is developing.

Since there is a spring exhibition this year and will be held in New York next month, Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, and ea, who have always been heavyweight exhibitors, must take every session seriously and show valuable products.

One of them is worth mentioning, although because of the heat issue. As a result, the second-generation Xiaobawang game console is temporarily unable to be introduced to the market. But the optimization and improvement of the first generation of Xiaobawang game consoles has never stopped. Its video and audio effects have been significantly enhanced.

Since there is the concept of central processing unit or cpu that performs general functions in microprocessors, there will naturally be their own proprietary concepts in the audio field and video field:-sound processor or apu and-graphics processor That is gpu.

It's just that people have not paid attention to it because of the problem of vision.

The reason why Tang Huan continued to enhance the generation of Xiaobawang game consoles is mainly to take advantage of its demand, to stimulate the development of apu and gpu, and to test the actual results of their conversion into products, and finally expand to the personal computer platform.

Such a height is naturally unattainable by the likes of Atari, Nintendo, and Sega. And they can only watch ea crazy and jealous.

For the second-generation Fangyuan computer, a special ultra-high-end new model was launched. Its motherboard is equipped with two microprocessors. A special chip is used for communication and collaboration. The operating system fr needs to be loaded. An additional driver can play the power of dual cpu.

Obviously, this kind of personal computer with a multi-processor architecture will be the highest-end product in the entire product line of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, and it means. The desktop publishing system has a more powerful hardware platform.

However, even with two CPUs. The execution efficiency of the entire second-generation Fangyuan computer will not double, and can only reach about 150%.

It seems to be a distance from the recognition of "11=2", but this result has been hard-won, and it can be called a perfect technical attempt.

Zheru’s new product is more professional. It is a new set of programming language development tools-c. Its research and development power comes from meeting the needs of its own development of large-scale software.

c Supports object-oriented programming, invented and implemented by Dr. Bianni Strausstrup of Bell Labs.

In addition to the display of new products, Tang Huan also focused on the telecom switch project.

The eagerly awaited technical staff, after getting the processing of the framework, soon launched the official sample of the telecommunications switch, and placed it in the R&D center building for testing.

In addition, they found two hotels willing to be guinea pigs to try out this equipment.

Tang Huan personally experienced some new features, such as caller ID that was accustomed to time and space.

In fact, the biggest difference between this telecommunications switch and other traditional telecommunications switches is that in addition to transmitting sound, it also fully supports data transmission.

In other words, the speed of data communication through the public telephone network with a modem will be significantly improved.

Of course, the premise is that the line passes through this telecommunications switch.

Very satisfied, Tang Huan praised the entire project team and said bluntly: "Your product will be the next gold-sucking monster."

...

In fact, although the IT industry is extremely risky, Tang Huan, as an expert, can always make the layout that is most beneficial to him. Therefore, the philosophers and other affiliated companies at the center of the storm are more comfortable than outsiders guessed. Much.

After Tang Huan asked these Silicon Valley elites to complete their intentions, they began to deal with the affairs of the Shennong Foundation.

The first phase of the Baozang Hospital was completed and put into use.

To this end, Tang Huan held another dinner and invited various political figures and celebrities to celebrate.

In accordance with the usual practice, Baozang Hospital will naturally also realize informationized office. Zheru has developed a medical record management system for it, which can be regarded as opening up a new application field.

The Wang Family of Baodao has already opened the famous Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Therefore, from the beginning of the preparations for the establishment of the Bao Zang Hospital, it has received professional staff from there. Together with the abundant financial support of the Shennong Foundation, its formality is far more than that. Tang Huan's expectation has attracted many elites in the American medical field.

In Tang Huan’s view, the treasure hospital is mainly for the Shennong Foundation to spend more money on, so he used "professional work and professional people to be responsible" as an excuse, and he did not express any opinions, but just went around to visit. Again.

The exception is the Acupuncture Department of Baozang Hospital. Tang Huan made it clear that under the framework of California's relevant laws, clinical research in Chinese medicine should be encouraged.

In addition, the laboratory has its own dedicated building since then, and research results such as rapid diagnosis have also received great attention from the U.S. official.

It is not difficult to see that Tang Huan has been busy in this field, all of which belonged to throwing money out, so he has always been curious about Viagra, a project that should be crazy to attract money.

How is the Viagra project going? Men all over the world are looking forward to you.

However, it is a pity that even if the ingredient of sildenafil is known, the necessary and rigorous clinical research process cannot be surpassed.

In other words, if Viagra wants to enter the market, there is still a way to go.

...

During this period, James Cameron, who had not seen him for many days, paid a visit.

Tang Huan couldn't help being very curious when he saw the other party's depressed look.
