The Goddess Shines on America

Remember in one second

】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Intel is an important company at the core strategic level, and, purely from the perspective of high-end technology, its performance has exploded countless streets of AMD. For Alice, performance is of course a hundred times more important than the low-consumption user group market. So after she came to the company headquarters and obtained the title of technical consultant as a major shareholder, she began to work on the specific business of each department. Investigate in detail.

The technical department, the most critical and the most elite, has the largest office area but also the most messy area. Here, Alice asked about an extremely important new project from an employee named Gendry.

"This is the flash chip, Miss Alice."

The young Genderley handed Alice a chip in the area of ​​the thumb: "We are now planning to use a flash memory chip to carry the motherboard's BIOS system, which can increase the boot speed of the driver by more than ten times."

Alice wiped it with a towel, and then carefully pinched the tiny chip with the belly of her fingers. Flash memory chip, but also because she hasn't read carefully the company materials given by Gordon Moore, this is a promising baby product!

"Flash chip..." Seeing that Gendelli was still talking, Alice stopped him first: "I know what the concept is, but I'm not sure where you are actually developing..." In order to avoid saying the wrong thing, she decided Give the other person the right to speak: "Let’s talk, man, tell me briefly about this."

Alice was just a simple sentence, but it really put a lot of pressure on Gendry. God swears, Gendelli is just an ordinary technician, and he just graduated three years ago, and he usually comes into contact with classmates and colleagues of the same age background. Now, a young girl who has just reached the age of high school, as his new official as the shareholder boss, asks such a vague question, it is really a test of his technical knowledge.

"The accurate name of flash memory chip is non-volatile random access memory, and the abbreviation is NVRAM." Zendley really had a lot of brains thinking about the wording, after all, he knew that Alice was not a layman after all. The more people in the industry know what grade Alice has made, and if he rashly says too common sense, he will be displeased.

"When you think about it, you know the meaning of ordinary memory. NVRAM is very different from commonly used computer memory. It is closer to the concept of hard disk. It is divided into NOR type and NAND." There is also a big difference in type."

Alice already understands everything, but she still has to listen to Gendry to finish her words before proceeding to the next step.

"NOR type flash memory is more like traditional memory, with independent address and data lines, but the price is more expensive and the capacity is relatively small; while NAND type is more like a hard disk, the address line and data line are shared I/O lines, similar to hard disks All of the information is transmitted through a hard drive cable, and the most important thing is that the cost is lower and the capacity is larger."

It is one thing to know the future development model, but it is another to open your mouth to expose the core secrets of a company. Let a new shareholder who is a “layman” understand Intel’s SSD under development. Gendry said that the goal has been achieved here. For more introductions in the follow-up, Alice just listened lazily, simply to give more to the surroundings. The technical staff just showed up.

"Moreover, the data transfer speed of flash memory is really fast. According to our calculations, the current peak value is definitely about ten times that of ordinary hard drives. Ten times, Miss Alice," Gendry said with a imaginative expression: "If we When can flash memory be used instead of hard drives, how far should the performance of the computer leap!?"

"That day will definitely come, as long as Moore's law keeps working." Listening to Gendry's introduction all the way here, Alice knew it was time to express her opinion. She stood up, and the desks around her were surrounded by a large number of employees from an entire department. While Alice was listening to Gendley's long talk, they at least focused half of their attention here instead of work.

"So everyone, I have an interesting idea for the future combination of computer accessories."

Seeing that the new boss suddenly gave a speech to all the members, at least 20 employees around immediately put down all their work. Not far away, a bearded man hiding in the massive manuscripts shouted louder: "Attention everyone! Miss Alice has a new idea!"

"Come here, wait for me!" This is an employee far away, who is hurriedly typing the last line of code, and is about to run over with a stool.

"Alice? Oh my God, when did our new boss come? The boss wait a minute, no one around you has a tape recorder!" This is a farther position, because the energy is highly concentrated on your own work. He didn't even know that Alice had come to inspect the work.

Alice is of course happy to bring most of the members of the technical department together. Just like her position in Microsoft, she is a shareholder with the title of technical consultant, but she has always been the favorite person to see in the technical department. . After a while, when Gendley's table was three floors inside and outside, she made a speech.

"It is an inevitable trend for PCs to go to tens of thousands of households, and the expansion of the output of hardware products and the expansion of the country's popularity of information technology education will definitely allow more and more people to adopt the form of self-assembled computers in the future. Indirectly buy branded computers from large companies."

She said: "We at Intel specialize in hardware. This extremely expanded market capacity will definitely bring us amazing profits. However, the consumption power of ordinary users is not uniform, and the demand for hardware matching is even more varied. This requires us to expand our product categories, and while developing more efficient products, we also divide them into clear gears to meet the needs of various users, rather than a situation where one product will dominate the world."

These remarks were made entirely out of Intel's current situation. The current CPU is far from the time when it will flourish in the future. The new models developed every two years are already the most efficient products made by the whole company, and they are definitely not qualified to pay attention to the level of product classification. . But this did not prevent everyone from imagining the scene, especially under Alice's reserved description, a beautiful heavenly scene spread out immediately.

The market is full of various models of products, or individual or company customers are walking around in the electronic mall like visiting a vegetable market. CPUs, motherboards, memory sticks, graphics cards, sound cards, hard drives, optical drives, and all kinds of products are categorized into low, medium and high prices. Almost everyone can buy appropriate products with absolutely suitable price/performance ratio according to their needs.

"Obviously, it won't take long. As long as Moore's law works well, let's just figure it out. I believe you don't do it less often." Seeing the blinking eyes of the audience, Alice said, knowing that she has a spectrum in her heart. "Then, since the hardware that we are developing hard now will definitely usher in explosive growth, it is more important to keep the combination of hardware than simply buying higher-performance products."

Having said so much, Alice carefully picked up the flash memory chip Gendley gave her again and said: "I know, whether it is a mechanical hard disk or this flash memory, the storage capacity is pitifully small, but their The data transmission speed ratio is real."

"Then we can imagine that computer data can't only be stored in a hard drive. The computer needs an operating system to start up. The smooth running speed of the computer is closely related to the data transmission of the operating system. Then... Think about this idea, this idea of ​​self-assembled computers."

Looking at the people whose eyes are blinking like computer lights, Alice has memorized those employees who are extraordinarily easy to use: "Use a flash drive with higher cost and smaller capacity, but the data transfer speed is absolutely fast enough for loading operations. The system is used to speed up the startup and daily operations. The ordinary data is still stored in the mechanical hard disk currently used by our computers, and it is used as a simple warehouse... What do you think of this idea?"

These remarks undoubtedly aroused the audience's unlimited reverie ~ www.readwn.com~ Since it is all technical personnel, no one even shouted out like a clerk who likes to take photos of the boss's horses. For a while, there was silence all around, and looking around, programmers were all in a state of imagination.

In this regard, Alice not only didn't care, but smiled for the purpose of achieving her goal.

Many technological developments in modern society are often carried out out of pure market demand, but the market demand is undoubtedly ever-changing, which also leads to a high waste of a lot of resources. The ternary computer is a typical example. The Soviet official said I want, how much resources are spent here, and the Soviet official said I don't want it, and countless resources are wasted.

But in more cases, it's all about whether the R&D personnel's brains are up to standard.

Over the years, the "slow development" of solid-state hard drives is not because the real technology is not up to standard, but simply because of the rampant of mechanical hard drives. Business tycoons will allocate funds for research on new projects, but they can only be limited to a certain scope, and only sell them until they are "raised" to have use value. As for the actual sales method, it is a delicate question.

But what if the company is allowed to develop toward a specific goal from the beginning?

Wouldn't it save countless time and resources in an instant?

Now describe the future use of solid-state drives. Who in the company can't be tempted?

Using a whole SSD as a system disk is a luxury.

But if it is...

"I think we can open a new research topic." Seeing that most people have already thought about the deep steps, Alice said with satisfaction: "For example, hybrid hard drives?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please browse and read. A better reading experience.
