“Saunders, I am Feng. How about the development of accelerated processors in cooperation with Nvidia?”

There are four main factors that limit the appearance of tablets. There are three hardware aspects, and the software is mainly the operating system. The operating system is also limited by hardware. It cannot be developed and considered to be very useful. As a result, the hardware does not move the system at all.

As far as hardware is concerned, the most important ones are processors, screens and batteries. Among them, the processor includes CPU and GPU, etc. The screen also requires multi-touch, and because the screen is larger, the performance requirement for the battery is higher.

After the tablet was designed, Feng Yu’s request was to allow at least eight hours of continuous video viewing.

On the battery side, there has been a breakthrough in progress, but if the processor core energy consumption is too high, then not only the problem of power consumption, but also a major problem, that is, it will be hot.

Tablet PC, but like a mobile phone, there is no cooling fan, no one wants to play and play, I feel that the tablet on the hand is hot, right?

In addition, there is a high demand for the clarity of the screen, the sensitivity of the touch screen, etc. At present, Wind & Rain Electronics is one of the top LCD screens in the world, and this can basically meet the requirements of Feng Yu.

The only thing is the processor side, or not. Tablets are made in the same way as the products offered by Chaowei and Nvidia, and the thickness of the tablet is close to two centimeters.

And with other accessories, the weight of the entire tablet will be too heavy, even if it is a plastic case, it should be a few hundred grams. If you follow the design of the aluminum alloy shell of Feng Yu, it must be at least eight hundred grams.

Such a heavy thing, it is hard enough to keep holding it by hand, and it is even more impossible to lie down. One accidentally fell on his face, and people are still not stunned.

Feng Yu has spoken to the Lenovo Group several times. This tablet is not a miniaturization of the all-in-one, nor is it the IBM ThinkPad, Microsoft’s TablatPC, and of course, PDA (PDA).

The main use of this tablet is entertainment. With the improvement of performance, it can be combined with office attributes, but it is definitely not developed for office.

So satisfying some entertainment performance is enough, no need to be as powerful.

The system is the same, there is no need to add any functions, it should be enough to upgrade the operating system of the smartphone, not the PC operating system.

This is a product between a smartphone and a computer, so this system is also somewhere in between. This is true both in performance and in size.

Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation has invested a lot of energy in developing this YOS system. To this end, Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation has acquired a number of small software design organizations in order to get professional software designers and expand the team.

Fortunately, Lenovo-Silver Mountain Corporation is not bad at this time.

When the other aspects are progressing very well, the processor is stuck here.

Chaowei and Nvidia don’t cooperate with each other, but they want to make the best performance of this product, so they find that the architecture design can’t satisfy them. Not too thick, too big, or have other shortcomings.

Today, Sanders received a call from Feng Yu. He was very embarrassed to answer: “Feng, this has not yet made a satisfactory design. But we are speeding up, I believe that there will be results soon.”

Feng Yu shook his head, and you told me this last year. A year has passed, and no one has appeared. Is this what you said quickly?

If you don’t see the super-core dual-core processor project progressing very well and the profit is very good, Feng Yu should be worried. After all, Chaowei and Nvidia don’t pay much attention to this product, and they are more worried that the current advantage is surpassed by other organizations.

It’s not a mistake to focus on the strengths of the project, but they don’t know how much profit the tablet will have in the future.

The traditional desktop market will gradually shrink, the all-in-one market will expand, the notebook market expands, the tablet market expands, and the overall PC market is expanding.

According to this law, the layout is more reasonable, the space is smaller, and the products with lower energy consumption will be more popular.

“Do you know ARMCorporation? Their product architecture, how do you feel?”

“ARM? Their microprocessors do have their own unique features, but the performance is too low. It’s okay to do the core of the mobile phone. How can it be the core of the PC?” This Corporation is a peer, how can Superpower not understand it?

“I mean, what about their product architecture? If you use their product architecture solution, can you give me some hints, can you make it faster to speed up the processor?”

“This acceleration processor does not require much performance, 800MHZ is very good, the second-level cache 512KB is OK, the graphics card does not need to be excellent, the core frequency 256MHZ is enough, I am asking for low energy consumption and space. Small, it can be applied to our tablet.”

The performance of the tablet does not need so much excellence, Feng Yu did not intend to make this a luxury, the price of about five hundred dollars is enough.

So designing a better product, but letting the cost increase, is not worth the loss. Feng Yu temporarily positioned the tablet as an entertainment item, and the price is too high, which will definitely affect sales.

Hearing Feng Yu said, Sanders replied: “Feng, their product architecture scheme is indeed mature, which can give us a lot of inspiration. But in this case, we have to buy ARM patent license. This matter, I have to talk to Nvidia to see how this cost should be shared.”

Although both are sub- Corporations of the Wind & Rain Holding Company group, they are subordinate to different organizations and shareholder composition is different, representing the interests of different people.

Of course, for Feng Yu, the two companies profit, he can follow the profit, so he considered less detailed.

“Well, then go to Yang to discuss it and give me a reply as soon as possible. Also, don’t worry about contacting ARM, it will be better to contact next month.”

Sanders is a bit surprised, Feng Yu is so anxious to develop this product quickly, here is not anxious to contact ARM, what does it mean?

He suddenly thought that Feng Yu seems to be very interested in hardware design and manufacturing, is it that Feng Yu is planning to acquire ARM?

It seems that Feng Yu said that to be the biggest giant in the IT industry, I really don’t talk about it.

Hardware, software, network, computer, etc. are all involved, if the future is really the biggest giant in the industry, it is not impossible.

Since Sanders said that there is great inspiration, then there should be no problem. The past Apple Inc. A series of processors, not the adoption of the ARM architecture, has opened up the years of their smartphones and tablets.

But in this world, Apple Corporation is still on the sidelines.
