At this time, Yang Xu's mood can only be represented by the expression of a black question mark.

What exactly is going on?

How did Mori Zhou and the others sell Kirin computers?

Could it be that someone is helping Mori Zhou and others to manufacture Kirin chips?

...

Lighthouse Country at half past ten.

Craig Barrett had just soaked his feet and was getting ready to go to bed when the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

"What did you say?"

Craig Barrett was also surprised when he heard the news.

"Morishu Computer is selling Kirin computers, but I don't know which company will manufacture chips for them."

"I see.

After Craig Barrett hung up the phone, he first called Li Jianxi.

"Recently, we have been manufacturing for Nokia, but not for Chinese companies."

Craig Barrett believes that Li Jianxi will not lie to him.

So he hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, he dialed Zhang Mouzhong's number.

"Our orders have been taken care of by Nvidia, and we don't have any spare capacity to manufacture for others."

It's not Sanxing or TSMC.

Craig Barrett called the Neon Country number again.

The result is still the same.

No one does OEM work for China's customers.

In the end, only GF was left as a wafer fab, but he believed that GF was not responsible for this.

Because GF's production capacity is rounded off by ATI, this matter is not a secret in the industry.

"Is it inventory?" Craig Barrett murmured.

Craig Barrett sent a text message to Yang Xu.

Let him wait and see for a few days before talking.

These goods may be Kirin's previous inventory.

...

Eleven o'clock China time.

Yang Xu personally went to the Computer City and took a tour.

When he returned to the office he received a text message from Craig Barrett.

So he sent a text message back to the other party.

Tell the other party that these goods should be the inventory left over from Kirin.

Because the products on the market are exactly the same as Kirin products except for the logo.

...

The reappearance of Kirin Computer has aroused heated discussions among netizens.

"Brothers, the Kirin computer has appeared again. If you want to buy it, go to the computer store and buy it. If it is late, it will be out of stock."

"What? Kirin Computer is on sale again? I didn't see it on Kirin Taobao."

"Kirin Computer is not sold by Kirin, but by Morizhou Computer, Tongfang Computer, Ziguang Computer and Inspur Computer."

[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]

"The price they sell is much more expensive than Kirin. Kirin notebooks cost 2,999, and Kirin mobile computers cost 1,999."

“It’s normal for memory to become more expensive due to price increases.”

"No matter how much it goes up, it won't be able to go up that much."

"Just laugh if you can buy one. I just bought a second-hand one two days ago. Guess how much we spent on it. I spent three thousand yuan on a second-hand one."

"Fuck, you spent three thousand yuan on second-hand goods?"

"If you want to buy it, go buy it quickly. I was afraid it would be too late and I didn't buy it."

“Even if the price increases, it’s still a good deal to buy a Kirin computer. Don’t think about how expensive Intel Pentium 4 is.

A CPU costs over a thousand yuan, and you also need to buy a computer motherboard, case power supply, etc., so it costs at least more than three thousand yuan."

After word spread online that Kirin Computer was back in the world, the four brand stores were packed.

The bosses of those DIY computer and other brands of computer companies were so angry that they vomited blood.

...

3:30 pm

A computer city in Shanghai.

The store manager of Mori Shu Computer Store walked out of the checkout counter after confirming the inventory.

"Sorry customers, today's inventory has been sold out. If you want to buy a Kirin computer, please come early tomorrow." The store manager said to everyone.

"I've been waiting in line for a long time and you actually told me it's sold out?"

"Oh, it's sold out?"

"Let's go and have a look at Tongfang next door. Maybe they have some goods there."

"I'll go to Ziguang. There are fewer people there."

The store manager originally wanted to say that everyone could pay a deposit first, but he didn't expect that everyone would run away before the words were spoken.

Fortunately, Kirin Computer doesn't have to worry about selling, and he believes these people will come back tomorrow.

...

In the blink of an eye, October 5, 2005 came.

Except for the computer companies related to Kirin, the other companies in Computer City can only be described as miserable.

Yangcheng Intel Asia Headquarters.

Yang Xu looked at the sales report in his hand with a frown.

In these five days, their sales fell to the bottom again, with Kirin selling at least 8 million units.

Together with AMD, they can't sell more than 100,000 units.

If it weren't for some software that Kirin didn't support, their computers wouldn't be sold at all.

"How much more goods do they have?" Yang Xu sighed.

...

Kirin Group Kirin Software Conference Room.

Now that the first version of the Pangu system has been developed, there will be no need for so many people to continue to serve Pangu.

Cao Mang used all the currently idle manpower to develop new projects.

In addition to the team leader of Kirin Software, there were also people from Kirin Semiconductor in the conference room.

"I have called you all here this time because I have a new task to assign to you." Cao Mang said while looking at the people in the audience.

"Everyone should know that whether you are making 3D games or 3D animations, you need a 3D graphics engine to complete it.

At present, 3D engines have been monopolized by foreign software companies. What we have to do now is to break the foreign monopoly and develop our own 3D engines.

This task is no easier than developing Pangu.

In addition to developing corresponding software, we also need to develop corresponding hardware.

In addition to the graphics card required by the computing engine, other corresponding hardware systems must be developed.

Let’s start with the requirements of the 3D engine..."

Cao Mang stated his requests one by one.

After listening to Cao Mang's introduction, everyone realized how complicated this work was.

It is far more complicated than their development of Pangu.

However, with the framework designed by Cao Mang, it is not too difficult to develop.

The most difficult part is motion capture and real-time image generation and synthesis technology.

These two technologies require not only the cooperation of software but also the cooperation of hardware. This is why Cao Mang called in the employees of Kirin Semiconductor.

Cao Mang wants them to develop not a sensor capture technology, but a technology that captures the entire process by an optical system.

Unlike foreign ones that require special sensors to capture.

This capture technology is very expensive.

Optical capture technology is different. It is completed through multiple cameras and is completely accomplished by algorithms.

Of course, the camera is not an ordinary camera, it must be a specially developed camera.

Therefore, the two companies need to cooperate to complete this project.

"Do you have the confidence to complete this project within two years?" Cao Mang asked loudly after the introduction.

"Have confidence." Everyone in the audience responded in unison.

"Everyone just has confidence. There is plenty of time for this project. You don't need to work overtime as before. However, you have to complete the work according to the schedule, otherwise your year-end bonus will be gone." Cao Mang said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
