Chapter 790 We can afford it, but can people afford it?!(2/2)
There was no room for Fang Nian to refuse.
One thing to say, trying to complete a large CPU with a total project cost of 2.5 billion is simply a joke.
Unless you want a defective product.
If you really want to compete with Intel's Xeon series, you will have to invest at least US$1 billion in the first generation.
Fang Nian remembers that when it came to the 6th generation Core, Intel invested US$7.1 billion in research and development expenses, but this included investment in its own production lines.
In any case, developing cutting-edge chips is a more expensive thing in China than developing aerospace technology...
Fang Nian can explain the secrets here to Lu Weiyu in at most three or two sentences, but he cannot make up his mind every time something happens.
Thinking about this, Fang Nian also finished his simple lunch and wiped his mouth.
The waiter not far away was very discerning and came over to take away the dishes and served hot tea.
After the waiters found out that Fang Nian was the boss's son, the treatment Fang Nian enjoyed completely changed.
After taking a sip of an unknown variety of green tea, Fang Nian sighed in his heart: "Everything about the frontier has just begun..."
“In the past year, Frontier has received enough attention, and it’s time to reach the stage of ‘prosperity and decline’ that everyone expected.”
"Once you enjoy something, you must have something to give, so that energy can be conserved."
"..."
Fang Nian stood up in no hurry and looked out the window in a daze.
As Fang Nian expected, all this was just the beginning.
Lu Weiyu finally adopted a slightly conservative handling strategy and did not directly return the order, giving her room for relaxation.
Unfortunately, these three units do not want to appreciate it.
Deliberately taking things to a higher level.
For example, where are the seedlings?
Miao Wei didn't contact Fang Nian because of this trivial matter and gave him a cold treatment.
Of course, the news will inevitably reach Fang Nian.
Therefore, Shi Xinrong and Su Zifeng came forward together to complete the process of returning the order and canceling the contract on behalf of the Zero Degree brand.
On the contrary, there is no liquidated damages involved in the contract. After all, the other party did not make any advance payment for the contract.
That night the matter was settled.
Lu Weiyu Mr. Lu looked at Fang Nian with a frustrated face and said in frustration: "Mr. Fang, am I too indecisive? This has just begun and I can't cope with it."
Fang Nian said calmly: "From Mr. Fang's point of view, Mr. Lu handled it without any problem. In this matter, the gentle handling method at least allowed these three units and the people behind them to 'vent their temper'."
Hearing this, Lu Weiyu frowned slightly and quickly asked: "Then, what about from my husband's perspective?"
Fang Nian cleared his throat and said resolutely: "You are not like my wife at all. This trivial matter does not matter. As for feeling frustrated? They are a bunch of shameless things! Can you do this?!"
"Ah..." Lu Weiyu blinked, then showed a look of understanding, "I understand."
Then Lu Weiyu smiled and said: "It turns out you didn't make a decision on purpose."
Fang Nian smiled and said nothing.
Of course he knew how Lu Weiyu's character would make decisions.
"..."
In fact, these three units are making unreasonable troubles in this matter.
But in the end the frontier took a small step back and allowed them to run wild.
The world is like this, nothing can be liked by everyone, including RMB.
There is Miao Wei who clearly supports the frontier, and there is a certain leader who euphemistically and implicitly expresses through various channels that the frontier is too aggressive...
"..."
…………
Although the fluctuation range of this matter is not large.
Not to mention arousing public opinion, even the spread was stopped by Miao Wei.
But the gossip still spread.
The domestic operating system application ecology team once again faces new challenges.
This time the reasons are slightly more diverse.
It can also be said that Intel and other companies have given more excuses through the market.
First, NVIDIA and AMD graphics card drivers support DeskOS.
Second, Intel chipset intends to cooperate and support DeskOS.
Third, Microsoft has further relaxed its cooperation restrictions and expressed its intention to develop an office family bucket in .nwld format.
Fourth is...
In short, from the news, DeskOS of Nuwa Lab has become mature and commercially available, with a hardware and software ecosystem.
Some people believe that Frontier has finally achieved the cooperation they wanted through strong statements and continuous legal proceedings in various places in Bald Eagle.
In contrast, the development of related domestic industries is very backward and weak, and there is no need for them at the forefront.
In addition to the Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology, Changsha Supercomputing Center and other scientific research institutions have remained steadfast, while the group with a maximum membership of 71 companies has been wavering internally.
What surprised Fang Nian was Jing Jiawei's hesitation.
You must know that Jingjiawei is the first domestic GPU R&D manufacturer to be promoted by the frontier to enter the pan-technology alliance unit.
This all started to cause hesitation...
On the contrary, Loongson seems to have turned a deaf ear to the outside world and only focuses on developing processors based on Bzloong.
After listening to Wen Ye's detailed report, Fang Nian pondered for a moment: "What exactly is Jing Jiawei thinking?"
Wen Ye replied: "The attitude is not very clear. As far as I know, they are a little worried. After all, they do not have the ability to independently develop GPUs."
"In other words, they think that after the DeskOS graphics card driver problem is solved, they will no longer be needed?" Fang Nian raised an eyebrow.
Wen Ye nodded slightly.
After thinking about it, Fang Nian said: "Give them some confidence and support some relevant technical materials appropriately. After all, Bai Ze doesn't have enough energy right now."
Bai Ze has a lot of technical information on powerVR, including desktop GPU related information.
Although powerVR is inconspicuous in the competition with ATI and NVIDIA, it is considered a big player in the almost blank desktop GPU field in China.
"..."
As time goes by, the swings among members of the domestic operating system application ecology group become more and more violent.
More than 90% of commercial projects have been suspended.
The applied ecological research promoted by the frontier has suffered the most severe impact.
Facing failure.
At this time, some scientific research units took the lead, and some commercial companies joined forces to submit a draft to Miaowei.
The content naturally spread to Fang Nian.
"...The internal turmoil within the domestic operating system application ecology group is not conducive to the progress of research and development work."
"..."
"Based on the current situation, it is doubtful whether Frontier has sufficient coordination capabilities."
"..."
"The application ecology is very important. It can be said to be a ten-year plan. Yes, we can afford to wait, but can the country and people afford to wait?"
"..."
When this sharply worded draft was placed on Fang Nian's desk, Guan Qiuhe and Wu Fucheng also rushed back to the office, bringing even worse news...
Chapter completed!
