Watching Zhang Ruiping go out to get information, Su Yuanshan took a look at Zhou Qiang first, then Jiang Wenxi, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Are you holding your ultimate move?"

"...No." Zhou Qiang immediately shook his head.

Jiang Wenxi was also a little surprised. He was a chipset and did not involve the architecture of 3D acceleration cards. In addition, he was busy with integration recently, so he didn't know what Zhang Ruiping was doing.

Of course, in front of Su Yuanshan, no matter what, he wanted to protect Zhang Ruiping. So he smiled and said, "Maybe Ruiping and the others have new ideas that have not been finalized yet, so I will take this opportunity to let Mr. Shan check it out."

"I dare not take the control." Su Yuanshan waved his hand and said modestly: "The main reason is that the opponent is too strong. 3dfx, including me, did not expect tnt2 to usher in a reputation explosion."

Speaking of this, Su Yuanshan felt a little moved, even sighed.

Lao Huang is worthy of being Lao Huang.

After forcibly interfering with the development direction of 3dfx and choosing directx that embraced Microsoft at the beginning, although voodoo has indeed been in a dominant position in the past few years.

However... nvidia is still like a grass buried under a huge rock. Although she stumbling, she still survived stubbornly - not only this, just like history, TNT was born as promised.

If the tnt released last year was just a little splash, then the tnt2 released in April this year suddenly ignited the market, not only gained recognition and reputation from players, but also overwhelming publicity followed. Then, the title of "King King" of the civilian was put on his head.

Su Yuanshan has no deep memory of the history of graphics cards, but he knows that in history, Huang Huang relied on the success of the tnt2 series to continue to launch the geforce series, thus defeating opponents such as 3dfx and s3 in one fell swoop, and establishing his position in the world.

This aroused Su Yuanshan's high vigilance and prompted him to set off to come.

"Tnt2's reputation exploded?" Zhou Qiang heard this but pursed his lips disdainful: "Mr. Shan, don't keep staring at the game! You also believe that you will be in the future..."

Zhou Qiang said that when he saw Su Yuanshan frowning suddenly, he immediately realized that even in Yuanxin, artificial intelligence based on heterogeneous computing has not officially been published, and is a "future-oriented" technology.

So Zhou Qiang immediately stopped his mouth and chuckled twice: "Anyway, the application scenarios are not just games."

"Of course it's not just games." Su Yuanshan was a little annoyed. This guy was a big mouth, but he came here this time to determine the way and tone of GPU development in the future. Even heterogeneous computing will become the main promotional slogan of silicon core in the future. Therefore, he glared at Zhou Qiang and said, "Mr. Xi asked you to come here just to develop in professional graphics cards. But whether it is the personal PC market or the game market, this has just begun to rise..."

While speaking, Zhang Ruiping returned to the office with his laptop in his arms.

Su Yuanshan also looked at Zhang Ruiping again.

"Mr. Shan, this is actually the architecture our team has been conceiving half a year ago."

Zhang Ruiping unveiled the notebook, opened a document and handed it to Su Yuanshan: "Our idea is actually the same as the current mainstream graphics card core manufacturers. In addition to introducing stream processors, we also need to provide a higher transmission bit width with the memory. At the same time, our architecture will focus on the design idea of ​​geometric conversion and lighting processing capabilities to reduce the burden on CPUs. To be honest, we believe that only by handing over all the work done by CPUs before to the graphics core can we be called the hot gpus that our competitors are calling now!"

"This is our immature thinking about the future architecture. The biggest problem at present is that we are still demonstrating the difficulty of implementing the architecture and the instruction set and related protocols."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ruiping looked at Zhou Qiang again: "And that's right, we have to consider the expansion plan of heterogeneous parallel computing proposed by Brother Zhou. So... the progress is a little slow now."

Su Yuanshan listened and looked at the design draft. Gradually, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I didn't realize that Zhang Ruiping really had an idea.

As he said, although GPU has been shouting for so long, the real logo of GPU is indeed taken down by GPU. The two most typical functions in the 3D application scenarios, geometric conversion and lighting processing that have been assisted and even handled by CPU.

Since it is called the "graphics processing core", in the graphics processing scenario of "eating resources", the graphics card should be the absolute and only main force.

This is called the "core".

Zhang Ruiping was able to realize this, obviously he had two brushes.

But when he heard Zhang Ruiping hear Zhang Ruiping talk about Zhou Qiang's team again, he glimpsed the look of Zhang Ruiping looking at Zhou Qiang from the corner of his eyes...

Su Yuanshan immediately felt that it seemed that Zhou Qiang came here, which seemed to have caused resistance from the former Silicon General staff.

After realizing this, Su Yuanshan quickly played the alarm clock with what he saw, heard and conversations from entering the door until now, and then he became more and more confident in his judgment...

Judging from Zhang Ruiping's meaning, it is obvious that Zhou Qiang is a bit of annoying the normal R&D progress here.

...

After pondering for a while, Su Yuanshan raised his chin to Wen Xiaoqian, who was sitting on the edge: "Xiaoqian, close the door and let's have a small meeting."

After he finished speaking, the three people in the office looked at him at the same time.

After Su Yuanshan put down his notebook and looked at the three of them, he laughed: "We are all technically employed, including Mr. Jiang. We have not left the front-line research and development so far, so I have something to say."

"Three points. First, Brother Ruiping, your architecture idea is correct. Your understanding of GPU is also correct. I took back what I suggested to you to use the 3dfx architecture before. Instead, support your current architecture idea."

Listening to Su Yuanshan's opening and firmly supporting him, Zhang Ruiping was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists, and his face suddenly became flushed with excitement.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Finally, he held it in a long time before he put it in: "Thank you, Mr. Shan, we promise to complete the task!"

"Well, I was narrow-minded before, and I hope I won't be surprised."

After waving his hands with a smile, he said seriously: "The second point is why I suggest adopting the same architecture as 3dfx - because in the next two years, the competition for the graphics card market will enter a long-term, continuous and cruel process. This is not caused by the concept and technology upgrade of graphics card, but is determined by many factors such as pc, the Internet, games, and even the level of world economic development."

"If we can't enter the market as quickly as possible and get a cake, then when the brand effect appears - the brand effect has actually appeared now - we will be able to enter the market again, it will be difficult to reach the top."

"At that time, we may have to give up the mass market and turn to professional application scenarios - this will talk about the third point."

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips, looked at Zhang Ruiping and then stopped on Zhou Qiang's face: "It's a heterogeneous parallel computing solution."

"Heterogeneous parallel computing is the long-term vision of Pandora's laboratory for the future big data and artificial intelligence era, and it will surely come!"
