Chapter 307 The difference between the two
The first product was a sound card.
Compared with the first generation product launched by Innovation Company, it is a 16-bit sound card.
What the sound blaster cards launched by Innovation Company can do is to "make the computer speak". The richness and roundness of the sound, as well as the imitation of various sounds, are all very different.
However, this sound card launched by Infinite Company uses sixteen-bit complex sounds and achieves quite good results in synthesizing human voices, animal onomatopoeia, and electronic sounds.
The operating system and sound card are both launched by Infinity Company. How to maximize the performance of the driver and combine the two to the best extent is naturally not a problem for them.
This is the main reason why some users have purchased Sound Blaster cards, but the results are still not very satisfactory.
As soon as the reporters heard Bill introducing the sound card, they immediately understood it.
What is placed in the other box is naturally a video card!
Indeed, as they guessed, there is a video card inside the box, but this video card is also an independent graphics card.
Infinite Company's view operating system can show superior performance during demonstrations and shine in multimedia, in addition to the performance of the software itself.
These two hardware cards deserve the most credit.
Its greatest achievement is that it reduces the burden on the CPU processor and transfers audio, video, and graphics data to specialized processors for processing.
In this era, personal computers with originally weak performance can also run under the effect of multimedia.
This is not a simple matter of making audio and video independent, but an epoch-making initiative.
Its emergence represents the advent of the real multimedia era!
In order to launch this set of auxiliary equipment, Infinite Company spent a lot of money to purchase the copyrights of many movies and animations from major film and television companies in the world.
Use software to stimulate hardware. Accelerate the hardware standards of Infinity Company and become a standard accessory for computers.
Bill quickly announced quotations for these two hardware devices.
The reporters at the scene became excited when they heard the price: the sound card only cost ninety-eight dollars!
Graphics cards are slightly more expensive because they integrate video playback functions and image display.
The quote is: two hundred and ninety-nine dollars!
The total adds up to less than four hundred dollars!
Such a low price is really irresistible!
It’s just two days’ worth of income for the middle class in America.
Some reporters also expressed doubts about whether these two devices really have the effect that Bill boasted.
Bill smiled confidently and called a staff member on the spot to bring out a brand new bare machine.
Everyone can clearly see that this is an ordinary HP computer, using an Intel Pentium 4 processor.
Windows is also installed inside
As soon as the staff turned on the player, the reporters who were crowded around hurriedly backed away.
Zizzi~
The sound is too harsh!
The animation plays like a slide show, and it’s so laggy that it’s impossible to watch it!
Bill made a gesture, and the staff immediately stopped playing and shut down the computer.
He took the sound card and graphics card out of the box, inserted them into the computer's expansion slot, checked that the connections were normal, and pressed the power button again.
restart.
The same file was played, and everyone had a smile on their face.
One reporter applauded gently, and later, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Multimedia! This is the real multimedia era!
Without any hesitation, reporters who had purchased Infinite's operating systems asked to purchase these two products on the spot.
When a small trolley rolled out a mountain of sound cards and graphics cards, everyone rushed over like crazy, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would lose their share.
Only when they calmed down from the heated atmosphere of the venue, they suddenly discovered that the operating system, sound card, graphics card, including the LCD monitor used for playback, were all closely related to Infinity Company.
Could it be that Infinite Company intends to occupy every electronic field and become the king of high-tech fields?
This is too unacceptable!
This is America, not China!
The only thing that gives them some peace of mind is the sound card and graphics card. After all, these two are still peripheral accessories of the computer.
Even if Infinite Company occupies these two commanding heights, they can still barely accept it.
But if Infinite Company continues to be as stubborn as before and attempts to enter the field of computer chip manufacturing.
Then, they decided that they would do whatever it takes to explain the dangers to the public, and they would never allow Infinite Corporation to intervene in the U.S. semiconductor market.
Bill seemed to understand what they were thinking. He smiled and raised the sound card and graphics card in his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, many of you have a deep understanding of current semiconductor technology.
"So, can you tell me what level our integrated circuit manufacturing process has reached now?"
The reporters didn't understand what he meant and started talking among themselves.
Someone said: "It's about 0.5 microns, right?"
A knowledgeable person immediately corrected him: "No, the Pentium 4 processor uses 180 nanometer technology. Now more than a year has passed, it should have reached 120 nanometers."
Someone else said: "This refers to commercial use. If it refers to the laboratory alone, it should reach 68 nanometers."
Bill smiled broadly, nodded repeatedly, then pointed to the sound card and graphics card of Infinite Company and said: "So, do you know what the manufacturing technology of these two products is?"
He didn't wait for the reporters to answer, and said: "It's 260 nanometers!"
Two hundred and sixty nanometers?
Many reporters breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
It turns out that the technology of the Chinese people is not good enough. Currently it is only equivalent to the level of a Pentium 4 processor.
Intel is preparing to launch a new generation of processors.
By then, the performance will be even more powerful!
What they didn't expect was how much effort the Infinity Company's researchers had expended in order to stably achieve a manufacturing precision of 260 nanometers and make cheap computers affordable to most people.
Moreover, this is also the closest China's high-precision semiconductor manufacturing technology has come to commercialization to the world level so far.
They just need to understand that if there is real competition, the Chinese are far from their opponents.
This is enough.
A reporter was on the spot and shouted unscrupulously: "Bill, we all know that you have made a huge sacrifice, but you can't watch the Chinese fool us with such a poor product!
"Let them open up the technology of these two products! If such a simple product allows Chinese people to make money, what face do we have?"
"Yes, if we use our American technology to manufacture these two products, we will definitely achieve better results. Bill, we have always supported you, don't let us down!"
Many reporters shouted loudly, ignoring the technical staff of Infinity Company present.
Lu Zhanhai and other Infinity software engineers stood aside with livid faces.
Only now do they know why Chen Weidong was always cautious and treading on thin ice when entering the American market.
Americans talk about freedom, but in fact, their own national pride is extremely strong.
They don't see others being better than them. If they can use tricks, they use tricks to defeat their opponents.
If it doesn't work, they will use force.
