429: A monster with 5.9 billion transistors!
Chapter 428: The Monster with 590 Million Transistors!
It could be said that Intel's sales yesterday were probably no less than 250,000 CPUs. If Intel can maintain such sales, it would truly be bad news for Shuguang Technology.
Moreover, there's also an AMD Processor, which focuses on the low-end and affordable market, competing for the daily 630,000 share, which is even worse news among bad news.
At this moment, Lei Bu Si, the General Manager of Shuguang Technology, shook his head slightly and said:
"They probably can't continue to maintain daily sales of 200,000 CPUs, although I admit their multi-core performance is indeed stronger than ours.
But CPU sales cannot be judged solely on performance; they also depend on the supporting game ecosystem."
Speaking of the game ecosystem, that is truly the strong suit of Dawn CPU.
At this time, Lei Bu Si was truly fortunate that Shuguang R&D Center had spent heavily to acquire Unreal Engine.
Because after Shuguang R&D Center acquired Unreal Engine, it significantly modified and optimized Unreal 3 Game Engine.
They created a 3D model library to help game companies develop games better, not to mention that the subsequent usage fee for Unreal 3 Game Engine was only 1% of the total profit.
Finally, coupled with the Unreal 3 Game Engine's ultra-high portability feature, allowing a game developed with it to be released simultaneously on three platforms.
Many Global game companies also adopted Unreal 3 Game Engine as the basis for developing their new games.
So, at this time, Lei Bu Si could proudly claim that at least 60% of all currently developed 3D single-player games and online games are based on Unreal 3 Game Engine.
As for the remaining 40%, they are game engines developed by those single-player game and online game companies themselves.
There's no way around it; truly powerful game companies have their own game engines, and the performance of those game engines is no less than that of Unreal 3 Game Engine.
However, no matter what, it is a fact that 60% of the 3D games currently under development are based on Unreal 3 Game Engine.
Finally, considering that Unreal Engine Company, which controls Unreal 3 Game Engine, is also a 100% controlled company of Shuguang R&D Center.
Therefore, in terms of the game ecosystem, Shuguang Technology has an absolute advantage. After all, Unreal 3 Game Engine cannot deeply optimize Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology.
It will only deeply optimize Dawn Ryzen Processor's simultaneous multi-threading technology, deeply optimize Shuguang Graphics Card, and perfectly unleash the hardware's potential.
Under these circumstances, this software-level competition is quite unfair to Intel; it's practically outside interference, and it's also the advantage of Dawn Ryzen Processor!
At this moment, Huang Hua, the head of Shuguang Trading, sighed helplessly and said:
"No matter what, it's inevitable that their daily sales will break through 100,000 and reach over a hundred thousand.
After all, comprehensively speaking, their performance is not much different from our Ryzen Processor; they are processors of the same level as ours."
Upon hearing this, the people present fell silent, having to admit that what Huang Hua said made a lot of sense.
Given the powerful performance of Intel's Second Generation Core Processor at this time, it would be self-deception to say that their daily sales cannot reach over 100,000 units.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Intel's Second Generation Core Processor will pose a huge threat to Dawn Ryzen Processor.
At this time, Ni Guangnan sighed from the side:
"One can only say it truly lives up to Intel's name. I have to admit that their Pendulum Plan was indeed a brilliant plan.
Being able to launch the Second Generation Core Processor so quickly now, they must have simultaneously developed 90-nanometer and 65-nanometer Core Processors when the Pendulum Plan first began."
Upon hearing this, the people present nodded lightly, also feeling a bit helpless.
After all, Intel has money and can undertake two large R&D projects simultaneously, and you can't stop them, can you?
In response, Lin Chen did not speak at this time, but instead looked thoughtfully at the performance report and relevant parameters of the Second Generation Core Processor in his hand, murmuring to himself:
"The performance benchmark of this Second Generation Core i7 Processor is already the same as that of the strongest Q9650 Processor in the Core 2 Quad architecture back then."
In his previous life, the strongest processor in the Core 2 Quad architecture was released in 2008.
The Q9650 Processor of this Core 2 Quad architecture originally used 45-nanometer process technology, but in this life, it uses 65 nanometer process technology.
Although the process technologies used by both sides are different, the final benchmark scores are nearly consistent.
This shows that Intel is indeed Intel; when they get serious, their strength is quite formidable.
Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded lightly and then looked at other data. The first thing that caught his eye was the transistor count comparison.
The transistor count of this Second Generation Core i7 Processor is an astonishing 590 million transistors, which is 3.5 times the number of transistors in the Dawn Ryzen Processor.
Because the transistor count of the Dawn Ruilong R7 Processor is only 158 million, and their transistor count reached 590 million, what is that if not 3.5 times?
It can be said that this time, Intel truly maximized the leading advantage of the 65 nanometer process technology.
After all, they achieved the effect of the strongest Q9650 Processor from 2008 in the previous life, which used 45-nanometer process technology, by using 65 nanometer process technology.
How can Intel's technical strength not be praised? It can be said that this time, Intel truly squeezed out all the toothpaste.
However, the Dawn Ryzen Processor is also worthy of praise. Although the multi-core benchmark of the Dawn Ryzen Processor is a bit weaker.
But in terms of single-core performance, Shuguang Technology indeed defeated the Second Generation Core Processor, and considering that the transistor count of the Dawn Ryzen Processor is only a mere 168 million transistors.
While the transistor count of the opposing Second Generation Core Processor reached an astonishing 580 million transistors!
Shuguang Technology being able to achieve stronger single-core performance than the Second Generation Core Processor with 3.5 times fewer transistors is already quite commendable.
Therefore, in some aspects, Shuguang Technology's Ryzen Processor is more worthy of praise, more worthy of admiration, and more deserving of being called turning decay into magic.
At this moment, Lin Chen put down the report in his hand, turned to look at Ni Guangnan, and then asked:
"I hear Intel is developing its own X86-S Instruction Set Processor, is that right? What's the current situation?"
Hearing Lin Chen's question, Ni Guangnan nodded lightly and then said:
"Although Intel has not officially announced their relevant situation, based on our analysis and market intelligence, Intel is indeed developing its own X86-S Instruction Set.
And it is estimated that their X86-S Instruction Set is probably nearing completion. Currently, they are likely developing the Third Generation Core Processor based on the X86-S Instruction Set."
Upon hearing Ni Guangnan's words, the scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Because they knew where their Dawn Ryzen Processor's greatest strength lay. The reason their Dawn Ryzen Processor could achieve such high benchmark scores.
At least 60% of the reason was based on the X86-S Instruction Set, which had shed its historical baggage and become streamlined, efficient, and high-performing again.
