524: Chapter 523 Shared Computing Power? What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?
Amidst the crowd's shock, he casually clicked on a two-gigabyte RAW video file on the computer.
With a swipe of his finger, the photo was instantly transferred to the phone.
[Remember this site's domain: Taiwan Novel Network accompanies you in leisure, waiting for you to seek it out]
The video editing software on the phone screen opened instantly, and features like filter adjustment and real-time preview were extremely smooth.
"This isn't screen mirroring; it's computing power sharing. The phone can call upon the computer's GPU, and conversely, the computer can call upon the phone's engine."
Everyone in the audience was stunned; after all, they couldn't really understand these technical terms.
"We don't need to memorize technical terms. You only need to know that from now on, every one of your Transsion devices combined forms a single super terminal."
"Damn, this looks like Apple's ecosystem synergy, right?"
"Definitely, this is plagiarism."
"Don't even get me started on Apple's ecosystem. After using it for so many years, the latency still hovers around tens of milliseconds. Windows is even worse trash; its interconnection with Android requires third-party software, and it often lags or disconnects."
"This system is actually quite good. I'm tempted. When will the official version be sold?"
While the livestream chat was discussing this, Liu Zhihong opened the system settings to display the background applications.
On an old machine with 4GB of RAM, the boot memory usage was only 1.2GB, a full 35% less than Windows 8.1.
Most importantly, with 10 office applications, two browsers, and one video player running in the background of the Taishan System, switching between them remained silky smooth with no lagging issues.
"Besides that, you might be worried about the ecosystem of our new system, but rest assured. We have once again 'forcibly achieved compatibility with competitors,' and we have already completed the adaptation for most common software."
"The software performance even far exceeds similar products. There are also some niche software programs for which adapters haven't been developed yet, which might cause a performance loss of about 5%. However, common office, design, and industrial software can be used immediately upon installation without changing any habits."
"Of course, all applications for the Taishan System can be used directly, and most Android applications are also compatible. Watching short videos and playing games on the computer is exactly the same as on the phone."
The scene erupted.
Compatibility has always been the Achilles' heel of domestic operating systems.
It's not that no one has tried to create domestic operating systems before, but software has always been an issue.
Either they used exclusive software, or they relied on virtualization to run Windows applications, which often lagged to the point of being unusable.
Coupled with pirated Windows systems, domestic operating systems couldn't survive.
The Taishan System, just like the original Taishan phone system, directly forced compatibility with competitors, immediately solving the ecosystem problem.
Next, Liu Zhihong briefly introduced some technical safeguards; the official version has already been developed and is ready to be released at any time.
After the demonstration, Liu Zhihong retreated to the side of the stage, and Shen Fei appeared in the center of the stage once again.
"Thank you, everyone."
"Just as Liu Zhihong said, when I took over Transsion in 2008, we were already planning for the future."
"In 2009, we launched our first version of the smart operating system. In fact, what everyone didn't know is that we also simultaneously initiated the PC operating system project at that time."
"Later, my father-in-law, Zhang Shiqing, also asked these questions, saying that making a mobile operating system was enough, so why tackle the tough nut of the desktop side?"
At this moment, the Governor of Guangdong Province, Zhang Shiqing, sitting in the audience, looked at the stage with a puzzled expression. What the hell? When did he ask these questions?
But maybe he did; after all, it's been so many years, perhaps he misremembered.
"Because I know that a true ecosystem is never a victory of a single device. Phones, tablets, televisions, in-car systems, and PCs—if any link is missing, it's incomplete."
"Today, I can tell everyone that the final piece of the brand's puzzle has been filled in."
A panoramic view of the ecosystem appeared on the large screen; phones, tablet TVs, and in-car PCs—five endpoints were connected by the same data stream, forming a complete closed loop.
"Holy crap, this is Transsion? Far ahead!"
"The technology is truly awesome. As of now, all that's missing is a Transsion computer. When the time comes, I must experience this ecosystem properly..."
"Setting aside the facts, doesn't anyone think this is Transsion copying Apple?"
"To the person above, if you've already set aside the facts, then what is there left for us to discuss about life?"
Immediately after, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Shen Fei spoke again:
"The current Taishan System has many more features, but due to time constraints, we won't introduce too many of them here. But please rest assured, these functions are very fun."
"And everyone has also heard that we at Transsion will enter the PC market; this is not a rumor. We do have such a plan internally. Currently, the first computer has been built, and it is expected to be launched together with Bird's first product. It is expected to hit the market in August."
As the launch plan appeared on the big screen, the audience at the scene became excited once again.
After all, although Transsion has never made computers, its phones are very reliable, and with so many offline stores, maybe it really will be different.
Shen Fei was still on stage talking about other layouts, such as the upcoming adoption of self-developed CPUs...
As for the audience in the livestream, they were so shocked they didn't know what to say. After all, from the beginning of this press conference, they had felt one shock after another.
"It feels like Transsion is going to flip the table again. Microsoft has monopolized the Chinese market for so many years, and finally, someone capable has arrived."
"What's the use of being capable? Domestic manufacturers won't choose it, otherwise why would Transsion... why would they make their own computers?"
"He is simply popularizing domestic CPUs, domestic operating systems, and domestic graphics cards. The power to speak regarding computer graphics cards is also returning to the country."
"Don't be so absolute, the person above. It wasn't built in a day. They say professional and industrial software are compatible... but who knows if there will be bugs. Or can it only be used as an office system?"
This sentence instantly made the Lenovo Group feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and Boss Liu personally took charge at the company to begin coordinating marketing...
"Quickly suppress their popularity, otherwise our Legion series and other series will definitely be affected."
Yang Yuanqing was calmer: "Boss Liu, aren't you being a bit too anxious?"
"Not anxious? Shen Fei is even more terrifying than we all imagined. Now, as long as we make the slightest mistake, he will be able to swallow our market. Listen to me, keep a low profile for this period of time."
"Tell the field promotion teams to be more diligent, give more to the leaders; we cannot let Transsion shake our foundation."
Yang Yuanqing was even more shocked; he looked at Boss Liu in disbelief once again, but Boss Liu just nodded silently...
This matter needs no further discussion; relying on its impeccable pedigree, Transsion will certainly deal a certain blow to our market.
One can only hope the hints from above are not so explicit...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, at the Microsoft headquarters.
CEO Satya Nadella also watched the entire press conference, and those scenes that were deliberately concealed made him feel terrified.
Last month, he was still mocking Google, but he didn't expect that he would now also be involved in the game.
