Arm has developed a new CPU with a total of 1.2 million transistors, with a computing rate of up to 33 trillion, basically reaching the computing rate of the new 80486 launched by Intel last year, but it is slightly lower than the latest 80486 chip launched by Intel in June this year.

That is to say, technically speaking, the CPU developed by Arm is half a generation lower than Intel's products.

But even so, arm is already very good. You should know that in the past life, China's whole country's efforts in developing processors was at least one generation lower than foreign countries. Of course, this is also related to the late start of China's processor research and development, slow development, and little investment.

In 2017, Intel's R&D funding reached US$13 billion, while the global total investment in semiconductor R&D was only US$34 billion.

Intel accounts for more than one-third of the company, which exceeds the sum of Qualcomm, Broadcom, Samsung, Toshiba and TSMC, which shows how much it attaches importance to high-tech technology research and development.

The subsidy received by Loongson in the mainland has only been 700 million yuan in more than ten years of R&D. Compared with Intel's investment, it is more than a thousand times different.

After the new CPU was developed, Xia Tian was also overjoyed and immediately ordered TSMC to try out the new CPU. At the same time, he ordered motherboard manufacturers such as Gigabyte and MSI to develop the motherboards required for the new CPU, and also ordered Genius Laboratory to transplant the operating system and application software of the new CPU and the new motherboard.

With the order, multiple companies and departments work together to cooperate. This is the advantage of systemic and one-stop industrial.

In comparison, although Loongson in the mainland has been developed, it still has to be controlled by others, and does not receive the most favorable support, so it is difficult to achieve large-scale promotion and commercial use. This is the disadvantage of not having a complete industrial system.

...

Xia Tian hopes that self-produced CPUs can compete with Intel, Amd, ibm, etc. in the fields of personal computers, servers and supercomputers.

Although this is not easy to do, Xia Tian still did not give up hope.

Because he knew that if he didn't work hard now, he would be farther and farther in the future. On the contrary, if he started working hard now, even if he was behind at the beginning, he might be able to surpass him in the future.

Just like the chips of arm, it was far inferior to Intel and amd's chips at that time. However, with the research and development and promotion of smart devices, arm chips have come from behind and become the most widely used chip in the world, leaving Intel and amd behind.

What's more, Intel and Amd chips have not truly unified the world. In the early 1990s, many companies were developing their own chips, such as Motorola, Apple, HP, Sun Microelectronics, etc.

Their chips also have their own advantages, and are seizing the market with Intel and Amd. So in this chaotic era of competition for power, it will undoubtedly be much easier for arm chips to overtake.

...

Entering August.

After dozens of days of fierce confrontation in the Russian presidential election, Ye Liqin was finally elected as the first president in Russian history with a support rate of 57.4%.

As soon as the election results came out, the whole world was attracted by it.

In fact, many people expected Ye Liqin to win the election.

Because Ye Liqin had a very high public reputation in Russia. This was due to his strict style and his iron fist to rebel, and he once defeated many big rats, so he won the support of most Soviet people.

People chose him as the Russian president, hoping that after he came to power, he could eradicate corruption in corruption, eliminate those privileged classes, and improve people's lives.

However, when the Soviet Communist Party faced such a high level of support, he did not take effective measures to suppress him. Instead, he sat down and watched Ye Liqin give speeches everywhere, delivered a speech, mobilized the people, making his support more and more.

So Ye Liqin's election was almost a foregone conclusion. So after the results were announced, the whole world was not surprised.

What they are concerned about is how Ye Liqin will get along with the Soviet Communist Party after he comes to power. Will he shake hands and make peace, or will he fall apart and fight.

And his choice will determine the fate of the Soviet Union, the only two superpower in the world, and the future direction of the entire world.

...

Xia was also very concerned about the situation in the Soviet Union because it was related to his investment in the Soviet Union.

After discussing with the mainland at the beginning of the year, Xia Tian sent people to the Soviet Union for investigation.

Minerals, water sources, forests, land, etc. are all what he wants.

The mainland needs the Soviet Union's high-tech, cutting-edge weapons, outstanding talents, etc.

Unfortunately, although the Soviet military and heavy industries were very developed, they were not at all inferior to the United States. However, the light industry and civilian industries were very backward. Therefore, it is impossible to dig out some light industry technology in the summer, but light industry talents are impossible, which is a pity.

Unlike last year when Fusang's economic decline, summer took a lot of benefits. For example, Fusang's Ziseido Cosmetics Company, which had decades of technology, reputation and talent accumulation, took him away in just a few billion Hong Kong dollars. Kakukawa Bookstore, a publishing giant, and one of the five major film companies in Fusang, was also taken away by him for a small amount of money.

"Fortunately, I sent people to do it in June and finally got on the car before he was elected." Seeing the news that Ye Liqin was successfully elected and announced his inauguration as President of Russia, Xia Tian smiled at the corner of his mouth.

...

August 10th.

Ye Liqin officially took office as the first president of Russia. In his policy speech, he said that "violating reforms are the essence of the president's policy."

This indicates that Russia may face major changes in the future, perhaps by leaving the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, or leaving the social camp and transforming into a capitalist country.

But it is not clear which type he is referring to, but it is enough to arouse people's thinking and worry.

Xia Tian could probably guess what Ye Liqin was referring to, but he knew that this would not be of any benefit to Russia in the future.

Ye Liqin's reform pace was too fierce. The "shock therapy" he implemented not only did not save the Russian economy, but instead put it on the verge of collapse.

Not to mention that heavy industries such as arms and weapons have stagnated, even light industries cannot meet the needs of the people, resulting in soaring prices and falling into trouble for people's lives.

At that time, a group of people in China seized business opportunities and sold small commodities from the mainland to Russia and earned a lot of foreign exchange. These people were called "debtors", and were one of the first people engaged in transnational trade during the reform and opening up of the mainland. Among them, the most powerful of the debtors was the one who exchanged hundreds of canned cars for four passenger planes.

However, Ye Liqin's reforms are not good for Russia, but for speculators like Xia Tian, ​​it is a good opportunity to make a fortune.
