.

Ima and his partners are heading towards the exhibition center in the center of Berlin. The location is of course a joint manufacturing personal computer exhibition.

Although among the latest computer models launched by PB, Universal provides the most critical parts including processing chips, LCD screens, etc.

But in the eyes of Europeans, the whole machine is manufactured by PB, the fourth largest personal computer company in Europe, the hard drive is purchased by France, the motherboard is produced by Germany, including other peripherals, and also European products. Therefore, they all intentionally or unintentionally called this computer "joint manufacturing" instead of the name PB, which made it.

This is not surprising at all.

As for personal computer processor chips, before Universal launched its own Guoteng processor, the whole world used American chips.

European computer companies can't get into this market at all.

Even now, Intel's global market share has reached 71% and is the leader in the personal computer field.

Amd's processor is actually similar to Universal, and it always follows Intel due to the gap in production technology. Originally, Amd has a certain share in the low-end market, but the launch of Universal Guoteng processors has seized part of its share. In the global market, the two companies account for about 16% and about 10%.

There was also a Cyrix company, which had independent technical research and development capabilities, which were worse than those of Amd and Universal.

Moreover, Universal has always had a good reputation among global electrical appliance companies. Cyrix has been gradually marginalized in the competition for personal computer processors. Its current market share is less than 3% and is in a dying struggle.

Since there has never been a manufacturer of personal computer processors in Europe, there is no difference between using American chips and Chinese chips for European customers.

Therefore, in their minds, it is natural to exclude the processor from the computer configuration.

From this perspective, the Chinese ingredients jointly manufactured are only LCD displays. LCD products are the founding products of Universal Corporation and can become one of the accessories for computers. It is natural.

All other major components are produced by European companies.

So, from the perspective of Europeans, no matter how you look at it, this computer is an absolute European product.

This satisfied them very much.

To be ashamed, due to Europe's dependence on the United States during the Cold War, they had to pay a heavy price when they gained security.

Personal computer products are one of the land protection fees paid in Europe.

Motherboards, hard disks, memory, and almost all of these computer components are purchased in American products. The so-called European personal computer companies are just accessories purchased from the United States, East Asia and Japan for final assembly.

Even so, in the Western European market, American computer companies such as HP and Dell account for more than 80% of the market share, leaving European local companies with pitifully few.

Who says Europeans have no sense of national pride?

On the contrary, as the former center of world civilization, their sense of national pride is extremely strong!

Now, a "real" European-made personal computer is launched. Even if they don't buy it, they will definitely support it and cheer for their "own" personal computers.

Just like Eagle and his local friends, everyone made some money they earned during the summer work, and this time they decided to use it to purchase joint manufacturing!

In fact, in their opinion, there is no need to open this exhibition.

Even if the computers manufactured jointly have slightly worse performance, they can tolerate it.

Besides, from the bottom of their hearts, they are not so confident in the processors of Universal Corporation. If the display is screwed up, it will not only lose the face of the Chinese, but also the European ones. They feel the most faceless.

Before we arrived at the exhibition center, Eagle and the others were brought to the town by the crowded crowd on the road.

There were people heading towards the exhibition center everywhere. Due to the road blockage, many people got off the bus and walked, with proud smiles on their faces.

Eagle discovered that most of these people were teenagers over ten or twenty years old and half-aged.

As European teenagers born in the 1980s, before they could have a clear understanding of the world, the Soviet Union, which was once one of the two poles, had declined. They had never personally experienced the threat the Soviet Union brought to the free world.

They did not enjoy the benefits that the United States gave to Europe. They also at most slightly prefer the United States to the United States, but more of them are pride for their own country and nation.

This is the first personal computer with "pure" European ancestry, and domestic companies play a major role in it.

"First time", the word is always easy to make people excited.

Perhaps after the second and third times, they will be tired and rational about this. But at least this time, computer users across Europe, especially those born in the 1980s, came with the mentality of "even if they lose 1,280 dollars, they must support European products."

In Eagle's memory, the exhibition center is a large Romanesque building, with high stone steps and majestic columns, making it one of the iconic buildings in Berlin.

But now, he could not see the stone steps that climbed the exhibition center.

In front of him was a slope paved by the human body, rushing towards the exhibition center wave by wave.

Seeing this scene, Eagle felt both eagerly anticipated and a little nervous.

"Joint Manufacturing" must be a success for Europe, don't let Americans see our jokes!

With a complicated mood, Eagle patiently followed the person in front of him and slowly moved forward. He suddenly felt a little funny. How could he attend a computer exhibition? What could he see so many people?

After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that his friends around him were all squeezed out by the crowded crowd and didn't know where they went.

He was the only one left in the middle of the head that could not be seen.

The crowd was moving very slowly. The people in front of him formed a ball at the entrance of the exhibition hall, making waves of admiration, making the people behind him feel itchy and hard to scratch. But they didn't know what was good in front of him.

Christmas is coming, it's already very cold.

But with so many people huddled together, Eagle only felt sweating profusely, and the steaming geothermal heat was everywhere.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall, he understood why the people in front of him had been wandering and were reluctant to move for a long time.

At the entrance of the exhibition hall, two booths are set up on the left and right.

Each booth has two "bare metal" - no chassis, only a bunch of bare metals with loose parts.

There is a sign next to each bare metal, which indicates all the configurations of this computer.

Intel Ben3, 0.18 micron manufacturing technology, 1.13g main frequency, supports Intel multimedia instruction set!

Good guy, this is comparing Intel's latest processor! Eagle secretly felt sweaty about joint manufacturing. He was worried about joint manufacturing. In terms of processors, joint manufacturing is definitely not a match for Intel, an old processor manufacturer. This time I will be embarrassed!

Since Universal launched the Guoteng processor, global processor competition has become more intense.

Intel's processor updates are becoming more and more frequent, and computer users are both happy and painful about this situation. In order to overwhelm Guoteng chips, Intel has adopted many new technologies. Therefore, although users can use personal computers with better performance, their prices are also rising.

Take this Benz3 1.13g processor for example. Just a small piece of chip, the retail price has reached more than 600 US dollars!

The price of the combined machine is just doubled!

Igres glanced at the configuration next to him with some difficulty seeing, and felt that he seemed to be a thief. He didn't dare to look at it.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Guoteng's third generation, 0.145 micron manufacturing technology, 1.3g main frequency, fully supports the Universal multimedia instruction set!

There is an explanation next to it that this processor chip is temporarily fully supplied with joint manufacturing computers. After the production line is expanded, it will be open to retail to the market.

The estimated single-piece price is around 210 US dollars.

This is impossible. Isn’t it said that Universal’s manufacturing technology is not as good as Intel? Even if they have improved their production process, they have reached 145 nanometer technology. Is the cost lower than Intel, and so low?

He never thought that the high prices of electronic products in Europe were, in addition to workers' wages, the various patent fees collected were also the main reason why the prices of electrical products in Europe and the United States have never been higher.

For those electrical appliance giants, they can get a lot of money by charging patent fees.

All of the Guoteng processors of Universal Corporation are their own technology. They are produced and sold out by themselves. They do not need to pay expensive licensing fees like others. In addition, some special production methods, their prices are of course to an incredible low when compared with Intel's chips.

This is the main reason why Chinese electronic manufacturers are currently supplying more and more electronic products to the world, but their prices are extremely competitive.

Because they are all authorized to Universal!

The patent fees received by Universal Company from its own manufacturers are more than half lower than those of European and American products after conversion at exchange rates!

Eagle didn't care about reading the introduction of Intel's bare metal. He only compared the processor chips, and he already had great confidence in joint manufacturing.

What he cares about now is the motherboard made by German manufacturers.

In personal computers, the most important thing is chips and motherboards, which are directly related to the performance of the computer. Guoteng chips have shown strong power, so what about German motherboards?

The latest patented technology chipset fully supports 64-bit technology, global multimedia standard, and data transmission speed is one g!

My God, it’s awesome! It’s awesome! It’s a masterpiece of God!

Igel, who had poor words, could not think of other ways to praise God, and could only keep praising God.

When he was dizzy, he also noticed a special slot on the motherboard, which was used for graphics cards. This is different from the agp graphics card standard launched by Intel, but is an original technology.

The staff at the booth did not introduce it too much, but simply told people who also noticed this slot to Eagle and others, saying that this was manufactured by German motherboard manufacturers. Because the previous graphics cards used the data bus, they lag behind the ground bus design method while occupying bandwidth, which also limits the display effect.

Therefore, this motherboard designed by German motherboard manufacturers allows the processor to directly drive the graphics card, and the data exchange capability also reaches a g.

Due to the optimization of Guoteng's third-generation processor, the image display is also very different from before. After the main chip is calculated, the image is reproduced by the display chip. Instead, the graphics data is directly handed over to the display chip to calculate, which greatly alleviates the working pressure of the CPU and further improves the performance of the computer.

Hearing this, Eagle switched his attention from the motherboard to the graphics card.

The introduction of the graphics card is also simple, and he only understands one thing: this graphics card is also optimized for the global multimedia standard. Although the graphics card itself only has 16 megabytes of video memory, the new technology can transfer some data to the standard G memory for calculation of the entire machine, which at the same time greatly improves the display effect.

After seeing this, Eagle understood that this entire computer is almost completely optimized according to the global technical standards.

Is this the purpose of cooperation between Universal and European computer manufacturers?

He has no time to care about these things for the time being, but he has paid the greatest attention to the performance of joint manufacturing.

The actual test effect made Eagle excited and wanted to yell.

The performance of the combined manufacturing machine is nearly twice as fast as Intel's chips in terms of data calculation! In terms of 3D image display, the Intel machine is far behind!

This also shows that whether it is ordinary commercial use or gaming, the performance of joint manufacturing has an overwhelming advantage over Intel!

Even, it has excellent image display. It can also be used for small graphics workstations!

I can't believe it at all, how is this possible!

Don't know at all, the fifth edition of viewwww.piaotian.com.com    As early as 1995, when the first Guoteng chip was launched, Universal began to secretly rewrite the view to support the 64-bit technology. The rewriting work was not arduous. However, in order to ensure compatibility with the 32-bit technology, the software department conducted a lot of tests on this version and continuously improved the errors. It was not until two and a half years later that it quietly pushed it into the market in the name of the fifth edition.

With this version, Intel's chips have no bonus effect, but they will not be deliberately suppressed.

But if computer users use all computers based on global technology, they will find that the performance of this computer is so superior that it shocks them!

Moreover, since computers based on global technology can also use ordinary 32-bit software, users can easily mistakenly think that this is because Guoteng chips use 0.145 micron manufacturing technology.

Universal Company, the 0:145 craftsmanship, left a deep impression on everyone.

Eagle has been obsessed with the entrance of the hall and is reluctant to leave.

The display stand uses various test software to compare the performance differences between Intel's entire machine and joint manufacturing. Every time the results are displayed, they will win warm applause from the audience.

Although many people have seen it countless times, they still give the highest praise to the "our" computer with the greatest enthusiasm!

It's so exciting and so happy!

Eagle felt drunk and kept making silly laughs, but no one blamed him. Because many people, like him, had dementia smiles on their faces, and even saliva was about to fall off.

"Go away! The guy in front of the door, when do you want to see it?" The angry crowd behind began to accuse him loudly.

A stream of force surged forward, pushing the reluctant Eagle into the exhibition hall.

What a pity, I want to watch it for a while!

Iger, who was already in a state of confusion, turned over and wanted to return to the hall, but the abortion was holding him, allowing him to push him without touching the ground and walk towards the deeper interior exhibition hall.

Eagle's regret lasted for a short period of time, and he immediately discovered that the exhibition hall here was even more exciting.

Inside the exhibition hall are small compartments, with people lined up at the door of the compartment. Above the compartment floor is a large LCD screen of 45 inches. It shows the pictures of people and game in the compartment.

"This is Microsoft's era of empire? No, isn't the era of empire 2D, but this is obvious in 3D games!" Eagle was outside a compartment, looking at the big screen above, and his body was shocked.

After looking at it for a while, he confirmed that it was indeed the era of Microsoft's empire.

But he read that right. This is a 3D era of empire!

The players inside obviously have not adapted from the previous 2D game operations, and they are not very skilled in switching between panoramic and local perspectives.

The player likes to use the first perspective, manipulates a trencher and drops stones into the main city of the computer.

"Bang", the vibration sound of the trencher was played by the high-quality expander, and everyone who looked at the big screen seemed to feel a vibration on the ground.

The rocks were thrown into flames and hit the other party's city head hard. The large wall collapsed. The spectacular scene made all players watching the big screen calm and dared not speak out.

The player in the compartment enjoyed switching between the various troops, using a first-person perspective, and personally controlled the troops' charge.

The scene of thousands of horses galloping made everyone excited.

However, he also pursued this visual enjoyment too much and did not always use panoramic views to view his base.

When he captured a sub-base of the computer, his main city had already been broken by the computer. His troops were still bravely moving forward, and a prompt suddenly appeared on the screen, "You have failed!"

Amid the laughter of all the people in line, the player came out from inside without consent. Then he quietly lined up to the end of the line - although the team had been dozens of meters long!

So beautiful!

It’s worthy of being Microsoft. When did they launch the 3D era of empire?

Unfortunately, this version of the Age of Empires was not launched by Microsoft.

Due to the viewwww.piaotian.com.com of Universal, however, Universal continues to launch new operating system versions at a speed of one version every year, leaving Microsoft unchallenged.

Later, the frustrated Microsoft gave up its development work that was not worth the effort and turned to act as the general distributor and service provider of Universal Corporation.

Bill showed strong business ability and used various means to include the excellent software on the market in viewwww.piaotian.com.com     At the same time, Microsoft, who was unwilling to accept it, is also developing a real-time combat game based on viewwww.piaotian.com.com    The Empire Age was a real-time combat game they spent a year to create.

Microsoft's design team has no other work. It took a lot of effort to make this game look good, and in addition to the magnificent image effects, it also tries to take into account the user's computer performance.

But more importantly, they have absorbed the specialties of all the real-time combat games on the market, making this game very playable. As soon as it was launched, it won great praise from players.

The software subsidiary of Universal Corporation has exchanged shares with Microsoft. They also obtained the game code and improved it to support Universal Corporation's 64-bit technology and multimedia instruction set, and made a lot of adaptations for the latest motherboards and graphics cards to form the 3D version seen by Eagle.

Of course, Universal has no intention of depriving Microsoft of its last hope.

This game, in name, is still launched by Microsoft.

Recommended to users when selling machines.

There is no need to recommend it anymore, Eagle has decided now, he will definitely buy this game!

Such a fun game, you are fools who don’t buy it!

But after Eagle walked around the exhibition hall for a whole time, his expected purchase list immediately expanded to four games. Moreover, the following games are even more fun than the Age of Empires!

A game called "Raider" is also real-time combat, but it completely subverts the previous real-time combat games and the method of collecting resources.

The strategic nature of this game is far greater than that of ordinary real-time combat games.

It did not have a game method of building the building and then advancing forward. This game was not built. Once it was released, it would equip the party played by Wanjia with an equal number of troops according to the history of World War II.

Artillery, tanks, vehicles... Every unit is lifelike, exactly the same as in history.

Its gameplay also tests the player's strategic and tactical ability. If you want to lead the large army forward, the only result is that the entire army is wiped out!

To win, you must repeatedly consider every local tactic.

The players waiting here also felt that it was difficult to get started at first. But soon, they discovered the fun of this game, that is, balance, very balanced!

Whether it is a tank, infantry, or artillery position, in the game, no unit is useless, it depends on how the player arranges it.

Its 3D effect makes the game screen look even more grand, as if you are watching the actual scene of World War II!

The game also allows players to play every specific unit. This way of playing makes players even more excited and extremely excited.

In this game, there is another completely different thing from the usual real-time combat game, that is, strategic points.

At the end of the first game, the more units left in the remaining combat, the more strategic points the player gets. This in turn gives the player more summoning reinforcements in the next game.

This requires players to play every game conscientiously.

If the foundation is not laid in front, the game will become more and more difficult. When the Allied forces landed in Normandy, there will be only two or three kittens left in the German army, unable to withstand the fierce attacks of hundreds of thousands of Allied troops.

Before he could wake up from the surging artillery fire of "The Raid", Eagle was shocked by "Homeland".

In the full 3D game screen, Eagle was already a little numb, but when she saw the blurry outdoor space scenery in her home, the 360-degree rotation combat mode, and the laser beams and particle beams launched by thousands of space warships, Eagle's eyes were immediately stuck on the screen. She couldn't turn!

Several games are real-time combat games, but they can come up with so many new modes and give players new ways to play. This is amazing!

When he finally realized that all these games were carefully created by Universal, aiming at the 64-bit mode jointly manufactured, with super display acceleration effects and powerful multimedia functions, and suddenly realized.

It turns out it is Universal Company, no wonder!

In this world, the products produced in the world must be high-quality products!

Who can produce a better software work than Universal? This is simply impossible!

With unlimited expectations for Universal to launch the game, Eagle entered the final exhibition hall, which is also the largest exhibition hall in the entire exhibition hall.

This is a large exhibition hall of more than 1,000 square meters, but at this time it was like a free market, with countless people shouting loudly inside, so excited that they seemed to want to dance.

Iger briefly understood the game mode and immediately fell into madness.

This is an online game. A 3D online game, an online version of "Roman Empire"!

The scenery dwarfs the first 2D online game launched this year. Moreover, this game covers concepts such as construction and simulation management, allowing players to grow from an ordinary Roman citizen to a Caesar who ruled the entire Rome!

The concept of money makes management an important part of the game.

Players cannot get money from prey in the wild, but can only allow players to gain experience and increase their abilities. Management is the main source of purchasing medicines, healing, recruiting teams, and purchasing equipment. This expands the connotation of the game and gives the game greater vitality.

On the other hand, if the player only pays attention to his own exercise and ignores cultivating his own territory, he can at best become an excellent knight and work for others.

Because, in large-scale wars, no matter how strong the player's ability is, he can only be ten enemies, or at most dozens of enemies, but when facing the enemy, even if the player's ability is strong, he can escape at most one life and cannot win the war.

If the stand-alone version of "Age of Empire" launched by Microsoft allows players to play games from a macro perspective, then the online version of "Age of Empire" requires players to have both macro and micro perspectives, and switch at will to get the greatest enjoyment. If the player has excellent management capabilities, he can cultivate a huge army, and can also destroy cities and villages and enjoy the fun of the game.

My God, this is Universal Company!

How did their software designers do their brains? How could they come up with so many new ways to play?

This thought has been circling in Eagle's mind, and at the most critical moment of his game, it has not been eliminated from his mind. Instead, it has become more and more profound.

While working on his game character skills, Eagle is busy running a grocery store to make money.

He knew that he had become hopelessly supportive of Universal Corporation and could not extricate himself.

As for the personal computers that are jointly manufactured, is it still necessary to say?
Chapter completed!
