Chapter 378 A certain song that sharpens the knife

  In addition to Rebus's press conference, Golly and Haier also gave corresponding explanations simultaneously, and also directly prepared to launch products with program improvements.

   is still actively researching and developing new home appliances and even robots that can be strengthened after joining the Red Queen+ system.

  However, it has to be said that Wheat was able to start out as an OEM and make a sudden breakthrough, and it does have its own uniqueness in marketing capabilities.

   At the press conference, Rebs, a legend in the domestic investment industry, still brought enough emotion and motivation.

  At least after the baptism of the press conference, the whole is looking forward to this smart home, and wants to try it!

  TV channels can be converted directly and easily, and those with fees can also be automatically screened.

   There is also the "garbage recognition" function of the sweeping robot, and precise locking. These capabilities really make people feel experienced.

   Indeed, as Wheat said at the press conference, with Red Queen+ as the core, it will be possible to develop home robots with more functions in the future!

  The battery problem is solved, the smart problem is solved, and now the structural problem needs to be solved.

  Yes, biped robots are very troublesome, and there are thresholds for balancing.

But similar to the sweeping robot, it is possible to use rollers or multiple legs. The center of gravity is lowered, and some other tools are added to it. If it is really feasible, some simple maintenance will be done in the future, such as changing light bulbs and vacuuming. , Even cooking and homework may be replaced by robots!

   As long as there is an Internet connection...

  However, because of the popularity of Red Queen+, companies such as Microsoft, Song, Guoguo, IBM, and Intel quickly noticed another difference.

  The functions provided by Red Queen+ are too powerful and comprehensive. This is not just pure text communication, although Umbrella has its own cloud processing center and supercomputer.

  But if it is fully promoted to all aspects, it is still not enough!

  Because not every company is a product of the standard module, they all need a response that is appropriate to the site, or a response that requires actual operation, and the required data processing adds up too much.

this…

  How many chips did they secretly produce?

  Before Umbrella mainly promoted their "White Queen" chip, which was based on the ARM architecture. The ARM architecture is characterized by low power consumption, but its performance is completely inferior to Intel's X86 architecture.

   Not to mention GPUs that specifically focus on computing power, such as Nvidia's RTXAmpere architecture is quite excellent.

   There is also the AMDBulldozer architecture used by supercomputing chips.

After Umbrella was sanctioned by the chip, he entered a "black box" state. Knowing that they are capable of processing chips with a 14nm process, they are already the first echelon in the world, and their DUV lithography machine is more efficient than ASML. stronger.

  But the sudden expansion of such a large amount of money can only show that the accumulation of chips saved by Umbrella far exceeds imagination. Is this excess computing power?

  Because of the patent rights exchanged with each other when EDA was strengthened, Umbrella can use many classic architectures and can update and iterate by himself.

  Different from selling mobile products, Umbrella does not sell chips and servers, and has no idea about the computing status of their cloud processing.

   It just looks like now, I'm afraid the situation is a bit beyond expectation...

  …

  In a song laboratory, a 53-qubit quantum computer called 'Platanus' has been born ahead of schedule.

  The eyes of the researchers were filled with excitement.

   "It finally came out! Combined with the previous quantum algorithm, there should be a chance to combine with our supercomputing."

   "Once the quantum + supercomputing model is successful, it will also have a huge increase in the field of artificial intelligence. Relying on the basic algorithm of artificial intelligence at the beginning, I think there is a chance to approach or even reach the level of Red Queen."

   "However, 53 qubits are still a little short. The cumbersome conversion of mathematical tools during connection may also lead to a certain reduction in supercomputing power..."

   "After all, it's just a prototype machine for practice."

   "..."

  The plane in front of them is just a prototype for verification. It has many shortcomings, such as reliability and error rate.

  Because of the limitations of quantum computing, the applicable scenarios are also limited.

  However, in terms of its own specialties, "Platanus" has surpassed the world's top supercomputer hundreds of times.

  The entire quantum computer looks like a machine frozen in a refrigerator, using superconducting materials, and the overall structure looks very complicated.

Originally, for the time being, quantum computers at this level can only be used to do some specific things, but after Wang Yi's magic number conversion algorithm was taken out and everyone verified it together, in addition to Wang Yi himself getting more, they also found Some simple ways to use connections.

  It is only temporarily speaking that if the combination of "Platanus" and supercomputing is combined, it is actually due to the error in the calculation and the waste of computing power when the two parties are connected, which leads to the actual decline in computing power.

   But at least the connection process they are testing now is no problem, and the next step is to continuously improve the reliability and the number of qubits.

   It is expected that when the qubit reaches 100, you will be able to gain a positive bonus, and all subsequent increases will be earned.

"This is an opportunity for us to overtake. We must continue to apply for funding, and we need more funding! And if it is possible to recruit Professor Wang, no, just ask him to give a few more lectures and publish some papers." That's fine too."

  A technician was scratching his head, and felt that he was about to break through some parts of the problem, but it was just a little bit short.

  No doubt, that great mathematician can definitely solve it!

  But at this moment, the person in charge who went out to the meeting before came back with a smile on his face.

   "Everyone, don't worry about the funding issue. Just let it go. I have received news before that Congress has passed a subsidy bill. Our subsequent research funding will be secured, and we will increase investment."

  As soon as these words came out, the morale of everyone who was already high because of the birth of the first quantum computer was shocked.

  So generous?

   Really rare!

  But they will remind them if they should

   "Based on the relationship between Professor Wang and Umbrella, when they proposed this algorithm for discussion, I think Umbrella may also be working on quantum computers, and everyone knows their technology, so don't be careless."

  Hearing this, the person in charge smiled triumphantly

"ASML has developed the latest EUV lithography machine, and AMD and Nvidia have also introduced chip structures with higher computing power. At that time, we can build stronger supercomputers, so what we need to overcome now is quantum computers. Part, now that the prototype has appeared, the theory is feasible, the rest is to increase the qubits and computing power, we have an advantage!"

The current quantum computing, even with the latest magic number formula, must have the cooperation of supercomputing to maximize efficiency. Now that EUV lithography machines have come out, they will be able to take the lead in the field of supercomputing, walking on two feet and surpassing security. Bray!

  Even if Umbrella’s quantum computer has certain advantages, it cannot make up for the gap. After finishing speaking, he said with emotion

"Actually, we still need to thank Umbrella, because they have shown the practical business prospects of artificial intelligence. If they have enough profits, they will have enough motivation. When the time comes to block their technology, we will use the EUV lithography machine to make more Advanced chips, we are left to monopolize, and now our main competitor is actually IBM, and they have made quite a lot of achievements in this regard."

   ASML's EUV lithography machine has entered mass production ahead of schedule due to the upgrading of lens technology.

  Now the common technology of chips is still at 14nm, and Umbrella has indeed mastered this technology, but it is not so simple to update the lithography machine!

  A completely different track, just relying on the second-rate equipment you bought from Neon before is not enough!

   You must know that there is still a gap between Umbrella's DUV lithography machine and ASML's in the limit.

  DUV you can play tricks, EUV lithography machine is hard power!

   This is internal strength, and there is no way to achieve it in one step.

  EUV lithography machine is the crystallization of various technologies. They continued to use the original DUV lithography machine to reach 7nm, even because of the problem of precision limit.

   And the EUV lithography machine can almost reach the physical limit of silicon-based chips!

   At that time, the generation gap can be gradually pulled out, and then slowly replaced!

"Once Damei gets serious, Umbrella will find himself against the whole world. They have discovered the 'magic power' and found a way to use it. It is great and amazing, but they cannot use this advantage to overwhelm the whole world." After all, there are still shortcomings in the field. To put it bluntly, "magic power" is just a kind of physical law that has not been discovered before, and now it has been discovered..."

   Second update~
