Chapter 265 Kunlun Avalanche! Super core frequency that shakes the world! (2)
Gao Yuan faced the camera and smiled and said, "Seeing this semiconductor design drawing, industry peers should have discovered that Kunlun Avalanche is a typical super SoC design, with extraordinary integration, and many sets of core controllers are packaged in one chip."
"At the same time, Kunlun Avalanche has only four computing cores, which are far fewer than the products of the same era. Intel and Amd's server-level processors can often see thirty-two cores and even sixty-four core designs. Even civilian processors have already reached the level of eight cores."
"At this point, we have to ask a question, why are there more and more processors nowadays?"
"The answer is very simple, because the CPU has two core elements, one is the number of cores and the other is the operating frequency. When the operating frequency cannot be increased, expanding the number of cores has become the only choice for major manufacturers."
"In 2004, Intel was ambitious and announced that the Pentium 4th generation processor code-named prescott would reach an unprecedented 4ghz main frequency. However, Intel failed to do so in the end, and the frequency stopped at 3.8ghz. In the following years, the Intel processor's main frequency did not advance but retreated. It was not until the Core 4th generation code-named haswell that the main frequency really stood at 4ghz."
"There is no main frequency of broadcast, kabylake, coffeelake, and coffeelake. Let's put it this way, until today, Intel is still revolving around the 4ghz main frequency. In almost twenty years, the CPU main frequency has never broken through, and it has reached 5ghz at the top of the sky."
"To be honest, the CPU main frequency has not improved for 20 years. It is not that major manufacturers don't care, but that they don't have that ability."
"If they have the ability to pull the main frequency up, why did they come up with a 128-core design, such a stunning design?"
"The meaning of multi-core lies in handling multiple tasks at the same time. For ordinary consumers, who would listen to music, watch movies, play games, chat with their girlfriends, process video editing, and write codes? Impossible! We are humans, not octopus!"
Hahahaha~
The humorous speech on the plateau caused a lot of joy, and many of the audience laughed crazy.
After a pause, Gao Yuan continued: "I'm not saying that multi-core is meaningless. It's of course meaningful to be able to handle multi-tasks in parallel. It's just that I always want to accumulate the number of cores without considering the processor's computing speed. Is this really appropriate?"
"If you compare the processor to a car, a really good car should not only bring more cargo, but also run faster. This is a very simple truth."
"Together with the above, we have made three major improvements to the processor, first of which is highly integrated, adopting heterogeneous strategies, and loading as many coprocessing units as possible into a chip."
Speaking of this, Gaoyuan took out a stack of dozens of chips of large and small sizes, then scattered them all on the table, pointing to the scattered chips and said, "Originally, even if a computer needs to be installed so many chips, now we will gather them together and make them into a larger chip. This has great benefits."
"In the past, communication and interaction between two chips had to pass through data nodes, memory controllers, and pcb circuit boards, which was very troublesome. If they were integrated together, the distance would be closer, and the data exchange process between two different chips would be greatly improved."
"At this point, I want to talk about an unpopular knowledge. Everyone knows why capitalists like 996 so much. They squeeze employees' working hours at the limit and want to let their subordinates sleep in the office, but are unwilling to hire a few more employees to share the work?"
“Because of the information cost!”
"One person does one thing, just need to complete data exchange in the brain."
"If a group handles the same thing, it needs to convert the data into language or text and pass it to other members of the group. When other members receive your information, they must analyze and understand it, and then convert it into information in their brains."
"This is no longer a problem of trouble, but also easy to have comprehension errors. If two people have different thinking, they need to spend time communicating, coordinating, and finally reaching consensus."
"So the boss would rather work twenty-four hours a day alone and pay him three times four times five times the salary, than split a job to a group of people, because that would be more expensive and inefficient."
"Modern enterprises, especially intellectually intensive enterprises, will inevitably encounter such problems. So are we, Kunlun Group working overtime, and the whole world knows."
"But what you don't know is that when one of our scientific research projects is over, employees will be given a magnified vacation, starting from two weeks, and the longest may even reach more than one month. All the rest time that the previous project owes everyone is, and employees will be provided with air tickets and hotels to encourage them to go out and relax."
After hearing Gaoyuan's explanation, the audience was in an uproar.
The plateau stands in an absolutely rational position with a clear angle, and it reveals the essence of capital to exploit employees, which makes many people suddenly realize it.
At the same time, he also advertised for Kunlun Group, reminding the majority of scientific and technological workers that they are working overtime, but the result may not be the same. If you have the chance, please change jobs to Kunlun Group!
Before the audience could come back to their senses, Gao Yuan said: "The second improvement we have made to the central processor is called deep implantation of artificial intelligence."
"Looking at the blueprint, the huge npu in the upper right corner is specially prepared for artificial intelligence."
"Artificial intelligence is a program, but it is also a very special program with special algorithms. The best environment for running artificial intelligence is neither CPU nor GPU, but NPU specially designed for artificial intelligence."
"With this npu, Zero can settle down inside Kunlun Avalanche, focusing on handling various instruction sets and processing data compilation issues between chips and external environments."
When Gaoyuan talked about this, all the contempt on the faces of semiconductor practitioners had disappeared, turning into shock and shock.
Kunlun Avalanche not only uses super integrated soc, but also has built-in artificial intelligence, allowing the world's strongest artificial intelligence to zero, undertake data interaction tasks, and compile different instruction sets!?
"No! Artificial Intelligence Compiler!?"
"Is it really possible to compile all processor instruction sets? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
"Awesome! I just don't know how the compilation effect is?"
"Effect? Zero is the strongest artificial intelligence in the world. Do you guess the effect?"
"Hahahaha, since Boss Gao dares to come up with this technology, he must be absolutely sure! We must have confidence in him!"
"Well, guys, can you explain what this means?"
"That's right, we liberal arts students were confused."
"Simply put, Kunlun Avalanche has fully compatible attributes, which can be placed on a computer to process Intel's x86 instruction set, or on a mobile phone to process arm instruction set."
“The 3dnow and amd64 instruction sets are also OK.”
“Professional instruction sets such as risc-v, mips, ia64 are no longer a problem!”
"Don't ask, asking is omnipotent! The hardware-level artificial intelligence compiler is definitely not as simple as dealing with different instruction sets. How powerful and how powerful it is, it's unimaginable!"
Perhaps this is the world of straight men in science and engineering. People who understand are already excited, but people who don’t understand are still confused after listening for a long time.
From this point of view, Gao Yuan said that he was a serious science program, but it was really not a lie. Watching him live broadcast requires a certain amount of scientific literacy, otherwise he would often show a confused look on his face.
Gao Yuan finally concluded: "In short, it means full compatibility. The computers, notebooks, mobile phones in your home, projectors in the classroom, and navigation installed on the car can all be used in Kunlun Avalanche."
"We will launch products with different performance and prices to meet customer needs in different fields."
"Okay, let's talk about the third major improvement of Kunlun Avalanche."
"Third, we have greatly increased the frequency of the computing core!"
"Maybe you think the first two improvements are already very impressive."
"But what I want to say is that compared to the increase in core frequency, the first two items are too pediatric and can even be ignored!"
"Standard main frequency, 48ghz!"
"Yes, you heard it right. We have increased the main frequency of Kunlun Avalanche to ten times that of Intel and Amd!"
Pooh~
Washington, North America.
When he heard the numbers in Gaoyuan's mouth clearly, the president of Intel Group in the conference room tilted his body and almost spit out an old mouthful of blood.
