Chapter 264: Xinghai First Generation Computer

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wang Danian, male, 29 years old; a digital product enthusiast with a wealth of knowledge on the subject..

He had been paying attention to Xing Hai Technologies for a long time. He could be described as a “Xing fan”. He had purchased all the products by Xing Hai Technologies, including the Wa-wah robot and the Bang Bang robot. He even bought the Little Star learning machine that he had no use for. After experiencing the product, he gave it to his nephew who was in junior high school.

Even his mobile phone, was also a “Guomi 2” that was equipped with the Star Cloud operating system.

Although these products were good, they were not what he most wanted.

As a rather famous copywriter in the tech circles and someone who wrote science and tech copies for a living, he was yearning for a 100% domestic computer. He wanted to use a domestic made computer to develop his work.

In fact, he had bought a Longxin notebook and used it for a while. But the performance was too poor and resources for the application were too limited. He could not find the information he wanted. Thus, he had no choice but to “retire” it.

He had concluded that 100% domestic made computers would take a long time to develop.

However, this time round!

He harbored considerable expectations for Xing Hai Technologies’ upcoming “Xinghai First Generation” computer.

To be more accurate, he has been paying attention to the progress of the project since Xing Hai Technologies had announced that it would be starting a project to develop an independent operating system with plans to produce to be a domestic computer 2 years ago.

He did not expect that they would achieve results so quickly.

“The all new self-developing Weaver Girl architecture perfectly combines the major dual features of low power consumption and high performance. It is more advanced than the X86 architecture by one whole generation.”

“The CPU also functions as the GPU. Users don’t have to pay a high price to buy a separate graphics card. The game performance is equally strong.”

“Xuanyuan operating system is the first kind system that allows all users to find an operating mode that they love. It has an extremely high degree of freedom, a rich variety of software, and a powerful compatibility. It will make you forget all other operating systems.”

“History will change on March 15th!”

These comments posted by Xing Hai Technologies in its official Weibo account caused Wang Danian to become more excited and his sense of anticipation to increase.

“Stop bragging!”

“You’ll be blown away by all that hot air!”

“Even Longxin doesn’t dare to brag like this.”

“We need at least twenty years to catch up to the foreign countries in the field of personal computers. Be more realistic.”

In the comment section below Weibo post, there were plenty of criticisms and netizens throwing cold water in the comment section below the post. Many netizens advised Xing Hai Technologies to act a more low profile manner. Make a product realistically and honestly. The company should get rid of their tendency of bragging.

However, Wang Danian believed that Xing Hai Technologies would be able to achieve it.

One, he knew a lot of insider information as a veteran blogger in the technology circle.

Two, every boastful claim made by Xing Hai Technologies since its birth had been successfully realized. Not a single “Xing” fan had been disappointed by the company.

Hence, Wang Danian gradually became a hardcore “Xing” fan.

And at this moment, most of the 100,000 audience who had entered the Shanghai Stadium in succession were hardcore “Xing” fans. A small number of them were even fanatical fans.

8 pm sharp.

The lights at the stadium dimmed.

The booming of the music sounded.

The launch event had officially begun.

Everyone’s focus, including Wang Danian’s, was on the stage.

Of course, they would first play a VCR according to the convention – “Why do we have to make domestic computers and systems”

Hence a big table appeared in the video. There were multiple computers placed on the table... Some of these computers were installed with Windows and some used the CPUs by Intel.

The narrator said: “Perhaps everyone has guessed what we are about to do. Yes, we are going to help our competitors to find some bugs again.”

“Our testing organization has conducted a number of rigorous tests on many foreign CPUs. It is confirmed that there are multiple redundant modules with unclear functions. We have also found that there are more than 20 undisclosed commands, including those in encryption and decryption and floating-point operations. Of which, there are three commands that can cause the machine crash or restart even in the user mode. The mechanism directly penetrates various software protection measures. The protection software cannot detect that a command had been embedded in the ordinary applications that can make the system crash.”

“In addition, there is a ‘zombie command’. Its activation can be set up in advance. Once the command is activated, the CPU immediately stops working and cannot be recovered.”

“Now, for the Windows operating system. After many days of troubleshooting by our senior programmers, we have found 33 major loopholes in the win7 system and 227 loopholes in the win107 system. Win11 system also has numerous loopholes. In addition, these systems will collect all the data of users. Moreover, they can access any computers through the remote control program... Of course, this cannot be called a loophole, but a way to better serve the users. You had checked the consent option when the Windows system was activated.”

“I just don’t know if you had been willing to hand over your data and be remotely accessed at any time?”

“In addition, there are similar problems with Fruit computers...”

Fuck!

Many of the audience were swearing after they watched this VCR.

Even knowing that this was the usual tactic by Xinghai Technology’s to blacken the names of their competitors, the large numbers of backdoors and loopholes were still shocking to everyone and caused their blood to run cold.

Some of the audience had brought along their computers. They nearly threw their computers on the ground.

Wang Danian shook his head and smiled: “This is a time-tested trick. Even if it is old-fashioned, it still produces very good effects.”

At this moment.

Chen Jin, who was dressed in a pair of jeans and a gray sweater went up to the stage with an in-ear microphone and a laser pointer.... Of course, this was only his double. The real Chen Jin was remotely controlling the double from Junting Grand Court.

The staff carried the product that was to be released, the Xing Hai First Generation computer (one desktop version and one laptop), onto the stage for a live demonstration.

However, the audience was most concerned about the various performance parameters of the core CPU.

Chen Jin held up the ‘Qinglong First Gen’ CPU in his hand and began to explain.

“I believe that everyone’s first impression of this desktop CPU is the same as mine – that it is big, very big.”

“As a quad-core CPU, one of its cores is equivalent to a complete Intel CPU. It could be described as the single largest core in history.”

“Since the CPU is so big, will it have a very poor power consumption? Will it become a veritable stove?”

“Actually, its TDP is only 160 watts due to the use of the most advanced Weaver architecture. Moreover, with such a large heat dissipation area, the heat can be suppressed using ordinary air cooling methods.”

“The 22 nanometer production technology with a 3.2GHZ frequency..... I have to admit that this is one or two generations behind the most advanced CPUs abroad. However, as we have used the most advanced architecture, it was able to achieve a score of 145,000 points on the entertainment master running benchmark. This performance is on par with the i7-8700K. It is only about 160,000 points from the most advanced iX-9900K... In other words, its performance is equivalent to half of the iX-9900K.”

“Please give us some time. We will reduce this gap soon. And we will definitely pull ahead of them!”

“In addition, our CPU also has a special feature thanks to the new Weaver Girl architecture. Our CPU can also act as a GPU!”

“In specific graphics operations such as games, the Qinglong first generation CPU can redistribute the use of transistors, convert most of the memory and control units into computing units, before recombining them into a powerful GPU! The image computing process can effectively utilize more than 90% of the computing power.”

“In the process of conducting tests on the graphics operations, we’ve found out that this CPU has a running score of up to 160,000. Its overall performance is equivalent to the GTX1060!”

Chen Jin explained, “This is another powerful GPU!”

The staff was on operating the product from the sidelines. He tested the running benchmarks of the desktop twice. It came in at 148,000 and 146,000 points respectively, which was not too different from what he said.

At this instant, the 100,000 live audience and the countless viewers of the live stream were extremely surprised.

“This Weaver architecture is amazing!”

“The CPU can really be used as a GPU.”

“It’s equivalent to GTX1060. I can play survivor games without buying a separate graphics card now, this will save me a lot of money.”

Wang Danian was very excited too. The Xinghai computer possessed a great competitive advantage simply based on this one feature. It could be said to be a major selling point.

But it was useless if only the hardware was good enough to blow the consumers away.

The product had to be complemented with an excellent operating system to fully bring out the full prowess of the hardware.

Therefore, Chen Jin spent more than two hours on the grand introduction of Xuanyuan operating system!
