Chapter 201 (1/2)

”What's the matter?” All three were startled.

Percy has always been known for his steadiness. Why did he suddenly have such an excited expression?

”The chip of this microprocessor is well designed!” Passy said excitedly: ”I roughly calculated that even without the GPU of imagination technology, the performance of our ARM7 series chips can be improved by at least 30%. If the GPU of imagination technology is added, we can definitely compete with the ARM9 series being developed! The key is that the cost of this chip will be much lower than ARM9! ”

”You mean... Our efforts over the past two years have been in vain?” Redillo gaped.

”Of course not!” Percy shook his head. ”If the ARM9 series technology is mature, the gap in the chip design of this young man will be widened because of various materials and operation schemes... I mean that his chip is definitely the first in the industry for at least a year, and there is no stronger microprocessor CPU than it!”

”Then, is it possible for us to learn from it?” Fisher's mind moved.

”How can this be?” Percy refused without thinking, and looked at him unhappily. ”Fisher, you are also a technician. How can you think of such a thing as stealing other people's ideas?”

”Even if he wants to do so, it is impossible.” ”What did Fisher stop you from writing?”

Fisher put his eyes back on the copy paper and read it word by word: ”U.S. patent and Trademark Office, electronic chip patent application No. 25368... Ship! Why is this boy so crafty? ”

People have even applied for a patent. If arm dares to do it according to Xiao Qi's idea, it is absolutely the same. It will be punished to wake up crying in his sleep.

Fisher, who gave up the idea, put down the copy paper with a bitter smile. ”I have no way. What do you think I should do? Carlos, tell me. ”

Carlos replied timidly, ”I think the GPU of imagination technology should be better. Can we use it? At most, we'd better charge more. I saw it. He has a cash deposit certificate issued by Citibank, at least more than 100 million US dollars. ”

”No, No.” The one who refused this time was Percy. ”Don't think about it. Those people in Cambridge will never do this. If they want to add the GPU of imagination technology, it's better to kill them.”

Technical people always have a bad temper and have their own persistence. They generally don't look back when they hit the south wall.

But it is this persistence and persistence that will enable them to succeed and burst out the inspiration spark of scientific creation.

The grudge between arm and imagination technology is not a day or two, but has accumulated for many years. If arm loads the GPU of imagination technology on its own CPU chip, doesn't it admit that its GPU is doing very badly?

”But he offered a sky high price of 10 million!” Rediro said reluctantly: ”with the promise of at least 30 million films, we are likely to earn 50 million US dollars from this project. This is not a small sum!”

”What can I do?” This time it's Percy's turn to smile bitterly. ”I can't even convince those people in the core laboratory. Fifty million dollars can't make up for the trauma caused by the loss of self-esteem.”

”What on earth should we do?” Carlos said, ”it's a pity to give up this business.”

”Come on, let's go and talk to him.” Rediro turned his eyes and said, ”I hope we can find a way to satisfy both of us.”
