Chapter 495: P means ordinary C means super strong
How many competitors are there at this price of 4888¥?
Quest 2 is the second-generation independent virtual reality helmet from Facebook. The first-generation quest virtual reality helmet was released in 2019. It achieved great success in the market and even won the award of "Best Product of the Year".
It is very popular abroad, but there is no room for Facebook and overseas shopping in Daxia, so sales are sluggish, and the highest grade can be obtained for about 4,000 yuan.
And what configuration is it?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 64GB / 256GB storage, the highest display resolution is 1832 x 1920 per eye, and the initial refresh rate is only 72hz at startup.
Can this data beat Suiren's K1?
Does it deserve it?
It doesn't deserve it! It's not on the same level at all.
But last year, the total sales of Facebook's second-generation helmet reached 10 million units. So how will K1 perform?
Of course, there is a strong opponent for a single helmet at this price, which is the steam VR single helmet. The current price in Jindong is exactly 4888.00 yuan.
However, its maximum performance is only 144hz in test mode, and the binocular resolution is 1440×1600.
As the top brand of V Club on Steam, Steam VR has also topped the Steam weekly sales list several times, which clearly shows its ability to attract money.
But comparing it to the K1 helmet sold by Suiren Company, it is just garbage classification.
What kind of garbage is it?
Fatty G, who can’t count to three, has met a powerful enemy in his career!
Many technology company CEOs, technicians, and VR enthusiasts are eager to experience the complete K1 helmet, that is, the feeling of using all the "unimportant things" that Gu Qing said.
The things in the promotional videos are almost the same as ordinary science fiction movies and promotional videos shot by VR equipment manufacturers themselves.
It looks quite gimmicky, but industry veterans think it's a bit "ordinary".
It can’t be that everything in this promotional video can be made by ordinary users by just operating it, right?
Gu Qing didn't take much care of these industry insiders. In his opinion, or in the opinion of the participants in the K1 helmet project team, there are no competitors to K1 on the market. If there were, then K2 would be the best choice.
It's time.
He continued: "The price of the K1 helmet itself is relatively cheap, but the performance of the chip it is equipped with is not the best, so if users want to experience the ultimate enjoyment, they also need a high-performance host to assist in processing and running large-scale 3A games.
Required data."
Gu Qing's words made people at Nvidia, AMD and other manufacturers breathe a sigh of relief.
At first, they thought Kyushu Technology was really strong enough to be on equal footing with them in the field of graphics processors.
But before they could relax, Gu Qing's next words made them raise their tone again.
"So, in order to maximize the display effect of this helmet, we developed a Titan processor equipped with an APU. It is also the last major product to be released at tonight's conference."
apu what???
Not only were the comments in the live broadcast room filled with questions, but there was also a lot of discussion at the press conference.
Of course, the brain circuits of technical experts like Lao Huang and Su Ma move very quickly.
In short, APU is a chip that combines GPU and CPU. However, with the current surge in chip power consumption and performance, this combination will easily cause the processor chip to be burned out due to high power consumption and heat dissipation issues.
, and too much integration is not conducive to the research and development and making money of a single project.
It is relatively simple to break through in one direction. If you want to make a breakthrough in multiple directions, the difficulty factor will increase exponentially.
For example, in recent years, Intel Core, Nvidia n-series graphics cards and other leaders in the electronic product industry, the hardware upgrade model of their main products is nothing more than adding cores, adding memory, and optimizing the structure.
Because they only need higher performance. As for issues such as power consumption, heat dissipation, and compatibility, other departments and companies are naturally responsible.
And making an APU is simply thankless.
Other people's CPUs have been upgraded two or three generations, but the APU may still be stuck in the same place.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people who know this aspect, Jiuzhou Technology is no longer bragging, but thinking about flying without even learning how to walk.
Perhaps because he felt a little embarrassed that he had lost the cake, Gu Qing sighed and said: "Others spend ten years sharpening their swords, three years for an architecture, and five years for a big leap. But the release of the Titan processor made me excited.
Besides, there is some emptiness.
Because in addition to running Windows systems, this processor can also run Pingguo systems, Android systems, Unix-like systems, and our Gonggong system. And it is suitable for online games, large-scale stand-alone machines, deep learning, and video rendering.
There are great optimizations.
After its release, some products we are familiar with will definitely be forced to leave the market.
Alas, every time something familiar gradually disappears from my life, I feel that time is fleeting.
Without further ado, let’s look directly at the specific data of the Titan processor.”
Gu Qing, who was still flirting, suddenly became an elite in the industry with a snap of his fingers.
"Titan processors have two models, Titan p and Titan c. Titan p is manufactured using Xia Xin Technology's 14nm process, while Titan c is manufactured using Xia Xin Technology's 5nm process. Neither of them uses chip stacking.
Instead, the CPU and GPU in the traditional sense are placed on one motherboard.
Titan P has sufficient production capacity to provide ordinary players with access to mainstream online games and 3A masterpieces. The specific parameters are as follows:
(What are you looking at? The performance of the 12th generation i5 plus rtx3070 is really not worth mentioning.
Of course, he is the protagonist of this press conference. I would like to give you a little tip here. A certain R&D staff member named Zhang from our R&D department gave the Titan Processor C the full name of the project: Titan Processor Super Powerful and Invincible.
model."
Gu Qing's little joke made many people in the audience and the live broadcast room laugh out loud, and the whole world suddenly became a lively ocean.
Of course, except for Nvidia, amd, Intel, Pingguo and other companies, and a certain blushing R&D researcher named Zhang.
Facing Old Huang Muran's eyes, Gu Qing continued to introduce after everyone burst into laughter: "The performance of Titan C can definitely meet the production needs of us gamers and ordinary workers.
Its CPU core adopts the mature large and small core hybrid architecture on the Chenxing chip, with a total of nine large cores and 36 small cores, for a total of 45 cores.
