Chapter 50: Asset preparation
But what should I do next?
According to the plan, it should be marching toward the electronics industry. Catherine has even organized a group of technical workers to research key problems, just to study one of the most important things-CPU.
However, there is no progress on this plan for the time being. Although Catherine understands the structure of the CPU, it is somewhat difficult to realize the process of miniaturizing it. Fortunately, Catherine knows a lot about this.
When it comes to CPU production, it is actually not difficult, although it is in this era.
Of course, if you have to talk about "craftsmanship" or something, it must be incomparable.
But the simplest CPU, if you want to make it, it is not that difficult.
You should know that in the future, many American computer enthusiasts will make their own CPU. Although it is very rough, it is very good to use.
The most difficult thing is miniaturization.
After this problem is solved, Catherine's GameTV will be able to launch a separate console version.
Catherine ordered a batch of micro-transistors from Fairchild, and then handed them over to the technicians to research and assemble them. Finally, she finally got the first CPU she wanted. By this time, it was already mid-November.
This is a very crude CPU composed of 2250 transistors, but it looks good from the outside.
There is no doubt that this is the world's first micro CPU.
This CPU can process 4bit data, calculate 60,000 times per second, the main frequency is 0.74MHz, and the operating frequency is 108KHz.
—In fact, this CPU has almost the same data as the first CPU in history. The only difference is probably the same.
In fact, the size of this CPU is as big as two playing cards laid flat.
I have to say that the Moore's Law is really reasonable-of course, Moore himself is still at Fairchild, and he has not proposed this concept.
In the original time and space, Catherine cared very much about the beauty of her appearance. After coming into this world, Catherine felt more and more that she seemed to be a perfectionist.
CPU can also become a cool and popular fashion.
Although Catherine wants to say that, but the CPU wants to be fashionable...hehe.
She just tried her best to make this CPU look more sci-fi and beautiful, which is a must.
Because her company plan was taken away by Bruce, Catherine worked out another company plan on the other side.
And the name of this company is-Intel.
In fact, Intel and Apple are complementary.
Katherine finally split the game function of GameTV separately, and Intel, but it just happens to be able to bring enough support for Apple in the future.
With the CPU, it means that the market is fully unfolding on its own.
At least to Catherine, IBM seems to be much easier to deal with than the arms boss.
By the way, Catherine carried out an asset reorganization of her company.
Ark Group is the core of Catherine's company. For this, she also bought a small bank that was about to fail.
—At this time, small banks have been suffering all the time. It was a time when the American banking industry turned around.
Because of the existence of the Antitrust Law, companies that are competitors are not allowed to acquire such companies. Such banks will eventually fail. After learning that Catherine was about to acquire, the original shareholders, almost half-sold and half-delivered, sold the bank.
After processing all the business, Catherine's company core is considered complete.
When Catherine deals with such things, she often likes to prepare everything first, so that things will be done without any reorganization, grouping and other tasks, which can save a lot of time.
In the Ark Group, there are several wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Intel Corporation was recently established, focusing on semiconductors-to be more precise, it should be a variety of equipment for computers.
Then Apple. Catherine's positioning for Apple is entertainment and fashion. The company's main business is televisions, gaming equipment, and computers. GameTV is Apple’s first product.
is followed by "Blizzard Entertainment", which was originally the toy company of the "Hogwarts Wizarding Factory"-now it has become a department below, the main series of magic war chess. But now, Catherine positions it as a gaming company. Not only provide desktop games, but also electronic games will be developed in the future. Catherine even handed over the arcade of GameTV to this company.
Catherine’s name may not have any technical content, but this kind of name also illustrates Catherine’s expectations for her company.
The company’s total assets are now around 10 million. Most of the profits are provided by the Hogwarts Wizarding Factory under Blizzard Entertainment. However, these profits have basically reached the top, and it is impossible to bring more wealth to Catherine, so we have to start from other aspects. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The patent for the micro CPU belongs to Catherine. With this, the appearance of personal computers has been a few months away.
Although it is said that it is a patent for a micro CPU, it actually has 48 patents. Just like the patent for integrated circuits.
Although they are collectively referred to as integrated circuits, but in a breakdown, Catherine owns a total of 75 patents in this area, but they all belong to the type of integrated circuits. It is these patents that blocked the patent road of Texas Instruments and Fairchild.
For this reason, Catherine increased her investment in Intel, hoping to catch up with the Seattle World Expo in April next year.
Unlike other industries, in the electronics industry, Catherine does not value monopoly, because monopoly in this area can only interrupt the flourishing state of the electronics industry and even delay the appearance of personal computers.
And in the computer, monopoly and closure are simply a wrong approach.
Apple in the 1980s, because of its closed standards, led to their company's decline. Knowing that Jobs returned to Apple, this saved Apple's decline and defeat.
So, what Catherine was thinking about was to develop a standard, a computer standard!
After having standards, any company can only do what Catherine wants.
There is a saying that third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make brands, and first-class companies make standards.
Catherine wants to make Intel a first-class company.
