Chapter 264: 264

After the "passing" of Intel's board of directors, Gao Xian went to see the microprocessor he wanted most.

Because of the chaotic space-time of high string, Intel's microprocessor route is slightly different from the "old script".

Specifically, after intel4004, intel8080 is directly, and intel8008 is omitted.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Although Intel 8008 is an eight bit microprocessor, it is only an eight bit version naturally upgraded from Intel 4004, and the foundation of x86 architecture is not complete.

Therefore, Gao Xian promoted the original "two steps" to "one and a half steps", which gave birth to the original model intel8080 of x86 architecture.

In Gao Xian's eyes, the absolute leadership of technology is not important. The key is to maximize the knowledge reserve advantage of "small equipment".

This is just like when Gao Xian chose a minicomputer for data processing in Xiangjiang securities industry, he directly chose the latest product PDP-11 of data equipment company. The driving force is that PDP-11 can be classic enough to be applied to the 1990s, so that "small package" can provide ready-made software solutions.

Similarly, Gao Xian's preference for Intel x86 architecture is also based on similar considerations.

In fact, Intel x86 architecture is not created out of thin air, but refers to PDP series minicomputers of data equipment company; The specific product implementation is not the best. The MC6800 being developed by Morton roller is more powerful than it. But who makes Intel x86 architecture the most "classic" and then makes high string the most "labor-saving".

In the corner of Intel headquarters, when he found the unpopular microprocessor product team, Gao Xian just saw Fei Jin fall the phone angrily.

"What's the matter?" Gao Xian asked.

Seeing that he had been providing special funds to support the microprocessor product team, Fei Jin took a deep breath and replied angrily, "Hi, Gao. I just asked the supervisor for a production plan and made a batch of engineering samples of the new version of intel8080, but I couldn't approve it. Moreover, the marketing Department said that I didn't think about how to sell intel8080."

Glancing at Fagin's still red face, Gao Xianxin knew that the gap between Fagin and his supervisor, or more accurately, the relationship between Fagin and Intel was deepening.

At first, because of the visa, Fagin's working relationship from Italy stayed in Fairchild Semiconductor, resulting in a relatively late entry into Intel; On the other hand, Intel has really spent a lot of effort to dig up fees.

The important value of Fagin is mainly reflected in the silicon gate circuit that must be solved for the MOS of semiconductor memory and microprocessor, which temporarily baffled the whole semiconductor industry, and even led to Intel's bankruptcy due to insufficient income for a long time.

Robert Noyce just knew that Fagin had a solution, so he tried his best to invite him over.

Fagin is also very willing to work at Intel. As soon as he gets started, he solves this problem, but I don't know why such a good thing breeds dirty.

Obviously, the technical difficulty that Fagin led to overcome must form patent protection.

Therefore, Intel applied for relevant patents.

There is no problem with this link. Fagin works at Intel, and the patent naturally belongs to the company.

The contradiction is that the signature of this patent is not Fagin, but his immediate boss.

Fagin felt that his hard work had been plagiarized. It can be said that Fagin had always resented it.

In addition, there are contradictions between Fagin and Andy Grove, the third in command of Intel.

It is necessary to point out that although Intel is a high-tech company in Silicon Valley, its working style is not free, loose and humanized as represented by HP, the eldest brother of Silicon Valley, but more like a disciplined army.

To put it bluntly, Andy Grove requires employees to strictly follow the clock in time when they go to and from work in the specific management of the company, but Fagin is a technology maniac. His inspiration broke out. He is tired and can sleep until noon the next day.

It's not hard to imagine that Fagin, who doesn't stick to one style, is a real thorn in the eyes of Andy Grove, who requires the implementation of steel discipline.

In this way, it's strange that Fagin and Andy Grove can have a harmonious relationship!

Gao Xian hypocritically advised Fagin to come to the final technical specification of intel8080 and read it carefully.

Seeing that director Gao really valued and was interested in his team's microprocessor, Fagin was finally in a better mood, so he began to demonstrate to Gao Xian excitedly.

In fact, this demonstration may not be acceptable to ordinary people.

You know, at this stage, let alone there is no personal computer, not even a single chip microcomputer. The Intel 8080 engineering sample is only placed on a substrate, and then connected to a pile of peripheral chips including memory controller for power on.

The so-called demonstration system has neither keyboard and mouse for input nor display for viewing the output results. Instead, the input and output equipment is perforated paper tape. Not even the original binary "0" and "1".

Fagin, a technology maniac, regardless of whether Gao Xian could understand it or not, handed over a piece of paper and explained, "this is a demonstration of stack function."

Gao Xian nodded happily. He didn't doubt Fagin's deception, but wondered what Intel 8080 lacked.

It has to be said that in terms of hardware, Fagin's team has completed the intel8080 and its peripheral supporting chips. The difference is in terms of software, such as assembly language at a higher level of system level and personal computer BIOS at a higher level of system level.

However, Intel's hardware design is OK, so don't count on software work.

Fortunately, this task is the strength of "small installation". Thousands of lines of code is nothing at all. What's worse is a programmer responsible for debugging.

However, it is absolutely a chore to convert the ready-made code provided by the "small package" into an assembly language compiler and BIOS function table available in the real world.

Gao Xian has no time and is unwilling to do this work. Moreover, with his ability, staring at the perforated paper tape, even if he is blind, he may not be able to complete it.

It seems that we have to find a coolie.

Thinking of this, Gao Xian asked, "is the completion of Intel 8080 enough to be announced?"

"The company is a little strange recently. It procrastinates in everything." Fei Jin, who only cares about technology, began to be depressed again. "No one cares about the arrangement of product release."

Gao Xian smiled, "since I'm here, I'll urge you. This is a great achievement that has left Motorola and other peers behind. How can it be buried!"

Fakington's eyes lit up, "Gao, your words have entered my heart. When I don't want to continue working at Intel and want to start a business, will you invest in me?"

"Of course." Gao Xian patted Fagin on the shoulder and told him earnestly, "remember, if you have any ideas, you can contact my office in Los Angeles."
