At the gracious invitation of Robert Noyce, Gao Xian met Ted Hoff, an engineer in charge of chip design, a tall, thin technical elite with thick glasses.
This further proves that the chip that was almost killed by Gaoxian just now is the landmark world's first microprocessor - intel-4004.
Since he wants Gao Xian to be the "receiver", Robert Noyce naturally has to hand over the details of the project.
Last year, bizkon company from a book came to Intel to entrust chip solutions for calculators.
Bizkon, who paid US $100000 in advance, is very conceited. It also brings several alternative reference solutions. I hope Intel can complete the final work on the basis of one of them.
The advantage of this is also obvious, that is, it will be very efficient in practice.
But something went wrong with Ted Hoff, who was in charge of chip design.
Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore founded Intel and recruited many people from the old owner Fairchild Semiconductor, such as Andy Grove, the third employee of Intel.
But Ted Hoff is not a person in the Fairchild Semiconductor system, but a researcher at Stanford University. He is tired of talking on paper and hopes to do some more practical chip design. So I accepted the employment of Intel and became the 12th employee of the company.
As soon as Ted Hoff arrived at Intel, he made great contributions.
Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore have made a great deal of dynamic memory for Intel. Each memory unit needs four transistors, while Ted Hoff's optimization scheme only needs three transistors.
It is not difficult to see that Ted Hoff's genius in chip design and Robert Noyce's attention to Ted Hoff gave him bizkon's chip customization.
The more technical experts, the more a common problem they have, that is, they don't rub sand in their eyes and scoff at the realization of poor technology.
When Ted Hoff got the several alternative reference solutions brought by bizkon, he made such an old problem: what is this? It's an insult for me to modify and optimize on this basis!
So Ted Hoff decided to start a new stove completely.
He chose the most ideal reference target in his mind, pdp-8, a super calculator priced at 8000 US dollars, a product from the data equipment company. Through programming, it can complete all types of mathematical operations.
Ted Hoff's idea is to sort out the functions of pdp-8 into a general model, and then put it into a small chip.
Robert Noyce was also a technical expert. He especially felt that what Ted Hoff called "universal" was beneficial to the "standard" in the batch manufacturing process, so he agreed with Ted Hoff's proposal.
Ted Hoff certainly has the ability to be proud and successfully completed the design blueprint of the chip from zero to one.
The next work is stuck in the manufacturing process. With Intel's main product - dynamic memory, it can't be mass produced.
In fact, not only Intel, but also the whole American semiconductor industry is currently stuck in the MOS silicon gate.
All people in the industry have good reasons to believe that this is a matter of stepping on the door, just sooner or later.
In order to get through the darkness before dawn, Intel chose to undertake customized chips to increase profits, but bizkon over there couldn't sit still.
Because the competition in the calculator market is too fierce.
Take the world-famous sharp and Hitachi calculator wars a few years later. They killed a river of blood. Other competitors were killed by the price war, leaving only two of them connected to each other. The overproduced calculator LCD screen was cheap for Nintendo and made a popular handheld game console.
Therefore, we can imagine bizikang's anger at Intel's delay in delivering on time.
Nima, last year we designed the product at the price of 3000 US dollars; But in a few months, the $3000 product won't sell.
You're trying to kill us!
Just when Robert Noyce was trying to persuade bizikang, Gao Xian put in a pole and scared himself out of his mouth. He hurried to report to a headquarters: God, big things are bad. There has been a $500 functional calculator in the United States. The cooperation with Intel is meaningless!
Seeing that the project that can be completed in a few months is going to fail, Robert Noyce wants to rely on Gao Xian as the initiator regardless of face.
Who makes Intel's ambition short now? If we overcome the difficulties in production technology in a few months, we don't have to beg our grandparents so humbly.
Why is Robert Noyce so sure that Intel's dynamic memory will be on sale?
The reason is very simple. Now the mainstream internal memory of computers is magnetic core memory. The gap between it and dynamic memory is similar to that between mechanical hard disk and solid-state disk many years later, which belongs to "generation difference".
It is no exaggeration to say that once dynamic memory is successfully mass produced, Intel will just sit and count the money; The next step is to be listed in the cheers of the crowd!
However, the prospect is the prospect. At the most empty time at present, intel was hit in the ribs by the high string steadily, accurately and ruthlessly. It was hit with a fork, so it had to bend down and pretend to be poor.
Gao Xian didn't show the slightest satisfaction because of this. Even, he took the initiative to become a "deceived person" from the eloquent "deceiver" before.
During the conversation, Robert Noyce repeatedly stressed that Intel has hired a technical elite enough to overcome the manufacturing difficulties, just because he is an Italian immigrant and needs to work in the original company for two years before he can get a visa, so he will come to Intel a little late.
Gao Xian knew clearly that Robert Noyce should be talking about another technical expert - Federico Fagin.
If you don't show up here and now, bizkon will return the chip to Intel in a few months because it has fallen behind in the fierce competition in a calculator market.
Intel will name this chip intel-4004 to compete with Texas Instruments for the title of the world's first microprocessor to increase capital for listing.
He listened to Robert Noyce's Lotus tongue and said, "Gao, this set of general-purpose chip can certainly meet the design needs of your new calculator product, and you can replace bizikang and have it completely for only 60000 dollars."
Gao Xian put on a look of being fooled into thinking and said, "this idea sounds very good."
Ma Yongda, who followed him, glanced anxiously and secretly reminded him, "brother Xian, we don't have enough money! You forgot that you only exchanged 10000 US dollars this time from Xiangjiang."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
