C406 The Patent Problem Wasn't a Problem
C406 The Patent Problem Wasn't a Problem
The first problem was himself. The current 4KB memory project was one of the national key projects, which was funded by the country. However, the general processor was not funded by the country, and it would be difficult for him to rely on his personal investment.
"The funding problem is not something that we scientists should consider. Elder Wang, what do you think?" Qin Guan's rhetorical question caused Elder Wang's heart to tremble once again.
This was a problem of the system, and also a huge problem that Long Xin would face in the future. Scientists were supposed to focus on scientific research. But... A lot of scientific researchers needed to be multi-faceted, not only for scientific research, but also for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes, for research purposes. We have to do the matching, industrialization, and we can't afford to lose money. Finally, a researcher had to be a businessman, and the final project ended without any problems.
In Qin Guan's eyes, the funding problem didn't need to worry about him. All he needed to do was to start a research project for him!
"Next, it's the problem of the technical route." Elder Wang said, "We can only avoid detours by aiming at a secure technical route. There are many technical debates going on internationally right now."
Qin Guan knew that he was, after all, someone who had dabbled in many aspects in his previous life. Practically everyone should possess computer knowledge.
The competition for this route would first be to simplify the competition between the Instruction Set and the complicated Instruction Set.
The processor not only had hardware, but also software. Only in this way could they complete the normal task.
Complicated Instruction Set was beneficial for low-level programming, but it was not easy for the processor to operate it. Hence, simplifying the Instruction Set became more and more mainstream. Especially in the general processor, simplifying the Instruction Set was the best choice.
In the simplified Instruction Set, one had to mention X86. In the future, as it was used more and more widely, this Instruction Set had become the standard Instruction Set for the desktop processor.
The reason why Long Xin could not promote it back then was because she could not obtain the license for X86 Instruction Set and could only use MIPS Instruction Set. This was something that could not be helped. The result was that it was not used.
For example, because there were no Instruction Set, Long Xin's processor could not process animation, resulting in the video being unable to be played. Such a chip was installed on a personal computer, how could it satisfy you?
But now, these were not a problem for Qin Guan. Elder Wang had mentioned the most important technical route. Qin Guan only had a rough understanding of it, but this was enough.
"Just aim at the Intel Company's 8086 and follow their technical route." Qin Guan said.
This was a problem of the ecosystem. If they chose the MIPS structure now, it might make the MIPS structure mainstream. But... Qin Guan could not take this risk, because he was not confident. He was not an expert in this field.
Since the Intel Company would become the leader of the future generations, then the technical route was correct. There were so many companies researching CPU, and they all quit in the end. Only the Intel and the AMD were left. They were both using X86. This meant that there was no problem with this route.
Whoever set the standard would have the right to make the decision. In the future, the arrogant and despotic Y Country suppressed Han Country's high-tech company because of the 5G technical standards. They were afraid that Han Country would beat them to it, just the patent fees. It would give the company who set the standards a lot of benefits.
Elder Wang had been overseas before, and he had seen the world. In terms of technology, they had opened up a brand new Instruction Set. It was definitely better to find a ready-made ___ than to use it. The difficulty would be lower. However, this would also bring about new problems.
Elder Wang said to Qin Guan, "Comrade Qin Guan, if that's the case, how are we going to get the authorization of the Intel Company?"
This Instruction Set was developed by the Intel Company. If they wanted to use it, they would have to get the authorization.
Upon hearing Elder Wang's words, Qin Guan shook his head and said, "Elder Wang, this matter isn't something that our scientists have to consider. Let me handle it."
There was no need to worry about money or patents. Qin Guan had many solutions.
First of all, what was patent? What patent rights did foreign countries acknowledge, but there were none in the country. The current domestic laws were very imperfect. There was no patent saying. Back then, when the people of Music Country came to find the Steyr Heavy Card for infringement, there was no such thing as patents. This was how Qin Guan planned to deal with it.
Intel Company, come and find trouble. Come to the Han Country to file a lawsuit. Are you afraid of me?
This was only the worst-case scenario. In fact, the situation shouldn't be this bad.
Because right now, Intel Company was not the only major power. There were also many other manufacturers who were producing generic processors and using different structural designs.
What Intel Company wanted the most now was to expand their X86 structure and let more companies use this structure. In the end, it would be the mainstream and become the standard of the industry.
In order to achieve this goal, the Intel Company also authorized many companies with X86 in history.
In addition to the AMD, there was also Cyrix, Weisheng, Siss, and other companies. All of them had this patent right, so Intel could use it widely for their system. They would definitely give this patent to Long Xin. This was not the time for future generations to suppress her. This was just the beginning of the stage where everyone was picking up firewood.
When the 8086 processor was first released, it did not receive much attention and was not widely used in the beginning. On the contrary, IBM was the head of the computer industry, the predecessor of their PowerPoint Processing Device. IBM801 was the first simplified command system processor. About 120 instructions, this was the real big brother.
The status of the Intel in the world of processors was not that great. It could not be compared to the sun in the future.
If the Intel authorized it, then they would openly accept it. If they did not authorize it, then we will do it in the country. I'll do it myself. I'll produce it for my own use. What else can you do? Go to your Y Country's court and sue me? Even if you win, you won't have the ability to enforce the law.
As for the punishment, it was still the Honeymoon Period.
In the future, their CPU would be bigger and stronger. When they started to export overseas, at most, they would start from those companies that had declined. For example, SIS could buy patent rights and even directly merge with these companies.
Qin Guan had long prepared for this.
Elder Wang had been thinking about all sorts of difficult problems, but now, these problems had been solved by Qin Guan with just a few words. In Qin Guan's eyes, these were not problems at all.
Qin Guan and Elder Wang were in a heated discussion. Elder Wang's chopsticks had already stopped moving. He had been listening to Qin Guan's explanation. Now, Qin Guan had solved each and every problem, and Elder Wang was also talking about the last problem.
"We still need talents." Elder Wang said helplessly, "I'm already old."
