Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073

The meeting did not last long, and the boss of the chip manufacturer readily admitted his mistake.

 There is indeed a problem with the yield rate of AI chips this time.

 Cyberpunk 2077 is just a trigger.

  Without the fuse of Cyberpunk 2077, there will inevitably be other fuses that will trigger this incident.

The boss of the AI ​​chip manufacturer is also very straightforward. He is willing to compensate Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for its reputational damage, and is willing to assist Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in making certain remedies.

 AI chips are also considered an emerging industry in this world, so some problems are almost inevitable.

Other companies will not easily accept technological products that are too trendy because of this concern.

 They will only consider using these technologies if they are stable enough.

 Otherwise, even if the CEO himself wants to use these risky new technologies, his shareholders will definitely find ways to get the CEO to give up this idea.

 It’s just that in Youxing Electronic Entertainment, as long as Zhu Youxing opens his mouth, there will be no unsolvable problems and no troubles.

  Bamboo Games is also very straightforward and wants to take advantage of the fact that players have not yet completely suffered from a large number of game console damage problems.

  People from the engineering development department previously suggested reducing the performance of Cyberpunk 2077, but that was only a temporary solution to the problem.

 Some new games in the future may not have the perfect first-party optimization like Cyberpunk 2077.

 The optimization levels of other game manufacturers vary.

 If they are allowed to develop games on a hardware platform that is not stable enough, the possibility of this happening in the future will still be greatly increased.

  Simply give the latest order directly in the company meeting.

 Recall all products that AI chip manufacturers have determined to have a large-volume reduction in yield rate.

  In any case, AI chip manufacturers will bear most of the funds, so Zhuyouxing is no longer welcome.

As for the boss of the AI ​​chip manufacturer, he can only accept it painfully.

 After all, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the largest purchaser of AI chips today.

 So it is necessary to take good care of the mood of this largest customer and make him stable enough.

 As for everything else, it is secondary.

AI chip manufacturers will next produce a batch of new AI chips specifically for game consoles, and will subject all chips to high-intensity performance compression for at least one hundred hours to ensure that the chips themselves are strong enough to withstand stress.

Of course, even though AI chip manufacturers are trying their best to solve the problem, Zhuyouxing has not chosen to let them bear all the responsibilities.

 There is indeed insufficient testing of game console performance in game development, and this needs to be remedied.

Next, the company will set up a special game performance squeeze test team, and let them find ways to squeeze the performance of the game console through existing games, and try their best to see if the game console can be damaged by simply playing games. If so, If you break one, you can get extra bonuses.

 After finishing the internal affairs, the next thing Zhuyouxing has to do is to announce the solution to this problem to the outside world.

Murakami Kazuo looked at his smoking game console in confusion.

 He has been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on this game console for more than a month.

At the beginning, the game machine showed the cooling fan spinning crazily, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first.

 But later on, the fan rotated faster and faster, and because of the long-term high-speed operation, the fan began to be overwhelmed, and the noise of the game console gradually became louder and louder.

 All this is the result of his intense playing of Cyberpunk 2077.

　　And now, the game console in front of him was blown up by him playing hard.

 What is this situation?

Murakami Kazuo didn’t understand what was going on for a while.

 Why did the game machine suddenly explode?

But he soon got the answer.

 Youxing Electronic Entertainment officially released the latest news.

 Because the AI ​​processor chip of the game console has experienced an uncertain scale of yield reduction, it indirectly causes the game console to be damaged when players play Cyberpunk 2077 for too long.

 In view of this problem, Youxing Electronic Entertainment decided to publicly recall designated batches of game consoles.

 The total number of units recalled this time is about two million.

 All recall costs will be borne by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and the AI ​​chip manufacturer. If the game console owned by the player is within this batch, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment recommends that players save the game on the cloud first.

The cloud function is now open to everyone around the world for free. You can store your hard-earned game saves at will, ensuring that the game saves will not be easily lost due to damage to the game console.

 Then a collective recall of game consoles began.

 At first, players were a little reluctant because they thought it was troublesome.

And once the game console is sent back, they will not be able to play games for a long time, and they still want to use the game console to solve their boredom.

Soon Youxing Electronic Entertainment released a second announcement, that is, each recalled player can receive a game voucher.

Players can use game redemption coupons to redeem any game products in the game mall, and the official guarantees that a new game console can be returned to the recalled players within a week.

 Now the players are very willing.

 You can get a game for free after all.

Yusing Electronic Entertainment has quite a few excellent games.

If you can get a game at random, most players should not need to hesitate and will decisively redeem it for the top first-party game.

 For example, Pokémon, or the Legend of Zelda, or Final Fantasy, etc.

 There is absolutely no loss anyway.

 The cost is that you may lose a week of playing the game.

That's quite acceptable.

Approximately half of the AI ​​chips in these two million game consoles are under yield standards.

These AI chips should have been impossible to circulate on the market.

 Or even if it is circulated on the market, it should be downgraded.

It can only be said that the AI ​​chip manufacturer made a huge mistake this time. The boss of the AI ​​chip manufacturer is about to scold the person responsible for design and manufacturing to death.

 But he did not dare to fire these people.

 After all, he still hopes that these people can continue to bring him better products so that he can make more money.

The other half of the two million recalled game consoles barely met the yield standard, but they could not hold up under the performance squeeze of Cyberpunk 2077, so they were also included in the recall list.

Finally, it is determined that the quality inspection efficiency of the AI ​​chip must be above 120% to be considered qualified, and the new AI chips produced later will also implement new quality standards to ensure that they will not appear again in this generation of products. Unexpected situations like Cyberpunk 2077.

So far, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has solved a public relations crisis that has not yet fully matured by cutting the knot with a quick knife, and this has also reminded Zhuyousing that while developing games, it cannot also control the performance of game consoles. The quality is careless. The engineering development team must be more careful in the future. Similar things must not happen again in the next generation of new game consoles.

 Otherwise if it happens again, Zhu Youxing cannot guarantee that he will be able to detect it as soon as possible and nip the trouble in the cradle.
