Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 941 talk
Chapter 941 Talk about it
941
Assassin's Creed Revelations unintentionally boosted sales of high-end processors in the world.
This is something Zhu Youxing had not planned before.
But he was not particularly surprised when he learned about this.
AI computing is inherently very performance-hungry, and sometimes it can even eat up all the performance of the top processors.
As long as you are ambitious, no amount of performance is enough.
Look at Benedy’s AI laboratory. He has three of the world’s most high-end enterprise-class computers.
The cost of each unit has reached millions of dollars.
And because of Zhu Youxing's subsequent capital injection, he has already begun to plan to spend another 10 million US dollars to buy more enterprise-class computers, and then perform parallel operations so that different enterprise-class computers can calculate different sections.
Now, the semiconductor technology in this world has actually begun to surpass the original level of the world before Bamboo Planet traveled through.
The original world before he traveled has just developed to the stage of mass production of 3 nanometer processors. This world is marching towards 1 nanometer, and there is no so-called Moore's Law reaching the limit in this world, because someone has already proposed it in this world. Several updated theories support that the world's semiconductor industry can continue to develop smoothly for at least another twenty or thirty years.
Zhu Youxing is very happy that he can travel to this world.
Perhaps in my lifetime I can really see the most powerful computer and then calculate a video game that is comparable to the real world.
Let’s talk about the surge in processor sales.
This is a very surprising thing for processor manufacturers.
This means they are making more profits.
And people who buy now are willing to do so.
People’s demand for high-end entertainment has always been endless.
At the same time, the business environment in the world is still quite good. After experiencing several bubble crises, it is now in a period of prosperity. People have enough money in their pockets, and they are naturally more willing to pay for their own entertainment.
And processor manufacturers, after being happy, also want to study what is going on.
Why do so many people suddenly emerge to buy high-end processors?
And not just high-end, mid- to low-end new processors are also selling very well.
Because there are still a group of people who originally planned to use a computer for three to five years, but suddenly started playing Assassin's Creed Revelations and decisively chose to update the configuration.
If you don’t want to change to the top configuration in one go, then at least change to a configuration that can keep up with this era.
That way, you can at least greatly improve your experience.
This is indeed the case. These players bought the latest computers and then discovered a whole new world after experiencing Assassin's Creed Revelations again.
This world feels so real to them, and every NPC character is very human.
They feel that even if they do nothing, just watching the behavior of these passerby NPCs in this game world will be extremely interesting.
And processor manufacturers quickly understood what was going on.
It turned out to be related to a video game.
At the same time, they were also surprised that a game could bring such a huge increase in sales.
Following this, Benedy AI Lab officially announced new AI computing technology.
And they also promoted Assassin's Creed Revelations as if they were bragging that the technology from their laboratory was used.
This suddenly attracted the attention of many people, especially those large enterprises with budget accounting.
After Benedi AI Lab just announced this matter, companies with strong ties to video games such as Surui Electronics, Mickford, and Brown Entertainment immediately contacted the lab and hoped to get some information about this technology. relevant information and knowledge.
Benedi AI Laboratory is essentially a university laboratory, and most of its patents also belong to the school.
However, because of the investment from Youxing Electronic Entertainment and the research and development direction proposed by Zhuyouxing, the patent on the video game AI training model belongs to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Of course, it only refers to related patents that use AI computing technology to simulate the reactions of passers-by NPCs in the video game world.
By the time these people discovered that Youxing Electronic Entertainment had made such a big news quietly, it was already a bit late.
When Youxing Electronic Entertainment started to promote some AI-related technologies before, they didn’t pay much attention to it.
Or they cared about it, and indeed asked their subordinates to follow up on the AI field, but at that time they had no idea what the connection between the AI field and video games was, and they just thought it might be another casual investment by Zhu Youxing.
But I really didn’t expect that Zhu Yuxing would really connect AI with video games just by accident.
Suri Electronics and Mickford were the first to react.
They themselves have a very strong technical background, and they immediately announced the formation of their own experimental team to start researching similar things.
Suri Electronics has immediately shown the important points of Assassin's Creed Revelations to Hayakawa Ueto, and Hayakawa Ueto formed a new team almost without thinking to follow up on this new technology.
Mickford is also not far behind.
As for Brown Entertainment, they have always only focused on video game development, and have been somewhat behind in this regard. However, money can solve many problems in this world, and as long as Brown Entertainment is willing to spend money, they can still come up with something.
As for Zhuyouxing, sales began to increase in reverse within a month after the release of Assassin's Creed Revelations.
Those players who feel that they have a high-end computer will want to buy an Assassin's Creed and give it a try.
Because there are more and more voices out there describing it this way: If you have a computer with high enough configuration and are also a gamer, not playing Assassin's Creed Revelations is simply the biggest loss in your life.
At the same time, at the company headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, a group of unfamiliar faces also came.
Some of them have European and American faces, and some have Asian faces.
They also have similar attire, that is, straight suits and handbags in their hands.
Hello everyone, how can I help you?
The people at the front desk were a little stunned when they saw these people coming in.
The employees inside Youxing Electronic Entertainment usually dress more casually, and the people who come to negotiate are also the same kind of casual people, so they haven't seen so many formally dressed guys in a long time.
Are they official government personnel?
“Hello, I’m from a chip company, and I want to talk to your president.”
"I also…"
