Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 843 - 290: Tai Chi Product Launch (Part 2)
Laypeople watch the spectacle, experts see the essence.
To be honest, whether it’s the scene of the press conference or the many viewers following the event via video, there’s not much interest in the administrator user setup process.
For Huaxia people accustomed to using various smart speakers, who don’t even need to bring their phones to make payments with just a face or palm, these things don’t seem that sophisticated.
It’s just registering using language. By the way, letting the computer camera read a facial feature, the voiceprint function is also used by some software to recover a password.
In short, it’s nothing special. This even includes many so-called tech enthusiasts.
Mostly, the previous promos and various rumors have set their expectations too high.
What they’re seeing now indeed doesn’t provide them with any overly exciting emotional value.
However, these feel different for those tech bigwigs in the front row. Even though some CEOs don’t have a technical background, their long-term roles as executives in high-tech companies allow them far better understanding than ordinary people on how to evaluate a new product from multiple dimensions.
For example, smoothness...
The smoothness of the entire administrator user registration process can be described as very slick, with numerous interactive effects. Most crucially, Qiao Yu completed the entire initial registration process just through conversation.
Throughout the process, this computer did not misunderstand any semantic input from Qiao Yu.
In just these five minutes of registration, Brad Smith had exchanged several glances with Intel’s new CEO David Hopkins.
On the other side, NVIDIA’s new CEO Chris Malaki also furrowed his brow continuously.
Even though Qiao Yu did not detail the specific parameters of the graphics card used by this product.
But the direct inclusion of so many 3D dynamic images in the system, running so smoothly, is enough to prove that the graphics card used by this computer has excellent performance in handling images, textures, shaders, rendering, etc.
This also indicates that the graphics card used in this computer, whether it’s core frequency, core number, video memory, bandwidth, texture units, raster units, and other key technical indicators, likely reached a leading level.
Undoubtedly, this hit hard. Regardless of whether this computer named Tai Chi can make it, Huaxia has made significant progress in graphics card design and manufacturing.
Coupled with Huaxia’s industrial prowess, they can always compress costs to an extent that others cannot bear in the short term.
This means that in the future competition in the graphics card market, NVIDIA’s competitors will not only be AMD but also Huaxia, this unfathomable opponent.
The pressure is immense...
Indeed, even though at this moment many Huaxia people globally don’t feel much difference in performance with the computer Qiao Yu showcased, these bigwigs from world-class large technology companies almost all became serious.
You should know that in their view, at least four years ago, Huaxia was still entirely lagging behind in top-layer technologies like semiconductors and chips.
Four years later, just from the five-minute performance of this computer, it can already be seen that Huaxia’s related technology has truly caught up.
On the other hand, representatives of the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance also looked serious.
Foreigners nearby were shocked by the technical prowess already demonstrated by the quantum simulation computer. But for the Alliance representatives, these don’t mean much.
After all, ordinary consumer-level classic electronic computers are around twenty thousand yuan, already belonging to the top budget configuration for most users.
But the Tai Chi series currently has entry-level configurations priced at 58,000...
With high prices, users naturally become more picky. At this price point, using entirely domestic research and development can’t make users willingly spend money.
Otherwise, they’ll be criticized!
No choice, the vast majority of consumers don’t care about the research costs that start from scratch. After all, consumers need to see real progress, needs that address their consumption pain points.
This part, we still hold uncertainties. These not only require hardware matching but also software support.
Overall, the atmosphere at the entire press conference site at this moment is probably that experts are nervous, while the general potential future users remain very calm.
Of course, this is just the domestic situation.
As for those abroad watching the live stream, they’ve already been shocked several times.
After all, a system entirely controlled by language is considered extremely advanced technology for many unknowledgeable foreigners who still need to carry wallets and change when going out.
At this moment on stage, Qiao Yu has completed the initial setup and entered the system.
It’s still an extremely simple desktop.
You can see that there are not many pre-installed software on the desktop. It doesn’t even have system icons like My Computer or the Recycle Bin like Microsoft.
The entire desktop has only three icons, centered on the screen.
An application software center, a work environment choice, and an entertainment hub.
"What everyone sees now is the system interface after initialization. As you can see, the Tai Chi series computer products and accompanying Tai Chi operating system still adopt the traditional window interface like Windows.
But what we can do is more than that. The new generation of Tai Chi series computer products will no longer be limited to the display range of the monitor itself. Instead, it can extend beyond the display to give users more unique display technology.
