However, they didn't understand, and Gao Nian naturally wouldn't let them remain confused. So, Gao Nian continued, "Speaking of which, I wonder if you've heard of the 'Wintel Alliance'?"
"Wintel Alliance?"
Apart from a small number of people, the vast majority still wore a blank expression.
Seeing this, Gao Nian nodded slightly and continued, "The so-called 'Wintel Alliance' doesn't exist openly, but it does exist secretly.
It's mainly an alliance secretly formed by Intel and Microsoft, who have reached a non-public agreement that completely monopolizes the lifeline of computer systems.
Intel is responsible for the hardware aspect, setting and maintaining the X86 instruction set hardware standard.
Microsoft is responsible for the system and software aspect, fully supporting Intel's X86 instruction set hardware and not supporting other instruction sets.
Subsequently, the Windows system is optimally optimized for Intel's CPU processors and instruction sets, while processors from other companies are not optimized or even negatively optimized.
After the two companies reached a tacit alliance, it led to other companies wanting to develop CPU processors having to obtain the X86 instruction set from Intel.
However, Intel precisely and firmly controlled the authorization of the X86 instruction set, not authorizing it to other companies, leaving them with no way to develop and produce computer CPU processors.
Even if they were lucky enough to obtain the X86 instruction set, they would find that they were also missing other multimedia instruction sets, such as the SSE series instruction set—...—...—·
Of course, Microsoft is naturally a hidden hand in this, because their Windows system does not support other multimedia instruction sets.
This means that even if you develop your own multimedia instruction set, it's useless because the Windows system doesn't support it.
Therefore, the 'Wintel Alliance' deeply restricts the possibility of other companies developing computer CPU processors through hardware and software levels.
As a result, there are only two CPU processor companies in the world to this day."
Hearing Gao Nian's words, some Chinese people in the audience who understood the situation nodded slightly, with expressions of solemnity and anger.
The audience and netizens from other countries showed a rather helpless expression, with a sigh of resignation.
After all, if the Chinese can't stand the 'Wintel Alliance' monopolizing the computer market, how could they?
Therefore, companies that are unhappy with the 'Wintel Alliance' and unhappy with Intel and Microsoft are not just Chinese.
In response, Gao Nian continued as people nodded slightly, "In order to break the 'Wintel Alliance's' monopoly and benefit consumers worldwide,
Our Geek Technology Company has stepped forward, determined to replace the old X86 computer system with an open-source, open, and public Geek computer system!"
After speaking, the projection screen behind Gao Nian displayed three terms: "Open Source, Open, Public." "First is open source. Our Geek computer system is essentially a computer system developed based on the Geek smart phone system.
So, it inherits everything from the Geek smart phone system, and it also inherits the Geek smart phone system's permanent free open-source model.
We will release corresponding versions, and other companies can use any version for in-depth customization, development, and use.
This is open source, open, and public!
I believe that after this, companies in every country can develop their own computer systems based on the open-source Geek computer system.
From now on, we no longer have to worry about the security of computer systems, and we don't have to worry about a certain company leaving backdoors in the computer system."
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap—...—
Hearing Gao Nian's words, the people at the scene immediately burst into warm applause, cheering for Geek Technology's decision.
Among them, whether Chinese or foreign people, a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes.
If Geek Technology's Geek computer system is successful, it means that Microsoft's monopoly will not be able to continue.
In the end, they really don't have to worry about Microsoft playing tricks in the system, which would lead to major problems at critical moments.
"As for the next thing, the problem of the Geek CPU processor.
This Geek CPU processor is essentially developed and manufactured based on the RISC-V open-source instruction set, and the RISC-V open-source instruction set itself is an open-source, open, and public instruction set.
So, in the field of computer CPU processors, any company can develop corresponding computer CPU processors based on the RISC-V open-source instruction set.
In addition, the Phoenix multimedia instruction set outside the RISC-V open-source instruction set will also adopt an open-source model after today.
Other companies can completely use the Geek computer system standard as the guideline, use the RISC-V open-source instruction set as the foundation, and the Phoenix multimedia instruction set as an auxiliary to develop their own computer CPU processors.
Therefore, in the new era of the Geek computer system, the future CPU processor manufacturers will definitely not be just our Geek Technology Company.
And there will not be the ridiculous situation where the global market capacity is so large, but there are only two computer CPU processor companies.
In the foreseeable future, it is normal for there to be several or even a dozen CPU processor companies in the market, ultimately allowing everyone to enjoy the price and performance benefits brought by full market competition."
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap—..."
After hearing Gao Nian's words, the people at the scene applauded again, cheering for Geek Technology's decision.
In response, Gao Nian smiled at Paul Otellini, the president of Intel, and Steve Ballmer, the president of Microsoft, who were sitting in the front row with livid faces.
Wanting to defeat the X86 computer system by relying solely on Geek Technology Company is actually an unlikely task.
Even if it is really completed, the Beautiful Country will definitely not be able to stand still and will immediately take action.
At that time, as long as they specifically attack Geek Technology Company, they can cause the Geek computer system to collapse and have no way to threaten the X86 computer system.
But now Geek Technology Company has made the Geek computer system and CPU processors all open source, which means that all companies in the world can enter the game without any obstacles as long as they want!
At that time, the Beautiful Country will find that even if they successfully attack and eliminate Geek Technology Company, they will not be able to suppress the frantically rising Geek computer system!
Because globally, as long as there are companies that continue to develop and manufacture CPU processors based on the Geek computer system and the RISC-V open-source instruction set, and launch their own versions of the Geek computer system.
Then the Geek computer system will still take root globally, even if the Beautiful Country completely bans the products of the Geek computer system.
Other countries and regions will also support the Geek computer system's Geek computers, eventually forming a situation where the world is interconnected.
After all, the Windows system is controlled by Microsoft, and Microsoft is backed by the Beautiful Country.
If necessary, it would be too easy for Microsoft to crash global computers, which naturally makes people highly vigilant.
Therefore, many insightful people, after realizing the potential threat, naturally call for the development of domestic computers and the development of domestic computer systems.
