Chapter 227 Display
The Y1601 chip on the Great Wall G1X has excellent performance. Xinyuan engineers estimated based on their experience in developing industrial software that it can also take on the graphics computing function of the GPU, and it is not a big problem to optimize and run large 3D games smoothly.
The 28nm process generates a lot of heat. The peak power of this chip can reach 150w, so it needs to be equipped with a fever-level gaming notebook cooling system and a 180w high-power power adapter, but this is also a minor problem.
Now the main problem is the lack of ecology. Fortunately, the government departments only need to keep it confidential. It is okay to temporarily pull it out to support the scene, and it is completely OK to use it.
This batch of G1X only produced more than 100 units because of the separate mold opening. The cost of each unit is more than 60,000 yuan, but the purchase price to the government is the expected cost price after mass production * 115%, 8599 yuan, so it is a full face project, but it is necessary.
However, G1X is not without highlights, that is, it integrates the artificial intelligence "Qiongqi" internally.
As a huge advantage of ternary chips, how can AI fall behind?
Under the lens of many media, the person in charge of Great Wall Computer powered on the G1X, turned it on, and shouted into the microphone in standard Mandarin:
"Qiongqi, are you there?"
The notebook made a prompt sound, and then everyone heard a female neutral voice through the microphone:
"I'm here, I'm the artificial intelligence Qiongqi, I can help you find information, operate software, and chat with you, you can also customize my name, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything."
This scene caused a lot of discussion among the people below. Although Apple launched the voice assistant Siri in 2011, it is still very dull and few people use it, and "artificial intelligence" is much more advanced than voice assistants.
The person in charge: "I want to name you 'Xiao Ai', the Ai of Ai Cao."
"(Ding), I received your naming command and recorded the sound. Now I am Xiao Ai, the Ai of Ai Cao. What can Xiao Ai do for you? You can say, what is the weather like today?"
The person in charge did not speak, but unplugged the power cord and picked up the laptop, walked all the way to the audience and pointed to a certain audience:
"In order to show the authenticity of Xiao Ai, we welcome media people to ask various questions. I will randomly select people present to ask questions, or you can raise your hand yourself."
The person who was pointed at was a little embarrassed. He was wearing a suit and walked forward and asked:
"Can I ask anything?"
The person in charge realized that the person in front of him looked familiar, and secretly annoyed that he had not paid much attention just now. The people sitting in the front row were all industry leaders.
"Yes, you can ask any questions."
Lei Jun nodded and said to the computer:
"Xiao Ai, what is the most cost-effective domestic smartphone on the market now?"
"..."
The media present were speechless for a while, thinking that Lei Jun was deliberately making it difficult for Great Wall Computer.
Their impression of voice-based artificial intelligence is still mechanical interactive voice, such as "open XX software". How can they answer questions directly?
But what they didn't expect was that the person in charge of Great Wall Computer breathed a sigh of relief, and G1X rang to indicate that it had received it, and then a voice sounded:
"We are looking for the most cost-effective domestic mobile phone for you... It was found that about 61% of netizens think that the most cost-effective mobile phone is "Xiaomi 5", 18% of netizens think it is OnePlus 3, and the most cost-effective mobile phone among the 100-yuan phones is Redmi Pro.
Among them, Xiaomi 5 uses Qualcomm 820 processor...
... In summary, I suggest you choose a reasonable mobile phone according to your budget requirements to improve your user experience."
The technical engineer next to the Apple China executives who were invited to participate shrank his eyes and almost stood up.
Voice assistants that can search the Internet are not rare, but they can independently summarize data instead of reading encyclopedias, and can also do it with reason and evidence, which can really be described as artificial intelligence.
This is several levels stronger than their SIRI!
Lei Jun was also shocked. Xiaomi is already working on a voice assistant and is preparing to launch its own mobile smart voice assistant next year, so he is also very clear about how powerful the artificial intelligence on the G1X is!
It is simply... admirable.
The person in charge smiled and asked him: "Mr. Lei, what do you think of this answer?"
Lei Jun (looking around to attract the media's camera): "Artificial intelligence can only give a fair judgment. I think Xiaomi 5 is indeed the most cost-effective mobile phone on the market."
Person in charge: "Does anyone else want to experience it?"
The G1X was sent to a middle-aged man in the third row, and the media took a picture of the "Huawei" work badge on his chest.
"Xiao Ai, can you write a piece of C language code that can output 'hello world' after running it?"
"Hello, Xiao Ai is based on the 'Taishan' architecture and does not support C language code commands, but I can search for possible correct answers for you online... The most likely answer is as follows:
# include <stdio.h>..."
Lines of code appeared on the screen. This command is very simple, so the people present can read it at a glance and know whether it is correct or not.
"..."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth but could not say anything. He just expressed his admiration and sat down.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively, and everyone came up to ask all kinds of strange questions:
"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, what is the floating point computing capacity of this laptop?"
"Xiao Ai, can you help me create a new ppt?"
"Xiao Ai, can you pretend to be a cat lady and talk to me?"
"Xiao Ai, who do you think will win this year's Ami boss election?"
"..."
All kinds of random questions were asked, but Xiao Ai performed steadily. G1X has a built-in Gigabit network card, and there are four wireless transponders at the venue to provide him with high-speed network support, making retrieval and analysis very fast.
If I had to define "Qiongqi", it would probably be a voice version of the newBing chatbot that can search and answer various questions online.
In fact, the chatbot equipped with Jingwei Information Communication’s navigation software is almost as intelligent, but ‘Jingwei’ cannot be used offline, while Qiongqi can also assist in office work locally.
It's just that the most commonly used function by Jingwei users is "I want to go to XXX" and then they plan their own routes. Not many people really bother to chat with it.
When the G1X finally had to be taken back by the person in charge because the battery was about to run out, the representatives sent by the major manufacturers present felt the power of "Qiongqi" firsthand.
Just like the name comes from an ancient beast, Qiongqi's intelligence and perfection are simply not what they should be in 2016.
Many of the questions they asked seemed absurd, but they were actually testing Qiongqi's reaction ability.
The results are stunning.
Finally, when the person in charge completed the presentation and completed the delivery ceremony with each unit, the unified question in the audience was:
Where can I buy G1X?
"G series notebooks are currently only sold through the official website and major e-commerce platforms. Due to the recent tight production capacity, the first batch is limited to 10,000 units. Friends who like it can place an order!"
In fact, the production capacity is not that tight. The main reason is that the current price is to sell 10,000 units, and each unit will lose a few thousand. In the future, it will definitely be a well-designed version, and the cost will be much cheaper than the improvised G series.
