Cambridge is located in the northeast of London, about 70 kilometers.
On Saturday, October 5, Eric brought Carolyn to Cambridge early in the morning. In order to avoid being followed by paparazzis who have always been around Film Studio in Pine Forest, they also took a helicopter.
Carolyn took a month to collect a lot of information about ARM, and also contacted ARM ’s Chairman Roger · Will. I realized that Eric ’s interest in ARM was also very eager. The two parties agreed to meet today. a bit.
Although the same surname is Will, but Roger · Will is not related to the Carolyn family, just like Barbara Bullock ’s half-brother Michael · Will, Will is a very common The surname of United Kingdom.
Eric is still interested in discussing this issue with Carolyn on helicopters. Carolyn just says that their family is Will in Berkshire. Although the girls do n’t have any sense of pride when speaking, the tone of the voice is taken for granted The feeling for Eric is like that in the ancient times, the son of Zhao Song said that we are the Zhao family of Hejian.
Historic Cambridge City does not have any tall buildings, and there are simple houses that look at least a few hundred years old. If it is not the modern car on both sides of the road, it is very disruptive to the atmosphere. It is definitely more enjoyable in a town full of historical charm.
The agreed time with Roger · Will is two o'clock in the afternoon, and Eric will hang out in Cambridge with Carolyn in the morning.
It was originally meant to steal a half-day of life, but unfortunately Eric and Carolyn walked together, it was still too striking. This is not because of the looks of the two men and women, mainly because their height difference is too wide. Even though Carolyn wears high-heeled short boots, their height is still only Eric shoulders, they are still wearing a black trench coat today. Although the Carolyn women's trench coat is definitely a lot smaller than Eric, it still looks a bit like a couple.
Finally, passing by a women's clothing store, Eric took care of it, walked in with the girl in, and then came out. The costume of Eric was still the same, but Carolyn was replaced by the pink women's hooded jacket. Casual pants, but the original high-heeled short boots were replaced with white flat shoes.
Throw the clothes just changed from Carolyn to the follower who was not far behind. Eric looked up and down at the girl with some uncomfortable expression and smiled: "This is so pleasing to the eye."
Carolyn noticed the mischievous smile on the corner of Eric's mouth and said shamefully: "Eric, you must be playing something bad again."
Eric shook his head and said: "No, we will not attract others' attention, everyone will only think that you are my sister or something."
Carolyn wrinkled her little nose in distress, and said, "I don't want to be your sister."
Eric casually said: "Then my cousin is good."
Carolyn determined that Eric did not refute any more after making jokes, but Xiao Naogua involuntarily turned around on issues such as United Kingdom law and genetics.
Continue to hang out in the narrow alleys of Cambridge. After passing a boutique, Eric saw a light gray deer hunter hat in the store and bought a pair of it. By the way, the flat glasses used as cover Put away.
Carolyn fiddled with that hat with Eric interest, and awkwardly said, "You are nothing like Sherlock Holmes."
Eric pressed down the brim and smiled: "Is it because it is so handsome?"
Carolyn smiled and said: "No, because the original book set Sherlock Holmes as a middle-aged man, he still has a beard."
Eric said: "Maybe I can invest in a younger version of Sherlock Holmes in the future. The background is modern, and Charlotte and Watson also have to follow the trend and be memorable."
Carolyn imagined the scene where Eric ruined the classics, and laughed: "Oh, that must be a mess."
Eric smiled and said: "Maybe everyone will like it."
University of Cambridge has several 30 colleges and research institutions, scattered in the southwest of Cambridge.
Carolyn took Eric to visit some well-known colleges, and also went to the dormitory where she used to live with Rachel. At 11 am, under the recommendation of Carolyn, the two settled their lunch in a pizzeria. Afterwards, I wandered to a small park opposite the Queen ’s College of Cambridge, which is not too far away from the cafe agreed with Roger · Will. Between the small park and the Queen ’s College is the famous Cam-River, transliterated as Kang River, and there are many bridges on the river.
It ’s past noon and I ’m not going to go shopping. Eric asks for the ARM information from the bodyguards that came with him. I came to the park and sat down on a bench in Jianhe, knocked on the side, Carolyn Also sit down.
The sunshine in autumn always brings a bit of coldness and paleness, which is easy to make people feel, but fortunately, it is noon. Sprinkling on the body can always bring a little warmth.
Lift your legs and put the materials on your knees, sniffing the light fragrance from Carolyn beside you. Eric randomly opened the materials in his hands. He had read them several times before, and some important information was also recorded. in mind.
Speaking of this, the reason for the emergence of ARM processors is very interesting, one word, poor.
In the early 1980s, with the rise of the PC, United KingdomBBCTV Station made a documentary about the microprocessor, which caused a strong response from the audience. The BBC then decided to cooperate with Acorn Computer, which can be said to be the parent company of ARM, to launch A cheap PC is sold to interested audiences.
Acorn is very poor, unlike the IT industry giants such as United States's IBM and Intel, they do not have the financial resources to develop high-performance processor chips with a complex instruction set (CISC) as their core, and can only use relatively few transistors. Based on the reduced instruction set (RISC), a low-cost, low-power processor is developed.
But because of the overall trend of the entire PC industry to pursue more powerful processors, Acorn quickly decayed after a short period of success with cheap factors.
In 1990, the Apple computer company noticed the advantages of ARM technology and cooperated with some engineers of the original Acorn company to establish the ARM company to develop processor chips for the Apple Newton tablet computer.
Although the Newton tablet has a very advanced design concept, its practicality is very low and the price is high. After launching several generations of products, it is now on the verge of being discontinued.
Because of the failure of the Newton tablet, ARM has experienced a few years of low ebb. In the past two years, because of the rise of digital mobile phones, ARM has once again found a development direction. At present, ARM is working closely with Texas Instruments to develop ARM technology. Framed mobile phone chip.
Coincidentally, this chip was developed by Nokia Committee Todd State Instruments.
Although Nokia has a strong advantage in digital communication technology, independent chip research and development has just begun. Prior to this, processors from chip manufacturers such as Texas Instruments were used.
At the moment, because the first ARM mobile phone chip has not been officially launched, ARM has not attracted much attention in the industry. ARM is also not listed, and the shareholding structure is relatively simple. It is mainly scattered in the hands of Apple Inc. and ARM parent company. It only takes about 80 million USD to buy ARM.
The external licensing status of ARM technology is not as flooded as previous life. At present, there are only a few Apple computers and Texas Instruments. After buying ARM, it is easy to control the further spread of ARM technology.
It's just that the layout of ARM technology needs to be carefully considered. (To be continued.)
