Improve Pentium performance, enhance Celeron performance and reduce price.


    This set of strategies is based on inter sufficient technical reserves. At the same time, it also represents a blow to Godson. Position it at the level of Celeron processor.


    Compared with Inter, it is far from worthy.


    "But here, I hope the board of directors can approve that we launch Pentium 2!" Grove said.


    "Pentium generation 2!" Many directors changed slightly.


    In Inter''s strategy, it is always said that a new generation of processors will be launched under the market prospect after the value of a processor is squeezed to the highest.


    Originally in Inter''s plan, Pentium 2 generation, they plan to go public again early next year. In this way, the Pentium 1 generation, Pentium CPU with integrated MMX instruction set, can still make half a year''s money.


    Almost, just empty the inventory. This will maximize benefits.


    But it''s too early to launch it now.


    "Our Pentium 1 generation can actually suppress Godson through overclocking! Now our external chips are mainly Pentium 200, but we can launch the overclocking version of 233266 or even 300. " Some directors said.


    In this way, it can surpass Huaxia dragon core in performance in an instant. In addition, after Celeron also integrates the MMX instruction set, it can also chase Godson with a slight price reduction. After this pressure, the life of Longxin is difficult.


    "Simply pursuing processor frequency, I believe Godson can do it. They use the 0.18 micron process. I think their chip frequency can reach at least 500 MHz under the 0.18 micron process. Although our Pentium 1 generation can also achieve this, because the process is not mature enough, if it reaches this frequency, it will cause extreme instability of the CPU. This will affect performance instead. " Grove said, "so we directly launched the second generation and used the new CPU architecture to hang Huaxia Longxin! This opponent must be strangled. Otherwise, let it develop, I''m afraid it will be our most troublesome enemy! "


    Grove''s attention made many directors feel a little fuss. After all, profit comes first. If you push it out in advance, the profit will be less.


    "I agree!" This is Gordon Moore.


    "Ah?" Many directors were surprised.


    "Huaxia Longxin occupies the Huaxia market. We must pay attention to it and suppress it this morning. Otherwise they will be more difficult than AMD. In particular, the other party has the courage to break the price bottom line! " Gordon Moore said.


    With the support of Gordon Moore, the whole resolution was adopted quickly.


    Subsequently, inter announced that it would launch a new Pentium 2 processor: kramas at the end of this month.


    A minimum configuration is 233 frequency CPU, and the maximum frequency is 333mhz. Next year, the Pentium 2 with 100MHz bus will be launched, and its frequency can easily reach 450MHz.


    At the same time, a new 0.28 micron process will be adopted. In addition, while maintaining the MMX instruction set, 32KB L1 cache and 512KB L2 cache will be provided.


    As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.


    Because this CPU is undoubtedly far beyond all CPUs now. In particular, Pentium 2 not only improves the process, but also provides L2 cache. The emergence of L2 cache will greatly improve the performance of CPU.


    It can be said that Inter has no rivals in the whole CPU high-end market.


    Huaxia Longxin generation 1, which was originally comparable to Pentium mmx200, was thrown away.


    Performance will vary greatly. Of course, at present, because it has not been listed, we don''t know how different it is. However, performance leadership is positive.


    Subsequently, inter also announced the upgrading of Celeron processor.


    Celeron generation 2. The 0.28 micron process is also adopted, although there is no L2 cache, but the MMX instruction set is enhanced. And the selling price will be reduced to the range of 600 yuan.


    At present, Celeron generation 1 is priced at 800 yuan. Now, the performance of Celeron generation 2 is enhanced and the price is less than 600 yuan. It has to be said that this is the impact on the current Huaxia Longxin outside.


    Major newspapers and magazines have reported the news of inter one after another. At the same time, they all claim that the strongest opponent of Huaxia Longxin is Celeron 2?


    Originally, it was believed that Huaxia Longxin was a processor challenging Pentium. Now look at the blue screen. With Inter''s strong technical reserves, I''m afraid it can only challenge Celeron.


    There is no comparison with Pentium.


    Of course, now everything is unknown. After all, Inter''s chip is not yet on the market.


    No one knows what the data are.


    Can only wait for its listing evaluation.


    But this time, Inter''s action came too fast.


    After announcing the news, just a week later, major foreign evaluation rooms got the latest Pentium 2 and Celeron 2.


    "Qin Feng, this is the latest evaluation of Pentium 2 and Celeron 2!" Lei Jun hurried to get the latest data.


    These latest CPUs are naturally unavailable to Qin Feng. Including the whole China, I didn''t get it. Obviously, this is also an inter defense to avoid having Countermeasures in advance.


    Qin Feng took the data and frowned.


    Pentium 2, with L2 cache and 0.28 micron process CPU, integrates 7.5 million transistors, and its performance is at least twice that of the previous Pentium 1 generation MMX and chips with the same frequency.


    This gap is a little big.


    "Of course, the price is a little high!" Lei Jun said, "this Pentium 2 CPU with secondary cache costs up to 5300 yuan."


    5300 yuan, which is even more outrageous.


    Under the challenge of godson, the price is so outrageous that people are stunned.


    This also shows that inter didn''t pay attention to Godson at all. And with its absolute performance advantage, it can crush you.


    "What about Celeron 2?" Qin Feng asked.


    "With the addition of MMX instruction set and the use of new technology, the performance of Celeron 2 is almost the same as that of our CPU. Compared with our godson, there is a 20% gap in integer performance, but the floating-point operation ability is almost the same. " Lei Jun said, "the price, compared with the price on our market, still has some advantages. After all, those bosses of SEG sell more expensive. "


    "Don''t worry about the price. We can ship at 400 yuan. That''s cheaper. SEG, those bosses don''t understand the market! " Qin Feng said, "they will not blindly make money. Especially so many people! It''s just, technical short handle! Our skills are terrible! "


    "Indeed! I suspect that there are three generations behind Inter, and maybe four generations. So what shall we do now? " Lei Jun smiled bitterly.


    "Do you think our challenge is too reckless!" Qin Feng asked.


    Lei Jun nodded and shook his head.


    "The strength of Inter has always been here. If we don''t challenge, we will miss the opportunity. This point has been known since we started to do CPU. " Lei Jun said.


    "Yes! Therefore, we can only go up in the face of difficulties! "
