The second production line was successfully assembled and debugged under the protection of strong funds.


    Of course, there are still a few weeks before formal production.


    And during this time, everything was calm.


    After the initial price reduction frenzy in the market, the market has gradually calmed down with no subsequent price reduction by Intel and Godson or other promotional activities.


    In China, with the endorsement of the official media, most ordinary computer users choose Godson. After all, the performance is better and the price is the same.


    Then naturally choose Godson.


    Some high-end users still choose Pentium 2. After all, the performance of Pentium 2 does hit Godson. There is no denying this.


    For the time being, everyone is well water, not river water.


    Of course, everyone with a clear eye knows that Intel is ready to spend money to kill Godson.


    After all, when you don''t make money, it depends on how long you consume energy. There is only one Huaxia market for Godson. But Intel still has a global market. In this way, Godson can''t afford to consume.


    When worried about Godson in the market, there was a company that felt speechless.


    Who do we recruit and provoke? How did the market become like this—— This company is AMD.


    AMD is a good sophomore and slowly develops its CPU. As a result, the sky dropped a godson, and then combined with Intel to stir up the whole CPU market.


    Originally, amd also prepared to watch the play and watch the tiger fight on the mountain. As a result, without waiting for them to see Intel or Godson house collapse, a third of their own acre was harmed.


    This time, my heart is bleeding.


    Originally, they were still selling K6-2. They thought they could sell it for more than half a year. It can also make a wave of money safely. After all, the performance is similar to Pentium, and the price should be cheaper. Then the K5 series is similar to Celeron, and the price should be cheaper.


    They rely on such a little cheaper to occupy the market share. As a result, who expected that the market would be upgraded all at once.


    Pentium becomes Pentium 2 and Celeron becomes Celeron 2. This Pentium 2 sling hit K6-2, they recognized it. After all, the high-end processor market has always been Intel''s world. They never expected to rob. They were satisfied to be able to share such a small cup of rice.


    But in the low-end market, they won''t give up. The results are good now. Celeron 2 comes out, and its performance is similar to that of their K6-2 processor. It is far from beating their K5 processor.


    Not only that, the price is an avalanche. Celeron originally sold about 800 and K5 sold 600 or 700. Anyway, it should be cheaper.


    Now, Celeron 2 sells for 430 yuan! Is this what people do?


    Jerry Sanders, President of AMD, looked at the market price list in his hand and looked depressed.


    Celeron 2233430 yuan, Celeron 2266450 yuan. Huaxia Longxin 1 generation 300430 yuan.


    These three prices deeply hurt his heart.


    They''re not human!


    "President, now in the Chinese market, our sales volume has reduced to single digits!" The secretary came and reported.


    Single digit sales! This is no different from being eliminated by the market.


    "What about the global market?" Sanders snorted.


    "Er... The high-end market share is 8%, and the low-end market share is 1.3%!" The Secretary said in a low voice.


    Jerry Sanders''s face twitched.


    Originally in the high-end market, AMD''s market share was about 18%. The low-end market is about 35%. As a result, a large part of the high-end market has been robbed. Of course, he recognizes this. Pentium 2 is so strong. However, he can''t stand the scum of the low-end market.


    "Celeron 2!" Jerry Sanders gnashed his teeth.


    "What about our next generation of processors?" Asked Jerry Sanders.


    The next generation processors are K7 and k6-3, both of which adopt 0.18 micron process. K7 is for the high-end market and k6-3 is for the low-end market.


    "Plan to go public in 1999!" The Secretary reported.


    Under normal circumstances, Intel will not launch Pentium 2 so early, and will launch Pentium 2 at the end of next year. After that, AMD will keep up. After all, amd has been a catch-up in recent years.


    Who would have expected that after being stimulated by Qin Feng, Intel took out laboratory products a year in advance. This makes amd speechless.


    "To speed up research, we must launch it as soon as possible!" Jerry Sanders, cold hum.


    Later, Jerry Sanders held a board meeting to discuss the matter.


    "If we launch K7 and k6-3 in advance, we will lose a lot!" Many directors are also worried.


    This requires increasing R & D capital investment and recovering most CPUs on the market. So they lose a lot.


    "If we don''t follow up quickly, we will be eliminated by the market. K7 and k6-3 must be launched as soon as possible! " Jerry Sanders said.


    If it''s too late, the market will have no place for them.


    K7, which is comparable to Pentium 2. Of course, the performance will be slightly worse. But at least it can compete. It won''t be hanged like K6-2. As for the k6-3, its performance is better than that of Celeron 2. Of course, the price of Celeron 2 is a little painful.


    "In terms of money, you don''t have to worry. I''ll talk to investors!" Jerry Sanders said.


    For a company, nothing is more important than money.


    Originally, amd would not lack funds. After all, in the market, they can also occupy more than 30% of the market share as a whole. But after being disturbed by Qin Feng, they almost collapsed.


    Therefore, we can only find the gold owner.


    Amd has been supported by a consortium called atic in Abu Dhabi. These oil tyrants never lack money. For them, investing a little money in AMD is just a matter of convenience.


    Although it is said that AMD''s market share is now suspended by Intel every year. Intel has almost 80% of the market share, while amd has only 20%. But Abu Dhabi''s oil tyrants, it doesn''t matter if they lose some money.


    Therefore, this is also the reason why Jerry Sanders, or AMD, still has confidence in such a severe market.


    "Money? That''s all right. How much! " The atic consortium in Abu Dhabi asked richly, "what is your income this year?"


    Jerry Sanders was a little proud.


    "Last year our annual revenue exceeded..." Jerry Sanders was about to proudly introduce AMD''s market share and annual revenue last year.


    When amd was founded, it had eight employees and no office space. They started their own business in their own house. Now, it is a large company with more than 5000 employees and sales of more than $2 billion.


    But before he could speak, the tyrant of the atic consortium in Abu Dhabi waved his hand.


    "Don''t talk to me about useless things. In a word, how much do you want!" The local tyrant of Abu Dhabi atic consortium asked casually.
