In the plan formulated by grove, Intel develops the operating system, and then uses its strong influence on OEMs to push their operating system. It sells CPU for $100 and operating system for $1.
This is a strategy against Microsoft.
But the downside is that Microsoft can do the same. Microsoft can buy AMD, then sell the operating system for $100 and CPU for $1. This result will lead to the loss of both sides.
The shares of both sides will fall sharply because of their behavior. Eventually, although they seize the market, they will form the tragedy of two headed snakes swallowing each other. In the end, no one can benefit.
Therefore, this is only an ultimate means. One day, if Microsoft wants to sanction Intel, it will sacrifice the ultimate means.
This is just like the nuclear bomb in the real world. It is powerful, but it will hurt both sides and can''t be used.
"So what should we do?" A director has a headache.
"Barrett, you are the current president, you decide!" Morgan said.
Although Morgan is one of the founders and the second president, after all, he is old, so he won''t take over.
Beret thought for a moment.
"At present, I think we should wait and see what happens. Then, if necessary, take out tuladin. As for Qin Feng''s integration plan, it may not succeed! " Barrett said.
Intel also tried to make an integration plan last year. Of course, that is not because of Qin Feng, but Intel''s attempt to resist Microsoft''s hegemony.
Intel tried to create the idea of packaging graphics chips and motherboard chipsets together. But in the end, after trying for some time, he gave up. Because doing so, one is technically difficult, and the second will set up too many enemies.
Originally, intel was an opponent AMD, at most a monk Qin Feng. But these are not real opponents. After all, Intel has technical advantages.
However, when he enters the graphics chip market and the motherboard chip market, he will face competition from all companies in the world. The other party may not unite, but it will join hands to drive Intel out.
Therefore, after some attempts, grove believes that it is not cost-effective for Intel to offend global affiliates in order to fight Microsoft. So I gave up.
As for tuladin, their original plan was only put forward around 2002. It''s better now. If it is taken out this year, it will be four years ahead of schedule.
However, this is also necessary.
At present, Qin Feng is still fighting against their Pentium 2 with a similar core of Pentium 1 generation.
There was no comparison.
But Qin Feng is constantly improving the frequency.
For example, Intel''s chips are indeed efficient and can handle more tasks in a time period. Qin Feng''s dragon core can''t handle so many tasks in a period of time. But Qin Feng can shorten the task cycle and complete more tasks.
Of course, Intel can also improve the frequency performance of Pentium 2. But blindly promoting it is very annoying. Because this will reduce the profit margin.
It can be said that the higher the frequency, the lower the profit. Because the higher the frequency, the lower the yield of CPU and the higher the cost.
Naturally, the lower the profit.
However, at this stage, if there is any change in Qin Feng''s side, they can only prepare to take out the artifact of tulin.
After all, Turing''s technology, both core and frequency, will comprehensively attack all CPUs, and it is far away from a galaxy.
"As for the relationship with Microsoft, I think Microsoft is about to launch Win98. Let''s wait and see first. If Win98 is really so good, then we can only maintain the current relationship. On the contrary, if it is not good enough, we may be able to cooperate with some software manufacturers to launch replaceable products! " Beret said in a deep voice.
If you really want to be hard with Microsoft, it''s too expensive. Both sides will be in trouble.
We don''t start a company to fight. At the beginning, Bill Gates was swept away by Grove''s anger and lost all his face, but he finally chose to cooperate with Intel for so many years.
Money can solve everything.
Qin Feng, after the breakdown of the negotiations with NVIDIA, was also in deep thought.
Qin Feng didn''t expect that NVIDIA didn''t even give him a chance to talk, and didn''t give any chance to negotiate at all.
It has to be said that NVIDIA did the right thing politically.
After all, now I just keep the factory running by looking for bank loans. Microsoft, which is cooperated by NVIDIA, and Intel, which is cooperated by Microsoft, are not only rich and powerful, but also have technologies far beyond the industry.
This aspect is far better than my own side.
NVIDIA''s choice is also normal.
However, without NVIDIA, Qin Feng has no choice.
For example, the future fight against NVIDIA''s ATI display chip, that is, the so-called a card.
It''s a coincidence that he Guoyuan, the founder of ATI, is also a Chinese. Only in 1962, he moved to Xiangjiang, but after completing his studies in Baodao, he immigrated to Canada and founded ATI in Canada.
Therefore, it''s hard to say whether he Guoyuan has deep feelings for China, Xiangjiang or Baodao.
In particular, he Guoyuan believes in a theory called "wet towel".
What is the wet towel theory? It means that the company regards everyone who works as a wet towel. If you squeeze your last drop of water dry, you will lose it.
In short, when you extract all your surplus value, as a wage earner, you will be abandoned.
Therefore, for he Guoyuan, he is a poor boy from poverty to poverty. The whole family is very poor. There are four people in a family. Their parents, him and his eldest brother live in a single room without toilet. The room is small, leaving only a high-low berth and a parents'' bed.
In this environment, let him grow. Finally created ATI.
However, he Guoyuan founded ATI in 1985. Now 13 years have passed. ATI has changed from a small company with more than a dozen people starting a business in the garage to a large company with an output value of more than one billion US dollars this year.
On his own side, well, the shipment volume was pretty good, but the profit, Qin Feng thought about it and decided to change his mind.
Qin Feng seemed a little anxious before. He wanted to reach an in-depth cooperation agreement with NVIDIA and had the intention to make it his own company.
After all, it''s not impossible to spend money in advance. Even if the price is a little high. Qin Feng originally decided to spend about US $1 billion to acquire NVIDIA according to the company of NVIDIA.
Although the money is a little huge, Qin Feng can''t get it.
As for why I didn''t find ATI at the beginning, the reason is very simple. ATI is too powerful and its future prospects are not as good as NVIDIA.
But now it seems that we can only find ATI, the leader in the graphics chip market.
