Chapter 1625 Bluffing

Paul Walker's idea of ​​getting rid of this guy in a short time is gone now. Being able to place the negotiation venue on Lanai Island is a rare bastard in ancient and modern times.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you put these things aside for the time being, but can you also let go of your habit of constantly resorting to off-board moves?

This is more difficult. How could a cutthroat person like William White admit those dirty things?

The idea of ​​having a picnic on the island was dashed as the wild boar overrun made it unsafe to stay on the island without a thorough cleanup.

William White wanted to cry now. What on earth was he thinking at the beginning? How could he make such a funny mistake.

Not to mention the worries here, Wall Street, which has always been relatively calm, suddenly came out with the news that the White System was negotiating to purchase AMD.

As we all know, AMD and Intel have been at odds with each other. Now it's a bit silly to say right and wrong. How should I put it? There are indeed a lot of misunderstandings and coincidences mixed in.

The predecessor of AMD and Intel was Fairchild Semiconductor, founded in 1957 by Dr. Shockley, an entrepreneurial physicist.

Of course, this guy is also very good at selecting and appointing talents. He has recruited eight of the world's top talents, almost all of them are top-notch, or because the cards are too good and the good cards are played badly. In the end, these All the talents left him.

This includes Andy Grove and Gordon Moore, the two founders of Intel, as well as Jerry Sanders, the founder of AMD. Think about it, just pick three out and they will be so good. If you can keep all of them, Fairchild may be the only one left in the semiconductor industry.

The 586 processor came out in 1993. It inherited 3.1 million transistors and could run 100 million addition instructions per second. The advent of the Pentium processor left AMD far behind. In order to avoid naming similarities with AMD, Intel did not Instead of using the previous name of 586, a new series was named Pentium. AMD has never defeated Intel in its four-year research and development process.

Of course, there is no such thing as a flower that lasts forever. In 1999, AMD released the K7 architecture processor, which is also known as the Athlon series. The frequency starts from 500MHz and uses the new Socket A socket, while Intel's Pentium processor is only 133MHz. The success of K7 made AMD a lot of money. In 2000, AMD's net sales reached 4.6 billion US dollars.

AMD is pursuing its victory and continues to launch K8 architecture processors. The biggest change of K8 is its support for 64-bit X86 instruction set. This scaling technology later became the industry standard, beating Intel's 64-bit architecture.

When things have reached this point, many people's minds have begun to wander. Hey, this AMD is very tough. If it can overthrow Intel, it will be very exciting in the future.

It’s funny to say that the 64-bit processor Power PC architecture of the White system completely beats Intel and AMD. However, when it comes to market share, the White system is very miserable. With a score of less than 15%, it is really difficult to win. People are satisfied.

But what if AMD is acquired?

Damn it, no need to do anything, just one acquisition, Intel will become the second brother.

Of course, this rumor is more of a joke to William White.

"Tch, Tom, are you planning to leave me?"

Faced with Fat Cat Tom's doubts, William White replied in an erroneous way. Of course, to be entrusted with an important task by William White, it is impossible for his brain to be too fragile.

Yes, how could it be AMD? According to the specific situations of these two companies, it is better to acquire Intel than AMD.

Intel plays with technology, while AMD pays attention to the market. It’s pointless to say which one is better and which one is worse. There is no standard answer to this kind of thing. Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before AMD surpasses Intel across the board.

So, what kind of company is White Systems?

At the end of the day, this is a modular company. You say that the technical structure is good, but these things are actually bought. As for the production process, this stuff is even more nonsense. If you can buy something, you have no idea why you produce it.

Yes, White Systems' strength lies in marketing and sales. The acquisition of Intel can improve its decadent appearance. I don’t know whether it will be successful or not, but if I have enough time, I think it won’t be too bad.

If Intel still has some benefits, AMD is really miserable. The CPU architecture is different and the target users are different. Your White system likes OEM, while AMD likes DIY.

Well, okay, it’s not that I don’t like OEM, whether you admit it or not, AMD does look a bit silly. If you are not convinced, go check out the branded machines. No one installs AMD chips on their flagship models. This is basically a consensus.

"Boss, what about these now?"

"Let them fly for a while. Speaking of which, if Intel can cooperate with us, world domination is really just around the corner."

Damn it, is this something you did? Fat Cat Tom wants to scold her, bastard, it doesn’t matter if you do this, this very useless department of mine will become very popular immediately.

"Boss, now it seems that Intel is dead. At the very least, it is highly likely that it will fall off the altar."

"Hey, hey, why don't you bet that after surpassing its competitors, AMD will no longer be in business.

There is a good product and a team that can't be defeated but can't be delayed, but it just doesn't know what to do. Or, there is actually a problem between them and Intel.

Really, Tom, if you don't understand this matter, it will definitely cause trouble in the future. "

All along, William White thought there was a story. Because in the competition between these two people, he actually smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Damn, those who were beating me here and there probably wanted to beat me to death with a stick.

"You know what I mean?"

"I got it. If we don't let these two bastards join forces to act and create some conflicts, it's best to just kill them all."

AMD is really sad. After challenging Intel with a certain outstanding technology or product, it was eventually suppressed by the powerful Intel. Because, in terms of strength and financial resources, AMD and Intel are not in the same order of magnitude. Faced with Intel's strength, AMD is unable to resist every time, which also makes AMD become a sad company.

William White even remembered that in the next short period of time, AMD even gained an overall lead. Leading in computing speed, leading in convenience of operation, and leading in sales performance.

However, it seems that this lead cannot be maintained for too long.

Hehe, it's a pity. I know the dirty tricks of your two families. If I can't take advantage of them, I, the boss, will be so stupid.
