Chapter 354: A New Era

With the troubles here over, William White no longer cares, he has more important things to focus on.

After Intel got rid of the burden, it began to pack lightly, frequently skipping tickets for the new CPU, and finally unveiled the mystery.

For this forced CPU, William White has no expectations. To put it bluntly, its architecture is not as good as Motorola's 6800. The only thing worthy of praise is that IBMPC finally has a 32-bit processor.

Many people believe that 80486 determined Intel's industry status. This so-called 386 is a serious congenital deficiency.

This view has some truth, but it is not comprehensive. In fact, it is useless to take out 80486 now, the price of supporting memory is too expensive, the hard disk is only about 40 megabytes, and the calculation speed of the CPU is also a waste.

Correspondingly, Motorola also launched the 6900 series, the specific parameters are also comparable to 386, and there is no outstanding performance.

For this kind of carelessness, Motorola still has a lot of complaints. However, William White doesn't buy it at all. If you are not satisfied, we will get together and break up.

These idiots don't know what to think. Apple's new models have not been able to show up for a long time, and Wang An Computer is also frying cold dishes. This buddy is basically a waste.

In the face of two unsatisfactory partners, what can you do to William White? The first to adopt this CPU was not a computer at all.

Yes, the arcade machine in Legend World has been fully upgraded. With the support of 2D accelerator card and 32-bit processor, this arcade machine has undergone essential changes.

"A graphics accelerator card?"

"Yes, they have launched engineering cards using PCI card slots, with excellent performance, especially for our Windows 1.0, the effect is very significant, but the price is expensive."

Bill Gates listened to his subordinates' report with a strange expression on his face. He was wondering if Jobs was yelling at him now.

Well, someone guessed it right. As an engineering dog, Jobs certainly knew the function of this thing. He didn't have to try it to know that if this thing was used on the iOS system, the Macintosh would take off.

Faced with Jobs' complaints, William White didn't take it seriously, that broken chassis of yours has a place for this stuff.

Besides, don't you need to look at the price? The price of two Macintosh computers is only the price of an accelerator card. What computer do you install this thing on?

IBM is very painful, and the White system directly chooses to ignore them. People's advertisements also say that they are compatible with 386 and 6900, and they don't even mention IBM PC.

In their view, this thing shouldn't appear on PCs at all. If you do this, the status of minicomputers is really embarrassing.

When Compaq launched the so-called graphics computer, IBM was indeed very embarrassed. They found that their minicomputer was no match at all.

The Compaq family is not the only one planning to do this. Today's computers can already handle some graphic design needs. With this graphics accelerator card, customers with these needs are also increasing.

Seeing this opportunity, many knowledgeable guys began to move around. It is useless to have a computer alone. Without software, no matter how powerful the hardware is, it will be for nothing.

"Boss, Motorola has a lot of complaints about our approach."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"They'd rather be able to make boards, not GPUs."

William White smiled wryly. Why didn't he want to win all of them? However, the price of memory nowadays is unbearable to look at directly, and it may not be profitable to produce it yourself.

"Tell them that I don't agree. They can keep their opinions. If they think they are capable and let them produce by themselves, I don't support or object. They will get a better price. This is my bottom line."

"Okay, boss, I see."

Well, they really can't say anything more. William White has already given in. Judging from that, they are not optimistic about this business at all.

In fact, William White's set is very common in later generations. Companies that produce GPUs usually release a public version and then authorize it.

You can produce more high-end boards according to your own positioning, and you can also produce cheap boards with lower indicators. As for marketing, that is your own business.

This thing is nothing in later generations, but it is simply unreasonable in today's IT world.

Many people find that this product really hates the factory. If it is not a last resort, absolutely will not produce any products in the United States.

The donkey naturally doesn't like this guy, and neither does the guild. This bastard who doesn't offer jobs to Americans is just a mean vampire.

The only embarrassing thing for them is that this bastard has been named the best employer for many years in a row. Looking at this year's posture, it seems that he will be re-elected.

However, although his company also had a guild, it was severely weakened. To put it bluntly, it's just a signboard.

William White didn't mind sharing benefits with workers, nor did he mind having any partners. The only criticism is that this guy seems to have a very bad temper.

Guild request?

No, it will not be considered.

Not satisfied?

Great, you can leave now.

The most annoying thing is that these so-called demands will be adopted soon, even more than they demanded.

After playing a few times, no one went to find any guild anymore. In the eyes of the workers, this is a bunch of waste.

Since William White hated opening factories, Motorola had nothing to say. Really let them do it themselves, this determination is really hard to make.

At least Wall Street believed in William White more, even though they hated the guy too. However, this will not affect their judgment. Since William White does not support it, you should play with mud yourself.

"Boss, what about government procurement?"

"Oh, why is this kind of thing again?"

Tom was also very speechless. This so-called second supplier was really nonsense.

"There is no second supplier, they don't have to use it, and Intel doesn't have a second supplier anymore? Why are they okay?"

"Then I'll find out more."

"Hehe, AMD's quality is better than him, and the price is lower than him. Andy Grove must be very happy, right? Hahaha!"

Tom is also powerless to complain about the boss's schadenfreude. In fact, he is also worried about this kind of thing, research and development and production, sometimes you can only pay attention to one. It is simply impossible for such a thing to have both fish and bear's paw.

From this moment on, AMD started its counterattack. No matter how good Intel is, this Xiaoqiang is uncompromising.

"No government procurement? Is he serious?"

"That's it. Anyway, there is no second supplier. It is strange to say that he has thrown out so many production licenses, why the GPU just refuses to give it."

"Hehe, he didn't give the CPU either. That foot basin company is just a manufacturer and has no research and development capabilities."

"Boss, you mean, he is worried about AMD?"

"Hehe, if you don't do this, it will definitely appear. In fact, this so-called second supplier is really a bit of nonsense. William White is right. I spent so much effort to develop it, why should I let you take advantage of it?" .”
