Chapter 899 Mutual Contempt

"Qin Feng wants to integrate the GPU into the CPU. Is this possible?" Many directors looked at each other.

This technology is not simple.

"In terms of integration, it's not difficult!" Moore adjusted his glasses. "Technically speaking, although it is cumbersome, it can be done as long as the process is upgraded. However, the performance improvement brought by such integration is very limited. After all, the CPU is just that big, and if you add a GPU, the performance won’t be as good as it is!”

"At most it's an entry-level graphics card performance!" said someone from the technical department.

Everyone discussed and discussed it, and felt that Qin Feng's strategy was not very powerful.

Of course, no one took it lightly.

After all, although Qin Feng didn't pose much of a threat, he was annoying and cost them a lot of money.

"So, he will never be allowed to acquire NVIDIA. Of course, NVIDIA also refused directly. After all, it cooperates with Microsoft, and Microsoft and we have a cooperative relationship!" Barrett said.

"And this brings us back to the second issue, the cooperative relationship with Microsoft!" Barrett said, "How will we cooperate with Microsoft in the future?"

Although Intel and Microsoft created the win-tel alliance, they dominated the personal computer era.

However, there are also gaps in the cooperation between the two parties.

In 1978, 23-year-old Bill Gates met Grove, who was already the president of Intel, for the first time. The two parties discussed some future developments in the IT industry.

But at this time, although Bill Gates had already founded Microsoft, it was only a small company with 11 people and was unknown. Intel, on the other hand, is a large company with more than 10,000 employees and a multinational company.

The status of the two sides is very different.

At first, the two of them shared many of their views, so they chose to have dinner together.

But during dinner, many differences of opinion arose, leading to a quarrel. According to the recollections of some service staff in the restaurant, the two parties were so noisy that even the people in the kitchen were alarmed.

In the end, the food in front of Bill Gates remained motionless, and he was completely exhausted, and finally walked away.

Grove, on the other hand, slowly finished his portion of the set meal and finally left calmly.

Obviously, those so-called successful sales masters who say that successful people are innately well-educated are all nonsense.

The so-called aura, demeanor, wisdom, etc. all depend on your identity.

Successful people like Bill Gates, who has occupied the title of the world's richest man for many years, sometimes became so angry that he couldn't even eat because of the disparity in status, and finally walked away.

If the two sides quarrel again now, Bill Gates will definitely finish the meal in front of him with a smile on his face.

Because the status is different. Only with status can you have magnanimity.

This is just like why in society, some people who are not wealthy are more keen on buying famous brand bags. It is not only to satisfy personal vanity, but also a way to fill up their own lack of confidence through luxury goods.

Those rich people, such as those charterers in Lion City,

Wearing slippers and big pants walking around all day long. They don't wear famous brands, but they are equally confident. That's because they can spend money to buy a bunch of bags at any time, so they are very confident.

They don't need designer bags to decorate themselves, because the many keys in their hands are the best decorations. On the contrary, if we didn’t have these keys, not so many suites, and running around for three meals a day, would we still be so confident and calm?

Today, the status of Intel and Microsoft has begun to reverse.

So, how does Intel handle its relationship with Microsoft?

After all, the relationship between the two parties has been very unharmonious over the years, and they have only maintained close cooperation for the sake of common interests.

For example, Intel's programmers' compiled programs are always streamlined, ingenious, simple and efficient. On the contrary, Microsoft's programs are always full of errors and have low execution efficiency. Intel's compiler is always two or three times faster than Microsoft's.

Intel has been internally ridiculing Microsoft programmers, not because of low ability, but because of low morals. Because this is a matter of professional ethics and quality, as a programmer, you should come up with efficient and simple programs. To make this kind of procedure is a matter of professional ethics.

At one time, Intel programmers also gave suggestions to Microsoft programmers on some of their Excel codes. It is believed that after modification, the program efficiency can be increased by more than 8 times.

However, this proposal was dismissed by Microsoft programmers. If someone who works on CPUs comes to give advice to those who work on software, that is just trying to do the same thing.

It can be said that programmers on both sides have despised each other for many years and looked down upon each other.

However, under the mutual benefit, both parties have always maintained external harmony.

But Intel, led by Grove, has relied heavily on Microsoft.

This also became Grove's biggest regret in his life.

The kid who was so angry with himself that he walked away because of his disagreement with his ideas and couldn't even take a bite of food has grown into Optimus Prime. Intel, on the other hand, declined.

"What should we do?" Barrett asked.

Many directors remained silent this time.

This matter is very serious, and if you are not careful, it may cause a violent shock.

For now, Intel is even more vulnerable.

At this time, Moore took out a document.

"At the beginning, we wanted to launch NSP technology (native signal processing technology), but this would have an impact on Microsoft's software standard architecture. They were worried that we would impact their status, so they publicly opposed NSP and threatened us many times. . In the end, we chose to give up," Moore said.

Many directors exclaimed, never expecting such a thing to happen.

Although everyone is a director, after all, many executive directors are not clear about some things.

"Perhaps from that moment on, Grove was reviewing his previous attitude towards Microsoft." Moore said, "And he also developed a set of plans for Microsoft and us!" Moore said.

This sounds convoluted. To put it simply, if Microsoft targets Intel, then Intel must take countermeasures.

Moore handed the documents to everyone.

This countermeasure plan is for Intel to use its position among OEM manufacturers to develop or acquire a system, and then use its position to allow those OEM manufacturers to pre-install their systems.

Intel could then sell the CPU for $100 and the system for $1. In order to impact Microsoft's position.

After all, at this stage, major OEM manufacturers, while purchasing Intel CPUs, also spend money to purchase Microsoft operating systems.

And neither is cheap. If you can install a system for just $1, Intel's status is not impossible to change the attitude of major software vendors.

However, this also has a fatal flaw.
