Chapter 1021 Brand New Motherboard

Technology comes from money.

Without money, you are nothing.

This world is so cruel and direct.

Money is the basis of everything.

Then, Qin Feng received good news.

"Qin Feng, our integrated motherboard has finally been developed!" Lei Jun called excitedly.

During this period of time, he didn't pay much attention to Qin Feng's affairs.

This is not because he doesn't care, but because the company's research and development has reached a critical moment.

He was completely unable to separate himself. During this period, he stayed in the company's laboratory. When he felt sleepy, he would take a nap and continue working when he woke up.

He has not finished his work until today. Of course, the results are beautiful.

"The integration was successful?" Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes! The integration was successful! For now, we will launch two motherboards!" Lei Jun said.

Qin Feng looked excited.

"The first one is an entry-level 3D motherboard that only carries the voodoo1 display chip." Lei Jun said, "Basically speaking, you can play entry-level 3D games. Currently, mainstream 3D games can only open the lowest image quality."

"That's enough!" Qin Feng was surprised.

This result has exceeded Qin Feng's expectations.

Originally, Qin Feng thought that they could develop an integrated motherboard that could support graphics cards. Even if it's just 2D.

As a result, an entry-level integrated motherboard with voodoo1 performance is now directly available.

This is so powerful.

This can basically kill all entry-level graphics cards in the industry.

Qin Feng can assert that once this motherboard is launched, a large part of the graphics card market will die.

"The second model realizes the hybrid firefighting you mentioned." Lei Jun said, "We combine the 2D performance of the ATI graphics card and the 3D performance of the voodoo graphics card to achieve hybrid firefighting. On the motherboard, we installed a total of three chips .”

Three yuan? Qin Feng was surprised.

"Yes, two voodoo1 chips and one ATI chip!" Lei Jun said, "This kind of performance can basically reach the performance of a single voodoo2. Of course, the power consumption will be higher, and the heat dissipation requirements will be higher!"

Qin Feng was so shocked.

They actually came up with such technology.

You know, even if this is later generations, it seems that the hybrid firefight function was only available after 2010.

Qin Feng only proposed relevant ideas. As for how to implement them, Qin Feng didn't know. After all, it is too difficult.

Unexpectedly, they actually researched it.

This is really amazing.

It can be said that this is a breakthrough that completely breaks Qin Feng's cognition.

"Three companies are developing research and development, so it's reasonable to have a breakthrough!" Lei Jun smiled happily.

"What about the cost?" Qin Feng asked.

Currently on the market, mainstream first-tier motherboards do not come with graphics cards and are priced at 800 yuan, while those from small manufacturers are around 600 yuan.

"If the motherboard only has a voodoo1 graphics card, and if the sales volume reaches one million units, then our cost price can be reduced to 360 yuan. Then every time the sales volume increases by one million units, the cost can be reduced by 5 yuan. After reaching 10 million yuan, it will be The limit of current production technology!" Lei Jun said.

"What about the most powerful integrated motherboard?" Qin Feng asked.

"That motherboard is too expensive. If one million units are sold, the cost will be 540 yuan. However, after the sales volume increases, the cost can be reduced by 7 yuan for every million units. After exceeding 10 million units, it is also the limit of the current manufacturing process." Lei Jun said.

"That's okay!" Qin Feng nodded, "Even if the market price is the same as that of first-tier motherboards, we still have an absolute market advantage."

"Yes, even if the prices are similar, we still have an advantage, which they cannot match!" Lei Jun was full of confidence.

You know, the other party's motherboard does not come with a graphics card.

And if you buy your own motherboard with a graphics card, which is priced at the same price, you can save a lot of money.

If you calculate it this way, you have an advantage no matter what. There is absolutely no need to worry about marketability.

"Okay, when can we start mass production?" Qin Feng asked.

"Our factory has been debugged and is in trial production. It is expected to start full production within a week." Lei Jun said.

Before this, Qin Feng had acquired a motherboard manufacturer and had moved to Shanghai. After continuous debugging during this period, it has been fully integrated. From this point of view, Lei Jun also has the ability to independently produce motherboards, the core component of computer hardware.

Beyond that, there's the graphics card.

In this regard, Qin Feng also needs it.

Because, in Qin Feng's vision, in the future, whether ATI or voodoo, it is best to become a pure display chip manufacturer. Qin Feng doesn't care whether the two major manufacturers merge in the end.

They just need to be able to become independent chip designers.

On its own side, it is to become one of the chip manufacturing participants and a major producer.

This is Qin Feng’s positioning for Jiuzhou IT Technology Co., Ltd.

This kind of positioning can allow more such high-tech industries to settle in China.

The advantage of this is that it allows China to have more say in future IT manufacturing. At the same time, it can also provide more high-paying jobs for Chinese people and complete production transformation ahead of schedule.

At present, including the next ten or even twenty years, China has always been dominated by labor-intensive enterprises. Nowadays, this is because it is labor-intensive, and because of cheap labor, companies can seize more markets in the market.

For now, that's a bonus. But as time went on, this was no longer the case.

At a certain level, when wages reach a certain level and cannot be increased anymore, labor-intensive enterprises will become a burden on society. Because profits in traditional industries are limited.

5% is amazing.

Most traditional industries rely on quantity to win.

On the contrary, in the IT field, it is different. Profits are usually high. Regardless of the fact that Qin Feng's CPU doesn't make money, it's because it's competing with Intel and wants to compete with Intel in the market.

Otherwise, it will still be very profitable.

Therefore, in the future, your own enterprise will become a high-tech technology. Naturally, the more such companies China has, the better.

Of course, Qin Feng can also entrust Foxconn to produce. But Foxconn is a black-hearted factory, known as a sweatshop. They are all Chinese, so Qin Feng is naturally willing to provide some high-paying positions for those ambitious and hard-working Chinese people.

This is your responsibility as an entrepreneur.

Spider-Man's famous saying: With great power comes great responsibility.

"I plan to invest 100 million in advertising!" Lei Jun said.

This time, he was ready to go all out to play a big game. Directly seize the global market. Let the world know the power of China.

He wants to ship globally at the same time. Let the global market use Huaxia motherboards.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend 100 million to advertise in New York, London, Paris, Milan and other countries to let the world know that a cross-century motherboard has appeared!
