Chapter 1,424 Rebus First Appears

Use your brain more and use your hands less.

This is the foundation of the 21st century.

Before this, it can be said that hard work can make you rich.

But in the 21st century, hard work can no longer make you rich.

Be diligent and use your brain more to get rich.

Qin Feng returned to the capital.

At this time, after Lei Jun has been recuperated, he has officially joined forces with global advertisers to start an advertising campaign for a new integrated motherboard.

This motherboard is named: Kyushu: Thunder!

Jiuzhou represents the brand of the motherboard, and Thunder represents the model.

Thunder, inherited two Voodoo1 display chips and an ATI display chip. And, it comes with an intelligent management system. When the system is processing 2D images, it will interrupt the work of the two Voodoo1 graphics cards, so as to save energy as much as possible.

When processing 3D image information, one or two graphics cards will be used depending on the need. Even when necessary, three graphics cards will be enabled to work together to complete the task.

Its performance is already close to the current mainstream voodoo2 graphics card. Of course, the overall performance is still slightly inferior, and the power consumption will be greater.

This is also to avoid market impact on voodoo2's graphics card.

In addition, there is an entry-level motherboard that integrates an ATI graphics card and a voodoo graphics card.

This motherboard is named: Jiuzhou: Yulu.

This name is very poetic, and it actually comes from: Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from heaven.

As for the meaning of this sentence, as well as the previous sentence, it is: Every encounter with a demon or a Buddha is for salvation, and thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from heaven.

The meaning is obvious. Lei Jun hopes that with these two motherboards, he can reverse the decline of China Loongson and sweep Intel and AMD out of the game.

Of course, this is very difficult. However, it is also a hope.

As for pricing, Yulu is priced at 599 yuan, while Thunder is priced at 899 yuan.

The price of both motherboards is not high. In particular, the price of Thunder motherboards is about the same as that of ordinary motherboards today.

As soon as this advertisement came out, everyone was shocked.

It directly shocked the world.

"What! They launched an integrated motherboard!" Intel was the most surprised.

They didn't expect that Qin Feng would actually integrate the graphics card into the motherboard. This was something they never expected.

Originally, they heard that Qin Feng intended to integrate the display chip into the CPU. Intel has not yet achieved this, which is very difficult. Therefore, they do not think Qin Feng can surpass Intel.

Who would have expected that Qin Feng would take a different approach and actually integrate it into the motherboard.

Not only that, but it has also been made into a motherboard that can cross fire. This is so shocking.

In particular, in the advertisement, it is promoted that its performance is second only to the current mainstream graphics cards that cost more than 1,000 yuan and close to 2,000 yuan. And when used with Loongson, the overall performance improvement is even better.

For Intel, this was originally none of their business. After all, they develop CPUs, and it is the motherboard and graphics card manufacturers that should be anxious. It has nothing to do with them.

However, the problem is that if you let it go, the final result may be very bad.

Because if this can really achieve a win-win situation with Loongson, it would be very uncomfortable.

But what to do now?

After discussions, Intel immediately made the decision to cooperate with Nvidia.

NVIDIA is currently another display chip manufacturer and has a deep cooperation with Microsoft. In this regard, Intel can cooperate with it to jointly fight against Qin Feng's tripartite alliance.

"This Chinese person is not simple. I think we must take it seriously!" Intel looked serious.

Nvidia also nodded.

Qin Feng actually united with ATI and voodoo, which put a lot of pressure on Nvidia. Both companies are strong competitors to Nvidia. At present, Nvidia is also planning their big plan, but it will take time.

Who would have expected that Qin Feng would create such an alliance.

It is not yet known what kind of alliance they are, but this form is very unfavorable.

Because it made him feel very dangerous.

Therefore, they chose to cooperate with Intel and formed an alliance to fight against Qin Feng's CPU plus motherboard and graphics card alliance.

They are very confident in their alliance. Because there is Microsoft behind them.

Once upon a time, Microsoft was just a small player, but now, it has become a big tree behind them.

It has to be said that things are changing.

Of course, their research will still take time. This does not mean that you can do it if you want to.

But at this moment, it is a shocking joy for all computer users.

Nowadays, computers are still very expensive items and high-tech products. Many people still don’t have it at home.

This is especially true for developing countries.

Of course, with China's economic development, many families have gradually purchased computers.

However, most of them are entry-level computers with very poor performance. There is no support for 3D games at all. At this time, Qin Feng has launched two motherboards with integrated graphics, which is undoubtedly very tempting and the best news.

In this way, they can save money on a graphics card, and the performance is not bad.

This directly saves them money. And, you save a lot of money.

In this case, it is naturally a big surprise.

"Haha, I want to change the motherboard!" someone said happily.

"I want to change too. In this way, I can play "QQ Farm" more smoothly!" Someone shouted excitedly.

"I want to play "Tomb Raider" and change the motherboard!" Some hardcore stand-alone gamers slapped the table and shouted.

Before this, I couldn’t play.

There is no way, the graphics card does not support it. Now, just change the motherboard. How is this not cost-effective. And this is not expensive, much cheaper than a graphics card.

The Thunder, which is comparable to voodoo2, is only 899 yuan. This is too cheap.

At this moment, in the face of cheers, Lei Jun once again came up with a subsidy plan-if players upgrade and use an old motherboard, a subsidy of 50-200 yuan will be given depending on the motherboard model.

What does it mean, that is, if you directly replace the old motherboard, then you can buy a new motherboard and upgrade it, which will be 50-200 yuan cheaper. This is equivalent to recycling.

Although the price is not very generous, it at least solves the problem of everyone's old motherboard.

This is directly recycled, saving you the trouble of trying to sell old motherboards.

It can be said that this policy has suddenly increased the number of players who want to replace their motherboards.

After all, recycling old motherboards can lower prices again. For players who want to change their motherboards, the financial pressure is less and their desire to change is stronger.

The whole people is waiting!
