Chapter 1,432 Are You OK?

"How are you sure the future will develop like this?" Lei Jun's question made Qin Feng a little confused as to how to answer.

Yes, how can you be sure that the development of graphics cards will be so strong in the future?

You know, currently in the IT world, dissatisfaction with CPUs is continuing and rising.

Everyone's only thought is to improve CPU performance.

Lift, Lift, Lift.

This is what everyone thinks.

Secondly, it is the capacity of the hard drive.

Nowadays, hard disks are too small. For everyone, they hope that the hard disk space will be larger and larger.

After all, the current mainstream is only 43g (which is already one year ahead of the original history), and this capacity is too small.

Even though Qin Feng has provided 43g of cloud space. And relying on ultra-high Internet speed and compression technology, players can virtually double the size of their hard drive, which can be said to have reached an astonishing 86g of space.

But in fact, it is still too small, too small.

This looks like a lot of space, so you can just download some movies, videos, various games, etc., and it will be gone.

Therefore, everyone’s desire for hard drives is very strong.

Secondly, there is memory. The memory is too small now.

It generally runs with only 16 RAM. This one, everyone hopes to be bigger.

Memory is also the target of development by manufacturers.

Besides these three things, is it the graphics card?

Not really. For players, after these three things, what they hope to improve is the display.

Yes, it's the monitor.

Because the monitor is too small and the display effect is too poor. Everyone hopes it will be bigger.

The 14-inch CRT monitor is still popular now, and everyone wants it to be larger.

For example, 15 inches, even 17 inches, etc.

After this, comes the graphics card.

It can be said that the current ranking of graphics cards in the minds of computer users is very low.

But Qin Feng ranked him first.

This made Lei Jun confused.

How are you so sure that the market for graphics cards will be so big?

Qin Feng scratched his head, looked at Lei Jun's expression of curiosity, and shrugged helplessly.

"Because I want to, it will!" Qin Feng said ruthlessly.

Lei Jun simply rolled his eyes.

Aren't you being a rogue? Is there anyone as rogue as you? Qin Feng chuckled. “Mr. Lei, that’s not the case anymore. You know, our CPU is our weak point.

Among the three major consumer CPU brands in the world, our CPU is the weakest. Even if you get ATI's CPU architecture technology, it is still the weakest. "Qin Feng said.

Lei Jun nodded.

In this regard, it is indeed the case.

Although it has obtained ATI's CPU technology, it has its own amazing features, that is, it can easily increase the frequency, allowing the frequency to easily break through the 500hz limit.

However, its architecture itself is not comparable to Intel.

If it is comparable, ATI will continue to make CPUs instead of shelving them.

Now, Loongson integrates ATI's chip technology with the previous Cyrix chip technology, but at best, it is just close to AD.

There is a huge gap between AD and Intel. Not to mention Godson.

"So, graphics cards are our breakthrough!" Qin Feng said, "CPU chips will definitely have excess performance in the future! Because the performance bottleneck of computers in the future will not be the CPU, but the hard disk. And during this period, the only way to improve The computer user experience is the graphics card.”

After hearing this, Lei Jun thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"So, by then, the CPU will be a little bit worse. But in some professional fields, there will be a big gap, not as good as Intel. But, in terms of games, we can make up for it! And, for the vast majority of players, Generally speaking, buying a computer can’t just be about chatting online, watching videos, and playing games. Basically, it’s just these three things. Then occasionally some people will do PS and edit some videos. For these users, CPU is really The demand is very strong. But we don’t need this group of customers!” Qin Feng said.

Lei Jun was stunned.

Qin Feng's rhetoric is a bit incredible.

All these manufacturers hope to capture every customer as much as possible. However, Qin Feng said that he wanted to give up.

"Yes, we have to give up. We are not strong enough and cannot catch them all at once. So, what we have to do is to give up a small number of customers and win over most customers. This is called precise market positioning!" Qin Feng said.

The term market positioning has been around for a long time. However, I have never heard of the term precise market positioning.

"Precise market positioning!" Lei Jun nodded.

"Yes, it is accurate market positioning! Our technical strength is limited, so we must make choices!" Qin Feng said, "Give up a few high-demand customers and pursue the majority of customers. This is what we have to do. And the majority of customers The needs are chatting, video, and games! These three things have little to do with the CPU. Of course, I am not saying that it is not important, I just mean that the relationship is not that important. What is really important are the three things, graphics card, memory, and hard disk. Among them The hard drive is an auxiliary product.”

Qin Feng took a short rest.

"As for memory, this is easy to solve. I also believe that many manufacturers can solve it. Among them, the really important thing is the graphics card. Only the graphics card is the most important and can really change the world." Qin Feng said, "Not only can it change the world, but it can also save us."

"Then what should we do?" Lei Jun decided to trust Qin Feng first.

After all, regardless of whether Qin Feng is right or not, developing graphics cards is also their top priority.

Because only a breakthrough in graphics cards can break Intel's monopoly on CPU technology.

"This is what I just told you. First of all, we must ensure that our cross-fire focusing technology is always at the leading edge." Qin Feng said, "We must always maintain the cross-fire focusing of the later generation." Qin Feng said.

The so-called later generation means one generation earlier than the current mainstream graphics card.

For example, voodoo2 is now popular, but voodoo3 is not yet on the market. Then the cross-fire is the voodoo1 generation. If voodoo3 becomes popular, then the display chip that crosses the fire should be voodoo2.

Only in this way can we always maintain the advantage of cross-fire. Otherwise, if the gap is too big, then such a collection of motherboards will be useless.

In the future, many people would rather not use integrated graphics motherboards. The reason is that the performance of your integrated graphics motherboards is too poor. I can’t even play the game, so why would I want it? And it’s a bit more expensive than a motherboard without integrated graphics. I am not spending money to buy my sins. Therefore, I would rather not have an integrated graphics motherboard and buy a separate graphics card. "But I'm afraid this requires the consent of ATI and voodoo company." Lei Jun said, "Only you can talk about this. I'm not that fluent in English!" "English?" Qin Feng burst into laughter. Are you OK?
