Chapter 1436: Forced Into a Corner

"With his Godson and motherboard, will there really be a performance bonus?" Intel held an emergency board of directors.

Originally, originally, they did not think that Lin Feng's Loongson or this motherboard could pose a threat to them. But later, seeing that the sales of its Jiuzhou Yulu and Jiuzhou Thunder motherboards were so good, a Tel-Nvi alliance was established.

Use this to combat this potential threatening opponent.

But I didn't expect that before they had any integrated motherboards or integrated chips, Qin Feng's CPU and motherboard sales were already very scary.

This sales volume was something they never expected.

Now, the entire market motherboard has been completely occupied by Jiuzhou Yulu and Jiuzhou Thunder.

Of course, this doesn't mean that other motherboards will have no sales, it just means that sales will be greatly affected. At the same price, there is an additional video memory chip that is comparable to mainstream graphics cards. Let consumers choose.

And because they are all developed by the same company, coupled with Lei Jun's propaganda, everyone believes that if you use Loongson and Kyushu motherboards, the performance will be improved. Both of these are very cheap.

This one is cheap, three loves.

Naturally, Godson's sales also increased.

Before this, Intel relied on Pentium 2 and Celeron 2 to suppress Loongson.

The absolute performance advantage of Pentium 2 and the price advantage of Celeron 2 have kept Loongson's sales in the international market very low.

But now, sales have increased.

Many people began to try to buy Loongson and Kyushu motherboards.

"The current results from our laboratory show that if paired with Loongson and Kyushu motherboards, there will be no improvement in CPU performance, but in actual applications, whether it is gaming or watching videos, there will be an improvement." said the technician.

"What does this mean?" asked Intel President Barrett.

"That is, if we replace it with our CPU and use it with a Kyushu motherboard, the scores of the related software in terms of video playback and game performance will be weaker than that of Loongson," the technician said.

Barrett's eyes lit up.

"You mean, their motherboard has limitations on our CPU?" Barrett asked excitedly.

If so, then he can accuse Qin Feng of unfair competition. If this lawsuit breaks out, Loongson will be doomed.

"That's not the case." The technician said, "It's not a restriction on us. It's just that the performance of Jiuzhou's motherboard seems not to be fully utilized. In this way, if we connect our chip, or AD's chip, the performance of the motherboard can probably be It can achieve 90% performance, and if you use Loongson, you can achieve 100% performance, or even 120% performance.”

There is obviously a difference between the two.

If it is to restrict Intel's CPUs, then this is unfair competition.

On the contrary, if it is to achieve better performance,

That's not a limitation. That is the superimposed advantage of technology from the same brand.

Although the results between the two are the same, there are fundamental differences.

Of course, the most important gap comes from the ability to prosecute.

Barrett thought for a while.

"Now Godson has become a serious problem for us. If it is allowed to grow, it may replace ad as our most powerful opponent. And ad, without technology and funds, cannot shake our country at all. But Godson is different. . It has the entire mainland market behind it, and the Chinese government is backing it. It loses billions every year, which is no problem for them." Barrett said solemnly, "They are far more tenacious than AD. And a terrible opponent. So, we must treat it carefully."

Many directors agreed with this.

You know, Loongson comes from the cyrix chip that was once eliminated by the market.

As a result, it has now gone from being a chip that was eliminated by the market to being something that even Intel is afraid of.

Although its performance is still not comparable to Intel. However, its potential is scary.

Such terrifying potential makes every opponent extremely afraid.

Of course, I am also envious.

After all, no matter how much it loses money, it can easily borrow money, and it's a huge amount of money. It can be said that there is a country behind it.

This situation is the envy of any company.

After all, with an absolutely huge amount of financial support, your company will definitely be able to maintain its development and will usher in a difficult breathing period.

This breathing period is the key to determining whether a product can survive in the market.

Many products are not bad. Just because, in the absence of a market, after running out of liquidity, one had to leave the market sadly.

No matter how much ambition you have, no matter how good the plan is, no matter how far-reaching the prospects are, if you have no funds and no market share, you can only become a yesterday's flower.

This world is so cruel and so helpless.

"I propose, first, start an investigation immediately to find out whether there is a special code hidden in the Godson that can activate all the motherboard's performance, or whether it is just because it matches the Godson that the motherboard's performance can be activated." Barrett looked serious. "That's something we have to figure out."

"Secondly, that is to launch Pentium 3 and completely defeat Loongson! Let our technology completely crush them and make them feel desperate." Barrett said.

"What!" Many directors exclaimed.

This Pentium II was launched more than a year early. Originally, Pentium 2 would not be launched until the second half of next year. As a result, Pentium 2 has been launched for a while now. As a result, Pentium 2 has not yet made enough money, and Pentium 3 is about to be launched. With so many Pentium 2s and Celeron 2s in the world, will they still be sold?

Many directors looked worried.

This is a loss.

As far as Intel is concerned, it has always been forced to upgrade its products. Otherwise, they will keep squeezing out toothpaste slowly, and only after making all the money will they launch new products.

And because of Intel's absolute technical barriers, they have this confidence. But now, Pentium 3 is launched several years ahead of schedule. This step is too big. This will also cause their profits to drop a lot, a lot.

"I know, in terms of profit, this move is very stupid. But, what we want is the market!" Barrett said with a serious face, "Without the market, there is no profit. With the market, sooner or later, there will be profits. ." President Barrett looked determined.

At this juncture, there is no time to delay. If he hesitated any longer, Qin Feng would force him into a corner. If Qin Feng is allowed to truly gain a foothold, Intel will be in big trouble. At that time, if you want to suppress Qin Feng's side, the price you have to pay will be too high.
