Chapter 1469 2 Difficult Intel

When Intel finally announced that they had designed a new dual-core low-frequency processor, they found an embarrassing situation, that is, all PC manufacturers had already ordered enough from AMD. --

Originally, Intel thought that if they designed and produced better low-frequency dual-core processors, they would definitely get large orders, thus suppressing AMD in the low-end netbook market.

But they never expected that the market was initially saturated. Although their products have better 'performance', all PC manufacturers seem to have negotiated and never came to order.

Those pc manufacturers are very shrewd. Now everyone is the default alliance, that is, before the netbooks with ultra-power processors are sold almost, they will not sell netbooks with Intel and this processor core, otherwise How to sell netbooks with Chaowei processor as the core? Price cut again?

If the price is cut again, hardware manufacturers such as Chaowei will make money according to the contract. What should they do as a PC manufacturer? Although it will not lose money, but the pre-tax profit margin is less than 3%, it is not worth doing at all.

Their brand added value alone should not be so low!

And how many low-frequency dual-core processors did Chaowei sell? More than 30 million!

I dare not say that this year's market has been filled, but before those PC manufacturers sell more than 80% of their inventory, they will not order Intel processors.

They also have to adjust the market from time to time. If the market is not as big as they expected, whoever hoards too much will be doomed to lose.

Besides, Intel's "performance" of this processor is better than that of Chaowei's, but the price is also higher. Those who buy netbooks, value is cheap.

Manufacturers are desperately trying to reduce costs. If they want to reduce prices, who wants to increase prices?

Besides, 1ghz cpu is enough, why switch to 1.2?

They will not buy or place orders for the time being. After they have digested this batch of Chaowei CPUs, they will have time to order again. Maybe at that time, the price of Intel's 1.2 cpu also dropped.

When Intel was depressed, AMD was all smiles. When almost all pc manufacturers ordered this cpu from them, they ostensibly offered discounts to this dual-core 1ghz cpu in order to sell other models of cpu.

The strength of the discount is not very big, and it has also greatly increased the order quantity of this cpu, and also increased the sales of their other products. Those PC manufacturers saw that in addition to the higher liquidated damages for this order, they did not need to pay more, and it was no problem to place an order early.

Even if the order volume is a bit large, they don’t care. If the order volume is large, the price will be more favorable, and their cost will be reduced. Even if there is a little bit of unsalable sales, they can go back and deal with it through activities, but they can still use these products to attract consumers.

Chaowei is also intentional, it is a normal means of business competition. Give some reasonable preferential conditions to hold customers in their hands. When competitors make better products, only to find that the market is temporarily saturated.

Chaowei's orders have been placed at the end of the year, so how can those PC manufacturers go to Intel and place new orders?

If you have a CPU with good 'sex', it doesn't matter a little more, but this kind of CPU is only suitable for such low-cost netbooks, and other products can't be used.

This trick of Chaowei put Intel in the embarrassing situation that this product was designed, but could not be sold.

However, AMD still underestimated Intel's determination. Intel soon announced that their new low-frequency dual-core cpu had been reduced in price. When no order was sold, the price was reduced!

Even if the price is low, the profit is low, and even if it is not profitable, Intel also recognizes it. They can't watch AMD get bigger, they have to make sure they're still the leader in processors.

As long as the market share is guaranteed,

Then Intel will continue to be loved by consumers, even if it is because of habit.

In this way, they can reduce AMD's market share, reduce each other's sales and profits, and thus reduce the development speed of each other's products.

When Feng Yu felt that this matter was a little difficult to handle, Chaowei said there was no need to worry at all, and they sued Intel again, citing dumping and unfair competition.

They say that new products sold by Intel, including R&D costs and production costs, will lose money if they are sold at the current price. This is an obvious dumping behavior!

Chaowei and Intel are too familiar with each other, and they can probably calculate the cost of both sides. Of course, Intel didn't sell it at a discount. Chaowei was just looking for some trouble for Intel.

Just like Chaowei's Athlon dual-core at this time sells much better than Intel, and Intel is not also looking for an excuse to sue Chaowei.

Now Chaowei gives consumers and PC manufacturers the impression that it is superior to Intel in dual-core processors. And Intel does not object, dual-core or even multi-core is the development direction of future cpu.

Therefore, many software at this time have optimized the dual-core. And at this point, Chaowei took advantage.

Chaowei also stepped up publicity on this point, constantly talking about its own advantages. Now that Intel wants to surpass Chaowei in this regard, Chaowei certainly cannot agree.

Feng Yu is not very good at these competition methods, there are too many 'doors' in it. Chaowei also said that doing so will only slow down Intel's product sales, but in the end they still have to make better CPUs in order to truly win.

They are now designing a low-voltage CPU with a more advanced product architecture. After this product is made, Intel will undoubtedly lose in the CPU of netbooks.

Netbooks have high requirements for low power consumption, which Chaowei intends to do best. And also on the product size, it should be reduced again. Lianxiang Group required the new netbooks to be thinner and lighter, so they naturally had to design products according to customers' requirements.

In Feng Yu's opinion, the current netbooks are still not doing well enough. The 'sex' can be said. The netbooks before Feng Yu's rebirth are much better than the current ones, and they are lighter and thinner, especially in terms of price. It can be done below 1,000 yuan rmb, so the production cost is about 100 US dollars.

And now, the cost is still more than three hundred US dollars, so Feng Yu said that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

There are requirements for hardware accessories suppliers, software suppliers and manufacturers. Only by working together can they control the cost to such a low level.

However, some people say that the netbook that was less than a thousand yuan in the previous life was a tablet with a keyboard, and it was not a real notebook at all.

However, Feng Yu himself pays more attention to the research and development of tablets, which is one of the hottest models sold in the future.
