Chapter 393 stirs up the storm
"Let's go, Steve, find a place to talk, now that you've seen the latest CPU, let your men do the rest. ”
Jobs nodded, although he still wanted to know more, there was no doubt that some communication with William White was more important.
Apple is the same as Legend, don't look at it very well, but insiders know that these two are standard non-mainstream. In terms of CPU architecture, everyone plays x86, which is considered IBMPC, but powerPC, which is also from IBM, is in an extremely embarrassing situation.
William White didn't believe that IBM would be so stupid, throwing out good things to cheapen others, but leaving a pit in his own hands.
"William, it seems that this business is at a loss, the potential of powerPC is so great, how can it be cheaper for you. ”
Seeing that this guy didn't smoke a cigar, William White didn't smoke either. I don't have much respect, at least I don't use a posture of looking down.
"Don't be stupid, Steve, this thing is in the hands of IBM, and it's guaranteed to be ruined. It's true that I'm also in the whole industry chain, but if you look at it, it's just a specific user group.
And what about IBM?"
Although I don't want to admit it, the facts are in front of me, and Jobs can't say anything. The reason for the rapid development of X86 is closely related to its open nature. If, if the price of this guy is a little more favorable, the ARM that gave Intel a headache will not appear later.
"Let's put it this way, Steve, my forte is graphics. So, in this segment, it has to be exclusive. ”
"You think too much, not to mention anything else, the processor and the graphics processor are in your hands, who will put all the chips in your hands. ”
"Soon it won't be anymore, White Systems is no longer making regular GPUs, and we're going to strip away all production except for professional graphics cards.
As for the CPU, this way is not excluded in the future. Hmph, I don't believe it yet. ”
Mr. Jobs was taken aback, even though it sounded rudimentary. However, this Nima is the real big killer.
No developer wants to develop powerPC applications, on the one hand, the development tools are too expensive, on the other hand, the user group is too small, and it takes the same effort, X86 is much better.
But now, if the Wright system is just the identity of a patent company, the situation is completely different.
"Are you kidding? I just saw that the factory in the Lion City is still expanding. ”
"Well, didn't I tell you that these are two companies. As long as the price is reasonable, what about me helping Gordon Moore produce CPUs?
Uh, well, the woman who probably asked me. Steve, this company, it's not like I'm using a woman's name to remotely command. In fact, I don't have any legal authority. ”
William White's statement, Jobs was not surprised. In fact, his method has long been said by some people. People are stupid and have a lot of money, if one is not good, this is the end of both people and money.
Well, these people are obviously a little superficial. William White didn't care about the wealth at all, or rather, it was originally something he took out to compensate others.
Regarding William White's explanation, Jobs expressed understanding. Although it will not be immediately decided, there is no doubt that if this CPU can be developed in the form of patent licensing, it will indeed have a chance to pinch Intel. As for the graphics processor, if William White hadn't been, his opponents would have been miserable.
The tactics are not very clever, but they are insidious enough. In this way, the number of super-large enterprises willing to cooperate with him will definitely increase to a great extent.
Everyone wants to engage in the whole industry chain, but it is too difficult to operate. Texas Instruments has its own CPUs and architectures, as do Motorola and IBM. It should be said that it may not be much worse than what X86 is, and it is basically at a considerable level.
But without exception, these guys all failed in the end. In the final analysis, these are the same as Wang An's computers back then, and he likes to hold everything in his hands. It looks good, and there won't be any constraints, but don't you have no help?
Looking around, there are enemies all over the world. If this can still not hit the streets, it is simply unreasonable.
The iron triangle of Intel, Microsoft, and IBM, due to the uneven distribution of spoils, has become an inevitability.
It just so happened that William White seized this fleeting opportunity and planned to cut a slice of this big cake. The irony of all is that these things were not in William White's plans. As a traverser, of course, he doesn't want this world to change much, so he can't use a lot of things that are clearly prophetic.
It's a pity that he underestimated the greed of some people. And this world has long become unrecognizable. Now that this is the case, he no longer has any scruples.
If you don't make some responses, you will really be embarrassed by the seniors.
As for the threat?
This one doesn't exist, look at Jobs and Bill Gates, none of them look like the Great Magister.
"Steve, after this gaming PC goes on sale, the next thing that comes down is the graphics workstation, if you have any ideas.
I think it's going to have to be faster. ”
"Tsk" Jobs began to have a headache, and it is clear that their current focus is not on this at all. Moreover, they actually have a tacit understanding with Microsoft.
Tearing up the verbal agreement was not a burden on Jobs' mind at all. However, he is also powerless at the moment.
"I said, do you need to do a surprise attack?
At the very least, there should be a CPU press conference, I don't believe it, you are mass-produced so quickly. ”
"I'm sorry, but the computer you just saw was made by Treasure Island. As for that CPU, it was already in mass production a week ago, and we were a little slack off last year's Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Now, I have strengthened my logistics system.
Man, you don't really think that I'm making such a big show just to sell some coke and mineral water, do you?"
Jobs was stunned, well, he understands everything now, Amazon sells books, but selling books is not the point, this kind of shopping experience with a low starting point is just to attract users.
In the same way, someone who moved the supermarket to the Internet actually had the same idea. Only by accumulating a sufficient number of users can you explode potential when needed.
Jobs finally couldn't sit still, and one thing that can be predicted is that the emergence of this legendary computer is bound to disrupt the current PC landscape.
Game?
He has long abandoned his previous contempt, and the game console is true, but the person with the highest requirements for the computer is not those game enthusiasts.
But, you don't play console games, but you come to the PC market to make a shock, which is really annoying.
