Chapter 1021 - Brand New Motherboard
Technology is made out of money.
Without money, you're nothing.
This world is so cruel and so direct.
Money is the basis on which everything is decided.
Subsequently, Qin Feng received good news.
"Qin Feng, our integrated motherboard has finally been developed!" Lei Jun called excitedly.
During this time, he didn't pay much attention to Qin Feng's affairs.
It's not that he doesn't care, but the company's research and development has reached a critical moment.
He was completely incapacitated. During this time, he stayed in the company's laboratory completely, slept for a while when he was sleepy, and continued to work when he woke up.
It wasn't until today that he was done. Of course, the results are wonderful.
"The integration was successful?" Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, the integration has been successful! At present, we will launch two motherboards!" Lei Jun said.
Qin Feng looked excited.
"The first one is an entry-level 3D motherboard that only carries the voodoo1 graphics chip. Lei Jun said, "Basically, you can play entry-level 3D games." At present, mainstream 3D games can only open the lowest image quality. ”
"That's enough!" Qin Feng was surprised.
This result has exceeded Qin Feng's expectations.
Originally, Qin Feng thought that they could develop an integrated motherboard that could support graphics cards as long as they could. Even if it's just 2D.
As a result, you can now get straight to the entry-level integrated motherboard with the performance of the voodoo1.
It's too powerful.
That's basically killing all the entry-level graphics cards in the industry.
Qin Feng can assert that once this motherboard is launched, the graphics card market will die.
"The second one is to achieve what you said about hybrid fire. "We combined the 2D performance of ATI graphics cards with the 3D performance of voodoo graphics cards to achieve hybrid firefights." On the motherboard, we installed a total of three chips. ”
Three pieces? Qin Feng was surprised.
"Yes, two voodoo1 chips, and one ATI chip!" Lei Jun said, "This kind of performance can basically reach the performance of a single voodoo2." Of course, the power consumption will be a little larger, and at the same time, the heat dissipation requirements will be a little higher!"
Qin Feng was so shocked that he couldn't do it.
Such a technology, they actually came up with it.
You know, even if this is a later generation, it seems that it was only after 2010 that it had the function of hybrid firefighting.
Qin Feng only put forward the idea of relevant aspects, and as for how to achieve it, Qin Feng didn't know. It's too hard after all.
Unexpectedly, they actually researched it.
This is really amazing.
It can be said that this is a breakthrough that completely breaks Qin Feng's cognition.
"The research and development of the three companies should have a breakthrough!" Lei Jun smiled with relief.
"And what about the cost?" Qin Feng asked.
At present, on the market, the mainstream first-line motherboards are all without graphics cards, and the price is 800 yuan, and the price of small factories is about 600 yuan.
"If there is only a motherboard with a voodoo1 graphics card, if the sales volume reaches one million, then our cost price can be pressed to 360 yuan. Then, for every million units of sales increased, the cost could be reduced by 5 yuan. After reaching 10 million pieces, it is the limit of the current production technology!" Lei Jun said.
"What about the strongest integrated motherboard?" Qin Feng asked.
"That motherboard is on the expensive side. If the sales volume of one million pieces is a million, the cost is 540 yuan. However, after the sales increase, the cost can be reduced by 7 yuan for every million yuan increased. After exceeding 10 million pieces, it is also the limit of the current manufacturing process. Lei Jun said.
"That's okay!" Qin Feng nodded, "Even if the price in the market is the same as that of the first-line motherboard, we still have an absolute market advantage." ”
"Yes, even if the price is comparable, we have an advantage, which is also incomparable to them!" Lei Jun was full of confidence.
You know, the other party's motherboard doesn't have a graphics card.
And your own motherboard with a graphics card, the price is comparable, that can also save a lot of money.
In this way, it is all advantageous. Definitely not worry about the market.
"Okay, when will mass production take place?" Qin Feng asked.
"Our factory has been commissioned and is in trial production. It is expected that full production will be ready within a week. Lei Jun said.
Before this, Qin Feng had acquired the motherboard manufacturer and had relocated to the magic capital. After this period of continuous commissioning, it has been fully integrated. At this point, it also gives Lei Jun the ability to independently produce motherboards, the core components of computer hardware.
In addition to that, there are graphics cards.
In this regard, it is also what Qin Feng needs.
Because, in Qin Feng's vision, in the future, whether it is ATI or voodoo, it is best to become a simple display chip manufacturer. The two major manufacturers, whether they merge in the end or not, this Qin Feng doesn't care.
They just need to be able to become a separate chip designer.
On his side, he has become one of the participants in chip manufacturing and the main producer.
This is Qin Feng's positioning for Kyushu IT Technology Co., Ltd.
Such positioning can allow more such high-tech industries to settle in China.
The advantage of this is that it can allow Huaxia to have more say in IT manufacturing in the future. At the same time, it can also provide more high-paying occupations for Chinese people and complete the production transformation ahead of schedule.
At present, including the next ten years or even more than 20 years, China has always been a labor-intensive enterprise. This is now because of the labor-intensive, and because of the cheap labor, enterprises can seize more market in the market.
For now, it's a bonus. But over time, this is not the case.
At a certain point, when wages rise to a certain level and cannot be raised, labor-intensive enterprises will become a burden on society. Because, the profits of traditional industries are limited.
5% is staggering.
Most of the traditional industries rely on volume to win.
In the IT field, on the other hand, it is different. Profits are usually high. Don't look at Qin Feng's CPU is not profitable, it is because he is in the ring with Intel and wants to compete with Intel in the market.
Otherwise, it's just as profitable.
Therefore, in the future, their own enterprises will become high-tech technology. The more such enterprises in Huaxia, the better.
Of course, Qin Feng can also entrust Foxconn to produce. But Foxconn is a black-hearted factory, known as a sweatshop. They are all Chinese, and Qin Feng is naturally willing to provide some high-paying positions for those ambitious and hard-working Chinese.
It's a responsibility as an entrepreneur.
Spider-Man's famous saying: With great power comes great responsibility.
"I plan to invest 100 million yuan in advertising!" Mr. Lei said.
This time, he is ready to go out and play with a big ticket. Directly seize the global market. Let the world know the power of Huaxia.
At the same time, he wants to ship all over the world. Let the global market use the Huaxia motherboard.
Therefore, he will take out 100 million yuan to advertise at any cost, and he will advertise in New York, London, Paris, Milan and other countries, so that the world will know that a cross-century motherboard has appeared!
