Barrett had a hard face.

Pentium 3, also has a title, called Tualatin.

The reason why it is called Tualatin is because Intel has invested in the construction of a large-scale production and R&D base between the Tualatin Valley and the Tualatin River in Oregon, USA. It is precisely because of such a base that Intel occupies an absolute technological advantage.

Therefore, this third-generation Pentium series CPU, Intel named it Tualatin, just to commemorate their R&D base, but also a display of self-pride.

Naturally, this generation of CPU is also absolutely different from the previous two generations. The performance is so superior, you can't believe that the next generation of Pentium 2, the Tualadin of Pentium 3 is so strong.

However, many directors are hesitant.

Because it was so powerful, it was launched like this, and the Pentium 2 disappeared from the market in that instant.

That's not the market at all. So what do they do with so many Pentium 2 chips?

This is not like before, the transition from Pentium 1 to Pentium 2, this Pentium 1 can still sell a little, as long as the price is reduced, you can always clear a part of the inventory. The gap between this Pentium 2 and Tualatin is too great.

The gap between the two sides, the gap between the game Yang and the Pentium is even bigger.

As long as this is launched, it will instantly completely collapse the market of Pentium 2. Before this, they also had high hopes for Pentium 2. It's going to sell for another two or three years, and then change to Tu Latin.

A generation of products, as long as there is no opponent, sell for two or three years, that is a very normal situation. Otherwise, how could Intel get the nickname "toothpaste factory".

That's how the nickname came about.

But now, to release Tualatin is too much of a loss.

I'm afraid the loss will be calculated in billions of dollars.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know your concerns, but we must make the decision to break the wrist of a strong man. Otherwise, it is very likely that in the future we will break a lot of wrists, but necks. "We must immediately show absolute strength to completely sweep Loongson out of the market!" Barrett said.

"Barrett, we know what your concerns are. But even so, under his absolute price advantage, I am afraid he will still survive. Don't forget, he can hold on by taking out a huge loan from the Chinese government. Not to mention, he also has two motherboards, Kyushu Yulu and Kyushu Thunder, which bring huge profits. Such a profit is enough for him to hold on. At that time, I am afraid that we will suffer huge economic losses, which will make it difficult for us to support ourselves. Some directors are worried.

These concerns are not unfounded.

Your production plan and scientific research plan have been repeatedly broken, which is very fatal.

This means that the huge amount of money you invested before has not been recovered, and you will promote the next generation. If this continues, the company is equivalent to having a financial black hole.

This black hole will swallow up the company's funds.

Of course, now changing to Latin will bring huge benefits.

After all, when consumers see such a high-performance CPU, they will inevitably choose to buy it. There is no doubt about this.

However, the problem is what if Qin Feng launches a new CPU here. What if the performance is not as good as it, but the price is extremely cheap?

So, you're launching a new generation of CPUs?

If the cycle continues like this, Intel's funds will not be able to sustain itself.

This R&D is the most expensive to do.

For Intel, the billions of dollars in R&D funds every year are not spent in vain. This needs to be able to bring profits, and it can't always be like this, just less than a year after being listed, it will be replaced.

I can't afford to change it.

"I heard that Qin Feng bought their CPU technology from ATI. Although ATI's CPU technology is not as good as ours, they have also improved a lot at the beginning. The two are integrated, Qin Feng relies on the support of the major banks in Huaxia, we are not fighting against a company, but a huge country with a population of 1.3 billion!" Moore said at this moment.

When they heard this, they were silent.

Compared with AMD, the most terrifying point of Loongson lies in this. Behind it is a huge market of 1.3 billion people.

It's too hard for them to compete with it.

The other party can obtain loans almost without limits and use the money to buy the market. And they can't. They are commercial companies.

"Yes, the other side has a huge market. But no matter how huge the market is, it is the consumers themselves who ultimately decide everything. We let consumers vote with their money. Barrett's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, "We use technology to break down their huge funds. What's more, guys, as long as we let their CPU market fail, as for the motherboard market, together with NVIDIA, we can beat them too. Plus there's Microsoft's operating system, and that's enough for us to defeat this cheating opponent!"

Numerous directors frowned.

"Are you going to compromise with Microsoft?" Moore frowned.

Originally, the previous president, Grove, who was recovering from his illness, had the biggest regret in his life that he was too inclined to Microsoft, which led to Intel being constrained by Microsoft. The original win-tle alliance has become more powerful for Microsoft, and Intel has become a follower.

This has always been the biggest regret of Grove's life. Everyone knows that Grove is hell-bent on getting rid of Microsoft's influence. But now, Barrett is going to surrender again.

This...

"It is difficult for our family to completely drive Loongson, which is backed by the Chinese market, out of the market. Qin Feng is not short-sighted like other Chinese people, and he dares to use huge losses to grab the market, which proves that he is very optimistic about the development of the personal computer market. And his purpose of bringing limited cable broadband technology to China is self-evident. "Guys, we can't hesitate, we must break the Loongson as soon as possible." And this needs Microsoft support. As soon as you agree, I will negotiate with Microsoft to sign a new partnership plan. Of course, I can guarantee that this plan, although it will cost us a little bit of status, will never lose our interests. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for us to abandon the so-called dignity, and in business, we want profit, not status. ”

"Guys, let's vote!" Moore decided, "I'm in favor of Tualatin and a new partnership with Microsoft." ”

Moore took the lead in voting, which gave all directors a direction.

Subsequently, many directors raised their hands and decided to proceed from interests.

Everything, just to expel Loongson from the market.

"We must not allow bad money to drive out good money. The president of Barrett said sonorously.

Subsequently, Intel announced the date of Tualatin's market sale. This has directly triggered global fluctuations.
