269 Communication between bigwigs, simple and boring (5/5)
Worry can easily turn into anger.
After all, the brain-computer general-purpose chip affects the status of the current PC CPU, which is a long-term worry.
In the short term, it is impossible for brain-computer general-purpose chips to subvert the current pattern from the technical field.
The entire ecology of brain-computer interaction has not yet begun to be built, and even the finished product has not yet been put on the market......
According to the information obtained by Intel, the first batch of brain-computer chips are mainly carried on mobile devices, which is the field of Qualcomm.
So the question is, why are you so arrogant?
So anger is an inevitable emotion.
Especially this teenager who doesn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky actually claimed that Intel was afraid on the show?
I'm afraid of your sister!
This kind of unhealthy thinking must be suppressed.
Who gave you the courage to dare to value a broken company to the market value of the first company in the universe without experiencing the beating from the world's top 500 companies?
If everyone thinks like the little guy, does Intel want to have an international face?
In the future, at the shareholders' meeting, how to explain to shareholders that Intel is still the hegemon of the world's chip industry?
Yes, when seeing this video, Stephen, the current president of Intel, slapped the table directly.
Of course, it was taken when no one was in the office, and the immediate result was that my hands hurt......
Then Stephen quickly calmed down.
Moments later, the Intel family member dialed Brad Smith, the president of another company.
This is a high-tech company whose status in the United States is definitely not lower than that of Intel.
Even in terms of household name, it is even higher than Intel.
That's right, that's Microsoft.
A company founded by Bill Gates, a generation of technology geniuses who have been canonized as gods.
A company that once touched the U.S. antitrust investigation because it was too powerful, and then was ordered to split it into two.
But probably because the founder of Microsoft's foundation is too good, even if it is split into two, even if the CEO after a series of operations, perfectly avoided the rise of the mobile Internet, and gave the mobile Internet system to Apple's IOS and Google's Android, even after the change of CEO, under the painful experience, the win10 system was launched, and the ambition was opened through this advanced system to open up all electronic devices from mobile phones to tablets to computers, forming an ecological closed loop in a closed loop but failed miserably... ...
But Microsoft remains one of the most powerful high-tech companies in the world.
Because the foundation is strong, it doesn't hurt to operate Microsoft.
This may be the original reason for Bill Gates's name for this company.
The story of the love and death between Intel and Microsoft can be written for about a year.
But it is undeniable that one of these two companies is a global hardware giant, and the other is a global software giant, and if they merge directly, the likely result will be to trigger another antitrust investigation.
Of course, mergers are impossible, but cooperation is not a lot.
Especially in the face of external threats.
"Hey, Stephen, that's not your style, how did you think of calling me at this time?"
Brad asked easily.
It sounds like the Microsoft helmsman and chief legal officer is in a good mood.
"Brad, have you paid attention to the news that Huaxia has developed a brain-computer chip?" said Stephen.
"Oh? You mean the young man's company? yes, I know. You know? My friend at Google told me, and he asked me to pay attention to this generational invention. You know, Google has been working on things like AI learning, neural networks, and they're more focused on those. I'm not very tech-savvy, but it sounds cool!, doesn't it?" Brad began.
"yes, it's cool, but it's hard to deal with, you know? It's very hard! Haven't you thought that if the brain-computer chip proves to be good and popular in the PC market, it's not good news for Microsoft?" said Stephen.
Brad's voice was quick to hear: "Oh, why isn't it good news? Maybe it will make our system smarter!Of course, you know Stephen, I don't know much about technology, and if you want to explain the technical side of things, you should call Satya, that Indian boy is a genius." But I don't understand that, so let's get this straight, Stephen, did you want to buy this technology and it was rejected? So that makes you angry, right?"
Stephen was obviously depressed, and said seriously: "I didn't call to argue with you. This is indeed a problem, and you may not know that he has been in a lawsuit with Apple. I'll send you a video where it's clear that he's hostile to a company like ours. ”
But the crux of the matter is not the impact of brain-computer chips on Windows, but the impact on Microsoft's entire ecosystem. Can you imagine that in the future, Microsoft's system and software will need to be designed with another system? I'm not alarmist, we know better than anyone how important it is for hardware and software to work together. ”
"But if you think about it, when win10 needs to cooperate with another general-purpose chip in the future, and the leaders of the enterprises that provide this general-purpose chip even have malicious intentions towards Microsoft, do you know what will happen? There will be no tacit cooperation between software and hardware, and there will be no adaptation between software and hardware, which will affect the effect of system operation, and then Unix developers will be very happy, because they can flexibly develop a Windows desktop system that is more suitable for brain-computer chips. ”
"I'm not being alarmist, maybe you should talk to Mr. Nadella, maybe your genius CEO will know better than I did. ”
Brad didn't give him a chance to interrupt at all, Stephen said in one breath.
"Okay, okay, don't be so alarmist, don't talk about the relationship between the company, at least we've always been good friends. Tell me, my friend, do you have any plans?"
"I need a commitment from you. When necessary, we must not sit idly by, but should do our best to limit its development. Whether it's from the hardware level or the software level, I need your support at that time. Stephen said seriously.
"Phew, okay, I know, but this is a technical issue, and I can't promise you directly. But I'll talk to Satya, and I'll give you a reply after that, okay?"
"Then I'll wait for your good news!"
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
......
After hanging up the phone, Stephen's depressed mood was much better.
Although Intel and Microsoft are not allies in the traditional sense of the word.
But after all, the two sides have the same interests.
Microsoft, AMD and Microsoft, if the three companies can find a point of convergence and put pressure at the same time, Stephen has this confidence, let alone a small company, even a small country can't withstand it!
It would be even better if Apple could be added, and it would be lore......
