Chapter 905 - The First Year of GPU (Three More Requests for Subscription)

"Mr. Qin, we have agreed in principle to cooperate with you. On shares, we give up to 10%. Gray said.

Qin Feng smiled.

"I think, let's meet and talk!" Qin Feng said.

Subsequently, the four of them met at the same café where they met yesterday.

"Shares, 10% is definitely not good. It's too little, and my technology, and the profits I bring, are far more than that!" Qin Feng said.

"And how much do you want?" asked Gray.

If Qin Feng asked for too much, they would definitely not agree.

"The three of you own about 40 percent of the company. In this way, I only need 15%, but I must have the right to vote. Qin Feng said.

Now 3DFX is listed on the stock market, with 45% of the world's outstanding shares, 40% of the shares held by the three founders, and 15% in the hands of other shareholders of the company.

Qin Feng wants this 15%. Of course, this does not mean that the shares of other shareholders will be given to Qin Feng. Rather, the company adopts additional issuance or each person equalizes a little share according to the shares.

Of course, Qin Feng also has to pay.

It's not about getting shares for free, it's about giving money according to market value.

According to the current stock price, Qin Feng needs to come up with $45 million to get this 15% stake.

It's going to take two years, and at this price, almost the entire company will be acquired.

The three nodded. This price is almost within their acceptable range.

"However, if you can't get Sega to continue to purchase our orders, and your technology doesn't satisfy us, or bring us significant changes, then this deal is voided!" Gray said.

"Of course!" Qin Feng nodded.

The two sides then happily signed the contract with the termination of the treaty.

"Later, I will die and negotiate with him. And now, first of all, I want you to give up on STB board manufacturers. Qin Feng said.

"Give up?" the three frowned, but nodded quickly.

They are also anxious about this cooperation. Because it didn't achieve the results they wanted, it annoyed many board manufacturers to stop making their graphics cards.

In this way, they are the only ones in the world who produce themselves. And the STB factory they acquired was simply not up to the task. And the yield rate is not enough. As a result, their current market share is insufficient.

Therefore, they also have the heart to give up. It's just that this kind of abandonment can't make up my mind for a while.

"I have a company called Kyushu IT Technology Co., Ltd., which will be responsible for the acquisition of STB, and after that, it will be used to mainly produce Voodoo graphics cards. With my human resources in Huaxia, I believe that we can reduce the price of your company's graphics cards. Qin Feng said.

At this point, it is also good for Lei Jun.

After all, Qin Feng's ambitions are great, and he is not in the computer market.

The real market is the mobile phone market of the future. Because in the future, smartphones will kill almost any opponent.

Computers, cameras, tape recorders, mp3s, etc., almost everything is taken out by smartphones. And smartphones also need display chips.

Therefore, there are always benefits to acquiring in advance.

Of course, Qin Feng also needs to make the company's deficit a little bigger.

So that no one dares to fight this idea.

"Okay!" the three Roses nodded.

In this way, they will return to the tradition and become a simple display chip manufacturer, so they will not cause dissatisfaction among many board manufacturers.

"As for technology, it's very simple!" Qin Feng smiled, "My proposal is to build a GPU!"

"GPU?" all three were stunned.

"That's right, it's to add a CPU to the existing display core that is dedicated to processing graphics. Qin Feng said, "In this way, the graphics card can greatly reduce its dependence on the CPU, and you can use a cheap CPU and a graphics card with a GPU to achieve picture performance that far exceeds that of expensive CPUs and expensive graphics cards." Qin Feng said.

Gray, Rose, and Scott looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.

The reason why their voodoo (voodoo) 3 graphics card is slow to develop is that it is difficult to upgrade. They don't know how to improve. This leads to a lot of confusion and confusion, so the development is slow.

On the other hand, Qin Feng pointed out a clear path for them.

It's true that the unilateral improvement of the display core is limited now. But if you add a CPU to it, form a GPU, and integrate it, then the performance of the graphics card will be greatly enhanced.

In particular, the core frequency of the display is now only 110MHz, while the CPU core frequency has reached 400MHz. The gap between the two is too great. If a GPU is made, then all of a sudden, the performance of the graphics card will be greatly improved.

And, more importantly, the size of the graphics card can be much larger than that of the CPU. This leads to the fact that the GPU cores of the graphics card can be made larger, which can surpass the CPU, and then the performance can also surpass the CPU. As for heating, is it a problem for the graphics card to heat up?

CPU heating can be more troublesome because the core is a little bigger, but the graphics card is so big, it's easier to make the corresponding heatsink.

At this moment, it is completely like opening a world.

"Qin Feng, your technology can indeed be exchanged for our company's stock. I think we've finally found our way to break the window, thank you!" Gray held Qin Feng's hand tightly.

Qin Feng grinned.

"I'll send you a message, don't you think it's hard to break through the CPU? You go to ATI and buy the CPU division they gave up. They have also developed CPUs, and it is said that the performance will surpass Intel, but the cost performance is too poor, and the yield rate is not high. But I think it's an improvement for you!" Gray laughed.

ATI has also opened up the CPU? Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

It seems that this is a windfall.

"Then thank you!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "Of course, I came here, and one more thing, since we have cooperated, then I hope that Voodoo (voodoo) can also be developed, and the cheap graphics card core that can be directly loaded into the CPU." In this way, players who don't have money can also buy a cheap computer. Of course, this can be a bit difficult. However, it is possible to develop the memory core loaded on the motherboard, so that the motherboard can also directly board the video memory. For players, it's also a savings. You don't need to be good at performance, you just need to be able to play 2D games, and you can play a little bit of introductory 3D game performance!" Qin Feng said.

"Yes, yes. The three of them nodded slowly.

These are also ideas, ideas for making money.

"Qin Feng, no matter how you negotiate with Sega, we will abide by this contract. You can put the money into your account and we'll announce it. Gray said.

Obviously, Qin Feng's idea made him very satisfied.

"The money will arrive soon!" Qin Feng smiled slightly.

At noon that day, the money arrived. Subsequently, at 1 p.m., 3DFX announced that it had reached a cooperation agreement with Lin Feng. At the same time, it announced that it would sell its STB company to Kyushu IT Technology Company in Huaxia.

3DFX will no longer set foot in the field of board production, focusing on making display chips, and welcomes major board manufacturers to come to discuss cooperation.
