Chapter 899: Mutual Contempt (Three More Requests for Subscription)
"Qin Feng wants to integrate the GPU into the CPU, is this possible?" said many directors.
It's not a simple technique.
"In terms of integration, it's not difficult!" Moore lifted his glasses, "Technically speaking, although it is cumbersome, as long as the process is upgraded, then it can be done." It's just that the performance improvement brought by such integration is very limited, after all, the CPU is so big, plus a GPU, the performance is not outstanding!"
"At best, it's an entry-level graphics card performance!" said someone from the tech department.
Everyone discussed and discussed, and felt that Qin Feng's strategy was not very powerful.
Of course, the crowd did not take it lightly.
After all, although Qin Feng didn't pose any threat, he hated it and made them make a lot less money.
"So, never let him buy Nvidia. Of course, Nvidia also directly refused, after all, there is cooperation with Microsoft, and between Microsoft and us, it is a cooperative relationship!" Barrett said.
"And that brings us back to the second question, the partnership with Microsoft!" Barrett said, "How are we going to work with Microsoft in the future?"
Between Intel and Microsoft, though, the Win-Tel alliance was created, allowing them to dominate the PC era.
However, there are also suspicions in the cooperation between the two sides.
In 1978, 23-year-old Bill Gates met Grove for the first time, who was already the president of Intel, and the two sides discussed some future developments in the IT world.
But at this time, although Bill Gates had already created Microsoft, Microsoft was only a small company with 11 people, and it was not well known. Intel, on the other hand, is a large enterprise with more than 10,000 employees, or a multinational company.
There is a huge disparity between the two sides.
At first, many of the two people's views coincided, so they chose to have dinner together.
But during the dinner, many of the two sides differed, which in turn led to a quarrel. According to the memories of some service staff in the restaurant, the two sides quarreled so much that even the people in the kitchen were alarmed.
In the end, the food in front of Bill Gates was not moving, completely full of anger, and finally walked away.
Groff, on the other hand, finished his meal slowly, and finally left calmly.
Obviously, those so-called success sales masters who say that successful people are congenitally cultivated are.
The so-called aura, demeanor, wisdom, etc., all depend on your identity.
Successful such as Bill Gates, the man who has occupied the throne of the richest man in the world for many years, there were times when he couldn't eat because of the disparity in status, and finally walked away.
If there is another quarrel between the two sides now, then Bill Gates will definitely finish the meal in front of him with a smile on his face.
Because, the status is different. With status, you have the bearing.
This is just like why some people who are not wealthy in society are more keen to buy brand-name bags, not only to satisfy personal vanity, but also a means to fill their own self-confidence through luxury goods.
Those who are rich, such as the charter men in the Lion City, walk around all day in slippers and big pants. They don't have a brand, they are just as confident. That's because they can afford to buy a stack of bags at any time, so they're confident.
They don't need designer bags to decorate themselves, because the many keys they have in their hands are the best decorations. On the contrary, if you don't have these keys, don't have so many suites, and run around for three meals a day every day, can you still be so confident and calm?
Now Intel and Microsoft, the two positions have begun to reverse.
So, how does Intel handle its relationship with Microsoft?
After all, the relationship between the two sides has been very uncordant all these years, and they have only maintained close cooperation for the sake of common interests.
For example, Intel's program engineers have always been streamlined, simple, and efficient, while Microsoft's programs are always error-ridden and inefficient to execute. Intel's compiler is always two or three times faster than Microsoft's.
Intel has been mocking Microsoft's programmers internally, not because of their incompetence, but because of their low morality. Because it's a matter of ethics, as a programmer, you should come up with efficient and simple programs. To make this kind of process, that is a matter of professional ethics.
At one time, Intel programmers also gave advice to Microsoft programmers, and put forward comments on some of their Excel code. It is believed that after its modification, it can improve its program efficiency by more than 8 times.
But this kind of proposal was dismissed by Microsoft programmers. thinks that it does the CPU to guide the software, that is the class to make the axe.
It can be said that the programmers on both sides have been contemptuous of each other for many years and look down on each other.
However, under the mutual benefit, the two sides have always maintained external harmony.
However, under Grove's advocacy, Intel has been heavily reliant on Microsoft.
This has also become the biggest regret of Grove's life.
At the beginning, the kid who was swept away by his own anger because of his disagreement with his own ideas, and couldn't eat a bite of food, has grown into a pillar of optimus. Intel, on the contrary, is declining.
"What are we going to do?" asked Barrett.
Many directors did not say anything this time.
This matter is very serious, and the slightest carelessness may trigger a violent shock.
And for now, Intel is even more shocked.
At this point, Moore pulled out a document.
"Originally, we wanted to introduce NSP (Native Signal Processing), but it would have an impact on Microsoft's software standard architecture, and they were worried that we would impact their position, so they openly opposed NSP and threatened us many times. In the end, we chose to give up. Moore said.
Many directors exclaimed, I didn't expect this kind of thing.
Although everyone is a director, after all, there are many executive directors, and some things are not clear.
Perhaps from that moment on, Grove was looking at his previous attitude towards Microsoft. "And he has a plan for Microsoft to do for us!" Moore said.
This sounds very tongue-twisting, but to put it simply, if Microsoft targets Intel, then Intel must take countermeasures.
Moore handed the document to the group.
The counter-plan is that Intel uses its position as an OEM to develop or acquire a system, and then use its position to have those OEMs pre-install their systems.
Intel can then sell the CPU for $100 and the system for $1. In order to impact Microsoft's position.
After all, at this stage, major OEMs, while buying Intel CPUs, are also spending money to buy Microsoft's operating system.
And neither is cheap. If a system can be installed for $1, Intel's status is not impossible to change the attitude of major software vendors.
However, there is also a fatal flaw in this.
