Of course, if the target audience changes from NVIDIA to ATI, the method cannot be the same.

In particular, Ho believes in the wet towel theory, and he will never agree to the company being acquired.

Of course, it's not that it won't.

After all, ATI was later acquired by AMD in 2006 for $5.4 billion.

It's just that at the time of the acquisition, ATI had been driven off the altar by Nvidia, which had come later, and was in a deep predicament.

At that time, He Guoyuan also had to sell. And now, there is no way.

As for Qin Feng, waiting until that time to acquire it, this would be too long. That's going to be a few years away. In the past few years, my CPU has been thrown far away by Intel.

Qin Feng can accept that the CPU performance can only be compared with Intel's low-end, but it cannot be said that it has been completely driven out of the market. And with the current development, it is very possible.

Therefore, Qin Feng can only play the comprehensive card and use the overall performance to enhance competitiveness.

But what made Qin Feng very helpless was that Nvidia chose to cooperate closely with Microsoft for politically correct reasons, and He Guoyuan, although he was happy about the company's intention to cooperate with Huaxia, clearly rejected Qin Feng's proposal for cooperation.

ATI can provide display chips for Qin Feng's side, but does not accept all other cooperation.

ATI is currently very strong and is the leader in display chips, with a market share of more than 70% and a market share of 90% in a few countries. With such a strong market position, ATI does not need to work with anyone.

"Mr. Qin, if you want to buy our display chips, we are very welcome. And I am willing to supply you at a price that is 5% lower than the market supply price. He Guoyuan said, "But for your other intentions, I can only say I'm sorry!"

"I know, thank you Mr. He, I will consider your proposal carefully and contact again!" Qin Feng could only hang up the phone helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Ihanno said with a fruit bowl.

Qin Feng shrugged.

"It seems that the world is not all smooth sailing, and not everything is going well. Qin Feng sighed.

Originally, Qin Feng also felt that as long as he had the memory of the afterlife, then everything would be very simple.

But in fact, memory is memory, and the occurrence of those things in memory all happened naturally at that point. Some may succeed if you forcibly intervene yourself, but some may not succeed.

For example, this time, Qin Feng failed one after another.

But Qin Feng was not discouraged.

On the market, there are still display chip manufacturers, not only the powerful ATI, the potential NVIDIA, but also the Voodoo (Voodoo) of the 3DFX company that is now in full swing.

Voodoo graphics card, can be said to be the strongest 3D graphics card today, in the field of 3D, is more than ATI, the current dream configuration of many computer players, is Pentium 2 equipped with Voodoo (Voodoo) 2 graphics card.

It's just that this set of graphics cards has a flaw, that is, its 2D display performance is relatively mediocre, and the price is a bit expensive. Therefore, it is not a standard configuration, but a configuration for a few enthusiasts.

So, Voodoo graphics cards are really good and have a high market share, but they are only limited to a few high-end markets.

After all, there is not much demand for 3D graphics cards at this stage, and there are not many 3D computer games on the market. In particular, no matter how good the Voodoo graphics card is, the game graphics shown by its games cannot be compared to the PS.

The real 3D masterpiece is still on the home console platform. Although there are many games on the computer platform, at present, it is still not enough to support 3D games.

Therefore, Voodoo graphics cards are very popular, but they don't make much money.

In addition, Voodoo graphics cards made a fatal mistake by not supporting Microsoft's DirectX, which made them abandoned by the market in the next two or three years. It was eventually acquired by Nvidia for a very cheap $75 million.

Relative to its status and market appeal, it is really the price of cabbage.

It's a pity that the market never believes in tears.

As for Nvidia, the reason why Nvidia was able to grow into a giant crocodile in the display chip market and catch up later is also because of one point, that is, cooperation with Microsoft. In the early days, Nvidia maintained close cooperation with Microsoft, and was the first to support DirectX, which allowed Microsoft to completely dominate the home computer operating system and lay a solid foundation.

And what gives back to Nvidia is all orders from Microsoft XBOX. The entire XBOX's display chip is all from NVIDIA. This also caused Nvidia's market share to soar instantly, eventually surpassing ATI.

Qin Feng's fingers tapped.

How can this be calculated, his most powerful opponent is actually Microsoft.

And Qin Feng has no hostility towards Microsoft, at present. There's no way, it's not that I don't want to compete, but I don't have any possibility of competition at all.

It's like an ant telling an elephant that he wants to challenge him to kill the elephant.

This is a joke, and no one will take it seriously.

But in reality, Qin Feng is really facing the terrifying Microsoft.

In particular, Microsoft's tentacles have already entered the domestic market.

This soon, Microsoft's win98 will be launched. And Wangyi Ding Sanshi has cooperation with Microsoft.

Qin Feng's thoughts turned, and finally shook his head, not thinking about it.

Some things are too far away to think about so much.

For Qin Feng, what he really needs to consider is how to acquire display chips.

Voodoo is the most suitable at the moment. However, this company is too inflated at the moment.

Voodoo 2, the best graphics card of the moment, is the dream of all gamers.

Although, the company doesn't make much money. Because the development cost is too high, and the manufacturing cost of a single card is too high, plus the sales volume is not high. The whole company, you can say it's an empty shell.

However, people are very angry.

It's like a general who has just won a big battle, and you ask him if he is worried about losing the next war. Isn't this looking for a fight!

Although this day is not far off.

In 2000, Voodoo was acquired by Nvidia.

It's the middle of 1998 now, and it's been 2 years.

A company that is now glamorous will be acquired by Nvidia, which currently looks inconspicuous, and this has to be told to others, and no one will believe it. Of course, this also shows how fierce the IT market is.

And in the graphics card market, the competition is even fiercer.

However, how do you have an entry point?

Qin Feng searched for relevant information on the Internet and accidentally found a coincidence. A very coincidental point.

3DFX was founded by Scott-Sellers, Gary-Tarolli, and Ross-Smith, designers from Silicon Valley graphics, digital devices, MIPS computer systems, and Pellucid.

And these three people happen to be students in the computer science department of Reed College. That is, theoretically Qin Feng's alumnus.

There's a layer of relationship.
