Grove's plan was for Intel to develop an operating system, and then use its strong influence over OEMs to push their operating system, selling CPUs for $100 and operating systems for $1.

This is a strategy against Microsoft.

But the downside is that Microsoft can do the same. Microsoft can buy AMD and then sell the operating system for $100 and the CPU for $1. This result will lead to a lose-lose situation.

The stocks of both sides will plummet because of the behavior of both sides, and eventually although they seize the market with each other, they will form a tragedy of two-headed snakes swallowing each other. At the end of the day, no one gets the benefits.

So, it's just an ultimate means. One day, if Microsoft were to sanction Intel, it would be the ultimate resort.

It's like a nuclear bomb in the real world, it's hugely powerful, but it doesn't work for both.

"So what should we do?" said a director.

"Barrett, you're the current president, you decide!" Morgan said.

Although Morgan is one of the founders and the second president, he is old after all, and he will not overstep his bounds.

Barrett pondered for a moment.

"For now, I think, let's wait and see. Then, if necessary, take Tualatin out. As for Qin Feng's integration plan, it may not be successful!" Barrett said.

Intel also tried to work on a consolidation plan last year. Of course, that is not because of Qin Feng, but Intel's attempt to resist Microsoft's hegemony.

Intel tried to create the idea of packaging the graphics chip and the motherboard chipset together. Eventually, though, after trying for a while, I gave up. Because in doing so, one is technically more difficult, and the second is to set up too many enemies.

Originally, Intel was an opponent AMD, at most Qin Feng, a halfway monk. But these are not real opponents. After all, Intel has a technological advantage.

But when he enters the graphics chip market, and the motherboard chip market, he will face competition from all the companies in the world. The other side may not unite, but they will definitely join forces to drive Intel out.

So, after some trying, Grove decided that it was too cost-effective for Intel to offend global affiliates in order to confront Microsoft. So I gave up.

As for Tualatin, originally their plan was not until around 2002. It's good now, if you take it out this year, it will be 4 years ahead of schedule.

However, it is also necessary.

At present, Qin Feng is still using a similar core of the Pentium 1 generation to fight against their Pentium 2.

There would have been no comparison.

But Qin Feng is constantly increasing the frequency.

It's like Intel's chips are really efficient and can handle more tasks in one sitting. Qin Feng's Loongson can't handle so many tasks in one period of time. But Qin Feng can shorten the task cycle and complete more tasks.

Of course, Intel can also boost the frequency performance of the Pentium 2. But blindly improving, it is very annoying. Because, this will reduce the profit margin.

Suffice it to say, the higher the frequency, the lower the profit. Because, the higher the frequency, the lower the yield rate of the CPU, and the higher the cost.

Naturally, the lower the profit.

However, at this stage, if there is really any change on Qin Feng's side, then they can only prepare to take out the artifact of Tulatin.

After all, Tualatin's technology, both core and frequency, will completely sling all CPUs, and it is far from a galaxy.

"As for the relationship with Microsoft, I think that Microsoft is about to launch win98, let's wait and see. If win98 is really that good, then we can only maintain the current relationship. On the other hand, if it is not good enough, we may be able to unite with some software vendors to launch products that can be replaced!" Barrett said in a deep voice.

If you really want to be tough with Microsoft, it's too expensive. There will be trouble on both sides.

Everyone starts a company, not for vindictiveness. At the beginning, Bill Gates was swept away by Grove and lost face, but in the end he chose to cooperate with Intel, and the cooperation has been for so many years.

Money solves everything.

Qin Feng's side, after the negotiation with Nvidia broke down, he also fell into hard thinking.

Qin Feng didn't expect that Nvidia didn't even give a chance to talk, and didn't give Qin Feng any chance to negotiate at all.

I have to say that Nvidia is politically correct and has done it very correctly.

After all, now I am only looking for a bank loan to keep the factory running. And Microsoft, which Nvidia cooperates with, and Intel, which Microsoft cooperates, not only have great wealth, but also have technology that far exceeds the industry.

In all aspects, it is far beyond his own side.

It's normal for Nvidia to choose this way.

However, without NVIDIA, Qin Feng is not without a choice.

For example, in the future, it will fight against NVIDIA's ATI display chip, which is also known as the A card.

The founder of ATI, He Guoyuan, is also a Chinese. However, in 1962, he moved to Xiangjiang, but completed his studies on Treasure Island, and then immigrated to Canada, where he founded ATI.

Therefore, it is really difficult to say whether He Guoyuan has deep feelings for Huaxia, Xiangjiang, or Baodao.

In particular, Ho believes in a theory called "wet towels".

What is the wet towel theory, which means that the company treats everyone who works as a wet towel, and when you drain the last drop of water, you will throw it away.

To put it simply, when you have squeezed all your surplus value, as a wage earner, you will be abandoned.

Therefore, for He Guoyuan, he went from a poor boy to a poor boy, the whole family was very poor, a family of four, his parents and him and his eldest brother, lived in a single room without a bathroom, and the small room only had a bunk and a bed for his parents.

In such an environment, let him grow. ATI was finally created.

However, He Guoyuan founded ATI in 1985, and now 13 years have passed, and ATI has changed from a small company with a dozen people starting a business in a garage to a large company with an annual output value of more than one billion dollars.

On his own side, well, the shipment volume is not bad, but the profit, Qin Feng thought about it and decided to change his thinking.

Qin Feng seemed to be a little anxious before, wanting to reach an in-depth cooperation agreement with NVIDIA, and had the intention to make it his own company.

After all, it's not impossible to spend money in advance. Even if the price is a bit high. Qin Feng originally decided to spend about $1 billion to acquire Nvidia based on Nvidia's company.

Although this money is a bit huge, Qin Feng is not out of reach.

As for why I didn't look for ATI in the first place, the reason is simple. ATI is too strong, and the future prospects are not as good as Nvidia's.

But now it seems that we can only find ATI, the current leader in the graphics chip market.
