Intel Headquarters.

CEO Robert looked at this quarter's report, his brow furrowed into a ball of hemp rope!

"That's a quarter of $4 billion?" Robert rubbed his temples, tempted to curse!

This turnover is too little for him, and it is pitiful! If it were in previous years, no matter how bad a quarter was, there would have been at least $15 billion in turnover!

The year before last, they had a turnover of $63 billion a year, and a staggering $20 billion in the highest quarter.

This is still an old rival AMD, which has seized almost half of the global market share, otherwise, their Intel turnover would be even more.

As we all know, over the years, computer processors have been dominated by Intel and AMD companies that occupy the vast majority of the global market share.

Four years ago, AMD was still a little brother in front of Intel, but three years ago, the company turned around and developed Ryzen processors, which suddenly grabbed a large number of market shares. Finally open up with him Intel!

Just when the two companies were fighting, suddenly Galaxy Technology Company was born. Launched the Galaxy series of computer CPUs. Seize the Chinese market in an instant.

Since last year, the market share of their two giants, Intel and AMD, has been seized by Xiao Jun's company.

First of all, in the first half of last year, most of the Chinese market was lost.

In the second half of last year, the war spread to the international market.

Especially this year, the Galaxy series of computer processors not only won 98% of the market share in China, but also won more than 40% of the market share in the world. The remaining 60% of the international market share is divided equally between the two companies.

Originally, the Chinese market was a big importer of computer processors, but it lost the Chinese market last year, and in the second half of the year, people seized the international market. This year, both of them are having a hard time.

"Market share is constantly being compressed, and the company's stock is plummeting. The latest generation of computer CPUs and Galaxy CPUs are not very competitive. If this continues, will we have to follow in the footsteps of Qualcomm?" Robert was very irritable.

Originally, their company launched a computer processor that directly followed the Galaxy generation a few months ago, but it didn't take long for people to launch a graphene computer CPU, so they suddenly lost their market competitiveness.

"Damn, market share has dropped from 23% to 19% this month!" said Robert, slapping the table angrily. That's a global market share. It also includes the Huaxia market.

Back then, Intel's share of the global market share started at 50%!

"No, I'm going to have a meeting right away!" Robert immediately began to call the higher-ups for a meeting.

He decided he couldn't sit still!

Inside the conference room.

Robert threw this quarter's turnover report in the faces of many executives: "You guys, look at this quarter's turnover and this month's sales of our processors. In one word, miserable!"

"We've lost our hegemony this year, and we've been relegated to the second tier with AMD. At present, the only company in the first echelon is Galaxy Technology! It is the only one that has taken our market share!"

"We can't sit still, since Galaxy Technology has developed a new type of graphene CPU, we must also vigorously develop graphene CPUs! And in terms of performance, we must definitely surpass each other!" Robert said fiercely.

"This plan is the [Science and Technology Competition] plan, I don't believe it, I don't believe that Galaxy Technology can keep laughing at the end. We still have a strong foundation! We have a strong capital, and we cannot sit idly by. So, I'm going to split $20 billion to implement this [tech race] plan!" Robert knows very well that Galaxy Technology is a boiled frog to them right now, and when they steal all the market share that day, that's when they are facing bankruptcy. While there is still a chance, then you have to fight against the water!

If you let the frog be boiled slowly in warm water, you will definitely end up following in the footsteps of Qualcomm.

"Shhh...... $20 billion -- Isn't that too much? It's too risky. ”

"I don't think 20 billion dollars will necessarily be able to develop the technology of graphene CPU. ”

"Even if we do it, we still have to develop a production line......

"If we don't, can we just wait for death? I believe that the current AMD company must be an ant on a hot pot and is also looking for a way out. The only thing we can do is to develop a computer processor that can compete with the Galaxy Graphene CPU!"

A group of high-level executives began to compete fiercely.

"However, I estimated that we would have to invest $50 billion! Once we invested $50 billion, our funds would be tight, and there would even be a breakdown. ”

"Even so, you can't wait for death!"

"I can only fight!"

"What if you invest $50 billion and it still doesn't work out?"

"This ......" everyone was silent.

Eventually, though, Intel decided to take the plunge.

Sometimes that's the case, once there is a strong opponent, a strong opponent who can beat you, it can better spur you to improve. That's the case with Intel now. It's really a draw from the bottom of the kettle, and it's a fight against the water.

It's like the competition between the US imperialists and Goose Ross in military technology back then, so the weapons of the two bigwigs are getting more and more powerful. More than a decade or even decades ahead of other countries! That's why we are competing with each other to do our best!

…………

In addition to Intel, in fact, many companies in the entire semiconductor industry around the world are now full of crisis. Because they have a public enemy number one - Galaxy Technology!

At present, AMD is also investing a lot of money in the research and development of more advanced computer CPUs, in order to compete with Galaxy Technology Company, in order to recover the market decline.

In addition to the computer CPU market.

For example, Micron in the memory card market, Hynix and so on are in the technology race.

There are also Samsung, IMB, Nvidia, MediaTek, Broadcom, MSI...... And so on dozens of companies.

Most of them are related to the semiconductor industry, or the entire company's business scope is semiconductor products. So they're all having a miserable time now. A large amount of global market share was snatched up by Galaxy Technologies.

Stocks plummeted, turnover plummeted, and many companies laid off employees...... But it has to invest a lot of money in science and technology competitions.

I have to say that Galaxy Technology Company is forced in most of the semiconductor fields, and these companies want to cry!

The semiconductor field involved is also large enough.

From computers to mobile phones, from automotive chips to industrial chips, from industrial chips to various other semiconductors......

Among them, Sapphire and Gigabyte have declared bankruptcy......
