Chapter 990: AMD's Future

AMD's current CEO is Su Zifen, a relative of the Nvidia leather-clad man, and Wanwan's female elite. Yahoo is AMD's largest shareholder, although it is said that it does not control the board of directors, but Galaxy Capital and Mubadala Investment still have a lot of shares in their hands, and the veto power has long been in the hands of Zhou Shi, but most of the time it is not necessary to use it.

"I won't go around the bush, let AMD acquire MIPS, and enter the fields of artificial intelligence, unmanned driving, etc., open up another battlefield for AMD, and find new opportunities, what do you think about this matter?" Zhou Shi made an appointment to meet Su Zifen

"AMD is not suitable for expansion ......at the moment," Su Zifen refused without thinking about it

Zhou Shi didn't care, and directly intervened in the operation of a company, AMD is not a subsidiary of Yahoo, not Yelp, so he is naturally very taboo about this! But he doesn't bother to care about other people's opportunities, the strength is here, he doesn't mind teaching Su Zifen how to be a person.

"That's what we think...... Zhou Shi explained Yahoo's future development and needs, as well as AMD's vision and requirements for the future.

"What I need AMD is not a 10-billion-dollar IC design company, but a 100-billion-dollar company, with a minimum market value of $50 billion. I'd rather not have that potential without that potential. Until then, I'm willing to spend time and energy to make some efforts, even if it is a short delay in AMD's development...... "Zhou Shi added

"The gap between our Zen architecture chips and Intel has narrowed a lot, and we are confident that we will win a larger ......market in Intel's competition," said Su Zifen

"You don't understand what I'm saying?" Zhou Shi, the CPU of the X86 architecture is not a sunset industry, it has long passed the peak of the industry and then goes downhill, if AMD blindly stares at Intel, forgets the development of the outside world, and does not make changes in advance, it will be over sooner rather than later. This should not be difficult to understand!

"What Mr. Zhou means is that it is not easy for AMD to have the current development, and it can't follow Intel in everything, and it should have its own choices and efforts...... "Morse, he is a member of the board of directors sent by Yahoo to AMD, Zhou Shi should have sung red face, Morse sang white face, but unfortunately Zhou Shi was a little angry.

"We can discuss and discuss......" Su Zifen

How much of a role Su Ma played in AMD's revival, Zhou Shi didn't know, anyway, she was a scholarly character. However, most of the Wanwan people are very hypocritical. Maybe there are many differences between the Zhou Shi in her understanding and the real Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi did not choose to entangle with Su Zifen and returned to Yahoo.

"The best way is to control AMD's board of directors, for example, Mr. Zhou can directly join AMD's board of directors, so that it is more convenient to express opinions," Morse said

"Joining AMD's Board ......of Directors?" said Zhou Shi

The board of directors is the largest authority of a company, and if the chairman and CEO are the same person, Zhou Shi may have great difficulties. But Su Zifen has not been with AMD for a long time, this CEO position is a major breakthrough in her career, and now AMD is not successful, she does not have this qualification, and may never have it in the future.

Zhou Shi is not difficult to join AMD's board of directors, it is not easy to say that it is simple, there will always be people who don't want to have an old lady above their heads, fortunately, Su Zifen has not made much achievements, and now it is just AMD's Yu Ze protection. The board of directors may have more people who believe in Zhou Shi than Su Zifen. Even if no one trusts him, he will achieve his goals through the means of capital.

Selling MIPS is not the goal, including AMD is the goal, Yahoo wants to do artificial intelligence, and the combination of software and hardware is the king. AMD is also considered to be the world's top in IC design capabilities, much stronger than those start-ups that don't know how to follow. After changing your mind, the road should be much easier.

The domestic Loongson introduced the funds of Time and Sixiang Fund, and later invested in the husks and nuts, but Zhou Shi has not been involved in the control of Loongson. It is enough for him to play a leading role, and the rest is handed over to the Loongson team, an IC design company with half of the national bloodline.

In the MIPS open source organization, Yahoo is the well-deserved leader, but Loongson has made a lot of contributions to it, becoming the enterprise that has contributed the most to the MIPS architecture in China. In the past life, many unicorn companies in the field of artificial intelligence chips came from the Loongson team, which shows that the strength of this team is still very good. It's just that there was a lack of capital investment in the past, the income and benefits of team members were not ideal, and their careers could not see prospects, so there was a tendency to fall apart. Now with the help of Zhou Shi, coupled with MIPS open source, time, and nuts' procurement of Loongson brand chips, this has made Loongson have a rising trend. It has attracted a large number of venture capital to participate, including the large fund of Huaxia semiconductor industry, which has also invested part of the funds in Loongson.

Spreadtrum's development has reached the present, he has let go, no matter which direction they are heading, it is the company's internal decision, and Zhou Shi will not care. Mainly because he really doesn't understand this industry, he used to know at most that he wanted to make ARM-based mobile phone chips, have his own GPU, have mobile communication patents, and so on. Now there is an artificial intelligence chip, but this thing is divided into categories and there are too many directions, where does he know what will become mainstream and what is a market segment. It's better to leave it to the professionals, and the new phone released by Guoke at the end of this year will use AI-specific chips, which are later known as NPU embedded neural network processors.

Among the three major chip design companies closely related to Zhou Shi, Loongson undoubtedly prefers servers and PCs, Spreadtrum prefers mobile CPUs, and Mobileye also makes unmanned driving chips, so should AMD have a greater challenge?

Zhou Shi didn't think about letting AMD challenge Intel's position, this is unrealistic, some things can be successful without advanced technology. And what about the advanced technology, almost all industries have cycles, which can also be said to be life cycles, nascent, growth, maturity, aging and death. Can the X86 chip survive against the trend?

Let AMD move into emerging industries, not only so that it does not go down the wrong path, but also to take advantage of opportunities. The decline of an industry, the rise of an industry, is far from being as simple as we see in history, nothing is bound to succeed or fail. But in the field of X86 chips, everyone should know how much chance AMD has of surpassing Intel. Only by entering a new market with huge market potential can AMD have a chance to explode!

Zhou Shi also has a careful thought, that is, one day, the world's best artificial intelligence chip companies are under his umbrella, so how wonderful will the future be? You must know that monopoly is the world's biggest source of wealth......
