Chapter 344 The price of the 1st generation model has been reduced across the board
Shortly after the launch of the Pangu 2nd generation, Xinchuang Electronics announced that the XRM16 single-core version of the Pangu 1st generation model was discontinued, and the sale was completely discontinued from March 1, 86.
Of course, before March 1, consumers will be able to enjoy a $150 drop, and the memory will be increased by 256KB for free, and the hard disk will be upgraded by 128MB for free, for only $248.
"Starting from March 1st, the single-core version of the Pangu 1st generation console will come to a perfect end, thanks to 30 million consumers, for their support over the past few years! Although this console still has a lot of sales, we hope that consumers on the Pangu platform can buy models with higher-level configurations and better experience, so we have taken the initiative to eliminate the low-configuration version. Starting from March 1, the Pangu 1st generation console, with a minimum configuration of dual-core XRM16 version, memory 256KB, is adjusted to $398 per unit. In addition, the 4-core XRM16 version, with 256KB of RAM, costs $498. The 8-core XRM16 version will have 1MB of RAM, and at the same time, the video memory will also be increased to 1MB, and the price will be adjusted to $1598...... The price of our 1st generation consoles of various models has been greatly reduced after upgrading the configuration. This is mainly because under Moore's Law, the cost of our hardware is cheaper than if the product was just launched. Of course, there are bottlenecks in the hardware upgrade of the current generation of consoles, and in the next few years, it may be that their configurations will lag far behind the mainstream configurations. But at present, without considering the potential of hardware upgrades, the 1st generation Pangu quad-core version should be able to compete with the 2nd generation Pangu console. At the same time, the first-generation 8-core version, in the running of some multi-threaded programs and to a larger extent, because it has more cores, larger memory, and larger video memory, therefore, is more powerful than the 2nd generation console. Gao Tian, CEO of the new start-up electronics company Pangu Project, announced, "If the user is too lazy to toss, he is ready to directly replace the new machine in a few years." Now if you want to get a good gaming and office experience, you can actually get the multi-core version of the Pangu generation. In addition, some users who pursue cost-effectiveness, you can consider the Pangu 1 generation single-core version that is about to be discontinued, it has been able to meet a lot of daily work, in addition, most of the classic games on the Pangu platform are also developed on the Pangu 1 generation single-core platform, although the Pangu 2 generation is perfectly compatible with the 1st generation, but, for a long time, the games and application resources developed specifically for the Pangu 2 generation should be relatively small. In the future, at least 1~2 years later, users will still use 32-bit computers to play games on 16-bit computers. If you don't think about the long-term, and you don't pursue performance, you must be at the forefront of the times, so it's not a bad choice to get on the Pangu 1 generation now!"
The original Pangu 2nd generation hungry sales have also been alleviated to a certain extent with the price reduction of the 1st generation console across the board. Many users, looking at the current use of the first generation of models, and the cost performance is extremely high, so many users can't help but decide to buy the 1st generation multi-core version to upgrade their old models.
Of course, there are also a bunch of users of other game platforms or PCs and Apple computers, because the Pangu 1st generation model is too cheap, so they buy the cheapest version of the single-core version that is about to be withdrawn from the market with the mentality of trying it out.
Because of the price reduction of the first-generation model, so that in the next few months, the sales volume of the first-generation Pangu will be against the sky.
In particular, the Pangu 1st generation single core version has sold more than 5 million units in more than two months that it is about to be delisted. It has truly achieved the sales of 30 million units of a single model, and has launched the perfect result with the world's best achievements in the industry.
Other dual-core and quad-core versions, due to reduced prices and improved configurations, have exceeded 500,000 monthly sales!
Even the relatively expensive Pangu 1st generation 8-core version has monthly sales of more than 50,000 units. Compared with other Pangu models, this result is naturally very ashamed. However, other computer manufacturers, even for this kind of model that sells tens of thousands of units a month, will feel very greedy. You know, Apple's current high-end models buy Macintosh computers, and the sales volume is only 20,000 units per month.
Of course, it is also a helpless choice to let the price of the 1st generation console reduce the price to alleviate the shortage of 2nd generation consoles. Assuming that the XRM32 chip can not be out of stock, Xinchuang Electronics naturally hopes that more users will buy this 32-bit model, because 32-bit can represent the future, and more users can use 32-bit machines, so that software manufacturers can transform and develop 32-bit model-based software.
It's a pity that in terms of semiconductor process technology, Lin Qi can't do it.
Although Lin Qi has a lot of future information, after all, he doesn't know much about technology, he may know every word, and he feels completely incomprehensible when the whole article is added up. As a result, it is difficult for him to provide targeted information to R&D personnel
To put it simply, in the face of more and more complex technology trees, Lin Qi feels that he is guarding a large treasure trove of wisdom, but it is becoming more and more difficult to use this knowledge to effectively improve the technical level of his own enterprise, and he can only vaguely provide some "directional" guidance, which feels a little unwilling.
Sometimes, Lin Qi also thought that if Meng Xin came over, perhaps, she would be able to make better use of these future technologies, right?
……
In January 2023, Lin Qi rushed back before the Chinese New Year.
In this world, the family is happy, and although the money is not as big as the family in the parallel world, it also has a lot of industry.
Of course, the only deficiency in the family is that Lin Qi doesn't care about his family very much.
For this, Lin Qi's parents are completely on Meng Xin's side. After all, Meng Xin not only gave birth to offspring for this family, but also managed Lin Qi's industry well when he went out, and he could be filial to his parents at home.
"Don't say it's a husband and wife, it's a parent and a child, and they are separated if they don't see each other all year round. The old mother nagged and said, "It's no problem if you like to run outside, the child is also born, we just take care of the child, you husband and wife can go out together, with Meng Xin looking at you, we can rest assured." ”
"This ......" Lin Qi hesitated a little.
"What's this, that, if it's not evil outside, Meng Xin should be fine with it, right?" Dad said, "Meng Xin knows a lot more people than you, in case something happens, she calls for help, but you are much more powerful." ”
"......" Lin Qi always felt that his parents thought crookedly about his career. Of course, this is also related to Lin Qi's difficulty in explaining, for the sake of the safety of his family, Lin Qi did not easily inform the second person of the secret of the crossing.
The reason why the degree of secrecy is so high is not that they don't trust their families. It's because even parents are just ordinary people, and if they accidentally leak secrets, it can cause great trouble.
You know, this is not an ordinary secret, but a secret that can travel through the timeline and travel back and forth between the two worlds, which is much more valuable than any treasure in the history of the world.
