Since Jerry Sanders founded AMD, it has actually grown faster than Intel. However, AMD's scale is inferior to Intel's, and the initial situation is mainly due to the congenital lack of capital scale.

When Intel was founded, it took only 5 minutes, and D took 5 million minutes to raise $50,000 in investment. In addition, the founders who founded AMD invested part of it themselves, and AMD was founded with only $100,000 in capital.

After more than ten years of development to the early 80s, the market capitalization of AMD and Intel exceeded $1 billion. Even if there was a gap with Intel's market value at that time, the difference was limited.

After that, Sanders continued to provoke Intel in the media, saying that his ability far surpassed Intel, and the center of Silicon Valley in the future was AMD, not Intel, National Semiconductor, and IBM.

However, in the 80s, the U.S. semiconductor industry encountered challenges from Japan, and the memory business, which was the largest in the market, suffered a large area of losses and bankruptcy under the dumping of low prices in the Japanese semiconductor industry. Intel relied on the transformation of X86 chips as its main business, and D once lacked this core product, but survived by becoming the second supplier of X86 chips.

Before the mid-'80s, AMD wasn't having a good time. It wasn't until AMD received the foundry contract for Pangu Computer's XRM chips that its performance took off again.

It is precisely for this reason that the capital market believes that the new venture electronics company will become a long-term shareholder of AMD, which is conducive to the stability and growth of AMD's orders.

As soon as the news broke, ADM's stock price has stabilized at more than $10 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio is more than 50 times, far higher than Intel's valuation and even higher.

But Intel just feels different, it has been competing with AMD for many years, and has been pressing AMD, whether it is the level of technology, order share, total profit, or the market value of the stock market, it has always surpassed AMD. But now AMD's momentum is far more fierce than Intel!

So much so that Intel, which originally wanted to squeeze toothpaste, has been mainly polishing the 386 chip in recent years. The 486 is currently only supplied to Nintendo for the console market. Now, under the pressure of AMD, Intel is ready to skip 486 and go directly to the Pentium!

Of course, the 486 will continue to be produced, but it will not expand its production capacity, because the 486 will be positioned as a chip that will only supply Nintendo's game consoles.

And the next generation of Pentium is the chip that Intel is ready to turn over and inspire the PC camp to have confidence in Intel!

At the end of April 89, IBM and Intel joined forces to announce the Pentium processor plan in advance, according to the news revealed in advance, the Pentium processor will be based on the original X86 architecture, absorb the advantages of the reduced instruction set, and improve the overall performance.

Intel confidently said that the architecture design of the Pentium will not be inferior to the chip of the XRM architecture. In terms of technology, Intel is at the leading level, so the Pentium that will be listed at that time will definitely be the strongest personal computer chip on the planet.

In a sense, if the toothpaste factory was not forced to be in a hurry, it would not have said one after another that it still had a bunch of pressed boxes!

Originally, the chip of Pentium should be the bottom of the box, and it made enough money by relying on chips such as 286, 386, 486, etc. After that, this kind of Pentium chip production line that costs more and requires greater investment costs will be launched.

But now, if Intel doesn't show its strength, I'm afraid that the PC compatible machine camp will consider using AMD chips. Because, AMD's X86 chip will also add an XRM as an auxiliary computing chip, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the chip. This kind of chip with a bit of a hybrid architecture trend is not only not inferior in performance to X86 chips, but also cheaper in price.

It is precisely because of this that Intel has to reduce the imperfect chips in the laboratory and can't wait to launch them.

……

"Mr. Lin, wherever you go, the business world has made waves. Xiao Xiao smiled, "AMD and Intel are tearing up now!"

"Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the competition in the tech industry is particularly brutal. Intel is in such a hurry to launch new chips, and we don't need to rush, anyway, it's AMD who is in a hurry. With a strong chip manufacturing industry, with the advantage of domestic cheap scientific research talent reserves, we will definitely be able to design better and more advanced architecture chips!" Lin Qi said with a smile, "The most important thing is not the United States, but our domestic strength! I do so much in the overseas market, in essence, in addition to stable suppliers, it is also to make opponents think that we rely heavily on companies like AMD for supply, and we lack the manufacturing capacity of high-end chips!" In fact, what is lacking, I have to make up for it, if it doesn't work, it will always be temporary, no matter how much money is invested, no matter how much capital is consumed, it must be done!"

Less than silently nodded a thumbs up in his heart, no matter at any time, Mr. Lin's pattern is so long-term, and he does not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but more through the layout, to make stable development time for the long-term plan. In addition, use the current profits to feed back the business that can produce benefits in the future.

If Chinese businessmen think so, I am afraid that in the future, the domestic scientific and technological level will definitely lead the world. Pity...... There are still too few businessmen like Mr. Lin!

Lin Qi did not despise Intel, the boss of X86 chips, because he could develop chips and more efficient reduced instruction set chips. Because, Intel's strongest advantage is not only chip research and development, but also the management of semiconductor factories.

In other words, even with the same machinery and equipment, other people's factories may not really be able to reach the level of Intel overnight. Because, Intel has long mastered rich experience in semiconductor R&D and manufacturing, and in terms of talent reserve, it is unmatched by any semiconductor manufacturer.

Moreover, the Pentium chip itself is also very powerful, and the toothpaste factory has further stood out and consolidated the hegemony of the CPU industry, which has really started from the era of Pentium processors.

Historically, the Pentium processor was released in October 1992 and officially introduced to the market in March 1993.

Among them, the most noteworthy is that there are two data pipelines in the Pentium processor, which can execute two instructions at the same time, Intel Corporation calls this ability to execute two instructions at the same time as superscalar technology, the technology Pentium processor can work faster at the rate of two instructions per cycle, and this technology has been used until the core era in the future.

This kind of technology is actually derived from some concepts of reduced instruction set, which shows that Intel's X86 will also evolve and progress.

The first-generation Pentium processor is clocked at 60MHz and 66MHz, and the second-generation Pentium processor launched in March 1994 has 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz, 133MHz, 150MHz, 166MHz and 200MHz.

Even Xiaobai knows that the higher the CPU frequency, the stronger the performance.

Of course, the main frequency of chips with different architectures is not comparable. Sometimes, a chip with a new architecture of 100MHz may be more powerful than the actual performance of a chip of the old architecture of 150MHz.

However, it is possible to guess the approximate performance just by looking at the frequency of the chip. For example, a 10MHz chip, no matter how advanced and efficient the architecture is, will definitely not be able to compete with a 100MHZ chip.

"Mr. Lin, the matter in the United States has come to an end, and we don't have any arrangements for the future, right?"

After checking Lin Qi's schedule and confirming that there was nothing going on, he asked.

The trip to Japan was an accident.

"There's no hurry, there's one last goal, and there's an untapped potential market. ”

"What else? Could it be that you did it on the spot?" However, it will make the follow-up schedule very troublesome, and some of the plans made before may have to be canceled.
