Chapter Forty-Eight: Some Changes [Ask for Recommendation Votes!First Update]

Wanhu's consistent strategy is to avoid its edge and not to compete for the market that is already controlled by the hegemon.

From the release to the sale, the graphics card did not cause too many people to panic. A hegemon like Intel, which has integrated the chaotic processor market, has not paid too much attention to the emergence of such a thing as graphics cards.

Intel's leadership believes that graphics cards, like sound cards, are just some sensationalism without core technology.

The personal computer is a productivity tool, as long as the performance of the productivity tool is good, what sound quality, what picture, what is good, but what can be done without it? Will it affect the processing of data?

Moreover, Intel as an experienced chip company. After integrating the chip market, there is no longer a crazy way to improve performance.

Rather, it is based on the existing conditions, little by little, to improve the performance.

If we talk about the current technology, the performance limit that can be reached is like squeezing out all the tubes of toothpaste.

Intel's decision-makers believe that instead of squeezing all the toothpaste at once and then rushing to find the next tube of toothpaste, it is better to squeeze a little bit at a time, so that not only can you save money, but also can calmly transition from this tube of toothpaste to the next tube.

Such a toothpaste theory, for Intel, of course, only benefits and no harm.

In addition, the new generation of processors can be updated every year, doesn't it seem that Intel's technical capabilities are stronger?

For those users who are in pursuit of performance, as well as those who look at the performance indicators and feel uncomfortable without changing to the latest processor, this is also a boon for them!

However, in the pleasant atmosphere of this unified market, there are still some miscellaneous fish such as AMD, trying to disrupt their rhythm with better performance processors.

However, AMD's processing chips are always more or less flawed, and the advertising is not as good as Intel's.

So although AMD's processors are better, they are sold at a lower price, fewer people buy them, and their profit margins are lower.

Lower profit margins mean lower R&D budgets and lower publicity budgets.

Therefore, Chaowei Semiconductor has become a salted fish that has to turn over almost every year, and has always wanted to turn over, but when it really wants to turn over, Intel only needs to use a little force, and it is not so easy to turn over.

They are busy fighting in the field of processors, and they are not so concerned about the niche display field that "small companies" such as ATI and Wanhu focus on.

And this is the opportunity for Wanhu and ATI to make display chips.

You must know that if Intel and AMD do the processing chips, it will cost a lot less money and time than companies such as Wanhu and ATI.

Because, the display chip is actually just a specially designed processor with special performance requirements.

What it requires is not the ability to solve complex operations quickly, but the ability to perform a large number of simple operations at the same time.

Therefore, when Intel and AMD were still in the single-core era, they were gradually encountering frequency bottlenecks, and wanted to develop multi-core CPUs.

Wanhu has already begun to develop multi-core display chips.

And when these chip giants were negligent, Wanhu's graphics cards have also been sold a lot, and the technology has begun to become more and more sophisticated.

Now Wanhu, after several years of technology research and development.

Basically, in the field of graphics display chips, as well as mobile chips, that is, handheld central processing, they have gradually reached the world-class level.

The most important thing is that most of the raw materials and components required for the entire production process can be procured domestically.

Wanhu has basically established a raw material supply system that can be used in China.

Wanhu is located at the top of the entire production chain system, engaged in the design part and R&D part that require the largest technology, while the relatively simple part of actual production is handed over to other enterprises for division of labor.

Such a complete system can be said to be very rare.

However, in the mainstream central processing and other fields, there is still a gap of about a generation with the world's first-line manufacturers, such as Intel and AMD.

Although it is not impossible to use the things produced, they can only be classified as second-tier manufacturers.

Moreover, even if the design and production of Wanhu's CPU can reach the world's first-class, the current mainstream X86 architecture compatible computer will not appear Wanhu's CPU.

Because, Wanhu did not join the X86 standards committee established by IBM and international business machines at the beginning.

Those who manufacture chips without joining this standards committee will be sued for infringement.

Of course, in China, a country where IBM has not applied for relevant patents, the relevant chips produced by 10,000 households can still be used.

However, if it is sold commercially, the price is too high. Probably only families above the middle class in first-tier cities can afford it.

And these families, often for them, the gap between 10,000 and 20,000 is not so big.

If you can buy a computer with 10,000 chips for 10,000 yuan, why not spend 20,000 yuan to buy the latest X86.

Of course, they really want the latest and best configuration, and the money spent may be more than 100,000 yuan.

Many of the foreign exchange that thousands of households have worked so hard to earn back have been consumed in this way.

As for the main place of X86 compatible machines produced by 10,000 households, in fact, it is still state organs and enterprises and institutions at all levels.

In these places, the use of computers for office work is obvious for efficiency improvement, foreign computers are expensive, but foreign currency is not good.

Compared with the gains and losses, the cheap X86 compatible machine on the side of Wanhu has become a good choice.

And Wanhu is not ambiguous here, although the computers that went to the government units did not have Wanhu's brand logo, but Wanhu used the best processor for them, as well as graphics processing chips, as well as operating systems that are not available in foreign countries.

Even more than foreign computer users, they have used the visual operating system earlier.

This is a boon for many middle-aged and elderly people in the office, as it seems that learning to type is much easier.

However, the role of the computer technician is much lower.

Although the existing computer technicians still make the best use of their resources, they operate the computer every day, and carry out some document entry and information aggregation.

But when it comes to recruiting new people, because they know how to use computers and because they can type, they lower the standard of other hiring, and there are many fewer things to do.

After all, this kind of graphical operating system is very simple and vivid, and you can remember it after watching it a few times.

Compared to the kind of computer that has to take a small notebook and type a large string of code when booting up, I don't know how high it is.
