Chapter 539 Frontal Conflict? (below)

"Mr. Thomas, as we all know, the birth of a new product, even the birth of a new CPU, needs to go through a long process, especially in the field of computer personal PC, this is particularly important, because we all know that the performance of this new product is not outstanding, it does not mean that you can produce this new product, because it also needs the help of supporting manufacturers to officially face the market. I don't understand what kind of architecture you just talked about, Mr. Thomas, but is it the same as the existing CPU? Thomas was so excited to see the reporter below, and finally motioned for the host to order a reporter to come out.

The reporter stood up and directly asked a very technical question, Thomas nodded slightly: "Indeed, the appearance is not the same." But wasn't the CPU of AMD and intel different before? The number of stitches we have always had is different. ”

After answering, Thomas directly clicked on the next reporter, "Hello Mr. Thomas, I have the same question as the gentleman just now, since the new CPU has been produced, does it mean that AMD's previous CPUs are not in production?" If the motherboard manufacturer does not get notice in advance, will it damage the interests of these manufacturers if they continue to produce AMD's original motherboard? ”

The reporter asked several questions in one breath, and these questions were very sharp, and even Thomas felt that this guy was provoking, and the motherboard manufacturer was not the only ASUS, and this happened too quickly, although AMD probably notified these manufacturers a few days ago. However, it is undoubtedly impossible for motherboard manufacturers to advance the future, and there will definitely be damage to interests.

Although there are definitely AMD CPUs on the market that are still alive, the question is, your new CPUs are coming out, and who will buy those outdated versions of CPUs? This reporter is obviously giving Thomas eye medicine, making it clear that he wants to instigate the relationship between AMD and these motherboard manufacturers.

After all, if your CPU comes out, how can you implement it if you don't have the cooperation of these motherboard manufacturers? Isn't it possible to operate a computer with only one CPU? Thomas sneered, and at the same time admired his boss. These things have been considered before, so before the press conference, these contradictions have already been resolved, so many motherboard manufacturers, it is impossible to say that a profit is not damaged. In fact, the damage is very limited.

But as long as you cooperate with one of the largest manufacturers, consumers can buy what they can buy anyway. I'm afraid that these motherboard manufacturers will unite against you. That's what worries people, but now that one of the largest motherboard manufacturers ASUS has signed a contract with them, Thomas is naturally not afraid of this, and other motherboard manufacturers, if they don't want to harm their own interests, as long as CPU sales keep up. Naturally, they will come to the door to produce it themselves.

"We have communicated with these motherboard manufacturers, of course, there are necessary losses, but I believe that the cooperation between us can still be carried out normally." Thomas didn't answer in detail, but only gave a general answer. Then he continued: "Fellow journalists, there is new news to announce next, and I think this news can answer some of your doubts, so is it okay to wait until I finish speaking?" ”

After saying this, Thomas didn't care about their reactions, and continued: "Third, AMD has officially signed a contract with ASUS and Lenovo, because ASUS is the only manufacturer authorized by Starfall Group to produce motherboards with Starfall Group's unique wireless network card, so the first batch of motherboards that can use AMD's new CPU will be motherboards with Starfall Group's unique wireless network card, of course, the only one for the time being. In addition, AMD's CPU will also launch a complete machine business with Lenovo and Asus. ”

The reporter below listened to a rough idea, but he didn't hear anything in this third point, the motherboard with the unique wireless network card of the Starfall Group? What does this mean? Although this motherboard can only be equipped with AMD CPUs from Thomas's words, the question is what exactly does this mean? During the previous global test, wasn't it possible for an ordinary computer to log in to the account of Starfall Group and conduct global networking?

So what does this mean? These reporters couldn't figure it out for a while, but Thomas didn't explain, and walked off the rostrum without even answering the question, and then the press conference basically entered garbage time, although a vice president came up to answer questions instead of Thomas, the problem is that everything about the cooperation between ASUS and AMD, this vice president directly changed the topic, and did not answer in detail about this topic at all.

At Intel headquarters, Paul and others were naturally watching this press conference, but after reading it, Paul and others couldn't figure it out, "What does this mean?" "Paul and the others are a little confused, this is AMD's move? If that's all there is to it, then this move will not have any impact on AMD's situation for the time being, and of course, AMD's stock may fall.

But Paul and others understand that the stock decline has no impact on AMD at all, don't forget, AMD's market value was only $3 billion before, even if it fell back? Moreover, Starfall Group is now an absolute controlling shareholder, so the impact of the stock price on AMD is actually not as great as the impact on companies such as Intel, which do not have absolute control.

So this doesn't have an impact at all, but what's going on? A new CPU will not be launched until half a year later, and the cooperation with ASUS is obviously estimated to be launched in half a year, but the motherboard with the Starfall Group wireless network card made Paul's brows furrow.

"Do you want to tie up customers? What about taking advantage of the new game from Blizzard Entertainment, which Starfall Group just acquired? "The person who is doing it is not only a Paul, but also several senior vice presidents, as well as several important shareholders, one of the senior vice presidents looked at the TV, suddenly thought of something, and quickly said, the reason why he thought of this is because this senior vice president himself is also a game fan, and when the Star Fall Group's Warcraft World World game test was tested, he also entered the game to play.

"Huh?" The senior vice president's words made everyone slightly stunned, and everyone immediately thought about this matter, and Paul was no exception.

"Domino, you go on." Paul frowned slightly, then looked up at the senior vice president and asked.

"Well, that's right, you also know that I'm a game fan, and I'm also playing Warcraft World, so when the World of Warcraft announced the global server test, I also went to participate in it, and you don't know what a global server means for an avid game fan! And the skills of the Starfall Group are really amazing! That day was definitely a carnival in the World of Warcraft, with nearly 40 million players around the world covering almost all the maps of the World of Warcraft, can you imagine?! When Domino spoke, his tone became a little agitated.

"Domino!" Paul snorted and glanced at several shareholders next to him with slightly ugly faces, especially Canmore, although what happened between Canmore and Lulu did not come out, but Canmore's recent mention of the Starfall Group's anger was rising, Paul naturally knew the truth, in fact, Intel went to the Starfall Group to remind Domino, but anyway, it was obviously unwise for Domino to say these at this time.

"Well, well, I just wanted to tell you what such a game means for a game mystery, but there is no way to operate Warcraft on such a global server, because the map of Warcraft is too small! After so many players are accommodated, the map of the World of Warcraft is almost full of players, and the new area cannot be like the old game area, there are people of all levels, and players starting from newcomers will undoubtedly block the entire novice area, which will reduce the gameplay, so Blizzard Entertainment is ready to develop a new game, suitable for this kind of global server game, of course, although this new game, Titan, is now very mysterious, but I can guess that its map will undoubtedly be huge! More importantly, can you understand? Domino paused here.

The people who were doing it all frowned, and although Domino hadn't gotten to the point yet, they probably understood a little bit of meaning, "Can you understand how obsessed a game fan is with a super server game like this?" They can sacrifice everything for the sake of this game! And when it comes to personal PCs, what do you think is the biggest consumer group? It's the gamer! If the Titan game is very good, then it is not a problem for the Starfall Group to use this game to get tens of millions of players! There are definitely tens of millions of players who are willing to change their CPUs and motherboards for this game! Domino finally got to the point.

At this time, the faces of the people present were all solemn! Millions! Although tens of millions of units are shipped to a CPU, especially in the global market, the area is even smaller! But a new CPU can get tens of millions of sales in a short period of time! So when the performance of this CPU is not bad and the price is cheaper than on its side, then word of mouth, it will definitely get more orders!

At present, the annual profit of global PC CPU sales is about 60 billion US dollars, which is a profit, and among them, intel's market share has reached more than 80 percent, and AMD is just a dozen percent, the market is so big, if AMD's market share increases, and there is no doubt that intel's market share will decrease, which is a fatal blow to intel.
