Chapter 337: Intel's earth-shattering changes
It can be said that without Intel's assistance, the Sugon R&D Center would want to obtain the authorization of the X86-64 processor architecture.
That is also to come up with very important black technology and . Company D exchanges authorizations, and the loss will only be the Sugon R&D Center.
So this time it was really a surprise, Lin Chen should really give Intel a best assist award.
……
"Damn it!"
After learning the result, Intel President Barrett cursed, and he also regretted that he wanted to vomit blood, feeling that he might not have withdrawn the patent authorization in the first place.
He completely overestimated Chen Wenqi's psychological endurance and ambition of Weisheng Electronics, but he didn't expect that Weisheng Electronics couldn't bear the pressure and sold it directly at a fracture price, which made people vomit blood.
However, when Barrett, the president of Intel, was depressed and regretful, he didn't know that a crisis was quietly coming to him!
On the third day of Sugon's R&D Center's acquisition of Weisheng Electronics' CPU and graphics card business, Intel's majority shareholder held a board meeting, and when Barrett thought it was an ordinary board meeting.
Paul Oudening, who has been hiding and not revealing his true ambitions, actually shot him directly.
He presented a series of evidentiary materials at the shareholders' meeting and criticized him as useless.
With sharp words like knives and solid evidence, he pointed out the fact that he is only suitable for technical management, and is not suitable for being the head of Intel.
This Paul Oudening's words and evidence are quite sharp, and they directly made Barrett, the 65-year-old head of Intel, so angry that he was close to fainting.
But no matter how angry Barrett was, he couldn't refute anything, because every accusation on the other side was true.
For example, Paul Odenet accused Intel of letting in under the leadership of Barrett. Company D has risen.
Also let. At one point, D's market share was as high as 25%, which was simply the biggest shame in Intel's history.
Another example is Paul Oudening's accusation that Barrett made serious mistakes in the matter of Sugon Technology and Weisheng Electronics, which led to Sugon Technology acquiring Weisheng Electronics at a lower price.
It has made Sugon Technology the world's third largest processor manufacturer, and will seriously threaten Intel and other accusations in the future.
After this sharp accusation and solid evidence, the shareholders and board members at the scene really felt that Barrett was indeed the worst president in Intel's history.
Under his leadership, Intel did suffer the biggest Waterloo of all time.
Also let the second of 10,000 years. Company D's market share was as high as 25% at one point, and under his leadership, Intel's performance and profits were getting worse and worse.
In the end, in the case of Weisheng Electronics, the final outcome is indeed quite bad, although it is estimated that the result is similar if someone else else estimates it.
But no one can deny that if Intel does not revoke the authorization of Weisheng Electronics to provide SSE3 instruction set and hyper-threading technology, then Weisheng Electronics may not sell the CPU and graphics card business to Sugon R&D Center!
In addition, many of the mistakes made by Barrett during his time in power have been overturned, under the evidence and sharp words.
Intel's board members also ushered in a big change in their views on Barrett, and they looked at Barrett with deep questioning.
Seeing this, Barrett, the current president of Intel, also knows that he is completely finished, and if he loses the trust of the board of directors, he will not be able to continue to serve as president!
Thinking of this, Barrett looked at Paul Oudening's eyes full of anger and resentment.
He was going to retire next year, but this damn guy did it!
Not to mention that his plan to retire in peace was completely disrupted, and it was also possible that he would become the first president in Intel's history to be forcibly fired by the board of directors, which is absolutely unacceptable!
Thinking of this, Barrett decided to try to struggle a little, even though he was quite angry, so he spoke slowly:
"I have worked hard for so many years without merit, and I just want to be able to quit Intel in peace, not to be forcibly dismissed."
Hearing this, the shareholders of the board of directors looked at each other, and finally they agreed to Barrett's request.
After all, if he is forcibly dismissed, then Intel's reputation will indeed suffer a certain amount of damage and criticism no matter what.
On the contrary, if Barrett was allowed to resign on his own, the final result would not change, and both sides would have a good face, so they agreed to Barrett's request.
"If you don't understand technology, you will eventually lead Intel to destruction."
After the board ended, looking at Paul Odening, who was looking at him with a smug smile, Barrett slowly spoke his opinion.
In this board of directors, Paul Oudening is the undisputed winner.
Not only did he succeed in bringing down Barrett, the current president of Intel, but he also earned the trust of his shareholders.
After all, he not only pointed out Barrett's mistakes, but also pointed out through words what would have happened if he had done it.
With the benefit of this matter, shareholders naturally have a lot of trust in him, and it is conceivable that after his resignation, the next president will be Paul Oudening.
"I'm going to be the president of Intel, and it doesn't matter if I understand technology or not.
Understanding technology is what R&D people should do, and my mission is to make Intel greater. ”
Paul Oudening slowly spoke his mind.
At this time, he was very confident and arrogant, as if if he was in Barrett's situation, then he would play countless times better than Barrett.
Seeing this, the 65-year-old Barrett looked deeply at Paul Oudening and then stopped talking, but he was worried about Intel's future.
However, thinking of the Core processor that has been developed, the worry in Barrett's eyes has been alleviated.
After all, if nothing else, the Core processor that has been developed with all its might should be enough to suppress the future of Dawning Technology and . Company D.
That Core processor is what he wants to prevent from happening again . D Rise event, especially the new generation of processor architecture that has invested heavily in research and development.
Therefore, Barrett is interested in whether the Core processor can beat Dawning Technology in the future. Company D is also quite confident.
In this regard, Paul Oudening, who left with a smug smile on his face at this time, did not know what Barrett was thinking, and did not know that the old man was already thinking about the future of Intel in a few years or even a decade.
It can only be said that young people have the advantages of young people, and old people also have the advantages of old people.
Of course, no matter what Barrett was thinking, it was a foregone conclusion that Barrett would be forced to leave Intel and that Paul Oudening would become the new president of Intel.
So less than a week later, when Sugon Technology was holding back its efforts to develop semiconductor production equipment and core technologies such as CPU processors and graphics cards.
Intel completed a series of procedures for the departure of the old president and the appointment of the new president, and then the new president Paul Oudening held a press conference that is destined to affect the future of global semiconductors.
