Chapter 539: Head-on conflict? (Part 2)

"Mr. Thomas, I would like to ask everyone that the birth of a new product, even the birth of a new product like CPU, will take a long process, especially in the field of computer personal PCs, which is particularly important, because everyone knows whether the performance of this new product is outstanding, it does not mean that you can produce this new product, because it also requires the help of supporting manufacturers to officially face the market. Although I don't understand what the honeycomb architecture you just mentioned, is it the same as the existing CPU?" Thomas was so excited when he saw the reporter below, and finally signaled the host to click a reporter.

The reporter stood up and asked a very technical question directly. Thomas nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the appearance is different. But weren't the CPUs of Amd and Intel before the same? Our number of pins has always been different."

After the answer was finished, Thomas directly clicked on the next reporter, "Hello Mr. Thomas, I have similar questions to the gentleman just now. Since I have produced a new CPU, does it mean that Amd's previous CPU is not being produced? And has the new CPU been communicated with motherboard manufacturers? If the motherboard manufacturer does not receive notification in advance, will continue to produce the motherboard with the original structure of Amd, which will damage the interests of these manufacturers?"

The reporter asked several questions in one breath, and these questions were very sharp. Even Thomas thought that this guy was provoking it. It was not the only motherboard manufacturer. This happened too quickly. Although Amd notified these manufacturers about a few days ago, it was undoubtedly impossible for motherboard manufacturers to be in advance, and there must be losses in profits.

Although there must be amd CPUs on the market to survive, the problem is that your new CPUs are coming out, who will buy those backward versions of CPUs? This reporter is obviously giving Thomas eye drops, clearly trying to instigate the relationship between amd and these motherboard manufacturers.

After all, if you come out with a CPU, how can you promote it without the cooperation of these motherboard manufacturers? Isn’t the computer operated with just one CPU? Thomas sneered and admired his boss very much. These things have been considered before, so before the press conference, these contradictions have been resolved. So many motherboard manufacturers cannot say that they are profitable and not damaged. In fact, the damage is extremely limited.

But you just need to cooperate with the largest manufacturer. Anyway, consumers can buy things. I am afraid that these motherboard manufacturers will join forces to fight you. That is what is worrying. But now Asus, one of the largest motherboard manufacturers, has signed a contract with them, so Thomas naturally won’t be afraid of this. If other motherboard manufacturers do not want to harm their own interests, as long as the CPU sales keep up, they will naturally come to their door to produce them.

"We have communicated with these motherboard manufacturers. Of course, there are necessary losses, but I believe that the cooperation between us can still proceed normally." Thomas did not answer in detail, but just replied roughly. Then he continued: "Dear reporters, there is still new news to be announced next. I think this news can answer some of your doubts, so can I wait until I finish it?"

After saying this, Thomas ignored their reaction and continued: "Third, Amd has officially signed a contract with Asus and Lenovo. Because Asus is the only manufacturer authorized by StarDown Group to produce the unique wireless network card motherboard with StarDown Group, the first batch of motherboards that can use the new AMD CPU will be the motherboard with StarDown Group's unique wireless network card, of course, it is the only one for the time being. In addition, Amd's CPU will also launch the entire machine business with Lenovo and Asus."

The reporter below listened to a rough answer, but I didn’t hear anything in this third point. The motherboard with the unique wireless network card of Xingdian Group? What does this mean? Although this motherboard can only be equipped with the AMD CPU from Thomas’s words, the question is what does this mean? When I was testing globally before, I could log in to the Xingdian Group account for the global networking if I was not an ordinary computer and do global networking?

So what does this mean? These reporters couldn't figure it out for a moment, but Thomas didn't explain it, and he didn't even want to answer the question and walked off the rostrum. The subsequent press conference basically entered garbage time. Although a vice president came to answer the question instead of Thomas, the question was that whenever there was anything about the cooperation between Asus and Amd, the vice president directly changed the topic and did not answer the topic in detail at all.

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

But Paul and others understand that the decline in stocks has a completely impact on Amd. Don’t forget that Amd’s market value was only US$3 billion before, so what if it falls back? Moreover, Xingzhu Group is now absolutely holding, so the impact of the stock price on Amd is actually not as great as that on Intel and other companies that do not have absolutely holding.

So this has no impact at all, but what is going on? A new CPU will not be launched in half a year, and the cooperation with Asus is obviously expected to be launched in half a year. However, the motherboard with Starcrush Group wireless network card made Paul frown.

"Do you want to tie up customers? Use the new game under Blizzard Entertainment that Xingdian Group just acquired?" The person who was working was not just Paul, but also several senior vice presidents and several important shareholders. One of the senior vice presidents looked at the TV and suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly. The reason why he thought of this was because the senior vice president himself was a game fan. During the World of Warcraft game test of Xingdian Group, he also entered the game to play.

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

"Domingo, keep talking." Paul frowned slightly, then looked up at the senior vice president and asked.

"Well, that's right. You know that I'm a game fan, and I'm also playing World of Warcraft, so when World of Warcraft announced the global server test, I also participated. You don't know what a global server means for a fanatical game fan! And Starfall Group's technology is really amazing! That day was definitely a World of Warcraft carnival, with nearly 40 million players around the world spreading all maps of World of Warcraft. Can you imagine it?!" When Domingo said, his tone became a little excited.

"Domingo!" Paul shouted softly, glanced at the shareholders next to him with a slightly ugly face, especially Kanmore. Although the incident between Kanmore and Lulu had not been reported, Kanmore's recent mention of Xingdou Group was rising, and Paul naturally knew that Intel had reminded him when he went to Xingdou Group. But no matter what, it was obviously unwise for Domingo to say this at this time.

"Uh, that, I just want to tell you, for a game puzzle, what does such a game mean, but such a global server cannot operate World of Warcraft, because the map of World of Warcraft is too small! After so many players are accommodated, World of Warcraft maps are almost filled with players, and the new area cannot be like an old game area, with people of all levels. Players starting from new players will undoubtedly block the entire novice area, which will reduce gameplay. So Blizzard Entertainment is preparing to develop a new game for this kind of global server game. Of course, although this new game, Titan, is very mysterious now, I can guess that its map will undoubtedly be huge! More importantly, can you understand it?" Domingo said, pausing here.

Those who were doing it frowned. Although Domingo hadn't said the point, they probably heard that meaning. "Can you understand how obsessed with a game fan with such a super server game? They can sacrifice everything for this game! And in terms of personal PC, what do you think is the biggest consumer group? It is game players! If Titan Game is very good, then it is not a problem for Xingdou Group to use this game to get tens of millions of players! There are definitely tens of millions of players who are willing to replace their own CPU and motherboard for this game!" Domingo finally said the key point.

At this time, the people present looked solemn! Tens of millions of dollars! Although the shipment volume of tens of millions of dollars is nothing to a CPU, especially in the global market, the area is smaller! However, a new CPU can get tens of millions of dollars in a short period of time! Then when the performance of this CPU is not bad and the price is cheaper than that of oneself, then word of mouth, it will definitely get more orders!
