"It's enough to be stronger than the core graphics of Intel I3 and I5." Wang Yixiao said: "At that time, it will be integrated into X3400 and X5400 for core graphics."

Yu Longxing nodded: "Okay, there is another team that is developing high-performance graphics cards RTX 960."

"Even if you can't beat the high-end graphics cards such as GTX 970 and 980 that Nvidia will release in the second half of this year, you will have to catch up with the mid-range graphics cards GTX 960 released next year!"

"Okay, it's great to catch up with the GTX 960!"

Wang Yi will not give unrealistic goals to the graphics card department.

Interestingly, Yu Longxing’s graphics card naming rules are also referenced to the graphics card leader Nvidia.

Nvidia has not yet launched ray tracing and has not started to enable "RTX". Instead, it is using GT to represent entry-level graphics cards and GTX to represent high-end graphics cards.

So Yu Longxing also named it after "RT" and "RTX", and accidentally snatched Nvidia's future RT and RTX.

This is fun.

"When will the RTX 960 be handled?" Wang Yi asked.

"According to the current progress, it is expected to be leaked in December."

"Slow, too slow." Wang Yi waved his hand:

"According to customary practice, NVIDIA's GTX 960 will be released in January next year. Our RTX 960 will be completed in December. When it is launched, it will have to be next February or even March. This is too slow. By then, it will not be a match for NVIDIA's GTX 960 at all."

With similar performance, even if Xingyi Technology's RTX 960 is cheaper, users prefer Nvidia's GTX 960.

A new graphics card brand and a super overlord of graphics card are incomparable.

"Our only way out is to go public two or three months ahead of NVIDIA GTX 960. Only before the GTX 960 was released and before it was launched, our RTX 960 was successfully released and launched. Only in this way can we grab a large number of mid-range graphics card orders."

"If we wait until January next year, the Nvidia GTX 960 will be released, we are really not doing anything."

Yu Longxing understood Wang Yi’s plan, and this was a time difference.

The RTX 960 cannot beat the GTX 970 and GTX 980 released in September, but can rely on its price advantages and cost-effectiveness to win the mid-range market before the release of the GTX 960!

This is indeed the only opportunity!

Yu Longxing was a little embarrassed: "It is indeed the only way out, but according to the current progress, it is difficult to advance and there is not enough manpower."

"If there is not enough manpower, then increase manpower!" Wang Yi made a quick decision:

"Yu Longxing, you divided the R&D team of RT 630 into two, and a small number of people stayed behind. Continue to upgrade the RT 630. In this way, integrating it into the CPU for core graphics should be able to benchmark or even surpass the fourth generation of I7 core graphics."

"All others have been incorporated into the mid-range graphics card R&D team, and they are fully committed to promoting R&D speed, striving to ensure that RTX 960 can be used in advance and be launched in advance!"

The RT 630 has been upgraded. Although it is only comparable to Nvidia's entry-level independent GT 640 in 2012, it is enough to use a core graphics card.

Such configuration, watching videos, listening to music, playing CF, and LOL is perfect.

As for the 3A masterpiece, don’t think about it.

But if you can make a dessert mid-range graphics card comparable to the GTX 960, there will be no problem.

As for high-end graphics cards comparable to GTX 980, it would be difficult.

But it's okay, you have to eat at a sip and walk step by step.

Let’s get the mid-range graphics card done first!

"This is OK!" Yu Longxing responded decisively, and this is the best arrangement: "With these people joining, RTX 960 may be able to release the film in September and be launched in November."

‘Is November? It’s still too slow.’ Wang Yi said in his heart.

Nvidia GTX 960 was launched in January, and Xingyi Technology's RTX 960 was launched in November. It was only two months away, and it was not enough, so it couldn't sell much at all.

And many people will give up buying in order to wait for Nvidia.

In response, Wang Yi looked at Yu Longxing:

"Although the first graphics card RT 630 of the graphics card team is not very successful, it is still worth encouraging. In this way, the graphics card team has been officially upgraded to the graphics card department, with all the standards and benefits improved. The staffing needs to be all increased!"

"???" Yu Longxing was stunned.

RT 630 did such a bad job. Today he thought he would be scolded.

As a result, Wang Yi not only did not scold him, but also comforted him and encouraged him, but also upgraded the graphics card team to the graphics card department!

This is equivalent to a shotgun replacement.

Last year, the graphics card department was not established, with only some employees of S3 recruiting some engineers to build two graphics card teams.

One is responsible for entry-level independent graphics RT 630.

A mid-range graphics card RTX 960!

In comparison, Williams' CPU department has many soldiers and many generals.

Five lines and five R&D teams were opened at one time.

Benchmarking the one of I3, the one of I5, and the one of i7.

In addition, there are two server chip R&D production lines, both high and low!

Comparison between the two, the difference is immediately judged.

This is the difference between a team and a department.

But now, Wang Yi has also upgraded the graphics card research and development team to the graphics card department.

All treatment, manpower and resources have been improved!

"Chairman, thank you, I will do my best to get the RTX 960 out as soon as possible!" Yu Longxing said with a smile.

Wang Yi nodded: "After the New Year, we will recruit a large number of soldiers to increase the team's manpower and strength, as well as product lines. Not only will the mid-range graphics card RTX 960 be fully developed, but high-end graphics cards must also be laid out!"

"Okay, Chairman, I will make every effort to advance. After recruiting troops, the R&D speed will definitely be greatly improved. I will issue a military order, and RTX 960 will strive to be released in July and will be launched in September!"

"Okay!" Wang Yixi raised his eyebrows and waited for this sentence!

In September, Nvidia will release a new generation of high-end graphics cards, GTX 970,980.

Although it is very powerful, it is also very expensive.

As for the dessert graphics card GTX 960, it will be next January.

There is no way. If you release the dessert GTX 960 together in September, you will buy 960, and then the GTX 970 and GTX 980 will not be sold anymore.

On the contrary, you can only sell expensive high-end graphics cards first and make a lot of money. The subsequent price is too expensive to sell, and then you can produce a dessert mid-range card GTX 960.

Lao Huang's sword techniques and abacus have always been very accurate.

Unexpectedly, he met his nemesis!

Nvidia is afraid of delaying the sales of GTX 970 and 980, so she doesn't want to release the GTX 960 as soon as possible, but Wang Yi is not afraid.

Lao Huang doesn’t publish it, Wang Yi will publish it to him!

Even the time is similar.

It's all in September.

That’s right, as soon as Lao Huang released the GTX 970 and 980, Wang Yi will release the RTX 960 directly!

Although the performance is a little weak, the price is very good.

The simplest thing is, everyone knows that the GTX 970 is more powerful, but it costs 2499.

The performance of Xingyi Technology's RTX 960 is slightly worse, only 1499 or even 1299!

How do you choose a user?

Most people will choose RTX 960.

After all, many people have not had a high budget for assembling desktops these days.

With the monitor, the total budget for the full set is only 4,000 or 5,000 yuan, which is the choice of most people.

There are still many budgets below 4,000. As for 7,000 to 10,000, it is only a few.

In this way, the proportion of users with a graphics card budget of 1,000-1,500 is more than 60%, or even 70%.

At this price, you can only buy NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti, which is definitely not as good as Xingyi Technology's RTX 960.

This is also an opportunity for Xingyi graphics card to grow bigger.

Wang Yi thought about this and began to recall it carefully.

Recalling the performance changes of these generations of graphics cards.

From 2014 to 2015, Wang Yi was in junior year to senior year and graduated from university in July 2015.

In addition, I was a computer professional in my previous life, and I am very familiar with the performance of these graphics cards.

At that time, I could say that I knew it well and remembered it like a stream.

Even if students can't afford the GTX 980, the parameters are clear.

Now decades have passed, and my memory has faded a little.

I can't remember the specific ones, but I can still remember the general performance gap.

Wang Yi kept recalling, and suddenly his expression became very exciting.
