"Qin Feng wants to integrate the GPU into the CPU. Is this possible?" Many directors looked at each other.

This technology is not simple.

"In terms of integration, it is not difficult!" Moore adjusted his glasses. "Technically speaking, although it is cumbersome, it can be done as long as the process is upgraded. However, the performance improvement brought by such integration is very limited.

After all, the CPU is just that big, and if you add a GPU, the performance won’t be that great!”

"At most it's an entry-level graphics card performance!" said someone from the technical department.

Everyone discussed and discussed, and felt that Qin Feng's strategy was not very powerful.

Of course, no one took it lightly.

After all, although Qin Feng did not pose much of a threat, he was very annoying and cost them a lot of money.

"So, he will never be allowed to acquire NVIDIA. Of course, NVIDIA also refused directly. After all, it cooperates with Microsoft, and Microsoft and we have a cooperative relationship!" Barrett said.

"And this brings us back to the second question, the cooperative relationship with Microsoft!" Barrett said, "How will we cooperate with Microsoft in the future?"

Although Intel and Microsoft created the win-tel alliance, they dominated the personal computer era.

However, there are also rifts in the cooperation between the two parties.

In 1978, 23-year-old Bill Gates met Grove, who was already the president of Intel, for the first time. The two parties discussed some future developments in the IT world.

But at this time, although Bill Gates had founded Microsoft, it was only a small company with 11 people and was unknown. Intel, on the other hand, was a large company with more than 10,000 employees, and it was also a multinational enterprise.

There is a huge disparity in status between the two sides.

At first, the two of them had many similar views, so they chose to have dinner together.

But during the dinner, the two parties had many different views, which led to a quarrel. According to the memories of some service staff in the restaurant, the two parties were so quarrelsome that even the people in the kitchen were alarmed.

In the end, the food in front of Bill Gates did not move at all, and he was completely exhausted, and finally walked away.

Grove, on the other hand, slowly finished his portion of the set meal and finally left calmly.

Obviously, those so-called successful sales masters who say that successful people are innately well-educated are all nonsense.

The so-called aura, demeanor, wisdom, etc. all depend on your identity.

Successful people like Bill Gates, who has occupied the title of the world's richest man for many years, sometimes became so angry that he couldn't even eat because of the disparity in status, and finally walked away.

If the two sides had another quarrel now, Bill Gates would definitely finish the meal in front of him with a smile on his face.

Because the status is different. With status, you can have magnanimity.

This is just like why in society, some people who are not wealthy are more keen on buying famous brand bags, not only to satisfy personal vanity, but also as a way to fill up their own lack of confidence through luxury goods.

Those rich people, such as the landlords in Lion City, walk around in slippers and big pants all day long. They are just as confident without wearing famous brands. That is because they can spend money to buy a bunch of bags at any time, so they are very confident.

confidence.

They don't need designer bags to decorate themselves, because the many keys in their hands are the best decorations. On the contrary, without these keys, without so many apartments, and running around for three meals a day, would they still be so confident and calm?

Today, the positions of Intel and Microsoft have begun to reverse.

So, how does Intel handle its relationship with Microsoft?

After all, the relationship between the two parties has been very unharmonious over the years, and they have only maintained close cooperation for the sake of common interests.

For example, the compilers of Intel's programmers are always streamlined, clever, simple and efficient. On the contrary, Microsoft's programs are always full of errors and have low execution efficiency. Intel's compilers are always two or three times faster than Microsoft's.

Intel has been internally ridiculing Microsoft programmers, not because of low ability, but because of low morals. Because this is a matter of professional ethics and quality, as a programmer, you should come up with efficient and simple programs. To make such a program, that is

Professional ethics issues.

At one time, Intel programmers also gave suggestions to Microsoft programmers on some of their Excel codes. They believed that after modification, the efficiency of their programs could be increased by more than 8 times.

However, this kind of proposal was dismissed by Microsoft programmers. They thought that it was just a trick for someone who made CPUs to give advice to those who made software.

It can be said that programmers on both sides have despised each other for many years and looked down on each other.

However, due to mutual benefit, both parties have always maintained external harmony.

But Intel, led by Grove, has relied heavily on Microsoft.

This also became Grove's biggest regret in his life.

The kid who was so angry with himself that he walked away because of his disagreement with his ideas and couldn't even take a bite of food has grown into Optimus Prime. Intel, on the other hand, has declined.

"What should we do?" Barrett asked.

Many directors remained silent this time.

This matter is very serious, and if you are not careful, it may cause a violent shock.

For now, Intel is even more vulnerable.

At this time, Moore took out a document.

"At the beginning, we wanted to launch NSP technology (native signal processing technology), but this would have an impact on Microsoft's software standard architecture. They were worried that we would impact their status, so they publicly opposed NSP and threatened us many times.

.Ultimately, we chose to give up." Moore said.

Many directors exclaimed, never expecting such a thing to happen.

Although everyone is a director, there are many executive directors who are not clear about some things.

"Perhaps from that moment on, Grove was reviewing his previous attitude towards Microsoft," Moore said, "and he also formulated a plan to target Microsoft and us!" Moore said.

This sounds convoluted, but to put it simply, if Microsoft targets Intel, then Intel must take countermeasures.

Moore handed the documents to everyone.

This countermeasure plan is for Intel to use its position among OEM manufacturers to develop or acquire a system, and then use its position to let those OEM manufacturers pre-install their systems.

Then, Intel can sell CPUs for $100 and systems for $1. This will impact Microsoft's position.

After all, at this stage, major OEM manufacturers, while purchasing Intel CPUs, also spend money to purchase Microsoft operating systems.

And both are not cheap. If you can install a system for $1, Intel's status is not impossible to change the attitude of major software vendors.
