Barrett had a hard face.

Pentium 3 also has a name called Tualatin.

The reason why it is called Tualatin comes from the fact that Intel invested in and built a large-scale production and R&D base between the Tualatin Valley and the Tualatin River in Oregon, USA. It is precisely because of this base that Intel occupies an absolute leading position.

Technical advantages.

Therefore, Intel named this third-generation Pentium series CPU Tualatin to commemorate their research and development base, and it is also a display of self-pride.

Naturally, this generation of CPU is absolutely different from the previous two generations. The performance is so superior that you can't believe that the next generation of Pentium 2 and Pentium 3's Tualatin are so powerful.

However, many directors are hesitant.

Just because it was too powerful, when it was launched like this, the market for Pentium 2 disappeared instantly.

There will be no market at all. So what do they do with so many Pentium 2 chips?

This is not like the previous transition from Pentium 1 to Pentium 2. This Pentium 1 can still sell a little, and as long as it is sold at a reduced price, some of the stocks can always be cleared. The gap between Pentium 2 and Tualatin is too big.

The gap between the two sides is even greater than the gap between Cycon and Pentium.

As soon as this is launched, it will completely destroy the Pentium 2 market in an instant. They had high hopes for the Pentium 2 before. They planned to sell it for another two or three years before replacing it with the Tualatin.

It is normal for a first-generation product to be sold for two or three years as long as there are no competitors. Otherwise, how could Intel get the nickname "Toothpaste Factory".

That's where the nickname came from.

But releasing Tualatin now would be a huge loss.

I'm afraid this loss will be calculated in units of 1 billion US dollars.

"Everyone, I understand your worries, but we must make the decision to cut off the wrists of a strong man. Otherwise, it is very likely that in the future we will cut off many wrists, but necks." Barrett said seriously, "We must immediately take out the

With absolute strength, we will completely sweep Loongson out of the market!" Barrett said.

"Barrett, we know what your worries are. But even so, with his absolute price advantage, I'm afraid he will still survive. Don't forget, he can support himself by borrowing huge loans from the Chinese government.

Not to mention, he also has two motherboards, Jiuzhou Yulu and Jiuzhou Thunder, which bring huge profits. Such profits are enough for him to sustain. By then, I am afraid that we will suffer huge economic losses, which will make it difficult for us to support.

"Some directors said worriedly.

This concern is not unreasonable.

Your production plans and scientific research plans are repeatedly broken, which is very fatal.

This means that before the huge capital you invested has been recovered, you will promote the next generation. If this continues, the company will be equivalent to having a financial black hole.

This black hole will swallow up all the company's funds.

Of course, for Tualatin now, it will bring huge benefits.

After all, when consumers see such a CPU with excellent performance, they will definitely choose to buy it. There is no doubt about this.

However, the problem is, what if Qin Feng launches a new CPU? The performance is not as good as it, but the price is extremely cheap?

So, you are launching a new generation of CPU?

If this continues over and over again, Intel's funds will not be able to sustain it.

This research and development consumes the most money.

For Intel, these billions of dollars in R&D funds every year are not spent in vain. This needs to be able to bring in profits, and it cannot always be like this, just after it has been launched for less than a year, it will be replaced.

I can't afford to replace it.

"I heard that Qin Feng bought their CPU technology from ATI. Although ATI's CPU technology is not as good as ours, they have made great progress. After integrating the two, Qin Feng

With the support of China's major banks, we are not fighting against a company, but a huge country with a population of 1.3 billion!" Moore said at this moment.

After hearing this, everyone was silent.

Compared to AMD, the scariest thing about Loongson is this. It relies on a huge market of 1.3 billion people.

It's too difficult for them to compete with them.

The other party can obtain almost unlimited loans and use money to buy the market. But they can't. They are a commercial company.

"Yes, the other party has a huge market. But no matter how huge the market is, it is the consumers themselves who ultimately decide everything. We let consumers vote with the money in their hands." Barrett's eyes flashed with soaring fighting spirit, "

We use technology to defeat their huge funds. What's more, everyone, as long as we make their CPU market completely defeated, as for the motherboard market, together with Nvidia, we can also defeat them. Plus there is Microsoft's operating system, that is enough for us to defeat

This cheating opponent!"

Many directors frowned.

"Are you going to compromise with Microsoft?" Moore frowned.

It turned out that the previous president, Grove, who was recovering from illness, had the biggest regret in his life that he was too inclined to Microsoft, which caused Intel to be constrained by Microsoft. The original win-tle alliance became more powerful, and Intel became a follower.

.

This has always been the biggest regret in Grove's life. Everyone knows that Grove wants to get rid of Microsoft's influence. But now, Barrett is about to surrender again.

this...

"It is difficult for our family to completely drive Loongson out of the market, which is backed by the Chinese market. Qin Feng is not as short-sighted as other Chinese people. He dares to use huge losses to seize the market, which proves that he is very optimistic about the development of the personal computer market. And he will

The purpose of bringing limited cable broadband technology to China is self-evident." Barrett said, "Everyone, we cannot hesitate, we must defeat Loongson as soon as possible. And this requires the support of Microsoft. As long as you agree, I will immediately go to and

Microsoft negotiated and signed a brand new cooperation plan. Of course, I can guarantee that although this plan will cause us to lose a little status, it will never lose our interests. Everyone, it’s time for us to abandon our so-called dignity.

, in business, what we want is profit, not so-called status."

"Everyone, let's vote!" Moore made a decision at this moment, "I agree to launch Tualatin and sign a new cooperation agreement with Microsoft."

Moore took the lead in voting, which gave all directors a direction.

Subsequently, many directors raised their hands and decided to proceed from interests.

Everything is just to expel Loongson from the market.

“We must not let bad money drive out good money,” President Barrett said forcefully.
