Improve the performance of Pentium, enhance the performance of Celeron and reduce the price.

This strategy is based on Inter's sufficient technical reserves. At the same time, it also represents a blow to Loongson, positioning it at the level of Celeron processors.

If you want to compare with Inter, it is far from worthy.

"But here, I hope the board of directors can approve that we launch the Pentium 2 generation!" Grove said.

"Pentium 2!" Many directors made slight movements.

In Inter's strategy, it is always about extracting the maximum value from a processor before launching a new generation of processors based on market prospects.

In Inter's original plan, the Pentium 2 generation was planned to be launched early next year. In this way, the Pentium 1 generation and the Pentium CPU integrated with the mmx instruction set could still make half a year's money.

Almost, just clear the inventory. This way you can maximize your profits.

But it would be too early to launch it now.

"Our Pentium 1 generation can actually suppress Loongson through overclocking! Our current external chips are mainly Pentium 200, but we can launch overclocked versions of 233, 266, or even 300." A director said.

In this way, it can surpass China Loongson in performance in an instant. In addition, after Celeron also integrates the mmx instruction set, the price is slightly reduced, and it can also pursue Loongson. With this front and back suppression, Loongson's life will be difficult.

"If we are purely pursuing processor frequency, I believe Loongson can do it. Theirs is a 0.18 micron process. I think their chip frequency can reach at least 500mhz under the 0.18 micron process. Although our Pentium 1st generation can also achieve that.

, but because the technology is not mature enough, if this frequency is reached, the CPU will be extremely unstable. This will affect the performance." Grove said, "So, we directly launched the second generation and used a new CPU architecture to beat the CPU.

Huaxia Loongson! This opponent must be killed. Otherwise, if it is allowed to develop, it will probably become our most troublesome enemy!"

Grove's attention made many directors feel that it was a bit of a fuss. After all, profit comes first. If you launch it in advance like this, the profit will be less.

"I agree!" This is what Gordon Moore said.

"Ah?" Many directors were surprised.

"China Loongson occupies China's big market. We must pay attention to it and suppress it this morning. Otherwise they will be more troublesome than AMD. Especially, the other party has the courage to break the price bottom line!" Gordon Moore said.

With the support of Gordon Moore, the entire resolution was quickly passed.

Subsequently, Inter announced that it will launch a new Pentium 2 generation processor: Klamath to the market at the end of the month.

A CPU with a minimum configuration of 233 frequency, and a maximum frequency of 333mhz. And next year, the Pentium 2 with a 100mhz bus will be launched, and its frequency can easily reach 450mhz.

At the same time, a new 0.28 micron process will be adopted. And, while continuing to retain the mmx instruction set, it will provide a 32kb first-level cache and a 512kb second-level cache.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Because this CPU is undoubtedly far superior to all current CPUs. In particular, the Pentium 2 generation not only has improved technology, but also provides a second-level cache. The emergence of this second-level cache will greatly improve the performance of the CPU.

It can be said that in the entire high-end CPU market, Inter has no rivals.

The Chinese Loongson 1 generation, which was originally comparable to the Pentium MMX 200, was now far behind.

There will be a huge difference in performance. Of course, at present, because it has not been launched yet, we don’t know how big the difference will be. However, the performance leadership is certain.

Subsequently, Inter also announced the news of Celeron processor upgrade.

The Celeron 2nd generation also uses a 0.28 micron process. Although it does not have a second-level cache, it has enhanced the mmx instruction set. And the price will be reduced to the 600 yuan range.

The current Celeron 1 generation is priced at 800 yuan. Now, the Celeron 2 generation has enhanced performance and the price is within 600 yuan. It has to be said that this is an impact on the current Chinese Loongson.

Major newspapers and magazines have reported on the news of Inter. At the same time, they all claimed: The strongest opponent of China Loongson is Celeron 2?

Originally, the outside world believed that China Loongson was a processor that could challenge Pentium. Now looking at Blue Screen, with Inter’s strong technical reserves, I am afraid that it can only challenge Celeron.

There is no way to compare with Pentium.

Of course, everything is unknown now. After all, the inter chip has not yet been launched.

No one knows what the data is.

We can only wait for its launch review.

But this time, Inter's action came too fast.

Just one week after the news was announced, major foreign evaluation rooms got their hands on the latest Pentium 2 and Celeron 2.

"Qin Feng, this is the latest review of Pentium 2 and Celeron 2!" Lei Jun hurriedly brought over the latest data.

Naturally, Qin Feng cannot get these latest CPUs. Not even the whole of China. Obviously, this is also a defensive measure by the Inter to prevent them from having countermeasures in advance.

Qin Feng took a look at the data and frowned.

Pentium 2, a CPU with level 2 cache and 0.28 micron process, integrates 7.5 million transistors. Its performance is at least doubled compared to the previous Pentium 1 generation mmx chip with the same frequency.

This gap is a bit big.

"Of course, the price is a bit high!" Lei Jun said, "This Pentium 2 CPU with L2 cache is priced as high as 5,300 yuan."

At 5,300 yuan, this price is even more outrageous.

Under the challenge of Loongson, this price is simply outrageous to the point of jaw-dropping.

This also shows that Inter does not pay attention to Loongson at all. And with its absolute performance advantage, it will crush you.

"What about Celeron 2?" Qin Feng asked.

"After adding the mmx instruction set and using a new process, the performance of Celeron 2 is almost the same as our CPU. Compared with our Loongson, there is only a 20% gap in integer performance, but the floating point computing capability

Almost." Lei Jun said, "And the price, compared with the prices on our market, is still a bit advantageous. After all, the SEG bosses sell it a bit more expensive."

"In terms of price, don't worry. We can ship the goods at 400 yuan, which is still cheaper than Biyan. The bosses of SEG don't understand the market!" Qin Feng said, "They won't blindly make money, especially with so much money.

People! It’s just that we are short on technology! Our technology is so poor!”

"Indeed! I suspect that there will be three or even four generations behind Inter. So what should we do now?" Lei Jun smiled bitterly.

"Do you think our challenge is too reckless?" Qin Feng asked.

Lei Jun nodded and shook his head.

"The power of Inter has always been here. If we don't challenge it, we will miss the opportunity. We have known this since we started making CPUs," Lei Jun said.
