The shares of Chaowei Semiconductor and Eagle Weida were suspended at the same time because they announced that the two semiconductor companies would merge.
After the news broke out, it caused an instant shock in the industry.
The company that previously worked on both CPU and graphics card was Intel, with annual sales of 20-30 billion yuan and a net profit of several billion dollars.
Other companies do CPUs and graphics cards, but no one can match Intel.
Now there is finally another company that does both CPU and graphics card. This is obviously to grab food from the Internet and how many people are waiting to watch the show.
In the field of CPU, Intel currently occupies more than 80% of the market share, which was as high as 90%. In the field of graphics cards, Intel also holds a 65% market share, ATI accounts for 20%, and Eagle Weida accounts for about 15%.
In fact, some companies also have graphics cards, but the market share is not worth mentioning.
The industry's second CPU manufacturer and the industry's third graphics card manufacturer merge, which is likely to bring about changes in the industry as a whole.
In the 1980s, Chaowei was able to break the wrist with Inter, but unfortunately it was technically backward, which led to a decline in orders and failed to seize the opportunity. It was snatched away by the market.
Now Chaowei is not Intel's opponent at all, and Eagle Weida is not Intel's opponent, but Eagle Weida is the fastest-growing graphics card company, and the industry has won numerous awards.
In fact, last year, Chaowei and Eagle Weida jointly launched some interface standards, which has already attracted the attention of the industry. They know that both companies have a director of Huaxia Zhang Yang, and it is likely that the director of Huaxia contributed to the cooperation between the two companies.
But at first it was just cooperation, and everyone did not care too much. Intel is also focused on dealing with Transmeta, an emerging CPU manufacturer, and let ATI deal with Eagle Weida.
As a result, ATI has not been able to suppress Eagle Weida. Instead, it has allowed Eagle Weida to rise faster and faster. Last year, it even shouted an export number. This year it will become the world's largest independent manufacturer, surpassing ATI.
The advantage of is that its dependence on CPU is relatively low, which can improve PC performance better, especially for some gamers.
Nowadays, there are more and more people who use computers to play games. Just like the Internet cafes in China, most of them have replaced the independent display of Eagle Weida. RAM.
……
Craig Barrett, Intel’s director and CEO, and Jerry Sanders’ old rival Andy Grove, while still serving as Intel’s board director, is actually not very good Manage the company's business.
At this time, Craig was holding an emergency executive meeting. The merger of Chaowei and Yingweida was too sudden. There was no wind before, so they were not prepared at all.
Although the merger is said to take several months, if the two companies give up some details, the merger can be completed in the first quarter.
Chaowei and Eagle Weida did not drop their share prices in this stock market crash. Now that their stocks are suspended from trading, they can escape some stock market crashes.
By the time they resume trading, perhaps the stock market disaster is over, and their shareholders are equivalent to making a fortune.
The greater significance of the merger is not to increase the stock price, but to complement the technology.
The reason why Intel can become the leader of the graphics card industry is because they are the leader of the CPU industry. When others buy his CPU, he will also provide the graphics card. And his CPU and graphics card can optimize performance each other, so it looks good and cheap.
Now Chaowei has done the same, which will seriously affect Intel's industry status.
In the 1990s, after opening a gap with other manufacturers and dominating the market, it has never been afraid of challenges. No one can fight anyway.
Although I was a little nervous this time, I was not afraid. Chaowei and Eagle Weida are both defeated men. Will the two defeated teams think they can succeed?
If things are really that simple, why didn't Chaowei cooperate with other graphics card manufacturers? Or why don't those graphics card manufacturers seek cooperation from other CPU manufacturers?
"Everyone, you should also know the news of the merger of Chaowei and Eagle Weida. We will be greatly challenged this year. On the one hand, the economic downturn has caused people's purchasing power to decline, and the other is competition from other companies."
"Chaowei is our old opponent. Like Mr. Grove, he was a company that he founded from Fairchild Semiconductor."
"But we, Intel, respect everyone and let everyone have the opportunity to show their strengths, and Chaowei is completely shrouded in the shadow of Sanders."
"This is also why we are able to become the industry hegemon, Chaowei has been losing money year after year, and only after the Zhiduoxing Group invested, it turned into a profit."
"A lot of people said that when Zhiduoxing came to consult to buy shares, if we agreed, or stabilized each other and sought cooperation, then Chaowei had no chance to rise."
"Because Chaowei's newly-increased China and Eastern Europe markets were all obtained by Zhiduoxing Group, and Chaowei's cooperation with several other semiconductor companies was also promoted by Zhiduoxing Group."
"But do we need someone to introduce business to Intel? We can open the Chinese and Eastern European markets ourselves, and no one can stop it~EbookFREE.me~ Eagle Weida is the fastest-growing semiconductor company in recent years, Not counting that Transmeta, which has already begun to go downhill, it is hyped, and the technology is very general."
"The merger of the two companies is to imitate us, optimize on the CPU and GPU, improve each other's performance and enhance expressiveness."
"But our industry status cannot be shaken. The two companies united and it is difficult to be intimate in a short period of time. At this time, we beat it."
"Think about it, if we cooperate with ATI and only attack the graphics card business of Eagle Weida, what will Chaowei do? Is it sullen to continue to develop our own, or mobilize funds to find a way to keep Eagle Weida's business?"
"The former will cause the executives to centrifuge, and the merger of the two companies will become a joke. Not only can they not promote each other, but also drag on each other."
"If it is the latter, it would be even better. Without funds, how would Chaowei develop? With Eagle Weida, there is not much profit in a year."
"Among competitors in the industry, I think one is enough. Eagle Weida and ATI can only leave one, not more. I think the two of them must think so."
"In fact, I also contacted ATI just now, and they are willing to cooperate with us temporarily to deal with Chaowei Eagle Weida."
"My idea is to use billions of dollars in promotional funds and promotional funds to fight Eagle Weida, draining their funds, and making their merger more troublesome."
"If their merger fails, it will become a joke in the industry!"
