The board of directors of Intel and all the directors gathered together to discuss how to repress Chaowei Eagle Weida and change the market share back to the original.
They are not too demanding, just 80% market share. In the fourth quarter of last year, their share in the North American market was only 55 percent. How could this be done!
"Are we discussing with other c manufacturers, we are giving the same price for products with the same performance, but our quad-core cu is about to be developed successfully, and we now have triple-core cu. Tell them if we buy more Now with Core 2 dual-core processors, the future quad-core can also supply them with priority."
Some people have proposed a way to use future superior products to influence the current product sales, but this method should not be put on the table. But they can't continue to cut prices. Compared with the same period last year, their product prices have fallen by more than 40%, and the profit margin will be even lower.
Last year they were able to guarantee a net profit of 30%, but this year it will fall to 20%. This is because of the high profit of their motherboards, architecture solutions and other products.
If the market share falls again this year, even if they guarantee that the profit rate will not fall, the overall profit will stop growing, or even fall.
The global C market is developing rapidly, and the growth rate in the past two years is very surprising, especially the notebook business, which has the fastest growth rate.
Intel plans to launch more notebook cu and motherboard, in order to obtain higher profits. This part is definitely not as good as desktop sales, but it can have a higher profit margin.
It is a pity that this method just proposed was immediately rejected by another director.
"Did you forget Chaowei Eagle Weida's lawsuit with us? They accused us of improperly influencing Chaowei Eagle Weida's product sales and accused us of privately uniting with ati and trying to monopolize the market."
"If it wasn't for Chaowei Eagle Weida's market share, our argument would be more difficult. Now that we do this, don't we put the handle in front of each other?"
Chaowei and Intel have been in litigation for many years. Who made them the only two cu manufacturers remaining in the c market? At this time, they are also in a competitive relationship on graphics cards, sound cards and motherboards.
In fact, it is very common for competitors to sue, this is usually a strong accusation of weak infringement, a weak accusation of strong unfair competition, oligopoly or something.
In many lawsuits, the final solution is basically reconciliation. The two sides exchange ideas in private, exchange some benefits, and exchange a smile in front of the media.
In the beginning, Inter had reconciled with Chaowei, and now Chaowei became Chaowei Eagle Weida, and then stared at them. Jerry Sanders, the chairman of Chaowei Eagle Weida, is also the president of the American Semiconductor Association. As a member of Intel, many things can’t be concealed from each other, and some colleagues will leak some information to Chaowei Eagle Weida in exchange for Some conveniences of the association.
What makes Intel even more uncomfortable is that Chaowei Eagle Weida has occupied the Chinese market after having a share of Zhiduoxing. Intel's cu market share in North America fell to 55%, and in the China market, Intel's market share was only 45%!
Who asked Hua Xia's c leader to buy more CU, graphics cards and motherboards of Chaowei Eagle Weida? Even the Eastern European market, Chaowei Eagle Weida has also taken advantage of some of the advantages.
And Microsoft also supported Chaowei Eagle Weida, which made Intel very depressed. How close they had cooperated with Microsoft, and now they turned to Microsoft for the market of China, Eastern Europe, etc., and they glanced at their competitors.
"Have you forgotten, the news from our laboratory the day before yesterday, our quad-core architecture has achieved a breakthrough, and the dual-core architecture has also achieved technological breakthroughs, with our 65n technology, performance and cost are superior to Chaowei Eagle What do we have to worry about with the 90n product of Weida?"
"Directly announce that our quad-core cu will be released at the end of this year to tell all manufacturers and consumers that in the cu field, we are still king!"
In the past, Intel first announced the parameters of the Core 2 dual-core processor. Although it has not been officially listed, it has already received some consultations from some manufacturers, and even manufacturers have placed orders.
Intel believes that this high-performance dual-core processor will be at the top of dual-core technology to help them crush Super Weiying Weida again. But this is not enough, they also hope to have a better one, so they also do research and development of quad-core technology.
With the successful experience of dual-core, the research and development progress of quad-core is also very smooth, even if their factory has been completed, dual-core can be mass-produced this year, the performance of Core 2 is much stronger than last year's Pentium d, and also stronger than Chaowei Eagle Weida's dual-core processor.
Now they can just handle the Pentium series of processors at a low price, without asking how much money to make, anyway, they will occupy the market first, they will not lose money, but they can let Chaowei Eagle Weida's goods backlog.
Big companies play price wars with small companies, but small companies can't afford it. Although Chaowei Eagle Weida is not a small company anymore, its capital scale is far worse than that of Intel. Last year, net profit was negative.
"Okay, I think the words of Director Speights are very reasonable. Our quad-core architecture has been broken through, and the new dual-core architecture has been completed. Then let us surprise Chaowei Eagle Weida. At the same time, we increase our cooperation with ati , Let the other party suppress the gu business of Chaowei Eagle Weida together."
"The old fellow of Sanders wants to step on our Internet and they are on the head~EbookFREE.me~ They are dreaming! The scenery of k8 should also disappear, they also want to challenge us in the server field, but also in the industry The cu field is developing, they are too greedy."
"Before they bought several companies, it was clearly imitating our development path. They must not be allowed to succeed. We will go this way first, then others will not be able to go!"
Just when the chairman of Intel was talking and talking, his assistant suddenly slammed open the door of the conference room and rushed in.
"What's the situation? Will our quad-core architecture pass the test so soon? Or will another c vendor place an order for our Core 2?" What do you an assistant suddenly break into our board room? It must be major good news, right?
"Chairman, directors, you read the news and look at the industry news quickly. Chaowei Eagle Weida announced that their quad-core architecture k10 processor has been successfully developed and will be released for sale, and they will use 45n process production, they follow Treasure Island Co., Ltd. has cooperated."
what? !
All directors quickly looked at their smartphones and watched the news online. The surprise hasn't waited, the accident came first!
