Chapter 48 Some changes
Wanhu's usual strategy is to avoid its edge and not compete for markets that are already under control.
From release to release, the graphics card did not cause too many people to panic. For example, Intel has integrated the overlords of the chaotic processor market, and has not taken the appearance of graphics cards too seriously.
Intel's leadership believes that graphics cards are the same as sound cards, but are just some things that do not have core technology and are sensational.
Personal computers are productivity tools. As long as the productivity tools are good, it is enough. What sound quality and picture are left? Although there is good, what can you do if there is no? Will it affect the processing of data?
Moreover, as an experienced chip company, Intel no longer goes crazy to improve performance after integrating the chip market.
Instead, based on existing conditions, improve performance bit by bit.
If we talk about the performance limit that current technology can achieve, it is like squeezing out a tube of toothpaste.
Intel's decision-making team believes that instead of squeezing out the toothpaste at once and then rushing to find the next tube of toothpaste, it is better to squeeze a little bit at a time. This not only saves money, but also makes more money, but also can be very calm to overload the toothpaste in this tube of toothpaste.
For Intel, such toothpaste theory, of course, only benefits and no harm.
Moreover, it is possible to update a generation of processors every year. Doesn’t this make Intel’s technical capabilities more powerful?
For those users who have a pursuit of performance, as well as those obsessive-compulsive disorder that feels good when they look at the performance indicators, but feels uncomfortable if they don’t change to the latest processor, this is also a blessing for them!
However, in this pleasant atmosphere of the market, there are still some miscellaneous fish called amd, trying to use better performance processors to disrupt their rhythm.
However, the processing chips of the agricultural company, Amd, are always more or less flawed, and the advertising is not as good as Intel.
Therefore, although the processor performance of amd Chaowei Semiconductor is better, the price is lower, fewer people buy it, and the profit margin is also lower.
Lower profit margins represent lower R&D budgets and lower publicity budgets.
Therefore, Chaowei Semiconductor has become a salted fish that has to turn over almost every year and has always wanted to turn over. However, when it is really about to turn over, Intel will not be so easy to turn over once it is a little harder.
They are busy fighting in the processor field, and they are less concerned about the niche display field that "small companies" like ATI and Wanhu pay attention to.
And this is the opportunity for Wanhu and Ati to make display chips.
You should know that if Intel and Amd handle chips, they would invest much less early money and time costs than companies such as Wanhu and ATI.
Because the display chip is actually just a processor with special performance requirements and has been specially designed.
What it requires is not the ability to quickly solve complex operations, but the ability to perform a large number of simple operations at the same time.
Therefore, when Intel and Amd are still in the single-core era, when they are gradually encountering frequency bottlenecks, they want to develop multi-core central processors.
Wanhu has already started to develop multi-core display chips early on.
While these chip giants were negligent, many graphics cards from Wanhu had been sold, and their technology became more and more proficient.
Nowadays, Wanhu has been undergoing several years of technical research and development.
Basically, in the field of graphics display chips, mobile chips, that is, the central processing field of handheld machine machines, it has gradually reached the world-class level.
The most important thing is that most of the raw materials and parts required in the entire production process can be purchased domestically.
Wanhu has basically established a usable raw material supply system in China.
Wanhu is located at the top of the entire production chain system, engaged in the design and R&D parts that require the largest technology, while the relatively simple part in actual production is handed over to other companies for division of labor.
Such a complete system can be said to be very rare.
However, in mainstream central processing and other fields, there is still a generation gap with world-class top manufacturers such as Intel and Amd.
Although the things produced are not unusable, they can only be classified as second-tier manufacturers.
Moreover, even if Wanhu's central processor design and production can reach world-class level, the current mainstream x86 architecture is compatible with computers, Wanhu's central processor cannot appear.
Because Wanhu did not join the x86 Standards Committee established by ibm Wanguo Commercial Machinery Company.
Those who do not join this standard committee and manufacture chips privately will be taken to court as infringement.
Of course, in China, a country where ibm Wanguo Commercial Machinery Company has not applied for relevant patents, the relevant chips produced by Wanjia can still be used.
However, if sold commercially, the price is too high. Perhaps only families above the middle class in first-tier cities can afford it.
However, for these families, the gap between 10,000 and 20,000 is not that big.
If you can buy a computer with a 10,000-yuan chip, why not buy the latest x86 for 20,000 yuan?
Of course, they really want the latest and best configuration, and the money they spend may be more than 100,000 yuan.
Many of the foreign exchange earned by thousands of households through hard work were consumed in this way.
As for the main places where x86 compatible machines produced by tens of thousands of households are actually state organs and enterprises and institutions at all levels.
In these places, it is obvious that computers are used to improve efficiency by using offices. It doesn’t matter if foreign computers are expensive, but it won’t work if you use foreign exchange.
Compared with gains and losses, the cheap x86 compatible phone in Wanhu has become a good choice.
Wanhu is not vague. Although the computers that went to the government office did not have Wanhu's brand logo, Wanhu used them the best processors, graphics processing chips, and operating systems that were not even foreign countries did.
Even foreign computer users used the visual operating system earlier.
This is a blessing for the many middle-aged and elderly people in the office. It seems that learning to type is much easier.
However, the role of computerists has been reduced a lot.
Although the existing computers still make the best use of the items, they let them control the computer every day, enter some documents and summarize information.
However, when recruiting new people, the number of jobs that lower the standards for typing is much less because they know how to use computers and typing is.
After all, this graphical operating system is very simple and vivid, and you can remember it by just watching it a few times.
