Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

v1 Chapter 599: Extreme concern for the PC industry

The price of 999, compared with Core 2 Duo, E4300's current price of 1500 yuan is indeed much cheaper.

It can even be said to be the price of cabbage.

Why did Chen Xiao set this price?

That's because before setting the price, the marketing department of Changtian Technology conducted a full market research and came to this conclusion.

The first one is that the entire chip market, especially the high-end chip market, has been occupied by Intel's Core chips. If Changtian Technology wants to occupy the market as soon as possible, it must have price advantages and performance advantages, both of which are indispensable.

Chen Xiao fully considered the current fierce competition with Intel. This time, Changtian Technology must gain a firm foothold in the chip industry. Regardless of whether Intel and Western companies are willing or not, Pangu Chip must become an important player in the industry.

Chen Xiao is also very sober. Compared with the size and R&D team, Changtian Technology is definitely unable to beat Intel to death.

The contest between the two sides is continuous, and "On Protracted War" can be placed here.

Moreover, Intel is already impacting high-end 65nm process chips, and has even made breakthrough achievements in 45nm technology.

As long as Intel's 45nm chip is successfully developed, the advantages of Changtian Technology's 65nm chip in carbon crystal cache will become less obvious.

Consumers' feelings for technology products are scumbags. Don't think that consumers will have deep feelings for a certain technology product.

Therefore, Chen Xiao set a price of 999 yuan to get the order as soon as possible and gain market share.

The second point, according to the information from Chen Xiao, Intel is cooperating with TSMC, and within two weeks, the mass production of Core 2 chips will increase dramatically.

At this time, the shortage situation on the market will be greatly alleviated. Even if there is no Pangu No. 3 chip from Changtian Technology to participate in the competition, the price of E4300 and other series of Core chips will drop to less than 1,000 yuan. .

According to the evaluation of the market strategy department of Changtian Technology, the price of E4300 will drop to about 600 yuan by the end of the year, making way for the next generation of Core 2 Duo.

Therefore, the price of the Pangu No. 3 chip at this time is set at 999 yuan, which is to squeeze out the water in advance.

The birth of Apple 2G in 2007 means that the Internet era has officially come.

There are two competitions in the era of mobile networks.

One is the competition between hardware and the other is the competition between software.

The former is obviously more cruel.

The domestically produced mobile phones of a country that was once incomparably brilliant fell behind the West due to hardware competition and were brutally suppressed by the West. As a result, its mobile phone share changed from No. Classification.

It was too late when Xia Guo's technology company reacted to this matter.

That's why Changtian Technology will cut into the hardware design and manufacturing at the fastest speed this time.

Competing for the PC market is just the beginning. The purpose of manufacturers is to occupy a place in the mobile Internet era and become a technology company that plays a decisive role in the industry.

Zhang Jing finally said at the press conference: "Today we are very grateful to everyone who came to the scene. This time, Changtian Technology's Pangu No. 3 chip will be available to most PC companies and markets. Thank you!"

Zhang Jing stood in the center of the stage and bowed deeply, he was full of emotion in his heart!

Zhang Jing felt that he had succeeded!

After coming to the mainland of Xiaguo for so many years, he has experienced the establishment of Xiaxin International, the cooperation with Changtian Technology, the production of 65nm level chips, and the leap to the forefront of the world in IC technology. Zhang Jing has a thousand words in his heart, and it is difficult to tell. .

At least, he felt that he should be more successful than Zhang Zhong.

The most important reason why Zhang Zhong’s TSMC can produce 65nm-level chips is not how advanced the technology of TSMC is or how excellent the talents are, but because TSMC has a unique cooperation with the United States. Conditions, undertook the transfer of production capacity in the United States, and of course also undertook the transfer of related technologies in the United States.

Including the 65nm-level chips produced by TSMC this time, all the technology and equipment are from the United States, and the lithography machine is also purchased from Asmer.

It is only natural for TSMC to produce 65nm chips.

However, Changtian Technology is different from Yanjiang Semiconductor Company. From the raw material of the chip to the final molding, from the lithography machine to the etching machine, all are made step by step by the company's scientific research personnel.

The difficulties are only known to you.

But Zhang Jing understands that after today, Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company have their own place in this world!

And living is more confident and dignified than fetal power!

Zhang Jing announced that most of the PC manufacturers in the world can buy Pangu No. 3 chips, and at the same time, Pangu No. 3 chips can also be sold in the market, which shows that Changtian Technology is officially competing with Intel in the chip field!

Many PC manufacturers in the audience are ready to move!

This time, not only Shenzhou can purchase, but all manufacturers can purchase, so everyone has an advantage!

Just to see what it takes to stand out from the cutthroat and exciting competition.

Zhang Jing thanked him again and announced an even more shocking fact.

Zhang Jing said: "Coastal Semiconductor Company will undertake semiconductor orders and contribute to the semiconductor industry in Xiaguo. Thank you everyone!"

Zhang Jing bowed again and left the press conference.

This time, the entire press conference was boiling, and everyone was talking about it!

Along the river semiconductor has 65nm process technology, this technology is definitely inclusive!

If Coastal Semiconductor can undertake Xia Guo's semiconductor orders, then the development of Xia Guo's semiconductor industry will leap to a new level.

Zhang Jing left the venue, Wang Xiang continued to host and said, "All guests, please leave the venue in an orderly manner according to the signs! Thank you everyone!"

This time, many people refused to agree, because they had too many questions in their minds, especially many reporters, who hurriedly asked questions loudly.

"Mr. Wang, hello, what is the future plan of Changtian Technology in the chip industry? Will it further improve the production of chips and formulate chip standards."

This question is very sharp, and it is to know whether Changtian Technology will compete with Intel in an all-round way.

Wang Xiang's answer was very artistic. He said: "Currently Changtian Technology's Pangu series chips use different technologies from most of the chips currently on the market."

Gu Xuan

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "We can only set our own standards, because we have no way to use other people's standards."

This answer received a round of applause from the audience.

"Hi, Mr. Wang, I'm a reporter from Xinlang Technology. Does Changtian Technology have plans to cooperate with Lianxiang?"

This question is also very acute. After all, there are some grievances between Changtian Technology and Lianxiang. Although it has not been made public, many media are also aware of it.

As Xiaguo's media, most of the media still hope that the country can move forward positively, and hope that next week's technology companies can be ahead of the world.

In 2007, Lianxiang did some unwelcome things, but the media in this era is not so developed, and the self-media has not appeared. Many news and news expressed things that others asked you to Seeing is not fact. In the eyes of many people in the country, Lianxiang is still the leading enterprise belonging to all Xia Guo, and it is the glory of the nation.

Especially after Lianxiang acquired IBM, it is a great company.

This problem is very tricky.

Some companies have done a lot of things to stab Changtian Technology behind the scenes. Although Chen Xiao does not hold grudges, she is not a silly, sweet and kind person, and business competition is cruel.

Zhang Jing just said at the press conference that the Pangu No. 3 chip of Changtian Technology is open to all companies. That is to say, but there must be differences in actual operation. Otherwise, how will Shenzhou develop?

Intel's chips are still given priority to American technology companies.

Wang Xiang said: "Mr. Zhang just said at the press conference that Changtian Technology does not rule out cooperating with any company."

Cooperation is cooperation, how to cooperate specifically, and at what price, that is another story.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm a reporter from "Computer News"..."

Wang Xiang was originally announcing the end of the press conference, but under the entanglement of various reporters, the press conference was abruptly delayed for an hour before it ended.

Changzezhou is still relatively far from the urban area, so most of the reporters and guests chose to stay in the Moon Moon Hotel of Changtian Technology.

Changtian Technology is quite generous. All those who participated in the press conference will stay in the hotel for free, so that our guests from other places can enjoy and appreciate the beautiful natural environment of Changzezhou and the bright moon in the starry sky at night.

Being able to stay in Changzezhou at night is an excellent thing for representatives of many companies, because they have enough time to negotiate with Changtian Technology, hoping to purchase the Pangu No. 3 chip.

Dell, ASUS and other companies have timely organized the situation at the conference site into a written report and reported it to the head office.

And immediately got the instructions from the head office.

Like Intel, although these companies have seen the whole process of the Pangu No. 3 chip conference, they are still a little uncertain about the true performance of the Pangu No. 3 chip.

After all, it took less than a year for a company to fully develop and produce a lithography machine, and immediately mass-produce chips with a 65-nanometer process. It would make people feel that this kind of thing happened to any technology company. Something incredible.

Therefore, Dell and Asustek’s opinion is that they can negotiate with Changtian Technology, get a sample of the chip, send it to the laboratory of the head office, and test the performance.

If the performance is consistent with the description in the press conference. Dell and Asustek do not rule out large-scale purchases, and the quantity purchased this time will be larger than the number of Pangu 1 and Pangu 2 chips last time.

After all, the performance of the Pangu 3 chip this time far exceeds that of the Core 2 chip.

Chip production is the business of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company where Zhang Jing works.

However, the sales of chips are planned by Changtian Technology, so Wang Xiang negotiated with representatives of these teams immediately after the press conference.

According to Chen Xiao's instructions, this time Changtian Technology is open to all companies that purchase chips, so their requirements are also met.

Companies such as Dell and ASUS purchased 10 to 100 chips as samples and took them back to the head office for analysis.

The embarrassing situation remained with Yang Qing.

Yang Qing immediately purchased 10 chip samples from Changtian Technology.

Whether Lianxiang will purchase Changtian Technology's chips in the next step, it is more important to take the samples back for research for the time being.

However, Yang Qing and Lianxiang's team had no shame in staying at the Mochiyue Hotel of Changtian Technology. After getting 10 chip samples, they hurried to the airport in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and they would take a late-night red-eye flight back to Yanzhou. Beijing.

At this moment, Wu Jun was sitting with Chen Xiao in the garden on the top floor of Chen Xiao's office, drinking some wine with the sea breeze blowing.

Wu Jun is under a lot of pressure now.

Because at the press conference, Zhang Jing directly announced that the chips would be open for sale to all companies. This kind of thing was not expected by Wu Jun before the press conference.

The biggest advantage of Shenzhou is that it can obtain the most advanced products at a price lower than the market, relying on Changtian Technology.

With such an advantage, Shenzhou can have a place in the entire PC market.

But if Changtian Technology opens up the sales of chips, so that all PC companies can get the corresponding chips, then the advantages of Shenzhou will disappear.

So Wu Jun is still a little emotional.

After he took a sip of wine, he didn't dare to show his inner anxiety~ lightnovelpub.net~ and said: "Mr. Chen, if companies like Lianxiang and Dell can purchase the corresponding chips in the first place, This will be very stressful for Shenchuan.”

The service staff brought the skewers over, and Chen Xiao took a bite of the beef and said, "Mr. Wu, you should have heard it during the press conference just now. The chips of Changtian Technology will not only be open to all PC companies, but also open to the entire market."

"Are you saying that Shenzhou is under more pressure or Lianxiang is under more pressure?"

Wu Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of a question.

If the chip is open to the entire market, many roadside computer shops will purchase their own hardware and assemble it themselves, so that the price of the computer should be lower than that of brand-name machines, and the pressure on the entire brand-name PC market will be very high.

Even if Shenzhou is cost-effective and lowers the price very low, and can compete with those assembled machines, the profit of Shenzhou will also be greatly reduced. How should the company survive at that time?

At this time, Chen Xiao put the skewers in his hands aside, picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Jun, after Changtian Technology released the Pangu No. 3 chip today, the rules of the game in the entire PC market will be changed." changed."

"Shenchuan must transform immediately, reduce the number of branded desktops shipped, and shift the focus of production to notebook computers and mobile communications business, including the entire production line."

"Whoever can jump out of brand desktops earlier will be able to seize the opportunity!"

After Chen Xiao said this, she looked at Wu Jun and thought in her heart, I've spoiled it for you, if you don't even have the ability to comprehend this, then even if Shenzhou is a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, you should die or die.
