Chapter 451 ib’s retreat

"16-bit machine..."

Little Watson felt deeply helpless.

Looking at the parameters of the Pentium computer in his hand, little Watson already felt a vague threat.

ib company has speculated that the Pentium computer will be on the market next year at the latest, but they never expected that their prediction was correct, but the result was something they could not bear.

As far as current technology is concerned, 16-bit computer technology is already the most advanced. No matter how much effort is put into it, it will be difficult to improve computer performance in the short term.

But the emergence of GPU has changed everything.

Watson originally planned to start from the instruction set and create a processor with simple instructions, so as to break through Catherine's monopoly market, but now...

Difficult, extremely difficult.

FC integrates the existing co-processors. For this reason alone, the advantages created by a single instruction set no longer exist, and the emergence of graphics cards has changed everything.

The created graphics operating system shocked little Watson even more.

All the tasks are done with just a few clicks of the mouse... Oh, my God, all the command line mode operating systems nowadays have almost become a cornerstone.

It can be said that the properties of Pentium computers have reached the limit that 16-bit operating systems can achieve. There is no system that can compare with Pentium computers.

If that's all, then that's it. The key is that Watson realizes that many things no longer need to rely on mainframes, and can be completed with just a Pentium computer worth $4,999, even with commonly used software.

, and it only takes less than $30,000 to get it all done.

But... on ib's side, the price of each mainframe is US$10,000... per month.

In other words, after renting an IBM mainframe for three months, you can buy a Pentium computer, and the functions of this computer can almost replace the use of the IBM mainframe.

Of course, this does not mean that the ib mainframe is useless, but its original application scope has been reduced a lot.

In addition, ib360 has been criticized for not being fast enough - Catherine's layout is beginning to work - so Watson's current worries are not unreasonable.

"Should we withdraw from the microcomputer market now?"

Little Watson was suspicious.

His worries are not unreasonable. Now Motorola is also preparing to enter the microprocessor market, and Motorola's position in the market is stronger than that of ib.

After thinking for a moment, Watson Jr. made a decision - to temporarily withdraw from the US market and focus on the Japanese market.

ib's microcomputers occupy more than 60% of the Japanese market. In other words, its own microcomputer plan still has great potential there.

Little Watson thought for a while, and in the end it seemed that he could only do this. Apple's main strength is in the United States, and a small part of its business is in Europe. It seems that they have no plans to enter Japan. In this way, as long as they are in Japan

If the local government temporarily stabilizes its foothold and then uses this as an opportunity to counterattack the United States, there may be great potential.

No, maybe I should attack the European market first then...

Little Watson is thinking ...

"The pre -sale of the first day has exceeded 1,000 units ... um, good, good."

Catherine looked at the sales of Pentium Computer with satisfaction, which has a million dollars in profit -pure profit.

"But I think we should pay more attention to the sales of Microsoft II computers. Recently, the sales of Microsoft II computers have also risen by one level." Elsa reminded Catherine.

"Ah ... too." Catherine opened another list.

But this is also very clear -because the price of 16 Pentium Pentium computers is $ 4999, and the most expensive 8 -bit machine is now only 999 US dollars, the difference is nearly five times.

Prior to this, many people watched currency. Because the news of the 16 -bit machine of Catherine at that time had come out, they probably thought that the price of the 16 -bit machine would be the same as the 8 -bit machine, but they did not expect that the two of the two was that the two of the two.

There are so many differences between many people, so many people simply buy 8 -bit machine -for many people, as long as they are enough, the products on the market now are almost targeted at 8 -bit machines.

"Ah, there are millions of dollars more at once ..."

Some people say that when the money exceeds 100 million, it is just a bunch of numbers. Catherine is almost the same now. Her attitude towards money is very different from before.

Hundreds of millions of funds have not attracted Catherine now.

"Actually, I think we are good now. If we develop that cloud system, we seem to make less?" Elsa seemed to have some doubts about the cloud system.

"Yeah, looking at it alone, the profit is indeed less, but Elsa, we are not just buying a computer."

Another advantage of business is that what you do, you can start from many aspects. "The way to make money is not just one way to buy a computer. Our cloud system can use the entire cloud platform to show all applications and games on everyone.

In front of it, isn't this very bāng? "

"Yeah ..."

Make money by making money, not through the existing entire computer sales system.

"But unfortunately, we can only engage in the cloud system in China. There is no way to bring it abroad ..."

Catherine thought of this, shook her head again. In Europe and Japan, I wanted to engage in the cloud system, which was slightly difficult.

"Why?" Elsa asked curiously.

"It's simple. Our Internet does not rely on us to build it ourselves, but relies on the help of the federal government FU. And we are always just an American company."

Yes, so go to the nuclear Japanese political FU and say that we need to help you build the Internet -this is absolutely not possible.

"But our Internet intercity network has been built almost ..."

This is the most satisfied with Catherine. Except for Alaska and Hawaii, the capitals of all states in the United States have already connected the Internet.

Although it is mainly to build YNE, the construction has not fallen.

However, through the construction of the Internet, Catherine discovered some interesting things. For example, the pentagonal building asked them to lay a optical cable in the desert of Texas. Is there anything of which ... it is self -evident ...

"Okay ... I continue to fill this rotten pit for Guangjiang Liwei ..."

After reading these reports, Catherine threw it aside, and then picked up the novel of the black reef.

"Who is Guangjiang Liwei?"

Elsa asked curiously.

"A pure species ..." Catherine bit her teeth.

Guangjiang Liwei is the original author of "Black Reef".

Catherine is a "reasonable party" and "Perfect Party". The script of "Black Reef" is very good to Catherine, but one of them, Catherine has always felt a little uncomfortable -Nima, pigs, pigs

The feet are in the rain of guns and bullets, what's the bad shot?

Unbearable, I really can't bear it.

Looking at other people's anime, Catherine's feeling is still good, but once he changed to writing script and editing novels, Catherine couldn't stand the reasonable sacrifice for the blood of the plot. So Catherine Kavin.

Yes, in order to make the plot reasonable, but at the same time, he did not lose the original blood, Catherine was plagiarizing the first time ... Oh, in the process of adaptation, Kavin ...

"If it's not because of Guangjiang Liwei, my script has long been completed, how can it be repaired?"

Catherine complained.

"Isn't it enough to add a little super power to the protagonist?" Elsa asked.

"The story I described is in the near future," Katherine scratched his head: "If it is far away, it can be done like this, but Elsa, you think we can develop super powers in the future of the future.

Is it? "

"Probably ... maybe ... unlikely?"

In fact, Elsa wanted to say "maybe", but looking at Catherine on the keyboard again, Elsa stuffed the original lines back into her stomach.

"So it's troublesome"

Can't make the script sublimation in the artistic conception by sacrificing reasonablely ... This is the biggest problem of the reasonable party.

"Ah ... God, Jesus, Maria, Shakyamuni, give me some inspiration ..."

Catherine continued to start the great career of the keyboard ...

In December, there were more than two months before the UN section. The crew of the Hong Kong DreamWorks had boarded the ship to Africa. Their destination was Tanzania. During this period, they had to turn to two boats twice.

, Can we get there.

"Bruce Li ..."

Xue Ronghua also knows this big star, but he never thought that he could be a well -known figure in the United States, and he was actually the other party's bodyguard.

However, after uploading, Bruce Lee did not show his strong body. He was either read a book every day or discussed with Zou Wenhuai about the plot. Xue Ronghua also secretly glanced at Bruce Lee's books.

The content of philosophy.

In Xue Ronghua's view, the other party is not like a movie star who is famous for action scenes, but it looks like a scholar.

However, Xue Ronghua has never ignored the muscles on Bruce Lee

From the perspective of which perspective, Bruce Lee gives a sense of danger. This is IB’s intuition .ib must find possible assassins in the crowd, so observing a person is not a problem for IB, it is not a problem for the problem.

Then, then

What is returning to the truth, that's what is in the novel. Could it be that the strong man practice will become a pseudo -mother? Beauty is so ugly? This is an absolutely thing that will never happen.

Feeling, Xue Ronghua will not be wrong.

…

Tomorrow I will be dragged to work by a girl. Please wish me good luck in getting a girl...

Well, there is one more update~f@.
