Rebirth of Fortune Soars

Improve the performance of Pentium, enhance the performance of Celeron and reduce the price.

This set of strategies is based on inter's sufficient technical reserves. At the same time, it also represents a blow to Loongson. Position it at the level of a Celeron processor.

If you want to compare with Inter, it is far from worthy.

"But here, I hope the board of directors can approve that we launch the Pentium 2 generation!" Grove said.

"Pentium 2!" Many directors moved slightly.

In Inter's strategy, it is always about extracting the maximum value from a processor before launching a new generation of processors based on market prospects.

In Inter's original plan, the Pentium 2 generation was planned to be launched early next year. In this way, the Pentium 1st generation, the Pentium CPU integrated with the MMX instruction set, can still make money for half a year.

Almost, just in time to clear out the inventory. In this way, benefits can be maximized.

But it would be too early to launch it now.

"Our Pentium 1 generation can actually suppress Loongson through overclocking! Our current external chips are mainly Pentium 200, but we can launch overclocked versions of 233, 266, or even 300." A director said.

In this way, it can surpass Huaxia Loongson in performance in an instant. In addition, after Celeron also integrates the MMX instruction set, the price is slightly reduced, and it can also pursue Loongson. With the suppression before and after, Loongson’s life is not going to be easy.

"I believe that Loongson can also do it if we are simply pursuing processor frequency. Theirs is a 0.18 micron process. I think their chip frequency can reach at least 500MHZ under the 0.18 micron process. Although our Pentium 1 generation can also reach that , but because the process is not mature enough, if this frequency is reached, it will cause the CPU to be extremely unstable. This will affect the performance." Grove said, "So, we directly launched the second generation and used a new CPU architecture to beat Huaxia Loongson! This opponent must be killed. Otherwise, if it is allowed to develop, it will probably become our most troublesome enemy!"

Grove's attention made many directors feel that it was a bit of a fuss. After all, profit comes first. If you launch it in advance like this, the profit will be less.

"I agree!" This is what Gordon Moore said.

"Huh?" Many directors were surprised.

"China Loongson occupies China's large market. We must pay attention to it and suppress it this morning. Otherwise, they will be more troublesome than AMD. Especially, the other party has the courage to break the price bottom line!" Gordon Moore said.

With the support of Gordon Moore, the entire resolution was passed quickly.

Subsequently, Inter announced that it will launch a new Pentium 2 generation processor: Klamath to the market at the end of the month.

A CPU with a minimum configuration of 233 frequencies, and a maximum frequency of 333MHZ. And next year, the Pentium 2 with a 100MHZ bus will be launched, and its frequency can easily reach 450MHz.

At the same time, a new 0.28 micron process will be adopted. Moreover, while continuing to retain the MMX instruction set, it will provide a 32KB first-level cache and a 512KB second-level cache.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Because this CPU is undoubtedly far superior to all current CPUs. In particular, the Pentium 2 generation not only has improved craftsmanship, but also provides secondary cache. The emergence of this second-level cache will greatly improve CPU performance.

It can be said that in the entire high-end CPU market, inter has no rivals.

The Chinese Loongson 1, which was originally comparable to the Pentium MMX200, was now far behind.

There will be a huge difference in performance. Of course, at present, because it is not yet on the market, we don’t know how big the difference is. However, the performance leadership is certain.

Subsequently, Inter also announced the news of Celeron processor upgrade.

Cy Young 2nd generation. The same 0.28 micron process is used.

Although there is no L2 cache, the MMX instruction set has been enhanced. And the price will be reduced to the range of 600 yuan.

The current Celeron 1 generation is priced at 800 yuan. Now, the second generation of Celeron has enhanced performance and the price is within 600 yuan. It has to be said that this is an impact on the current Chinese Loongson outside.

Major newspapers and magazines have reported the news about Inter. At the same time, they all claimed: China Loongson’s strongest opponent is Celeron 2?

Originally, the outside world believed that China Loongson was a processor that challenged Pentium. Looking at the blue screen now, with inter's strong technical reserves, I am afraid that the only challenge it can face is Celeron.

There is no way to compare with Pentium.

Of course, everything is unknown now. After all, inter's chips are not yet on the market.

No one knows what the data is.

We can only wait for its launch review.

But this time, Inter's action came too fast.

Just one week after the announcement, major foreign evaluation rooms got the latest Pentium 2 and Celeron 2.

"Qin Feng, this is the latest review of Pentium 2 and Celeron 2!" Lei Jun hurriedly brought over the latest data.

These latest CPUs are naturally not available to Qin Feng. Not even the whole of China got it. Obviously, this is also a defensive measure by Inter to avoid having countermeasures here in advance.

Qin Feng took a look at the data and frowned.

Pentium 2, a CPU with level 2 cache and 0.28 micron process, integrates 7.5 million transistors. Its performance is at least doubled compared to the previous Pentium 1 generation MMX, a chip with the same frequency.

This gap is a bit big.

"Of course, the price is a bit high!" Lei Jun said, "This Pentium 2, a CPU with L2 cache, is priced as high as 5,300 yuan."

At 5,300 yuan, this price is even more outrageous.

Under the challenge of Godson, this price is simply outrageous to the point of jaw-dropping.

This also shows that Inter does not take Godson seriously at all. And with its absolute performance advantage, it will crush you.

"What about Celeron 2?" Qin Feng asked.

"After adding the MMX instruction set and using a new process, the performance of Celeron 2 is almost the same as our CPU. Compared with our Loongson, there is only a 20% gap in integer performance, but the floating point computing capability Almost the same." Lei Jun said, "And the price, compared with the prices on our market, is still a bit advantageous. After all, the SEG bosses sell it a bit more expensive."

"In terms of price, don't worry. We can ship the goods at 400 yuan. That's still cheaper than Biyan. The bosses of SEG don't understand the market!" Qin Feng said, "They won't blindly make money. Especially with so many People! It’s just that our skills are short-handed! Our skills are so poor!”

"Indeed! I suspect that there will be three or even four generations behind Inter. So what should we do now?" Lei Jun smiled bitterly.

"Do you think our challenge is too reckless?" Qin Feng asked.

Lei Jun nodded and shook his head.

"The power of Inter has always been here. If we don't challenge it, we will miss opportunities. This has been known since we started making CPUs." Lei Jun said.

"Yes! So, we can only overcome the difficulties!"
