Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Vista encountered Waterloo.

Sales of Microsoft's latest operating system are sluggish.

Many vista users complained.

It is very dramatic that Vista, which Microsoft has high hopes for, has a major sales problem.

A group of media concluded that the situation of Vista causing sales to be sluggish can actually be thought of before.

One is to abandon Windows and switch to the new Vista. Although the wish is good, it is actually very dangerous.

Secondly, the compatibility issue is the first issue that Vista must solve.

Third, although Vista is indeed very efficient in theory, it requires too much configuration.

Fourth, various bugs in vista.

This situation also relieved many of Microsoft's competitors.

However, this doesn't seem to cause much concern within Microsoft.

"Bill, I guessed at that time that our Vista might suffer from a series of problems, and sure enough, it happened."

"Well, you guessed this, and I expected it too. It's nothing to make a fuss about."

"We are in some trouble now. Our Vista sales have been sluggish, which has hindered the promotion of Vista."

"Actually, it's nothing. Our biggest rival for Vista is not a series of competitors, but our xP. As long as everyone is still using xP, then everyone will not switch to Vista so quickly. However, this is our shortcoming , is also our advantage. Even if everyone doesn’t use Vista for the time being, they will still use our xP, right?”

"That being said, it will probably be more difficult to promote our Vista in the future."

"Don't worry, there should be good news from Intel."

Microsoft headquarters, although Bill actually hopes that vista will sell well.

But when the market turned cold, Bill didn't find it strange.

In fact, Bill knows that at the current time point, it is not particularly appropriate to launch Vista.

However, Intel, as an ally, gave Bill a reassurance.

The reason.

That's because Intel is working on a super-performance Pu.

After all.

In fact, from Bill's point of view, what hinders the promotion of Vista is not compatibility or bugs, but the performance of the hardware.

Vista is actually very good at preparation.

But if your configuration is high enough, then Vista will bring you amazing results.

In fact, take the later Windows 7 as an example, Win7 is the successor of Vista.

But why win7 succeeded but vista failed.

The reason is that when win7 was launched, the configurations of many consumer users around the world were sufficient.

The failure of vista is that the current configuration of many computers is very weak.

As for the so-called compatibility, it is actually a matter of step by step.

Even if it is Windows, he does not solve the compatibility issue instantly.

As long as Microsoft is given time, there will definitely be no problem with compatibility.

As for a series of bugs, it is better to solve them one by one.

While Microsoft monopolizes the global operating system, they are not afraid of competitors.

Even if there are competitors like Huanyu System, this only gives them a slight threat, but the threat is not particularly great.

The reason why Bill can insist on launching Vista now is because of Intel's cooperation.

As two of the best friends in the world, the success or failure of Microsoft is also the success or failure of Intel.

With the release of Vista, comes another super powerful PU that matches Vista.

…

"Kaipay, let me tell you, Microsoft also makes mistakes sometimes, so there is no pressure now."

Vista sales have been sluggish, and the pressure on Huanyu System has been resolved.

Not only that.

It was precisely because the sales of Vista were sluggish that it was better to launch their Universal System at this time.

Although their Huanyu system is not a very good operating system, it can occupy a small market at this time.

Especially when Vista is being complained about by everyone, releasing the Huanyu system now can really attract everyone's attention.

Vista is not very good, why not try the Huanyu system.

Anyway, it’s all about experience, and it’s good to experience the Huanyu system.

"I'm finally relieved."

Li Kaifu nodded: "However, Vista is indeed very advanced in many places. Especially its user interface system is really very technological. At the same time, its memory management system is also very advanced if it is not for the hardware failure. "

"So, Kaipay, we still have a long way to go in terms of operating systems."

Huanyu operating system is just an operating system based on the Linux kernel.

What can I say about this operating system? Although it is compatible with most domestic applications, it has no achievements in terms of highlights.

It is just a very ordinary operating system.

The reason why some Chinese people can use it is because using the Huanyu system you can play Luyalu launched by Huanyu Technology.

Without this game ecosystem, the Huanyu system would not be able to be launched.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, we will work hard to catch up in this area."

Li Kaifu expressed his stance.

"Brother Jian, there is something wrong with Microsoft's recent performance."

After communicating with Li Kaifu, Chen Yu always felt that something was wrong.

"Mr. Chen, where are you talking about?"

"You see, the sales of Vista on the market are terrible, but there seems to be no movement from Microsoft. Instead, they have stepped up their promotion of Vista."

"What's wrong with this?"

Zhang Jianming doesn't understand something: "The more sales are sluggish, the more publicity should be given."

"That's the truth, but... I always feel like there's something unusual here."

The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more something was wrong.

In fact, regarding Vista, many people in the industry are still very optimistic about Vista.

Whether it is his design concept or his core advantages, this surpasses previous windows.

The reason why Chen Yu was so calm before was just because he knew that vista failed in his previous life.

I believe it would not be a surprise to do it again at this time.

But as a person involved, during this period, Chen Yu felt that something was not normal about Microsoft.

But Chen Yu couldn't explain what was wrong.

"Mr. Chen, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Yeah. But I don't know what's wrong."

This feeling made Chen Yu very irritated. He was always thinking about it in his mind, but he just couldn't figure it out.

But soon, a company reminded Chen Yu.

This company is called Intel.

Of course, Intel is not here to remind Chen Yu, they just released a message in the media.

The news is that they are developing a super-performance Pu.

And name this pu ore2, the Chinese name is Core 2.

If you don’t know why, you may think that this is the second generation processor after the first generation of Intel Core.

Although he actually is.

However, when he saw the news from Intel, Chen Yu finally understood what was wrong with Microsoft.

Core 2.

This is not just the name of a pu.

He also represents another milestone dual-core in the history of PU.

Let’s talk about the development history of Pu dual-core.

As early as many years ago, IBM launched dual-core Pu.

However, the dual-core Pu launched by IBM at that time was too expensive and ordinary people could not afford it.

Moreover, such Pu at that time was for server level and could not be used by ordinary people.

So by 2006, there was not much news and information about dual-core processors on the market.

However, as the overlord of processors, Intel's release of dual-core processors is groundbreaking.

This news not only shocked the entire industry, but also shocked Chen Yu.

What shocked Chen Yu was not that he was dual-core or not.

With decades of experience in previous lives, Chen Yu has experienced it all, let alone dual-core, quad-core, eight-core, 32-core...

The reason why Chen Yu felt something was wrong was the impact of Intel dual-core on Vista.

After all, why does vista fail?

In addition to a series of incompatibilities, the same hardware is also a reason that cannot be ignored.

It can even be said that he is one of the most important reasons.

If all computers are already dual-core at this time, will Vista still be unable to be launched?

Chen Yu couldn't answer this question.

But he has a hunch that if Intel and Microsoft reach close cooperation in the hardware area, Vista may not fail.

This gave Chen Yu a big danger signal.

As a person involved, Chen Yu was a little uneasy when faced with the sudden appearance of the dual core.

"Brother Jian, call the dean, Kaifu, Zhang Rujing, He Tingbo, Lin Benjin... all to the headquarters."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Chen Yu immediately gave Zhang Jianming instructions.

Intel's dual-core processor affects not only Vista, but also Huanyu Technology's processor business and semiconductor foundry business.

Immediately, Chen Yu called over all the people in charge of Huanyu Technology's semiconductor business.

"Tingbo, you are in charge of chip design. Is the dual-core processor technology difficult?"

"Theoretically it's not difficult, it's just about integrating two computing cores on one processor."

"Then how much does he push the main frequency?"

"Very big."

He Tingbo explained: "The development of chip technology has actually reached its peak. This has something to do with the chip manufacturing process. Currently, the world's mainstream photolithography machines are unable to achieve processes below 60 nanometers."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu looked at Lin Benjin.

Lin Benjin also said: "Mr. Chen, our wet lithography technology is being fully developed and there have been some breakthroughs. If everything goes well, our wet lithography process can break through the 60-nanometer process and even reach below 10 nanometers. . However, our process is still under research for the time being, and I estimate that it will take one to two years before our wet lithography process is fully mature."

After finishing speaking, Lin Benjin continued: "As the chip manufacturing process cannot break below 60 nanometers, Intel can only use dual-core processors to increase the main frequency. However, this depends on market acceptance."

"Kaifu, you have worked at Microsoft. Do you think Microsoft's Vista and Intel's dual-core processors have reached a strategic agreement this time?"

"Mr. Chen, Microsoft and Intel have always been strategic partners, and they are the strongest strategic partners in the world. They know deeply that both will prosper and lose. Therefore, Intel will definitely be there when Vista is released. Help us. This dual-core processor, I think, will have a huge impetus for improving the performance of Vista."

After Li Kaifu finished speaking, Zhang Rujing, who was in charge of Center International, also said: "Intel's dual-core processors may be handed over to TSMC for foundry this time. If the promotion of dual-core processors goes smoothly, we will fall behind in foundry technology. Their generation.”

Zhang Rujing's words were extremely heavy.

Originally, Central International was 2-3 generations behind TSMC, and it was already quite difficult to catch up with TSMC.

This time with the dual-core explosion, it is another generation behind. It’s really a long time to catch up with TSMC.

"In fact, there is no need to be discouraged. Compared with the time when we had nothing, now we have opened up a great situation for the first time."

Dean Li Biqing saw that the atmosphere was not right, but said with a smile.

"The dean is right, I just said nonsense."

Zhang Rujing said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, no matter how big the gap is with TSMC, we will never give up."

"So are we."

He Tingbo and Lin Benjin also nodded.

"good."

All the people in charge expressed their opinions, and Chen Yu also had a bottom line: "High-rise buildings cannot be built in a day. As long as everyone works together, there is nothing we can't accomplish. However, Intel's dual-core processor is indeed a trouble. Everyone has Is there any solution? For example, prevent the launch of Intel's dual-core processors."

This statement shocked everyone.

“Suppressing the launch of Intel’s dual-core processors?”

"How can this be?"

Several people in charge looked at each other and shook their heads inwardly.

The processor is developed by Intel, how can you stop them from releasing it?

However, Zhang Jianming doesn’t think so: “I think there are still some ways.”

"Oh, Brother Jian, what can you do?"

"The domestic side should be able to take some measures."

Zhang Jianming thought for a while and said: "In order for Intel to launch its dual-core processor, it needs the support of many computer manufacturers. Our Huanyu Technology already owns Huanyu, Shenzhou, Tsinghua Tongfang, Founder... and other brands in the domestic P area, and at the same time, we also cooperate with Acer maintains cooperation. At critical moments, the higher authorities may also exert pressure on Lenovo. However, in foreign markets, we probably have nothing to do."

As the general manager of Huanyu Technology, Zhang Jianming's ability to coordinate the overall situation has become stronger and stronger.

Chen Yu was also very pleased with this.

"Brother Jian, that's good. You've considered it comprehensively."

Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, please stop laughing at me. However, this is not safe at all. Although we can take certain measures domestically, it also depends on the acceptance of dual-core processors in the market. If the market is fully opened , fully accepting dual-core processors, by then even if we want to reject them, we will have no choice.”

The world is one, it doesn’t mean that you can’t accept it if you don’t want to.

For example, for a series of computer brands controlled by Huanyu Technology, if the other series of computers are equipped with dual-core processors, yours is not.

Let me ask, what will consumers choose then?

Even if you don't want to use Intel's dual-core processor, you are forced to use it.

If you just don’t want to use it, then not only will you be unable to stop the promotion of Intel’s dual-core processors, but you will also ruin your own computer business.

So sometimes, why do a series of domestic mobile phone companies use American chips?

It’s not that they don’t want to use domestic chips.

One is that there is no chip in China, and the other even if there is one, it is not as advanced as theirs.

As for Huawei's chips, you can only use them yourself.

What do you want them to do at this time?

Do dead bars use junk chips?

This seems to have integrity, but while it has integrity, it means that your mobile phone brand disappears from the eyes of the public.

That's not all.

What makes you even more disgusting is that if you disappear, foreign brands will once again be snapped up by Chinese people.

At that time, you will see that all mobile phones in the country will be dominated by foreign brands.

"Brother Jian, what you said is wrong."

Although Chen Yu cannot prevent Intel from releasing chips, some other actions are still possible.

for example.

Chen Yu said: "What does market acceptance depend on? Generally speaking, it depends on sales volume, so what does it depend on when it is just promoted in the early stage? Product performance? This is one reason, but I think it depends more on public opinion. Publicity and promotion. If we kill Intel’s dual-core in terms of public opinion, will consumers still be interested in dual-core processors?”

Everyone remembered this.

When it comes to public opinion, Huanyu Technology also has a huge market share abroad.

Friends.com, Huanyu Video...these two are famous public opinion positions.

Although they are not sure whether Huanyu Technology can completely suppress Intel's dual-core in terms of public opinion.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as their dual-core processors are delayed for a year or two, it will be a completely different situation.

"Wang Chang, how is our friend network?"

"Currently, it has entered 50 countries and regions around the world and ranks first in the world in terms of IP traffic."

"That's right. What about media influence?"

"We are weak in this area. Our Friends Network is positioned as a social networking site. It focuses on social networking. Its media influence is still not as good as that of the established portals."

Chen Yu made a phone call to Wang Chang who was far away in the United States.

The purpose of calling Wang Chang was not to put pressure on Microsoft and Intel in terms of public opinion immediately.

As Chen Yu said just now, although Chen Yu controls two global media websites, Friends.com and Huanyu Video.

However, one is positioned in social networking and the other is positioned in video. Both major websites have relatively weak influence on the mainstream market.

However, Chen Yu has his own plan.

"Okay, I will go to the United States in a few days."

"Mr. Chen, are you coming to the United States?"

"Yes, I have a new idea to discuss with you about building a new media platform."

"Portal?"

"no."

Chen Yu shook his head: "The portal website is too simple. Although it is possible to build a portal website, it is difficult, expensive and annoying. Moreover, it cannot be achieved in a short time to be recognized by the mainstream public. .I have a new model, I believe you will be very interested."

"The new model, Mr. Chen, please reveal it a little bit. What you said made me excited."

"It's okay to reveal it. It's almost the same as Talking on Friends Network. You can think about it first and see if we can improve Talking and turn it into a powerful media platform."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu made plans at home to go to the United States.

This time when he went to the United States, Chen Yu not only had a new idea, he also had to unite with competitors from Microsoft and Intel.

Such as amD.

The media revealed that Intel’s dual-core processors are not just a concern for Huanyu Technology.

What is more worrying than Huanyu Technology is AMD, Intel's most direct competitor.

As another major processor giant, Intel is the life and death enemy of AMD.

At this time, Intel released dual-core processors, and AMD obviously couldn't sit still.
