"Jerry, this bottle of wine is for you." Zhang Yang handed the wine box to Jerry Sanders.

"Hahaha, it's my favorite Latour, and the year is good, thank you my friend, please come in."

Sanders invited Zhang Yang to come to his house, which is only for close friends. If it's an ordinary entertainment, just go to a restaurant outside.

"Yang, isn't the 32-bit microprocessor we developed and produced very useful? I see that your handheld has completely suppressed gBa, and its sales have almost doubled."

"Of course, this is indeed credited to Chaowei. It seems that this microprocessor of Chaowei has also been purchased by some PDa manufacturers and translation machine manufacturers. Chaowei's revenue has also increased a lot, right?"

Relying on this microprocessor, Chaowei can at least have sales of more than 100 million U.S. dollars per quarter. It doesn't seem like much, but the profit margin is very good. It can recover the research and development expenses in half a year, and can earn at least 100 million dollars. Two or three years of money.

Moreover, Chaowei has also begun to pay more attention to microprocessors. For example, Blackberry mobile phones also use this kind of microprocessors. I heard that Zhiduoxing Group is designing a new learning machine and plans to purchase this microprocessor.

Sanders laughed loudly: "We have made common achievements. And our Athlon processor is also performing very well now. Last year's sales exceeded 4 billion U.S. dollars. This year, we have even received a large order from the Chinese market. Shangbao Island has also given a lot of orders, and it is estimated that the sales will exceed 6 billion US dollars."

The annual sales of 6 billion U.S. dollars, which Chaowei dared not even think about before, after all, Chaowei had been losing money at that time, relying on bank loans and other operations, working hard to improve its technology, and finally being able to make money .

Intel's expected goal this year is to reach 30 billion US dollars in sales, but looking at the sales in the first quarter, Intel may not be able to achieve this, and 28 billion is not bad.

Under the ebb and flow, the gap between the two companies will be further narrowed. Last year, Chaowei's market share was less than 14%, but this year it is expected to exceed 17%.

And with the cooperation between Chaowei and Yingweida, etc., coupled with the expansion of their German factory and the commissioning of the Huaxia factory, Chaowei is expected to increase its market share to 25% within three years.

Too high a goal, Sanders dare not think about it, it is too unrealistic, after all, Intel has contracts with many PC manufacturers and server manufacturers, which allows Intel not to worry about sales, not to mention Intel is the world's largest display Chip manufacturers, their integrated graphics accounted for nearly 70% of the market.

Intel is also a strategic partner of Microsoft, and the two sides have achieved each other, allowing the market to be further controlled by them.

But now Chaowei also has the Athlon that supports the Microsoft system, the performance is excellent, and their technology has once again made a breakthrough, they will launch the 1ghz Athlon processor, which will make history!

With higher performance, more manufacturers will definitely choose their products. The gimmick of 1g cPu alone can make the PCs of those manufacturers sell well. Otherwise, others have it, and you don’t, giving consumers the most intuitive feeling It is your hardware performance is not good.

Saunders is very fortunate that the acquisition of ng company gave Chaowei a good foundation in microprocessors. Unlike the Transmeta that only appeared last year, it was very clamorous. In fact, except for their good performance in terms of energy consumption, everything else is scum, but there are also some manufacturers of notebook computers who are interested in this.

However, the most important performance of cPu is not in terms of energy consumption. Chaowei's development concept can represent the future.

This time Sanders invited Zhang Yang to his house for a dinner, and there was another important matter.

"Yang, I have something to discuss with you. Microsoft contacted me and said that they are very satisfied with the performance of our CPU and will make some algorithm optimizations so that our performance under Microsoft's system will be better and not weak. In Intel."

"At the same time, they hope to purchase a batch of our 32-bit microprocessors. The number is tentatively set at 20 million for a period of two years. It may be added, but it will not be reduced."

"Microsoft doesn't have any hardware products, but they recently controlled Sega Bandai. I heard that Sega Bandai is going to produce a 32-bit handheld game console Dream Box. I guess this is purchased for Sega Bandai."

"This order, Chaowei very much hopes to get it, which is also of great benefit to the overall development of Chaowei. The company has always been inferior to Intel in terms of revenue, and it is even at a disadvantage in terms of raw materials. This time If we sign this agreement with Microsoft, we will have more initiative in the future.”

"Promise to Microsoft."

"What did you say? Did you agree?" Sanders couldn't believe that Zhang Yang agreed so easily?

Sega Bandai has this microprocessor from Chaowei, and it will definitely be able to quickly develop a suitable architecture and quickly launch a new handheld. This will also have a great impact on Zhiduoxing. Doesn't Zhang Yang care?

"Agree, why don't you agree? This is very good for the development of Chaowei, and I am happy to see this. But let me remind you, in terms of PCu-oriented cPu, the traditional architecture is likely to meet the ceiling, and the performance is improved to It will become more and more difficult for more than 2g, it is better to consider the dual-core architecture."

"Earlier research and development of dual-core technology will definitely benefit Chaowei's development, and it will be more popular with consumers and PC manufacturers."

"As for the possible impact of this on Z4, I don't think so. Even if they have the same performance, do they have fun games? Do they have such a good sales channel? Do they have lower production costs than ours? Yes. Is it such a high brand value?"

"The king of handhelds can only be us, and Nintendo can only lag behind, let alone a Sega Bandai that has never made a successful handheld."

"If Sunny Company wants to purchase, it can also be sold to them. It doesn't matter. These are normal business practices. Although Zhiduoxing is a shareholder of Chaowei, it will not affect Chaowei's development plan."

"I just hope that you can further improve the performance of this microprocessor. Maybe in a few years, we will launch a new generation of handhelds. At that time, I hope we have the priority to purchase."

"Hahaha, no problem, it's settled." Sanders agreed without hesitation.

With the cooperation of Microsoft, the development of Chaowei will definitely be faster, and it is time for Chaowei to really rise. At the beginning Intel looked down on Chaowei, then he would make Intel regret it!

With the opening of Huaxia's factories, their production costs will be further reduced, then maybe in two or three years, Chaowei will be able to officially challenge Intel!
