"Boss, AMD had received many orders from PC manufacturers for their CPUs." Masao Kameda reported excitedly.
"Many again? That's good. Are they all dual-core 1 GHZ CPUs? "Feng Yu asked.
"Yes. This is very popular. Also, Intel had announced that they had successfully developed their new CPU. Within a month, the market will be filled with low-end and cheap netbooks. "
Feng Yu waved his hand. "This is normal. If there is a market, there will be profits, and people will be attracted to do it. Intel is still a little behind AMD in terms of dual-core architecture. Don't worry. Oh, when will AMD's new CPU be ready? "
"About two to three months. According to AMD's plan, they will be developing 1.2 GHZ and 1.33 GHZ CPUs. According to the information we received, Intel is going to release a 1.1 GHZ dual-core CPU. "
AMD is using 1 GHZ, and Intel is developing 1.1 GHZ. This is to suppress AMD in terms of performance. But Intel is going to be disappointed. This 1 GHZ CPU is already on order until the end of the year. Before the end of the year, the new CPU will be developed.
At that time, those PC manufacturers will still choose AMD, and Intel will be suppressed in this aspect.
"Don't focus on low-frequency CPUs. Don't lag behind high-performance CPUs. Tell them not to give up on single-core CPUs. Although CPUs will be multi-core in the future, don't focus on multi-core. Don't focus on multi-core CPUs. Before you reach the pinnacle of dual-core CPUs, don't focus on multi-core. "
Before Feng Yu's rebirth, no one was interested in a PC with a single core CPU. This is because very few people will only run one or two programs when using a PC.
Many people will read novels and listen to music. They will also chat and play games. Many people will run multiple programs, and they will not turn them off. This is more convenient.
That's why multi-core CPUs will have more advantages when running more programs. However, the main frequency was still a very important advantage. Under normal circumstances, dual-core was enough.
"AMD is still hesitating. They are halfway through developing a new quad-core CPU. After all, they have been working on it for a long time. It would be a pity to give up now."
"Continue with the previous research. Once it is successful, bring it to the market. What I mean is, for the time being, we should not continue to develop more than four cores for multi-core CPUs. It is not time yet. Among multi-core products, we should focus on dual-core products first."
The research was already halfway done, so it was better to bring it to the market. CPUs between 1.67 and 2.0 are the mainstream now, and AMD's new models are higher than this. Even if they are introduced to the market, the price will be very high, and the sales will not be very good. Even if it was a single core, with its powerful performance, it was enough to handle multiple programs. If there was only one program, it would be even faster.
Therefore, he definitely couldn't give up on single-core programs. Many programs nowadays were optimized for single-core. Dual-core programs were still relatively rare. However, in the future, multi-core optimizations would only get better and better. At that time, the advantage of dual-core would become even greater.
"Oh, did you tell them to lower the power consumption and control the heat? These are the two important points. Also, we must speed up the development of the APU. If this product is successful, AMD's shareholders will be overjoyed. "
APU is a product that combines the CPU and graphics card into one. In the future, tablets will be more space-efficient, and the tablet will be thinner and will not overheat.
"Boss, I have a question. We had received news that Intel's low-frequency dual-core CPU is 1.1 Ghz. Could this news be fake?" Masao Kameda asked.
Feng Yu raised his brows. This is a problem that cannot be ignored.
Intel had only said they had developed a new low-frequency dual-core CPU and did not announce the specifications. They might be hiding this information on purpose.
The 1.1 Ghz that Masao Kameda and the rest heard about might be a smokescreen. If Intel had introduced a 1.2 or 1.33 CPU, they will be half a step ahead of AMD.
With this low-frequency dual-core CPU, AMD had made a lot of money, and the profits are much higher than expected. CHAO definitely didn't want to give up this market.
If Intel overtakes them now, it will be a huge loss for AMD. Perhaps this year's orders were good, but next year, they would be suppressed by Intel like before.
AMD had also thought of giving up on the development of single-core CPUs and investing all their technology into the development of multi-core CPUs to widen the gap between them and Intel.
But Feng Yu rejected this idea.
Feng Yu does not deny dual-core or multi-core CPU will be more advantageous in the future, but it is unwise to give up on single-core now. After all, single-core is still the mainstream in the CPU market, and dual-core is just starting to rise.
On the other hand, if they gave up on the single-core research, then Intel would monopolize this market and increase the profits of Intel's products. This would allow them to invest more funds into their research and development.
That's why they can continue to develop new products with single-core. It is fine if they fall behind, but they must maintain their lead in dual-core. Although it was good to have multiple cores, Feng Yu did not intend to let Chao Wei go through the process of increasing the number of cores from 1 to 2, 2 to 4, and then to 8.
At that time, AMD's CPU might look like it has multiple cores, but its performance is not good. If not, it will not be so cheap. Also, its performance is worse in terms of energy consumption and heating, and it is not as good as Intel's I Series.
At that time, AMD only had eight cores, and its performance is not as good as Intel's dual-core. That's why it is not about the number of cores. It is about the architecture and performance.
"We have to be wary of this. But don't worry too much. After all, it is not easy for them to come up with a mature design quickly. After they introduce it, our new products will also be good. We have more advantages in terms of manufacturing costs. "
Intel has more factories in Europe and the US, and it has fewer factories in Asia. Under Feng Yu's influence, AMD had invested in many factories in Asia, especially Hua Xia and India. This is not including Eastern Europe.
If both products have the same performance, it is obvious that the lower selling price will be more attractive to PC manufacturers and consumers. Especially now, AMD's advertisements were everywhere. Everyone now had the impression that AMD's dual-core processor had better performance and a higher price-performance ratio.
Less than half a month after Feng Yu discussed this with Masao Kameda, Intel held a product launch. Their product is not 1.1 GHz. It is 1.2 GHz. The news that Masao Kameda received is a smokescreen!
