Many companies might not be interested in ARM technologies now, but in a few years, they will realize that ARM processors will monopolize the market.
Of course, because ARM processors are manufactured by different companies, ARM will not be sued for monopolizing the market.
It's just like Android in Feng Yu's previous life. ARM is the market leader in the smartphone and tablet operating system. ARM owns more than 90% of the market share. Other than Apple and Microsoft, ARM had beaten all the other companies.
But ARM is not sued for monopolizing the market. This is because ARM had released part of its source code, and any company can use ARM's operating system as the core and develop all kinds of applications.
This is also the reason why Feng Yu is not worried that Microsoft's smartphone operating system will overtake ARM. Feng Yu is waiting for Apple to release the HOS operating system after they introduce their smartphones. Anyway, the HOS operating system's source code is from the free Linux operating system.
When that happens, all the companies will develop their own operating system based on HOS. But all the manufacturers must follow the HOS standards, and Lenovo Kingsoft can even charge them some patent licensing fees.
This way, it will be easier for them to attract other manufacturers to join them. At that time, Microsoft and Apple, who will never release their source code, will be left behind.
During this period, Lenovo Group and Lenovo Kingsoft are very busy. They know being half a step ahead will bring them high profits.
Also, Liu Chuanzhi is very concerned about this. During this period, he had been overseeing Lenovo Group, and Lenovo Group's R&D speed had increased.
Not only Lenovo Group introduced a new all-in-one PC, but they also introduced a new generation of audio-visual books.
But after looking at it, Feng Yu felt this all-in-one PC is not as good as it looks. Simply put, the price-quality ratio is not high.
The specs are not high, but the prices are not low. The only advantage is that it saves space.
As expected, this new all-in-one PC is not selling well after it was launched. Other than some government purchases, almost no one will buy this PC.
At the same price, one can buy a good laptop. Other than the screen, how is this all-in-one PC better than a laptop?
If it is a desktop with a large LCD screen at this price, the performance will be much better.
Only government units that were not short of money would purchase this kind of useless product. In Feng Yu's previous life, there were many people who said that a computer with a startup time of two and a half minutes could beat 1% of the computers in the country. That 1% included computer labs in schools, corporate offices, and the like.
There were actually a lot of tricks in this. For example, the government could only purchase the same computer with the same configuration, so there were not many choices.
However, between domestic brands, even the same domestic brand, there might be different agents and different bidding conditions. For example, a so-called data confidentiality clause could increase the price of a computer by thousands of yuan.
What was a data confidentiality clause? It was equivalent to a warranty. However, during the repair, the other party would replace the parts in front of you and then return the replaced parts to you. Under normal circumstances, this would only protect the hard disk.
How much money do you think it would cost to replace a hard drive? Even if there were some secrets in the government's hard drive, could it be that the government had recruited so many computer science professionals, and none of them knew how to change the hard drive?
That's why the service life of the government's computers will be longer than other companies and individuals. Even if the computers were too old, the government will continue to use them until they are scrapped!
"Old Liu, I had told you not to rush to market this all-in-one PC. Many overseas companies might be buying it, but it does not mean we are selling it here. You had also seen the specifications. It is not bad, but the price-performance ratio is very low, right? "
Liu Chuanzhi sighed. "Luckily we had asked for your opinion and did not produce too much. If not, there will be a backlog of products."
"Don't worry about this. AMD's processor performance will continue to improve, and new product architectures will appear. When that happens, this all-in-one PC will be accepted by the users and replace the traditional desktop PC. "
"You should know about the SSD solid-state hard disk. This can increase the performance of the all-in-one PC. In the future, don't use the mechanical hard disk in the all-in-one PC. Anyway, the users you all are targeting do not need to store too many files. "
SSD solid-state hard disk is an upgraded technology from flash drives. It is used to replace the traditional mechanical hard disk, and it is the future hard disk development direction Feng Yu mentioned.
SSD solid-state hard disk has many advantages over mechanical hard disk. Data protection is not affected by the power supply, and the read and write speed is faster.
The most obvious point is that a PC using SSD can only boot half of a mechanical hard disk.
Of course, due to the current flash drive technology, the current mass-produced SSD is only 32G and 64G, and it is very expensive. 32G SSD is more expensive than the traditional 80G mechanical hard disk, and the storage space is less than half.
After deducting the system's space, there is not much space left for the users.
But with the current speed of technology updates, the large-capacity SSD can be mass-produced soon. But it also has the disadvantage of high prices.
But this way, after deducting the 20G reserved for the system, the remaining space is enough for a normal office. If you feel the space is too small, you can buy a portable hard disk. A 160G portable hard disk costs only a few hundred RMB. Compared to the price of a PC, many users can still accept it.
If you still feel the space is too small, there is also a 320G portable hard disk.
The current mainstream desktop PC only has a 160G mechanical hard disk, and a 320G hard disk is considered a high-end hard disk. A laptop with a 160G hard disk is considered a high-end hard disk.
Liu Chuanzhi heard Feng Yu's words and shook his head. "If we use solid-state hard disk, the price-performance ratio will be lower. Let's put aside the all-in-one PC project for now. We should focus on the laptop and make more breakthroughs. The price-performance ratio is the biggest impression we give to the users, and we cannot disappoint them. "
The price-performance ratio is indeed the main problem affecting the sales of the all-in-one PC. But as the technology improves, these problems will be solved.
It is better to put aside the all-in-one PC project for now. Now is not the time for the traditional desktop PC market to shrink.
But Feng Yu does not agree to put the focus on the laptop. The focus should be on the development of the tablet PC. This will bring in huge profits!
