Chapter 1401 â Intel lost
Bang⊠bang⊠bangâŠ.
âEh, whatâs going on? Isnât this district all offices? Are there restaurants here?â A man in a white shirt asked his friend.
âNo. The nearest restaurant is one street away.â
âThen why are there sounds of confetti cannons?â
âWhy canât it be for a new companyâs opening?â
âI saw a new company giving door gifts during their opening. Letâs go and take a look. Maybe we can get gifts.â
When both men rushed to the building, they saw a large crowd, and Policemen are there to maintain order.
âDamn! What company is this? Why are the Policemen here to control the crowd? Itâs just an opening.â The guy in a white shirt stretched his neck to see what was happening.
âItâs not a companyâs opening. Did you just come? This is a competition!â Someone among the crowd replied.
âHuh? Competition? Why would someone hold a competition in an office building? Whereâs the ring?â The white shirt guy retorted.
âThis is a technology competition. IT technologies! Do you know what that is? The Worldâs top two CPU companies are competing. Do you even know what CPU is?â
The white shirt guy only knows CPU is a PC component but doesnât know what it is for. He is just an insurance salesman. Why would he know about technology? However, he pretended to know as he doesnât want to admit he is ignorant.
âWhy would I not know what that is? Itâs just a component in the PC. Do you know what that is since you are boasting?â
âI am boasting?! I am selling a PC for a living, and you are saying I donât know what a CPU is?â
âThen what has these two Worldâs Biggest CPU companies got to do with us? Why are they holding a competition here?â
âI can tell you donât know anything. That company is called AMD Semiconductor, and Feng Yu is a shareholder. Do you know who Feng Yu is? The Worldâs Richest Man!â
âHuh? Semiconductor? Isnât that useful for radios?â The white shirt guy asked.
That PC seller gave him a stare and ignored him. Who says semiconductors are only used for radios?! It is a material that conducts electricity between conductors at room temperature!
âŠâŠ..
âLadies and gentlemen, reporters, and friends from the same industry. This is a competition between AMD and Intel. Both companies are the top producers of CPUs in the World. Rather than calling this a competition, it is more like an exchange and discussion on the future development of processorsâŠ.â
Liu Chuanzhi stood on the stage, and he is the host for this event. The competition is located on the third floorâs ballroom of the Wind and Rain Building.
âThe first event is the server-oriented 64-bit dual-core processor competitionâŠ.â
Intelâs representative walks up the stage with his head held high. He looks very confident as he introduces his companyâs dual-core processor specs. After that, he connects the processor to the machine for the test.â
The result is as good as what that representative claims. The audiences cheered, and some were discussing among themselves. They are impressed with Intelâs technology.
Some smaller semiconductor companiesâ representatives look despaired. The gap is too big, and itâs almost impossible for them to catch up.
Itâs AMDâs turn, and their representative walks up the stage. Intelâs representative sneered. You all want to move up using us?!
Dream on!
The whole world will know how powerful we, Intel, are!
We have more partners compared to AMD!
But the representative was shocked when he heard AMDâs representative announcing their processorâs specs. Why are their productâs specs the same as theirs?
AMDâs processor for servers had reached this level?!
Impossible! This is not true! They are lying!
Very soon, the test results are out. AMDâs serverâs processor is as good as Intelâs.
Intelâs representative is dumbfounded. How is this possible?
The whispering among the audiences got louder. AMDâs technology is not inferior to Intel! No wonder they dare to issue a challenge to Intel!
The following workstation dual-core processor competition confirmed this. Both productsâ specs are about the same.
Liu Chuanzhi shook his head when he saw the shocked expression on Intelâs representative. They had a misconception.
AMD had purposely misled them.
AMD had poured more resources to develop its dual-core processors. Their single-core processors are slightly inferior to Intel.
Intelâs single-core processors are better, and single-cores are the mainstream CPU now.
But this is a competition for dual-core processors, and Intel cannot showcase its strengths.
AMD won the 32 bits and 64 bits dual-core processors for PCs and laptops competitions.
All the companiesâ representatives are shocked.
They know AMD dares to challenge Intel because they have some technology breakthroughs. But they did not expect it was a significant breakthrough.
They were already shocked when their processors are on par with Intelâs at the start. After all, Intelâs market value and market share are several times more than AMD.
From today onwards, all these will change. AMDâs dual-core processors had exceeded Intel!
Intel, the worldâs no. 1 hardware and CPU manufacturer, is beaten by AMD!
Intelâs representative had gone up the stage with his head held high but left the stage as if his soul had left him. He even missed a step and tripped. Luckily, AMDâs representative was beside him and caught him.
A reporter captured this.
The reporter had thought of the headlines for his story when he took that photograph. âIntelâs representative had bow down to AMDâs technologies.â
With the picture the reporter took, it will attract the readersâ attention.
Yes. The article will be talking about AMDâs triumph against Intel because Feng Yu had invested in them.
The companies Feng Yu invested in will have significant improvements. AMDâs board of directors had made the right decision to let him invest.
Sina and other Chinaâs top news websites published an article that day. âIntel had lost to
