1464. Chapter 1464 Dilemma Intel

When Intel finally announced that they had designed a new dual-core low-frequency processor, they found an embarrassing situation, that is, all PC manufacturers have already ordered from Advanced Micro Devices.

Originally, Intel thought that they designed and produced better low-frequency dual-core processors, which would inevitably lead to large orders, which would also suppress Advanced Micro Devices in the low-end netbook market.

But they absolutely did not expect that the market was initially saturated. Although their products perform better, all PC manufacturers seem to have negotiated the same, and have not come to order.

Those PC manufacturers can be very savvy, and now everyone is the default alliance, that is, when the netbook of Chaowei processor is not sold almost, they will not sell the netbook of Intel’s processor core, otherwise it will be super processor. How to sell the core netbook? Cut the price again?

If the price is lowered again, the hardware manufacturers such as Chaowei will make money according to the contract. What should they do with this PC manufacturer? Although it won’t lose money, but the pre-tax profit margin is lower than 3%, it is simply not worth doing.

Their brand value alone should not be so low!

How many low-frequency dual-core processors do you sell? More than 30 million!

I dare not say that this year’s market is full, but before those PC manufacturers sell more than 80% of inventory, they will not order Intel’s processor.

They also have to adjust the market from time to time. If the market is not as big as they expected, then if anyone has more goods, they are destined to lose.

Besides, the performance of Intel’s processor is better than that of Chaowei, but the price is higher. Those who buy netbooks value the price is cheap.

Every manufacturer is desperately trying to reduce costs, and want to lower the price. Who wants to raise prices?

Besides, the CPU of 1GHZ is enough. Why should I switch to 1.2?

They don’t buy it for the time being, don’t place an order, wait for them to digest the batch of Super Wei CPUs, and then order again. Maybe at that time, Intel’s 1.2 CPU price has also dropped.

When Intel was depressed, Advanced Micro Devices was smiling. When almost all PC manufacturers order this CPU from them, they seem to sell other CPUs on the surface, so they have preferential treatment for this dual-core 1GHZ CPU.

The strength of the offer is not too large, it also makes this CPU order increase, and also increased the sales of other products. At the first sight of those PC manufacturers, this order does not require them to pay more than the breach of contract, and it is okay to place an order early.

Even if the order quantity is a little big, they don’t care. If the price is bigger, the price will be more favorable, and their cost will be reduced. Even if there is a little unmarketable, they can also do the activities to deal with it. Instead, they can use these products to attract consumers.

This is also intentional, and it is a normal means of commercial competition. Give some reasonable preferential conditions and hold the customer in hand. When competitors produced better products, they found that the market was temporarily saturated.

The order of Chaowei has already reached the end of the year. How can those PC manufacturers go to Intel to place new orders?

If the CPU has good performance, it doesn’t matter if it is more, but this kind of CPU is only suitable for this low-cost netbook, and other products are not used.

The prestige of this move, let Intel fall into the embarrassing situation that this product is designed, but can not be sold.

However, Advanced Micro Devices is still underestimating Intel’s determination. Intel quickly announced that their new low-frequency dual-core CPU has been reduced in price. When an order is not sold, it will be reduced!

Even if the price is low, the profit is low, and even don’t make money, Intel also recognizes it. They can’t watch Advanced Micro Devices bigger, they want to make sure they are the processor leader Boss.

As long as the market share is guaranteed, Intel will continue to be loved by consumers, even if it is because of the habit of love.

This will reduce the market share of Advanced Micro Devices and reduce the sales and profits of each other, thus reducing the speed of research and development of each other’s products.

Feng Yu felt that this was a little difficult. Superwey said that there was no need to worry. They once again told Intel that the reason was dumping and unfair competition.

They said that Intel’s new products, counting R&D costs and production costs, are sold at current prices, which means losing money. This is the obvious dumping behavior!

Chaowei and Intel are too familiar with each other. The cost of both parties is probably too high. Of course, Intel does not sell at a discount. Superwealth is to find some trouble for Intel.

Just like SuperSpeed, the Athlon dual-core is selling much better than Intel. Intel is not looking for an excuse to sue the Superwealth.

Now, the impression that Chaowei gives consumers and PC manufacturers is better than Intel on dual-core processors. And Intel does not object, dual-core or even multi-core is the future direction of CPU development.

So many software at this time have optimized the dual core. At this point, Chaowei took advantage of it.

Chaowei also increased publicity at this point and constantly said its own advantages. Now that Intel wants to surpass Superwealth in this respect, Chaowei certainly cannot agree.

In these competitive ways, Feng Yu is not very good at it, and there are too many doorways inside. Chaowei also said that this can only slow down Intel’s product sales speed, but in the end they still have to make a better CPU to win.

They are now designing a low-voltage CPU with a more advanced product architecture. After this product is made, Intel will be defeated on the netbook’s CPU.

Netbooks have high requirements for low energy consumption, and Chaowei intends to do its best. And also on the product head, shrink again. The Lenovo Group requires that the new netbooks be thinner and lighter, and they naturally have to design products according to customer requirements.

The current netbook, in Feng Yu’s view, is still not doing well enough. The performance is awkward. The netbook before Feng Yu’s rebirth is much better than the current one, and it is lighter and thinner, especially in terms of price. Below 1,000 yuan, the production cost is almost one hundred dollars.

Now, the cost is still more than three hundred dollars, so Feng Yu said that there is still much room for improvement.

There are requirements for hardware parts suppliers, software vendors and manufacturers. Only by working together can they control the cost to such a low cost.

However, some people say that the netbook of less than a thousand dollars in the past life is a tablet with a keyboard, which is not really a real notebook.

However, Feng Yu itself pays more attention to the development of the tablet, which is one of the explosions of future sales.
