Chapter 859 (2/2)
Jerry Sanders's face twitched.
Originally in the high-end market, AMD's market share was about 18%. The low-end market is about 35%. As a result, a large part of the high-end market has been robbed. Of course, he recognizes this. Pentium 2 is so strong. However, he can't stand the scum of the low-end market.
”Celeron 2!” Jerry Sanders gnashed his teeth.
”What about our next generation of processors?” Asked Jerry Sanders.
The next generation processors are K7 and k6-3, both of which adopt 0.18 micron process. K7 is for the high-end market and k6-3 is for the low-end market.
”Plan to go public in 1999!” The Secretary reported.
Under normal circumstances, Intel will not launch Pentium 2 so early, and will launch Pentium 2 at the end of next year. After that, AMD will keep up. After all, amd has been a catch-up in recent years.
Who would have expected that after being stimulated by Qin Feng, Intel took out laboratory products a year in advance. This makes amd speechless.
”To speed up research, we must launch it as soon as possible!” Jerry Sanders, cold hum.
Later, Jerry Sanders held a board meeting to discuss the matter.
”If we launch K7 and k6-3 in advance, we will lose a lot!” Many directors are also worried.
This requires increasing R & D capital investment and recovering most CPUs on the market. So they lose a lot.
”If we don't follow up quickly, we will be eliminated by the market. K7 and k6-3 must be launched as soon as possible! ” Jerry Sanders said.
If it's too late, the market will have no place for them.
K7, which is comparable to Pentium 2. Of course, the performance will be slightly worse. But at least it can compete. It won't be hanged like K6-2. As for the k6-3, its performance is better than that of Celeron 2. Of course, the price of Celeron 2 is a little painful.
”In terms of money, you don't have to worry. I'll talk to investors!” Jerry Sanders said.
For a company, nothing is more important than money.
Originally, amd would not lack funds. After all, in the market, they can also occupy more than 30% of the market share as a whole. But after being disturbed by Qin Feng, they almost collapsed.
Therefore, we can only find the gold owner.
Amd has been supported by a consortium called atic in Abu Dhabi. These oil tyrants never lack money. For them, investing a little money in AMD is just a matter of convenience.
Although it is said that AMD's market share is now suspended by Intel every year. Intel has almost 80% of the market share, while amd has only 20%. But Abu Dhabi's oil tyrants, it doesn't matter if they lose some money.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Jerry Sanders, or AMD, still has confidence in such a severe market.
”Money? That's all right. How much! ” The atic consortium in Abu Dhabi asked richly, ”what is your income this year?”
Jerry Sanders was a little proud.
”Last year our annual revenue exceeded...” Jerry Sanders was about to proudly introduce AMD's market share and annual revenue last year.
When amd was founded, it had eight employees and no office space. They started their own business in their own house. Now, it is a large company with more than 5000 employees and sales of more than $2 billion.
But before he could speak, the tyrant of the atic consortium in Abu Dhabi waved his hand.
”Don't talk to me about useless things. In a word, how much do you want!” The local tyrant of Abu Dhabi atic consortium asked casually.
