Chapter 976 (1/2)
Of course, when the target object changes from NVIDIA to ATI, the method is naturally different.
In particular, he Guoyuan believed in the wet towel theory and would never agree to the acquisition of the company.
Of course, that's not to say no.
After all, ATI was later acquired by AMD for $5.4 billion in 2006.
However, at the time of acquisition, ATI was driven down from the altar by NVIDIA, which came from behind, and was in a deep dilemma.
At that time, he Guoyuan had to sell. And now, there's no way.
As for Qin Feng, it's too long to wait until that time to buy. That will take years. In recent years, my CPU may have been left far behind by Intel.
Qin Feng can accept that CPU performance can only be compared with Intel's low-end, but it can't be said that it has been completely driven out of the market. Under the current development, it is very possible.
Therefore, Qin Feng can only play comprehensive cards and use the overall performance to improve his competitiveness.
But what makes Qin Feng very helpless is that NVIDIA chose to cooperate closely with Microsoft for politically correct reasons, while he Guoyuan, although happy with the cooperation intention of the company from Huaxia, explicitly rejected any suggestions of cooperation from Qin Feng.
ATI can provide display chips for Qin Feng, but does not accept any cooperation other than.
At present, ATI is very powerful and is the leader of display chips. The market share of display chips exceeds 70%, and in a few countries, it has reached 90%. With such a strong market position, ATI does not need to cooperate with anyone.
”Mr. Qin, if you want to buy our display chip, we are very welcome. And I am willing to supply you at a price 5% lower than the market supply price. ” He Guoyuan said, ”but for your other intentions, I can only say I'm sorry!”
”I see. Thank you, Mr. He. I'll consider your proposal carefully and contact you again!” Qin Feng had no choice but to hang up.
”What's the matter?” Ihano came with a fruit tray.
Qin Feng shrugged.
”It seems that the world is not plain sailing, not everything can be satisfactory.” Qin Feng sighed.
Originally, Qin Feng thought that as long as he had the memory of future generations, everything would be very simple.
But in fact, memory is memory. The occurrence of those things in memory occurs naturally at that point. Some may succeed if they intervene by force, but others may not succeed.
For example, this time, Qin Feng failed one after another.
But Qin Feng was not discouraged.
At present, there are display chip manufacturers in the market, not only powerful ATI, potential NVIDIA, but also voodoo (voodoo) of 3dfx company.
Voodoo (voodoo) graphics card can be said to be the strongest 3D graphics card today. In the 3D field, it exceeds ATI. At present, the dream configuration of many computer players is that Pentium 2 is equipped with voodoo (voodoo) 2 graphics card.
However, this set of graphics card has a defect, that is, its 2D display performance is mediocre and the price is a little expensive. Therefore, it is not the standard configuration, but the configuration of a few enthusiasts.
Therefore, Voodoo (voodoo) graphics card is really good and has a high market share, but it is only limited to a few high-end markets.
After all, the demand for 3D graphics cards is not large at this stage, and there are not many 3D computer games on the market. In particular, no matter how good voodoo (voodoo) graphics card is, the game picture shown in its game can not be compared with PS.
The real 3D masterpiece game is still on the home game console platform. Computer platforms, although there are many games, are still not enough to support 3D games.
Therefore, Voodoo (voodoo) graphics card is popular, but it doesn't make much money.
In addition, Voodoo (voodoo) graphics card has made a fatal mistake, that is, it does not support Microsoft's DirectX, which will be abandoned by the market in the next two or three years. It was eventually acquired by NVIDIA at a very cheap price of $75 million.
Compared with its status and market appeal, it is really the price of cabbage.
