The United States, HP, Dell, and IBM are all paying attention to changes in the high-end computer market in the United States.
The computer market in the United States is naturally different from that in Xia China.
Computer users in the United States are more capable of DIY.
Although branded machines have a stronger cost-effective advantage, DIY machines can better meet the different needs of users.
For this reason, various PC manufacturers have added some optional functions on the basis of the basic configuration.
Most of the options are upgrades to the CPU, memory, hard drive, graphics card, etc. on similar motherboards.
These PC manufacturers have dedicated marketing specialists who pay close attention to the PC market around the world, especially the United States, to provide a basis for their product pricing and configuration matching.
But recently, marketing specialists from many manufacturers have discovered that the performance of many high-end PCs has been greatly improved during this period.
But the fundamental reason is that a large number of carbon crystal memories from Xia Kingdom appeared on the market.
Among them, according to speculation from Dell's marketing department, at least 10,000 pieces of carbon crystal memory have entered the US market in the past few months, and the number of carbon crystal hard drives may be even higher.
Neither carbon crystal memory nor carbon crystal hard drives have ever received sales permission from the United States.
It is certainly impossible for these products to enter the US market through formal channels.
Since it did not enter the US market through the formal market, it must have been through smuggling channels.
Dell immediately became alert and immediately went into the consumer market and actually inquired about the prices of carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drives.
The result shocked Dell executives!
Whether it is carbon crystal memory or carbon crystal hard drive, its selling price is much higher than the sales price in Xiaguo's domestic market, and even higher than the price of the same type of American products.
The price of extremely high-performance products (1G memory and 160G hard drive) is even several times that of Xia Guo's domestic price.
This kind of price is acceptable to American consumers, which only illustrates one problem - American consumers have the potential to consume higher-priced PC hardware products, but American manufacturers do not have the ability to produce such products.
This kind of investigation result made Dell's senior management swallow hard.
The PC market in the United States is currently a Red Sea market, with IBM, Dell, HP, and Apple competing for global supremacy.
Among them, IBM has occupied a large number of markets, while Apple is also rapidly encroaching on the market of young consumers because of its youthful design and comfortable user experience.
In the middle and lower reaches, Dell and HP are locked in a fierce battle, fighting for every profit.
The main reason why the PC market is in such a difficult situation is the serious homogeneity of products.
You are using chips from Intel and AMD, and I am also using chips from these two companies.
If you use Seagate or Kingston hard drives and memory, my family also uses these two products.
Since the internal structures are the same, PC manufacturers only have to focus on appearance, after-sales service, and their own costs.
This has led to PC manufacturers' profits getting lower and lower, and their lives getting harder and harder.
A few years later, IBM's global PC business was acquired by Lianxiang for this reason - Lianxiang's PC hardware could be exactly the same as IBM's, but because Xia Guo's labor and material costs were cheaper, Lianxiang's PC with the same configuration could outperform IBM's.
If it's about 20% cheaper, IBM really can't survive.
Dell saw a large amount of Changtian Technology PC hardware pouring into the United States through smuggling channels from Xia Guo, and was welcomed by high-end American consumers. It also saw the rapid rise of the Xia Guo Shenchuan brand.
All of this happened because of Changtian Technology’s superb PC hardware.
This situation has caused Dell's executives to think about a question - if Dell can obtain Changtian Technology's related hardware products and apply them to the global market, it will surely rise rapidly in the Red Sea market of PCs and crush them.
Over other brands.
But in this case, Dell can only think about it. In the technological environment of the United States, it is too difficult to implement.
A large number of Changtian Technology's hardware products have poured into the United States through unfair means, which has made many memory and hardware companies restless!
The first one to jump out was not Kingston, but Mingguang.
As one of the three largest memory particle manufacturers in the world, Micron not only produces and sells memory itself, but the most important thing is to provide memory particles (chips), especially high-end memory chips, to global partners.
Currently, Micron is looking for ways to solve the problem of commercial use of 512M and 1G memory (involving the size and wiring of memory chips). Here, Changtian Technology has directly launched 512M and 1G memory.
Micron also obtained these two products from Changtian Technology through underground channels, and tested and disassembled the two specifications of memory.
The results shocked the top management of Micron.
Carbon crystal memory not only has super performance, but its principle is also completely different from the memory chip technology currently mastered by Micron.
This is a terrible reality!
If carbon crystal memory continues to sell well in Xia and even around the world, then there will no longer be a market for traditional memory particles.
This means that the technology and large capital investment that companies such as Micron have spent more than ten years accumulating will be wasted, and there will be no profit at all.
Thinking of this terrible result, Micron immediately sent a letter to the relevant departments in the United States to increase the crackdown on smuggled products.
In addition, Micron, Kingston, Seagate and other memory and hard drive manufacturers once again called on the American Computer and Semiconductor Association to take measures!
Because Kingston's boss is Chinese, there are also a large number of Chinese employees in the company, and these people are very familiar with Xia Guo's culture.
When writing to the American Computer Association, Kingston used this sentence - a single spark can start a prairie fire, but it is absolutely impossible for Changtian Technology to grow like this.
The grim facts are before American technology companies.
This embarrasses the American Computer Association.
Some time ago, the American Computing Machinery Association finally managed to coordinate the conflicts within the association's member companies and unanimously supported Microsoft in solving the problem of carbon crystal hard drives through system modifications. As a result, the problem was not solved and Microsoft was in trouble.
Now it's better, the deep-optimized WIN98 system has been directly developed into the world's largest pirated system. Even Americans who rarely use pirated systems are using the deep-deep pirated system.
This has made Microsoft full of complaints about this matter. If Microsoft had not developed the WINXP system, Gates would have withdrawn from the Computer Association.
What should the American Computer Society do now?
Micron, Seagate, Western Digital and other companies have given the Computer Association of America a suggestion - they hope that the Computer Association will adjust the technical standards of each association member and prohibit the products of all association members from being adapted to carbon crystal hard drives and carbon crystal memories!
The implementation of this suggestion is relatively difficult, as it involves the design of motherboard chips and other manufacturers, and even involves the commercial rules of computers.
But if it is done, it can completely solve the threat of heavenly technology.
