Chapter 311 The tripartite agreement affecting the scientific and technological community (1)
Eric returned to Dell headquarters with the motherboard and carbon crystal memory.
In Dell's laboratory, engineers installed AMD's latest 3000+ chips onto the motherboard and then tested them.
The test results surprised everyone!
The comprehensive capabilities of the AMD3000+ CPU are not as good as Intel's Pentium 4, but the motherboard and memory provided by Changtian Technology seem to be specially tailored for AMD and can best utilize the performance of the chip.
Whether it is CPU calculations or external data exchange, it is very smooth, and it is completely sufficient for ordinary high-performance users.
In other words, this kind of combination can fully meet the needs of the market as long as you are not a super high-performance user.
AMD's CPU is much cheaper than Pentium 4. If Dell uses this model of CPU, its profits will be much greater.
Dell originally planned to obtain carbon crystal memory, but he did not expect that his dream would come true now.
And as Wang Xiang said, Dell is an international company, not a purely American company, and its business cannot be limited to the United States.
Now that AMD has chosen to cooperate with Changtian Technology, it shows that there has been a split within the American Semiconductor Association.
Others can cooperate, why can't I?
Dell CEO Michael looked at the combination of the fast-running Changtian Technology motherboard (Angda), AMD3000+ chip and 1G carbon crystal memory, and was moved.
Once such a configuration comes out, and the price is slightly cheaper than the Pentium 4 processor, it will definitely become a hit in the market.
After long-term research, Dell's marketing department has almost reached a consensus.
At the end of this year, Xia State will join the WTO. According to Xia State's human resource costs, a large number of factories will flood into Xia State. The conditions of Xia State people will get better and better, and the demand for computers will also surge.
Since last year, many Asian countries have also
After recovering from the financial crisis in 2008, the economy is doing great! There will definitely be a golden period of ten to twenty years. These are the prerequisites for the explosion of consumer products such as computers.
If Dell wants to seize this opportunity, it must not take the path of homogeneity. Cooperation with AMD and Changtian Technology is the best choice!
Knowing this clearly, Michael decisively contacted AMD to ask about the specific situation, and then asked Eric to contact Wang Xiang to see if the two parties should meet.
AMD had not yet made up its mind to cooperate with Changtian Technology. Unexpectedly, Dell was actually asking about this matter, and learned that Changtian Technology had actually made a motherboard compatible with AMD!
What are you waiting for!
The two parties hit it off immediately!
Dell CEO Michael and his team, AMD CEO Gervin and senior engineer Schneider and their team rushed from California to New York to meet with Wang Xiang.
This time it was not in a coffee shop, but in a private club.
Whether it is Michael or Gervin, everyone is very cautious.
After all, before the cooperation agreement is reached, it would not be good if the media discovered it and exposed it.
In a small private room in the club, only three people met, and the other staff were outside the room.
Wang Xiang was a little confused at this time, and even sighed.
Two years ago, he was still working as a technical director in Li Delong's factory.
Although the salary and benefits are still good, they are not at the level and structure of today.
He and Chen Xiao spent two years together, founded Kechangtian Technology, and solved every difficulty. Now he is actually negotiating in the same room with the CEOs of two technology giants, Dell and AMD, in the United States.
In life, you really cannot set an upper limit for yourself.
Michael and Gervin looked at Wang Xiang and suddenly realized that they had been "cheated".
The motherboard that supports AMD chips in Michael's hands is actually not authorized by AMD. It is produced privately by Changtian Technology.
Only then did Gervin find out that Dell had not actually reached a cooperation with Changtian Technology.
But what does it matter?
It was only because of a little "deception" that the three of them were able to discuss things in the same room.
Now that we are all together, we must be talking about cooperation.
Wang Xiang also went straight to the point and came up with a cooperation plan.
First, based on products released in October 2001, Changtian Technology's memory will only support AMD chips.
In other words, starting from October, all Intel Pentium 4 processors will not be supported by carbon crystal memory.
Intel's older chips are not within the scope of the restriction.
Second, AMD authorized Changtian Technology’s motherboard chipset, allowing Changtian Technology or Changtian Technology to authorize other companies to produce AMD motherboards.
Third, Changtian Technology and AMD jointly established Changtian Technology Xingrui International Co., Ltd.
AMD Xingrui's Changtian Technology holds 90% of the shares and AMD holds 10% of the shares. The company is mainly responsible for the overseas sales of Changtian Technology's memory and carbon crystal hard drives, but it will not undertake research and development, production and other work.
This matter was set up by Chen Xiao.
Give up 10% of the shares, and we will receive capital financing in the future, etc.
Why do this?
Because now the Xia Kingdom is too weak and the Mi Kingdom is too strong.
If Changtian Technology's products want to be sold abroad, they must give up profits and find overseas allies.
Otherwise, relying on Changtian Technology to fight alone will be very difficult no matter how strong your technical strength is.
Even if you open up the market, you will be stalked by the United States, and winning will take a lot of energy.
Sacrifice a little profit for a broader market.
In this kind of cooperation, Changtian Technology still has a very bottom line. All technologies are not used for transactions. The only transaction is the market.
Moreover, Changtian Technology has not entered the international market to begin with, so it is a good deal to exchange 10% for access to the global market.
If AMD is not given some sweetness, AMD will never cooperate wholeheartedly with Changtian Technology.
If you offer 10% of your shares to Intel, Intel will never accept the offer.
The reason why AMD is willing to cooperate is because of AMD's actual conditions. Its strength is much worse than Intel's. If it climbs the technology tree, AMD has no confidence to surpass Intel in a short time.
But if we can cooperate with Changtian Technology, and with the addition of carbon crystal memory, it is still conceivable to surpass Intel in a short time.
AMD is still very interested in Xingrui International, a joint venture with Changtian Technology, and holds 10% of the shares, which is a lot!
When discussing cooperation with Gervin, Wang Xiang also directly brought an order for 60,000 AMD S3000+ chips from Shenship.
With good future expectations and realistic interests, Gervin agreed to Changtian Technology's plan!
As a support for Changtian Technology, AMD will support Changtian Technology from a technical perspective and oppose the adverse judgment of the American Semiconductor Association against Changtian Technology.
In addition, AMD will use all its resources and connections to help Changtian Technology develop the market for carbon crystal memory.
