. Tom Crusey slowly explained the conditions he had discussed with Kira Katara, "Mr. Shi, our AMD conditions have been adjusted as follows. First, our AMD company will help you dream for free.
Entertainment Co., Ltd. provides a supercomputer as a server. The computing performance of the supercomputer is not less than 10TFLop/s. Secondly, our AMD company will provide a supercomputer operating system for this supercomputer free of charge. Thirdly, we
AMD will hold a press conference to announce its cooperation with Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. to enhance the visibility of Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. Fourth, we, AMD, will provide free supercomputer maintenance services to Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd."
After stating all the conditions in one breath, Tom Cruci asked: "Mr. Shi, are the conditions offered by our AMD company sufficient sincerity for cooperation?"
Listening to the four conditions mentioned by Tom Cruise, Shi Lei's original sleepiness disappeared because AMD's new round of cooperation conditions are simply great!
A supercomputer with a computing performance of 10 TFLop/s costs at least 200 million yuan in Xia Guo; a corresponding supercomputer operating system costs at least 10 million Xia Guoyuan; as for AMD, it held a press conference to announce its cooperation with Xia Guo
Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. officially cooperates to enhance the popularity of Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd., which is of great benefit to Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. After all, AMD has a high reputation around the world, and Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. is far
Far inferior to AMD.
AMD's new round of cooperation conditions seems to be to unilaterally grant benefits to Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. The so-called cooperation must achieve mutual benefit and reciprocity before it is possible to promote cooperation.
It is difficult to successfully cooperate if one party benefits only, unless there are huge external factors. But Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. and AMD, how can there be any external factors?
Shi Lei is very sensible. He knows AMD's corresponding requirements and has not spoken out yet. "Mr. Tom, I think I am very clear about AMD's sincerity in cooperation! However, what does AMD need from us, Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd.?
What’s the cost?”
Tom Cruise chuckled lightly, "Mr. Shi, what our AMD company needs will not embarrass you. First, we need 100,000 closed beta invitation codes for "World of Brave". This requirement should be very simple.
Is it done? Second, we need "World of Brave" to optimize the design of our AMD CPU and graphics card to improve the game performance of the A platform. Third, we need Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. to hold a press conference to announce a partnership with AMD
Cooperate and give priority to recommending AMD CPUs and graphics cards."
After hearing these three requests, Shi Lei sneered in his heart. I'm afraid these are just basic requirements. After all, the above requirements are absolutely incomparable to the price paid by AMD in terms of essential value.
Although one hundred thousand "World of Brave" closed beta invitation codes are worth one billion yuan based on current calculations, a large number of closed beta invitation codes put into the market will definitely cause the price of closed beta invitation codes to drop significantly. Therefore, one hundred thousand
No one can tell how much the closed beta invitation code is worth.
However, the supercomputer provided by AMD is a real thing worth 200 million yuan!
"Mr. Tom, your AMD company can't only have these three requirements, right? If you only have these three requirements, then our Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. can agree to you now!" Shi Lei did not intend to beat around the bush and responded directly.
Tom Cruise said quickly: "Mr. Shi is indeed very clear. We have one more important request. Regarding the "World of Brave" closed beta invitation code, after it is sold together with our AMD products, how can our actual sales be?
What an increase!"
Shi Lei asked in surprise: "Mr. Tom, when you talk about the sales situation, is it CPU or graphics card?"
"Both together!" Tom Cruise responded.
"Mr. Tom, with all due respect, in the field of graphics cards, AMD seems to sell graphics card chips, and then other graphics card manufacturers do secondary processing before selling them, right?" Shi Lei was quite familiar with AMD's situation, AMD's largest business
They just sell CPUs. As for graphics card equipment, they are an upstream manufacturer that only sells graphics card chips and does not do direct sales to users.
"Regarding the issue of graphics cards, we will allocate a portion of the closed beta invitation code share, and the downstream graphics card manufacturers will make a specific sales plan according to the rules we have formulated, and then refer to the sales volume of the downstream graphics card manufacturers." Tom.
.Clusi responded.
Although AMD does not directly sell graphics card equipment, there are many graphics card manufacturers that use AMD graphics chips!
"Mr. Tom, please tell me about the specific situation." Shi Lei wanted to hear AMD's specific plan.
Tom Cruise began to explain, "Mr. Shi, regarding the invitation code for the closed beta test of "World of Brave", after we launch the matching sales, the total sales volume of our AMD CPU equipment hopes to increase by 100.
As a graphics card manufacturer, we at AMD have initially selected three partners, MSI, ASUS, and Sapphire. We hope that the total sales volume of these three partners will increase by more than 50%."
Tom Cruise took a breath and continued: "According to the schedule reference proposed by Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd., "World of Brave" will be officially closed and tested on April 30, so we at AMD hope that this will
Within four months, our expected goal will be achieved in at least three months. If our expected goal is reached, then all four conditions promised by AMD can be implemented. If the expected goal is not reached, it will be calculated based on the specific percentage.
, your Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. needs to compensate our AMD company for the cost of the supercomputer and operating system."
Shi Lei frowned slightly. AMD's calculations were indeed very precise. This gambling agreement was extremely beneficial to AMD. If they achieved their expected goals, then a mere supercomputer would be worth 200 million yuan, which is the same as AMD's.
Compared to doubling CPU sales and making profits, it is nothing.
Not to mention that there are three largest graphics card manufacturers in the AMD camp. The increase in their shipments will naturally increase AMD's orders, thus creating more value for AMD.
But this gambling agreement is also extremely beneficial to Shi Lei. If "World of Brave" is really that powerful and can allow AMD to achieve its predetermined goals, then Shi Lei will at least save the cost of a supercomputer and the cost of a supercomputer system.
invest.
But are the goals set by AMD really that easy to achieve?
Even though Shi Lei is not a professional market analyst or statistician, Shi Lei still knows a fact.
The total capacity of the market is limited, and there will be no unwarranted surge. It is basically impossible to suddenly increase sales by 100. Even though Shi Lei is full of confidence in "World of Brave", Shi Lei still maintains a clear head.
The CPU market is very single, either AMD or Intel, and is not as chaotic as the graphics card market. Although there are only two camps in the graphics card market, either AMD or nVIDIA, these two camps do not sell graphics cards directly to users, but consist of a large number of
Graphics card manufacturers purchase graphics card chips from them, process them, and then sell them to users.
There are a lot of good and bad graphics card manufacturers, big and small. There are about thirty or so of them that are somewhat famous, and there are even more that are not famous. Such a messy market gives MSI, Asus, and Sapphire, the three old powerhouses, more room to play.
.
MSI and ASUS don’t need to explain too much. Everyone knows their strength. Before ATI was acquired by AMD, Sapphire produced original graphics cards for ATI, which means they are ATI’s official cards. As you can imagine,
Sapphire is also very powerful and is second to none in the AMD graphics card camp.
In such a chaotic graphics card market, it is not a big problem for three powerful graphics card manufacturers to increase their sales by 50%.
But in the CPU market, AMD and Intel, the two giants, are fighting bare-chested. There are only these two giants in the CPU market. There is only so much market share. AMD wants to rely on the mere invitation code for the closed beta test of "World of Brave".
Providing 100 sales is not because Shi Lei underestimates "World of Brave", but because World of Brave is really not good.
If it were a neurosensory game, it would be possible to achieve this level, but somatosensory games are really powerless!
After Shi Lei's rough analysis, he came to an answer, that is, "World of Brave" cannot achieve that level. AMD's new cooperation plan cannot be agreed to either, otherwise it will definitely die miserably!
"Mr. Tom, your AMD company's conditions are a bit too high!" Shi Lei responded: "We at Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. can consider agreeing to the conditions for graphics card sales. But you should know better than me about the situation in the CPU market.
, if we want to achieve a sales increase of 100, I just want to say that it is impossible. This gambling agreement is unfair to our Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. and needs to be revised."
In the personal computer consumer market, in 2007, AMD's share was close to 40%. If this sales volume doubled, what would be the concept? Wouldn't that directly compress Intel to an absolute disadvantage?
Tom Cruise obviously also knew that a 100 increase in CPU market sales was a fantasy. He responded: "Mr. Shi, what do you think Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. should do to modify it?".
