Chapter 488: Online Book

With the successful development of Tai Chi CPU, Yang Xing must come up with a way to avoid the strong pressure of Intel, a big Buddha in the industry. The way he thought of was to take a detour and not directly exchange fire with Intel was to use the netbook in front of him.

He explained to Er Li that if Intel faces the CPU clock frequency, process technology and other parameters of the CPU according to the practices of Cyrix, Centaur and other CPUs before the acquisition, it will only be suppressed by Intel. At that time, Intel launched the Cyron series of low-priced chips, which made the K6 chips that rely on low-priced strategies in Amd were so overwhelming that it also became the main factor that caused Cyrix and Centaur to finally withdraw from the production of X86 architecture CPUs.

As an actual monopoly in the industry, Intel has the right to set standards for the production of CPU motherboards, chipsets, and memory. Later generations can only follow it and run behind it. The only thing that can cause some trouble for Intel is Amd. It has been fighting with Intel for more than ten years and can still challenge Intel in the low-end CPU field. Even Intel made a mistake, Amd has no chance. This is a precedent.

When Yang Xing was just reborn in 1994, Intel's Pentium CPU broke out of a scandal of floating-point operation errors, and things were very big. ibm even announced that it would no longer launch PC products with Pentium CPUs. In the end, Intel was forced to announce the global recall of problematic products, and the scrapping of CPUs alone lost $475 million.

If this is put on any CPU manufacturer, it will probably be in a slump, but Intel has overcome this level safely with its own strength. With its good reputation in the industry and huge market share, Amd, Cyrix, and Centaur have not gained much benefit from this incident. Now Pentium CPU is still Intel's main product and occupies a huge desktop PC market. Therefore, if Tai Chi CPU wants to survive, develop and grow, it must take another way.

The idea that Yang Xing thought of was to reduce the power consumption of Tai Chi CPU, reduce the size, improve the mobility of Tai Chi CPU computers, and focus on the notebook market. It also improves the multimedia processing capabilities of CPU. Now, it is a great addition to Microsoft's Windows Me operating system that focuses on multimedia functions. Of course, the most important point is that Tai Chi CPU has added support for the other wifi wireless Internet technology.

Although the Internet bubble began to burst at this time, there was no objection to the future digital products using wireless Internet technology. With the help of the Internet, it can perform functions beyond the original design. Many new concept products are in their infancy and are waiting to be released.

But there are also strong conservative forces in the IT industry. Many long-standing big companies have been undecided about using the Internet. The Nasdaq collapse has deepened their hesitation. Many companies, including Microsoft, have missed the opportunity to take the Internet shuttle bus.

Yang Xing, who has rebirth experience, certainly doesn't think so. When he first entered the IT industry, he set a strategy to fully develop digital information technology with the Internet as the core. In China, Nebula Electronics and Star Dynamic Network have vigorously promoted the construction of the national fiber-optic trunk network, and have successfully achieved the goal of using fiber optics and high-speed Internet access between several major star cities. Now Hong Kong has laid dedicated China-US submarine fiber cables. It can be said that the group is scattered between branches and head offices around the world. Through these fiber optic networks, the bottleneck problem of high-speed information transmission has been basically solved.

In the field of wireless Internet access that Yang Xing is most concerned about, in addition to actively promoting the upgrading of domestic 3G networks, wifi and wimax technologies with great development potential are also the key research objects of Nebula Electronics. Nebula Electronics is now one of the members of the International Wi-Fi Alliance and Wimax Forum, and is making full use of these identities to actively promote its own standards as industry standards.

With wireless transmission technology, a suitable signal receiver is needed. The smart home plan demonstrated at the Zhongxing International World Conference last year was to use a unified wifi receiving chip to achieve the effect of all electrical appliances being connected and entering the Internet. With these experiences, it is natural to build wifi for Tai Chi CPU.

In fact, this is not an innovation. As long as Intel wakes up, it will soon adopt wifi. In his previous life, Intel launched the wireless Internet access technology of laptops in 2003, it quickly promoted the wifi function and became the standard configuration for most digital products. Yang Xing just did it early and made the time difference, leading Intel.

Since Yang Xing first added multimedia processing capabilities and wifi Internet access functions at the beginning of the design of the "Tai Chi" CPU. Li Zekai and Li Xianyang personally operated the netbook and walked around the house. As expected, they could perform various Internet access operations perfectly anytime and anywhere, without worrying about disconnection.

What's more, this netbook also has many functions specially developed by Xingdong Network, such as office data processing, online streaming media, playing online games, receiving online education, etc. They still haven't finished it after using it for a long time. And it's not Yang Xing reminding them that they haven't noticed it yet. From beginning to end, all their operations can be completed with a web browser called skimer (viewer) developed by Xingdong Network.

Xingdong Network has recently suffered from the integrated software of instant messaging, streaming media players, search engines, online software stores and other software integrated on the original website, plus the launch of services such as email, Internet phone, video sharing and community dating, which has caused overwhelming and confusion in the subject.

After repeated discussions, the company decided to make a major revision, dividing the website into three parts. First, it took QQ communication as the core, integrates functions such as email, online video communication, video sharing and dating, and community web games to create a social networking website similar to the previous life of Tencent and Facebook.

Secondly, we took advantage of the opportunity of Xinghai Trade to open an online store to merge the online software application store and opened an online comprehensive store that integrates b2b, c2c and b2c]. With the Star Store, the third-party payment platform of Xingbao and other virtual currency methods, it can not only sell virtual software, but also directly trade physical goods online, becoming a comprehensive e-commerce website integrating Amazon and Yibei.

Finally, it is centered on Spark Search Engine, using the skimer browser, and the page includes instant news, online office, streaming on-demand, and interactive knowledge Q&A sharing platform similar to Wikipedia. The style is close to Google in its previous life. The three websites penetrate each other and only need a little to transfer. The skimer browser on the netbook is the latest version specially developed. Er Li has deeply experienced its convenience and is amazed.

"Using skimer browser and with Windows Me, the netbook will not lose at least in basic operations. The key is that the manufacturing cost of this netbook is less than 700 US dollars, and I can control its price to be no more than 1,000 US dollars!" Yang Xing's words immediately made Er Li's eyes shine with a greedy light.

They are all businessmen, so they can naturally hear the mystery of this. In the industry, they are generally recognized that laptops have the most profits in computer manufacturing. At this time, an ordinary desktop computer is still at the level of 10,000 yuan. In comparison, smaller laptops are also more expensive. The cheapest one is about 15,000 yuan, and the gap between the cheapest desktop and the most expensive laptop is more than ten times (8,000 yuan vs. 8,000 yuan)!

Moreover, in laptop manufacturing, there has always been a saying that the thinner and smaller the more expensive it is. After all, concentrating a large number of computer accessories into a netbook-sized body has extremely high requirements for the manufacturer's design and manufacturing level. Moreover, laptops have more stringent requirements for heat dissipation and energy saving than desktops, and their performance is much weaker than desktops. Therefore, at this time, the mainstream computer sales are still desktops, and laptops are regarded as high-profile luxury accessories.

However, the performance of the netbook that Yang Xing brought out is not worse than that of mainstream laptops, and it has advantages in multimedia and Internet access. Moreover, it is small, light and light. Er Li believes that it is worth at least 20,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, Yang Xing actually said that the cost is less than half of their psychological price, which completely subverts their perception. If it is really launched, it will definitely be a bombshell for the laptop market!

Thanks to the domestic low labor costs, the major international laptop manufacturing bases have gathered in China in recent years. As early as last year, Lenovo, the domestically produced a Zhaoyang laptop worth 9,999 yuan, and pushed the laptop to less than 10,000 yuan. Now, the netbook of Superstar Computer is undoubtedly a price killer. With such a low price, it can be imagined to cause a sensation. No wonder Bill Gates agreed to sell Windows Me to Superstar Computer. But they also thought that this curved way to save the country would be hidden from Intel for a while, but once it wakes up, it will not be difficult to take out similar CPUs. At that time, the future of Tai Chi CPUs is still slim?

"So I want to add another layer of protective cover to our netbook. We not only need to find an excellent salesman, but also package this netbook as a charity project, so that Intel can't directly suppress us under the pressure of public opinion, and give Tai Chi CPUs and netbooks a breath of breath to grow and grow." Yang Xing handed them a book, pointed to the cover of the book and said to them.

Er Li looked at the author's name below the Chinese name "Digital Survival" on the page and couldn't help but smile, "Is Nicholas Negroponte? This idea is really good." Li Zekai nodded with satisfaction.
