"Boss, Chaowei Semiconductor reported that their CPU has received orders from very high-quality manufacturers." Masao Kameda was excited to report.

"I received a lot of them again? This is very good. They are all dual-core 1ghz?" Feng Yu asked back.

"Yes, this is very popular. And Intel has announced that their new CPU will be developed successfully. In less than a month, the market will be filled with all kinds of low-end and cheap netbooks."

Feng Yu waved his hand: "This is normal. If there is a market, there will be profits and it will attract others to do it. Int, in terms of dual-core architecture, it is a little worse than Chaowei, so don't worry. By the way, when will Chaowei's new CPU be made?"

"It will take another two or three months. According to Chaowei's plan, they will develop two types: 1.2ghz and 1.33ghz. The news we have received is Intel and the 1.1ghz dual-core CPU is about to be launched."

Superwei Semiconductor is 1ghz, and Intel has developed 1.1. This is to surpass Superwei in terms of performance. However, Intel is destined to be disappointed because the order for this 1ghz CPU has been scheduled to the end of the year. If it cannot be used at the end of the year, the new CPU will be successfully developed.

At that time, those PC manufacturers will still choose Super Via Semiconductor, and Intel is destined to be pushed to the top in this regard.

"Don't just focus on this low-frequency CPU, and high-performance CPUs must not be behind. Tell them that single-core should not give up. Although CPUs will develop in the direction of multi-core in the future, don't blindly pursue multi-core. Before the dual-core is achieved, you will develop three-core, four-core or even more cores."

Before Feng Yu was reborn, it seemed that no one was interested in the single-core CPU PC. Because few people only opened one or two programs when using computers.

Many people read novels online, listen to music, or chat and play games. They often open multiple programs to minimize them and will not be turned off, which is convenient for use.

Therefore, if there are too many programs opened, the multi-core CPU will show advantages. However, the main frequency is still a very important advantage. Under normal circumstances, dual-core is enough.

"Chowei Semiconductor is still hesitating. They have half developed a new quad-core CPU. After all, this has been developed for a long time. It's a pity to give up now."

"I have studied before, so I will continue to research and launch it on the market after success. I mean, for the time being, our multi-core CPU should not continue to develop towards quad-core or above. It is not yet time. In multi-core products, focus on dual-core first."

Half of research is available, it is better to put it on the market. CPU is now 1.67 to 2.0. The new models researched by Chaowei Semiconductor are all higher than this. When it is temporarily launched, the price will be very high and the sales will not be very good. Even a single core is enough to cope with multiple programs with its powerful performance. If you only open one program, this will be faster.

Therefore, single-core applications must not be given up. Many programs nowadays are single-core optimized, and there are relatively few dual-core applications. However, in the future, multi-core optimization will become better and better, and then the advantages of dual-core will become greater and greater.

"By the way, have you told them whether to reduce power consumption and control heating. These two points are very important. Also, that apu must speed up the R&D speed. If this product is successful, the order will definitely surprise all shareholders of Chaowei."

Apu, a product that integrates CPU and graphics cards, will save space more on future tablets, make the tablet thinner, lower energy consumption, and will not cause overheating.

"Boss, I actually have a question. We received the message that the low-frequency dual-core CPU we are studying on is 1.1ghz, but will this news be fake?" Masao Kameda hesitated.

Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, let alone, this is a question that cannot be ignored.

Intel only said that they developed a new low-frequency dual-core CPU, but did not announce the specific performance parameters. It is really possible that they deliberately concealed it.

The 1.1ghz parameter that Kamenda and his friends have found is likely to be a smokescreen. If Intel directly launches 1.2 or even 1.33, then it will be half a step ahead of Chaowei.

Now Chaowei makes a lot of money with this low-frequency dual-core CPU, and it is even much better than expected. Chaowei definitely doesn't want to let go of this market.

If Intel overtakes at this time, then the loss of Chaowei will be too great. The orders may be very good this year, but next year, they will be suppressed by Intel again as before.

Chaowei also thought of abandoning the research and development of single-core CPUs and investing all technologies into the research and development of multi-core CPUs to increase the level of multi-core products with Intel.

However, this was rejected by Feng Yu.

He does not deny that dual-core or even multi-core will have more advantages in the future, but it is unwise to give up single-core now. After all, in the CPU market at this time, single-core is still mainstream, and dual-core has just emerged.

If the single-core research is abandoned, Intel will monopolize this market, further increasing the profits of Intel's products, allowing them to invest more and more sufficient funds in product research and development.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter if the single core continues to develop new products, but it doesn’t matter if it is a little behind, but it must remain ahead in dual cores. Although multi-core is good, Feng Yu did not intend to let Chaowei enter the core change process of his previous life from one to two, from two to four, and then to eight.

At that time, the CPU of Chaowei seemed to have multiple cores, but in fact, the performance was not very good, otherwise the price would not be that cheap. It also performed worse in terms of energy consumption and heating, far less than that of the Intel i series.

At that time, Chaowei was an eight-core player, but not as good as Intel and had good dual-core performance. So it is not that the more cores, the better, but whether the architecture is excellent and whether the performance is really excellent.

"Beware of this, but don't worry too much. After all, it's not easy for them to quickly come up with mature designs. After they launch, our new products will not be bad. Especially in terms of manufacturing costs, we have more advantages."

Intel has more factories in Europe and the United States and fewer factories in Asia. Under the influence of Feng Yu, Chaowei has invested a lot in building factories in Asia, especially China and India, which is not considered Eastern Europe.

If the performance of both parties is the same, then it is obvious that whoever sells for the lower price will attract more PC manufacturers and consumers. Especially now, Chaowei’s advertising is overwhelming, and everyone now has a concept, that is, Chaowei’s dual-core processor has better performance and higher cost-effectiveness.

Less than half a month after Feng Yu and Masao Kameda talked about this, Inter held a new product launch conference. Sure enough, their product was not 1.1, but 1.2ghz. The news that Masao Kameda received before was the smokescreen they emitted!
