Intel Corporation and Dream Entertainment Company collaborated to launch the first-generation personal game server, achieving impressive sales figures and shocking the world with profits.
However, the popularity of the first-generation personal game servers has become an obstacle to the release of the second-generation personal game servers. Under normal circumstances, although computer products are updated very quickly, it still takes at least a year no matter how fast it is.
.
The Tick-Tock strategic development model proposed by Intel this year is based on a one-year cycle, with one year representing Tick and one year representing Tock. Although Intel's expectations are very good, in fact, it released the i series in 2008
After the processor, Intel became very unreliable.
The performance gap between the first-generation i-series processors and the second-generation i-series processors is less than 10%. This weak improvement plan has been the same until the fourth-generation i-series processors, resulting in
Players have very little desire to upgrade.
The current relationship between the second-generation personal game server and the first-generation personal game server is also in the same situation. Players’ desire to upgrade is not high. After all, the release time between the two is less than two months, and the time gap is too long.
Short!
In order to force users to upgrade, Intel's method is very disgusting, which is to change the pin interface type of the central processor. The interface type of central processors in different eras is LGA775, followed by LGA1156, then LGA1155, and the latest LGA1150.
There are high-end LGA1366, LGA2011, etc.
It is precisely because of Intel's disgusting behavior that it has driven a series of industrial chains, forcing users to upgrade their motherboards when upgrading their central processors. As a result, the motherboard chipsets produced by Intel have also gained huge sales.
In order to sell the second-generation personal game server, Shi Lei is also planning to learn from Intel and conduct bundled sales. Dream Entertainment Company will impose restrictions on VR game helmets and must use the second-generation personal game server. Otherwise, even if you purchase VR
The gaming helmet also cannot be used normally.
On the other end of the phone, Feng Feng heard that the VR game helmet would be bundled with the second-generation personal game server. Feng Feng immediately asked: "Mr. Shi, is the second-generation personal game server produced by AMD?"
Dream Entertainment acquired AMD, and there has been no explosive news since then. AMD is still operating smoothly. AMD's products have not conducted any sales activities related to World of Brave.
Such a situation has led players to believe that Dream Entertainment will not launch a second-generation personal game server for the time being. Until now, Shi Lei has personally stated that Dream Entertainment will choose to bundle the second-generation personal game server with a VR game helmet.
style sales.
"Well! We acquired AMD, naturally to sell personal game servers ourselves." Shi Lei said bluntly, speaking to Feng without any scruples.
Feng Feng was hesitant to speak, and said coquettishly: "Mr. Shi, AMD's strength is somewhat, um, AMD's..."
Shi Lei interrupted the storm and said with a smile: "Is it that AMD's technical strength is far inferior to Intel's? Will the personal game servers produced by AMD be worse than Intel's in terms of performance?"
AMD's technical strength is indeed a little worse than Intel's. Although the two companies compete fiercely in the personal user market, AMD even has an advantage in some low-end markets. But Intel's overall technical strength is stronger.
Especially in the commercial field, Intel can sell a server central processor for the price of a car, which AMD cannot do anyway.
The central processor used in personal game servers is a server-level central processor, which is AMD's traditional weakness. It is quite normal to be questioned by the storm.
For high-end players, it is not impossible to change their personal game servers. But if the performance of the second-generation personal game server is not as good as that of the first-generation personal game server, does this make them feel uncomfortable?
"Ah haha~" Feng Feng laughed dryly, and Shi Lei fully expressed what he wanted to express.
"Don't worry about this! We have never denied that AMD is slightly weaker, but the gap between the two sides is limited. Through our technical support, the overall performance of the second-generation personal game server will be improved by at least 50%.
Above!" Shi Lei vowed.
In the era of 2007, the gap between AMD and Intel was far less huge than in later generations. In the following years, Intel relied on its huge total capital and invested a huge amount of R&D funds, thus far surpassing AMD.
The company was left behind.
"Really?" Storm asked in surprise.
Fifty percent improvement, this is a huge improvement! The upgraded version of many products has an improvement rate of less than 20%. Whether it is the computer industry or other industries, basically there will be no leapfrog development.
.
Once the one-time upgrade is in place, users will have no desire to upgrade!
"Don't worry, this is my promise!" Shi Lei responded with a smile.
"What about the price of the second-generation personal game server?" Feng Feng did not express any doubts. Shi Lei's credibility with the outside world was still relatively high.
Shi Lei thought about it for a while, and finally decided that the second-generation personal game server would still maintain the same price as the first-generation server to make it easier for players to accept it.
However, in order to express more sincerity, Shi Lei decided to collectively increase the price of each grade of second-generation personal game servers by one dollar, rounding it up to a round number.
The original lowest-end, high-end personal game server was priced at US$1,999. After adjusting the price, it was US$2,000. The real selling price did not play the frivolous "more than a thousand US dollars" word game.
"In terms of selling price, based on the first-generation personal game server, we will increase the price appropriately. After all, the performance has improved by as much as 50%, and the cost pressure has increased a lot." Shi Lei did not directly explain the situation to Feng Feng.
Storm is also mentally prepared. The performance of the second-generation personal game server has been greatly improved, and a slight increase in price is acceptable.
"It is appropriate to increase the price. After the pre-sale system on the official website is opened, I will reserve a hundred sets of God-sent level personal game servers. By the way, Mr. Shi, does AMD accept private reservations for personal game servers? I want to reserve a higher-performance personal game server."
A good personal game server." Feng Feng asked Shi Lei about the specific situation.
The first-generation personal game server currently used by Storm is customized by Intel Corporation. Its performance far exceeds the official top-end God-given personal game server.
Shi Lei didn't have any special restrictions on players' private customization. AMD could fully accept reservations. After receiving a positive answer, Feng Feng chatted with Shi Lei about World of Brave and then hung up the phone.
Shi Lei put down his phone and thought carefully about the 'bad idea' provided by Feng Feng. It must be said that Feng Feng's suggestion was very good. If Feng Feng hadn't mentioned it, Shi Lei would not have thought of the evil trick of pre-sale.
"Feng Feng is a talent!" Shi Lei praised to himself, but unfortunately Feng Feng's background was too big to join Dream Entertainment Company.
Shi Lei once again opened the backend of Dream Entertainment's web server and wrote the source code himself. He planned to develop a pre-sale system according to Feng Feng's suggestion.
Through this pre-sale system, players can reserve VR gaming helmets in advance, but if they want to purchase a VR gaming helmet, they must pay the full price for the reservation.
Nearly half an hour later, Shi Lei, with the cooperation of Yi Zuer, completed the preparation of the pre-sale system. The payment method of the pre-sale system adopted the Dreamer payment system of Dream Entertainment. It is convenient for players from all over the world to make reservations.
"Yizur, stress test the online pre-sale system to see if there are any loopholes." Shi Lei ordered Yizuer to conduct the test. Yizuer's highly anthropomorphic logical thinking program is very effective in stress testing the program.
Zul can easily test the vulnerability of the program.
About ten minutes later, Yi Zuer issued a prompt. "Sir, after 1.67 million tests, the system automatically fixed three bugs and successfully passed the stress test."
After Yizuer discovers the loophole, it will automatically repair it. If Yizuer cannot repair it independently, Shi Lei will be notified to deal with it. Yizuer is an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system. In addition to having no innovation ability and independent emotions, it is different from real
There are basically not many differences among human beings.
Shi Lei nodded and looked at the time. It was now Xia Kingdom time, 10:18 in the morning. Shi Lei immediately set the time. The pre-sale system will be released at 10:20.
This time the release time of the pre-sale system has finally returned to the "Xia Kingdom Time", and Dream Entertainment Company no longer has to be ridiculed as an "overseas company" by players.
June 19, 10:20 am.
On the homepage of the official website of Dream Entertainment, a picture advertisement appeared. In the picture, a black matte fully enclosed helmet looked very futuristic and technological.
On the outside of the matte black fully enclosed helmet, there is a long mirror LED display. In the display interface, dark blue text displays some basic information, including the remaining battery level of the helmet and the data connection stability percentage.
and remote connection status.
On the top of the black matte fully enclosed helmet, there is a button with a flashing blue light, which is engraved with the "power" logo. There is a text introduction next to it. This button is not only a power switch, but also a wake-up button, which can remind you that the game is in progress.
Player, someone from outside is calling.
Below the picture advertisement, using eye-catching bold blue text, a hyperlink is marked - VR gaming helmet pre-sale!
