Intel Corporation has been relatively low-key recently, mainly because Chaowei Eagle Weida's products are very beautiful, and it has surpassed Intel in technology.

Whether it is dual-core or quad-core, Chaowei Eagle Weida is one step ahead. It also cooperates with Formosa Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in the production process, and is one step ahead of them in 45NM technology.

Intel was the first to do 90NM, and 65NM is also ahead. Who would have thought that Chaowei Eagle Weida could cooperate with Formosa Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.?

It is normal for a semiconductor company specializing in manufacturing to lead the world in manufacturing technology. Intel and Chaowei Eagle Weida not only manufacture, but also do hardware research and development, which also consumes a lot of their energy and money.

What makes Intel even more dissatisfied is that Chaowei Eagle Weida is obviously imitating them for industrial layout. From fabs to assembly plants, from CPUs to chipsets, what they do, Chaowei Yingweida does what they do, and now even data centers and solutions have begun to dabble.

What Intel was seized was not only the CPU and other hardware markets, but also some technical solution markets where they were far ahead.

If it weren't for their advantages in mid-to-low-end integrated graphics cards and chipsets, Intel's market share in CPUs and graphics cards would probably be overtaken by Chaowei Eagle Weida.

In desperation, they chose to join forces with ATI, and were bitten by ATI, resulting in Intel's integrated graphics card being completely defined as a low-end graphics card, and the price dropped again and again.

Intel sometimes also thinks about it, since when did Chaowei Eagle Weida not be able to suppress it? Did it start with the merger of these two businesses?

It seems that there are more than that. The real time started when Zhiduoxing began to invest in the semiconductor business.

Ever since Zhiduoxing invested in two companies, Chaowei and Yingweida, and has not yet helped the two companies merge, some core businesses of Intel have been challenged.

But Intel didn't take the two companies seriously at the time, because Intel's computer CPU market share exceeded 85% at that time, and was once close to 90%. If it weren't for the suspected monopoly, they would have fought a price war at that time, and they would have definitely defeated Chaowei at that time.

In terms of graphics cards, Intel also occupied more than 60% of the market share at that time, and the rest was divided by other semiconductor companies. Among them, Eagle Weida was not ranked, even in the field of independent display, it was not as good as on ATI.

However, in just a few years, both Chaowei and Eagle Weida have developed rapidly, and later merged directly, and started to do business such as chipsets (motherboards), and their market share has been rising steadily.

Intel's products were forced to cut prices,

In the past two years, the price of their products has dropped by more than 40%. In this way, they have lost a large market share, which has been snatched away by Chaowei Eagle Weida and ATI, and ATI is still the British Special partner.

During this period, Intel also made counterattacks. Every time they felt that they were going to succeed, Chaowei Eagle Weida would come up with better technology and better products, always pressing Intel.

If this development continues, Intel will share the hardware product market equally with Chaowei Eagle Weida. And not only in the PC market, but also in the server market, machine tool CNC center market, etc.

But this time, Intel is going to fight back. Their counterattack failed last year, because Chaowei Yingwei launched the K10, a quad-core CPU, which once again shocked the market and received a large order.

Fortunately, Chaowei Yingweida's products are slightly behind in notebook CPUs, allowing Intel to save face. Moreover, Intel's data center and other revenues are very high. At present, in terms of profit alone, Chaowei is still far behind.

However, if the market share continues to decline, resulting in a reversal of status, Intel's dominant position will cease to exist, and many businesses will also be affected.

This time, Intel not only announced their new quad-core processor, but also adopted a new instruction set for faster execution efficiency. And because it will be made with 45NM technology, it can also effectively reduce energy consumption and effectively reduce the appearance size of the product, which is suitable for notebooks and other products.

There is no way, who let Intel and even Dell, the largest customer, fail to fully grasp it. Dell has announced that it has purchased CPUs and chipsets from Chaowei Eagle Weida. This is the leader of the PC industry, which also represents a wind direction , They really can't suppress the super-powerful Eagle Weida.

But fortunately, they have launched a series of low-end processors and chipsets before. With very low prices, they have seized many markets and affected the sales of Chaowei Eagle Weida products.

In fact, many PC manufacturers also like these low-end products. They can launch some netbooks, office notebooks and so on. They don’t require powerful performance, as long as they can meet the basic functions. The important thing is that the price is still cheap.

Many people have five hundred dollars, and they can obviously buy a desktop computer with good performance, or even DIY their own to ensure that the performance is moderate, but they want to buy a laptop computer.

At this price, don’t expect any good performance, and most of them are girls. They don’t require any powerful performance. They look good, have low noise, and are lighter. If it’s a big brand, it’s even better. alright.

So Intel adjusted some strategies and launched more low-end notebook chipsets, occupying the market very well.

On the other hand, PC manufacturers can increase sales and increase market share, and secondly, they can also cultivate the market. Those who use these low-end notebooks will definitely need to replace them within two years, and they will continue to increase their sales in the future.

Different PC manufacturers have different key layouts, and some shortcut keys are also different. If you are used to one brand, you must have a period of discomfort when switching to another brand.

Relying on the support of PC manufacturers on notebook computers, Intel still ensures that its market share exceeds 55%, and it will not continue to be encroached by Chaowei Eagle Weida.

But the bigger market is still desktops. It is impossible for them to watch the Superpower Eagle Weida become the leader in the desktop computer market, so they have a new product architecture plan to surpass the Superpower Eagle Weida in performance in one fell swoop.

This time, their technology has made a breakthrough, which can have stronger computing power, and they have also made a breakthrough in the old architecture scheme. Using some new technologies and new processes ensures the improvement of product performance.

Moreover, during this period of time, Intel had to do a lot of advertisements around the world, promoting their Core series processors, etc., so that consumers can also think of their CPUs and motherboards when they assemble machines.

Just when Intel was about to announce their new products, Chaowei Eagle Weida held a new product launch conference, announcing that the fusion product APU they had been secretly developing was successful, and now they are accepting reservations.
