Chapter 514 How Much Technology Was Hidden in the Leather-Clad Warehouse?
While they were wondering, a representative from the Ministry of National Defense stepped forward:
"To ensure the success of the project, AMD will also receive support, with the funding split 50/50."
However, this is only for the first six months. After that, we will further increase support for those whose technological achievements are superior.
Qualcomm and AMD exchanged another glance, both understanding that this stemmed from a lack of trust in them, hence the need to…
Soon, the Qualcomm representative's eyes lit up; this was certainly a good thing.
After all, Qualcomm has also done good things for Transsion.
So when they finished announcing the plan, Qualcomm's representative immediately stood up.
"We can take on this task."
"But it takes time and sufficient resources."
"The development of desktop GPUs is very complex. As newcomers, it will take us at least two years to come up with our first comparable product."
"Two years is too long." The National Security Advisor rejected the plan outright.
"One and a half years, at most one and a half years."
Funding, talent, patents—all resources are available to you.
AMD is already secretly laughing; Qualcomm, a newcomer, has simply gotten an opportunity...
In the end, only AMD will emerge victorious in this battle, since how could a company that only makes mobile SoCs possibly make a GPU?
……
As expected, after the meeting, Amd's representatives were received by the Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense.
Although it's unclear what they discussed, AMD clearly received substantial benefits.
Almost immediately after the meeting ended, a top-priority R&D task notification was officially issued to the two companies.
The American semiconductor industry also stopped bickering and joined the fray.
……
At the same time, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation in Guangzhou soon received information that Qualcomm and AMD were going to make desktop graphics cards.
"America has finally realized what's happening."
He handed the report to Lao Huang and Li Jiahui, who were sitting next to him.
"That's good, it's more interesting when there are rivals."
Of course, Shen Fei just smiled after saying that, after all, there's a joke in later generations that the greatest significance of AMD's existence is...
Great value for money!
Of course, this high cost-performance ratio doesn't refer to its graphics card, but rather that its existence allows everyone to buy Nvidia cards at a lower price!
After reviewing the plan, Leather Jacket Huang was somewhat disdainful, since only AMD could compete.
But can the promises in this report really be fulfilled? After all, he knows America's efficiency in execution...
"Boss, these two are nothing to worry about."
Huang, dressed in leather jacket, glanced at Shen Fei's expression; clearly, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the answer.
However, he also knew that this was not a questioning of his skills, but a warning to his attitude.
After all, one shouldn't be too arrogant, so he immediately stood up straight and solemnly said:
"Boss, our team isn't getting cocky."
"Because the GTX 980 is technology from our lab that's only three years old."
"We still have six generations of technology reserves, and we can complete a technology iteration almost every six months."
The chip frequency has now been pushed up to 4.2GHz... the performance has increased many times over.
"Boss, if it's really as some netizens say, that you're a reincarnated being, then if you came back from 2018, the publicly available technology you bring out might not actually be as advanced as the technology I have in my inventory."
After making that joke, Lao Huang became serious again.
After all, technology is always the foundation of communication, and he will never forget that.
Shen Fei nodded in satisfaction once again after receiving this answer. It seems that what netizens in later generations said was right...
Old Huang has really hidden a lot.
I just don't know, if we take out the 5090 now... it should be able to hold its own.
"In that case, let's release it as scheduled."
The Maxwell architecture has been announced, and research and development of next-generation technologies continues. The next generation could consider a 10-nanometer process, which is expected to achieve a breakthrough at the foundry soon.
"clear."
That being said, Lao Huang did some quick calculations and realized that it would take at least 6 years, until 2020, to digest all this inventory.
A 10nm graphics card in 2020 shouldn't be considered excessive.
As for users, as long as the performance is sufficient, they don't care how many nanometers the chip is.
…………
Meanwhile, across the ocean, after listening to the report, Steve Mollenkopf decided to cooperate with Transsion without any hesitation.
After all, the other party wanted to be wary of him from the beginning, but they had to give them face due to their strength.
In that case, he'll have to put in a good effort. Money is one thing, but he has to get his revenge.
So that evening he chose a suitable time to call Shen Fei.
"Mr. Steve, what prompted you to call me?"
"Mr. Shen, you should know Qualcomm's attitude towards this matter of countering Transsion."
I am truly unworthy of such a respectful address.
Steve Mollenkopf's tone was extremely low, even lower than his usual international demeanor, which was completely unlike...
"Oh! I do know about their attitude; it's indeed quite good."
For example, sending K1 chips to Lenovo and Surge chips to rice.
Shouldn't the next one be...?
Shen Fei flipped through the report and finally found the name.
"Should we send this to Lu Mingyuan next?"
Steve Mollenkopf felt a chill run down his spine on the other end of the phone. It seemed that the telepathic communication was very aware of their little tricks.
Even if they were bypassed at the board meeting, it seems...
So he decided to stop pretending.
"Mr. Shen, there are some things that are beyond my control."
After all, I'm just a professional manager.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
Just as he was explaining, Shen Fei interrupted him. After all, what he had just said was just to teach the other party a lesson. His real purpose was to see what the other party wanted to say.
Will I make the right choice?
"President Shen, you just demonstrated the other party's strong intelligence capabilities, so let me tell you something different."
Regarding the graphics card issue, the United States has indeed launched a corresponding countermeasure plan.
But to save face, we didn't directly ban your imports this time. I've also heard some rumors that once AMD makes a breakthrough, then... they'll definitely find an excuse.
"You don't need to say these nonsense, we already know them."
Furthermore, I know that we need to support Qualcomm and AMD to compete with Nvidia.
Steve Mollenkopf on the other end of the phone laughed awkwardly. He had painstakingly gathered a lot of information about this, but the telepathic communication knew it all!
What has this been infiltrated into?
A sieve?
"The 'breeding the gu' model relies on competition for motivation."
"That's what I think too," Steve Mollenkopf chimed in. "But we don't want to be the dead worm; we want to be the players on the new chessboard."
