"Mr. Medek, I wonder how the performance of AMD's new products compares with Intel's new products?" Kony Dean asked again.

“I don’t know how Intel’s products perform, but our new generation of products will bring about a qualitative leap.

If you want to know how Intel's chips perform, you can wait until next June to buy them and compare them.

But I believe users are more willing to buy AMD's new products." Medek Clyde replied.

...

Although the press conference is still going on.

But news of the conference has already reached Craig Barrett’s ears.

"The damn traitor actually cooperated with Kirin Elite and licensed x86. How dare this idiot Medek do this?" Craig Barrett cursed.

But he quickly calmed down.

How could Medek cooperate with Qilin without the approval of the board of directors?

There must be something he doesn't know about.

Craig Barrett calms down and connects the dots of recent events.

"How is this possible?" Craig Barrett asked in surprise.

Without saying anything, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of one of the directors.

"Craig, what's the matter?"

"Why are AMD allowed to cooperate with Kirin?"

"I wanted to tell you about this later, but since you called me to ask, I'll tell you now.

Kirin Group will launch the 45nm process in the middle of next year, and they have developed a replacement for abf.

In addition, Kirin Group has also developed the latest DDR3 memory.

We can no longer stop the Kirin Group.

In order to stabilize the entire industry, we exchanged interests with Kirin and obtained part of the 45nm production capacity from Kirin.

At that time, we will allocate part of the production capacity to Intel, and you can ask the people below to develop 45nm CPUs.

Just keep what I said to you in your heart.

If this news leaks out, I think you should know the consequences."

Craig Barrett was completely stunned when he heard the news.

This Kirin Group is too powerful.

No wonder the trading volume of stocks in the semiconductor sector is so large. It turns out that these people are preparing for the failure of negotiations.

If news of the failure of the negotiations reaches the market, stocks in the semiconductor sector will surely plummet.

But by that time, they had already run away.

"I understand." Craig Barrett said and hung up the phone.

...

At this time, the call auction of the lighthouse country's stock market has ended.

The fruit gapped down thirty-five points.

AMD gapped up seven points.

Intel fell five points.

The reason why fruits have fallen so much is because capital and retail investors are collectively shorting.

AMD's rise is due to their cooperation with Kirin.

In addition to being able to produce 65nm chips ahead of schedule, they also have access to Kirin's technology.

Although AMD cannot surpass Intel this year, they believe they will be able to surpass it next year.

Because AMD has obtained new technology from Kirin.

....

at the same time.

Information about AMD's press conference spread on the Internet.

"AMD actually launched a new product ahead of Intel. This is really the first time."

"I think the cooperation between Kirin and AMD is the most amazing thing. Kirin's products are so far ahead of AMD, so there is no need for Kirin to cooperate with AMD."

"Some things can't just be taken at face value. You also have to look at other reasons. AMD must have paid some unknown price."

"I believe it won't be long before Kirin Computer will be launched in Europe."

"I have the same premonition as upstairs."

"So what if Kirin's products are launched in Europe? Kirin computers will definitely cost more than a thousand dollars. This price is simply unaffordable. Why not check out AMD's new products?"

"AMD's K7 is already so powerful, K8 will definitely surpass Intel's, but the most important thing is that AMD is cheap."

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lighthouse Country, Saturday, December 11, 2005, at nine o'clock in the morning.

In the past three days, Intel's stock price fell by 17%, AMD's stock price rose by 25%, and Fruit's stock price fell by the worst 53%.

There was nothing Cook could do about this situation.

...

Next to the Microsoft store in Times Square, New York.

"Dong Dong Qiang~Dong Dong Qiang~"

The lion dance team beat gongs and drums, and the two lions danced heartily at the door.

This grand occasion attracted numerous onlookers from passers-by.

"Isn't this store an IBM store? When was it transferred to the Chinese people?"

"How long have you not passed by here? This store closed last week, and renovations started after it closed."

"IBM is not very short of money. Why should it sell its store to the Chinese people?"

"IBM's personal computer business has long been sold to the Chinese, okay?"

"I don't know what I want to buy in this store."

...

The lion dance performance finally ended after twenty minutes.

Zhang Zhicheng pulled the red rope that fell from the door.

As he pulled like this.

A black unicorn appeared in front of everyone, and next to the icon was the English word for unicorn.

"Today is the first day of the opening of the New York Kirin store with a 10% discount on the entire store." Zhang Zhicheng said to the crowd with a loudspeaker.

"It turns out this is Kirin's specialty store."

"I bought a Kirin computer a long time ago. Come and take a look at it with me."

"Can anyone tell me what kind of computer Kirin Computer is?"

"You'll know if you go in and see for yourself."

At this time, onlookers poured into the store.

Because there were so many people pouring into the scene, the sales staff couldn't even greet them.

Some consumers who have never seen Kirin computers are shocked by Kirin's all-in-one computers.

Simple and elegant design, clear and beautiful screen.

These people had never seen such a beautiful computer.

Orson Chalabi is a graphic designer.

Originally he was going to Fifth Avenue to buy a Fruit Computer.

But seeing the excitement, I walked in with the crowd.

Because there are too many people to take care of, the sales staff can only make introductions to customers loudly so that people standing nearby can hear them.

"Gentlemen, this is an all-in-one machine developed by our Kirin Computer. It uses an aluminum alloy integrated frame, a 22-inch retina high-definition display LCD screen, and a built-in Nuwa A2 CPU..." salesperson Balabala introduced.

"Hey, buddy, are you sure this is an all-in-one machine?" a consumer asked at this time.

"Of course." the salesman replied confidently.

"It's not like we haven't seen all-in-one computers before. It's impossible for an all-in-one computer to be so thin and light," said the consumer.
