Rewrite the Technological Landscape

"Accept orders or not." Shadow is an instant messaging software, Meng Qian clicked on the only friend dialog box and typed these four words.

Three minutes later, the other person responded, "Mr. Meng's order is of course accepted."

"Recently, some people are pushing public opinion to negatively attack our company. I probably checked it out. The list was spread from overseas through the dark web. Do you have the ability to help me find out who is behind the scenes?"

"It's not a big problem, but what can we do if we find it out? It can't be used as evidence."

"White has white play, black has black play."

"Okay, 10 million."

"Why don't you go grab it?"

"This is the entrance fee."

"I'm not going to join you."

"We don't serve anyone other than our members."

"." Meng Qian pouted and continued typing, "What do you guys want?"

"Does Mr. Meng know the number of cross-border child trafficking every year?"

"If I remember correctly, the data in 2010 was 800,000."

"The difference between the actual data and the official data is probably the difference between the chip performance that you companies said at the press conference and the actual performance."

"I recognize your righteousness, but there are some things that people will naturally do."

"Humans always think that deep-sea fish cannot see light, but they don't know that deep-sea fish can see darkness."

"That's what shadow means."

"Meng Qian, we need people like you."

"I have my own way to go, a very important way, I am not a god, I can't control everything, I have to be responsible for the most important thing in my heart, I can pay the 10 million, it is my respect for you .”

At this time, a document was sent from the other side, "I will hang up your membership, and you can decide whether to activate it or not. This document should be regarded as a new member registration gift."

Meng Qian opened the file and asked immediately after reading it, "Is the news true?"

"You can judge for yourself, the money will be sent today." After speaking, the other party's profile picture went dark.

Meng Qian thought for a while and began to search the Internet for a name: Pat Kelsinger.

After studying Pat Kelsinger for a while, Meng Qian called Xiao Boshi into the office.

"Before the Intel and IBM incident, I remember you telling me that AMD's new CEO wanted to meet me?"

The emergence of Meng Qian has changed the fate of many companies, including some companies whose fortunes have changed greatly, such as Apple, Oracle, and AMD.

Because Meng Qian snatched away ATI, it forced AMD to continue to focus on the CPU. As a result, AMD's dark decade of double-line operation did not appear.

However, Mel's lightning resignation happened last month, and the next thing was rewritten again because of Meng Qian.

The person who took over from Mel back then was Roy Reid, but this is impossible in this life, because Roy Reid was the former president of Lenovo America, and there is no such thing as Lenovo Mi in this life, and Roy Reid's life trajectory has also changed because of this, and he has not become what AMD wants. candidates.

The new CEO of AMD in this life has become Pat Kelsinger, one of the former candidates, and he took office a month after Mel resigned, which is completely different from the situation where the CEO was not elected for half a year.

This buddy worked at Intel, and later went to EMC. In 2019, he was named the top ten most popular CEOs in the United States.

"Well, when I was visiting a US semiconductor company, Kelsinger of AMD said he wanted to meet with you."

"Did you feel that there was something special about Kielsinger when you talked to him?"

"Special place?" Xiao Boshi tried to recall, "Kilsinger's attitude is very positive, he has a high opinion of our company, especially Mr. Meng, and most of the time he has been chatting with me about mobile phones. A thing of the times."

"Sure enough, Kilsinger's coming to power should be because those people have taken a fancy to his character."

"What does Mr. Meng mean?" Xiao Boshi couldn't keep up with Meng Qian's thinking for a while.

"AMD is now facing two major factions, do you know?"

"With a little understanding of the situation, one group believes that AMD should continue to focus on computer CPUs, and the other group believes that AMD should enter the mobile phone processor market."

"And Mel is at the heart of the faction that continues to focus on computer CPUs."

"I heard that it is, but everyone knows that the relationship between AMD and Intel is very complicated. They are deadly rivals, but they are also bargaining chips for each other. Every time AMD runs out of money, it can get some relief from Intel.

This wonderful balance has been maintained for decades, but the premise of this balance is that AMD focuses on X86-based computer chip design.

Mel’s desire to focus on computer CPUs can be regarded as following this tradition. After all, if AMD wants to make mobile phone processors now, if it wants to maintain this delicate relationship, it has to design based on X86 like Intel, but now Intel has always Self-deception, everyone knows that it is really inappropriate to put X86 in the field of mobile phone processors.

If AMD chooses X86 as a mobile phone processor, it is no different from wasting money, unless AMD chooses ARM, or we Hongmeng.

But this will break the long-standing balance, but for the fact that Intel is not doing well in the field of mobile phone processors, this is actually a good opportunity for AMD, and the dispute between the two factions has just emerged. "

"That's right, and the result now is that Mel has stepped down."

Xiao Boshi kept up with Meng Qian's rhythm, "So this Kelsinger came to power to help AMD enter the mobile phone processor market?"

"At least I must have this idea." On the one hand, Meng Qian's conclusion is also based on the prophet of rebirth. After the cooperation between AMD and ARM, many details about Mel's resignation have been exposed. The cooperative platform between AMD and ARM did not make a name for itself.

"But the battle between these two factions within AMD is very fierce, and AMD's management and even the board of directors include people from Intel.

Even if the faction that wants to enter the mobile phone processor has an advantage now, it is not so easy to implement. "Xiao Bozhi's judgment is still very accurate. If it is in the previous life, this analysis is completely fine, including that Meng Qian also ignored the line of AMD before seeing the document sent by Gu Sha. In fact, some things have changed in this life. .

"Just like IBM is now cooperating with Intel while still maintaining a basic relationship with us, under the current rules of the world game, all competition and cooperation revolve around interests.

If we are really completely suppressed, the cooperation between Intel and IBM will definitely collapse, and they will even embark on a competitive relationship that may be worse than it is now.

So if you think about AMD's current situation from the perspective of interests, you will suddenly find that when Intel and IBM cooperate, some things are completely different. For example, AMD suddenly becomes less indispensable.

Because once X86 goes with power, both the United States and the world can suddenly accept the loss of AMD.

When Intel used IBM to suppress our Gale Group, the balance between Intel and AMD was also broken. "

Xiao Boshi quickly straightened out the logic, "The absolute competitive relationship between X86 and power has been broken because of this cooperation. If Intel and IBM really suppress our development in the future, the situation will be different when we return to competition again.

Just like the semiconductor alliance rules that appeared when the semiconductor industry in the United States suppressed the semiconductor industry in Neon Country, it has continued to this day.

At this time, AMD may not only no longer be a necessary opponent of Intel, but may also become an existence that must be eliminated.

But having said that, it is still difficult to predict where the cooperation between Intel and IBM will go, especially now that IBM has deliberately adopted this cooperation model that takes into account both ends in order to obtain a situation that can be both offensive and defensive.

Coupled with the fact that Intel's attitude of suppressing us is so firm now that even the US officials have come to an end, the risk of AMD confronting Intel at this juncture is very high. "

"It is because of too many factors that AMD needs to make a clear choice at this time in order to take the next road well. Just like IBM, interests are intertwined and the situation is turbulent. Action must be taken, otherwise it will become more and more serious. more passive.

You can contact Mr. Sun and ask him to check one thing in the United States, about AMD's latest board changes. "

"A change in AMD's board of directors?" Xiao Boshi immediately came to his senses, "Could it be?"

"The biggest weakness of the United States lies in internal disunity. Since they create conflicts in public opinion to disgust us, then we will directly use their conflicts of interest to respond to them."

"If this is the case, the situation will become more and more chaotic."

"We just want to make the situation more and more chaotic, and the more chaotic, the more opportunities there are."
