Rewrite the Technological Landscape

When Meng Qian came back from vacation, he was just in time to prepare for this year's Gale Global Developer.

This year's conference was postponed to July 9th, which is also unavoidable. In June, the executives were busy, and there were no people attending the conference, so we had to postpone it.

But in the opinion of some netizens, this is because Dafeng Group is not ready for a new era.

Because in 2014, Intel suddenly came up with the PC revolution.

Looking at the global IT development in the first half of 2014, in addition to the Heartbleed vulnerability, Intel's Edison chip must be another thing that has attracted much attention in the IT industry in the first half of the year.

According to Intel's introduction, the Edison chip is a miniature PC platform chip with the size of an SD card, which can realize a miniature PC. It only needs to have a SD card slot and open a channel to provide power supply. It can instantly have the characteristics of a PC. .

Then Intel came up with the PC revolution, or PC mobility.

In Intel's PC revolution concept, future PCs will be completely mobile and cloud-based, and users no longer need a traditional computer, or obtain hardware from the cloud, or directly realize the PC of mobile devices through the Edison chip. performance.

Intel did not hesitate to offend traditional computer manufacturers for this, because according to Intel, PCs will be completely changed. In the future, everyone only needs a computer stick, combined with a cloud platform to own a computer, so companies like Dell and HP can directly announce the CP business Department went bankrupt.

How can Dell and HP accept this kind of thing? Dell CEO Dell even said in a high-profile way that Intel can rely on us today! Intel is now trying to destroy us!

But Intel's response was also very direct. This is the tide of the times. If we don't do it, others will do it. The revolution of traditional PCs is bound to come.

In private, Intel made a trip to Dell and HP to explain to them relatively politely, "The PC revolution has been rumored by the Dafeng Group for several years, and we have also obtained some information. From the current point of view, they should talk to ours. The directions are the same, so we must be ahead of the Gale Group.

Think about it, you two, what would happen if Dafeng Group took the lead in this matter? "

"But the sharp drop in PC sales in the past two years has made us very uncomfortable. Are you trying to force us to death by making such a move at this time?" Dell was obviously very unhappy.

"Two, the new era has a new era of gameplay, just like new players in the smartphone era, together we can become the leader in the PC mobile era and take an absolute lead in this direction."

Dell and Whitman both have ideas in their hearts, but they have not expressed their opinions for the time being, because Intel's attitude is actually very decisive, and they can't do anything for a while.

So they can only decide to have a good understanding of this so-called PC revolution first. If this thing can really cause a revolution, it is indeed better for Dell and HP to seize the opportunity than to continue to die in the traditional PC market where sales continue to decline. more reliable.

The silence of companies like Dell and HP has made the market pay more attention to this matter. After knowing this thing, the reborn has actually become a synonym for smart device chips, including smart home and wearable smart device chips. What is the PC revolution? This is an event where Intel overcorrected. It said that it should pay attention to the era of mobility, but it should not take mobility too much.

But who can see the future at this moment in 2014? Although Intel is not as convincing as before, it is still the leader in this industry, and everyone will subconsciously believe in the concepts proposed by Intel.

Against such a background of public opinion, on July 9, the 7th Gale Global Developers Conference began.

After resting for a period of time, Meng Qian, who was revived with full blood, appeared in front of the public.

"I heard that you all want me to talk about the PC revolution?" Meng Qian did not shy away from mentioning this topic in his opening speech.

The audience immediately became excited, and did not expect to hear this matter at the conference.

"To be honest, when I first heard about the PC revolution, I was still looking forward to it, because everyone knows that our Dafeng Group has been tackling the PC revolution, but when I saw that the PC revolution is the mobile PC, let me I feel very surprised.

It feels very irresponsible to think of PC mobilization as a PC revolution, because it feels less like a revolution and more like an escape.

What is PC Mobility? I carefully read all the introductions about the Edison chip, isn't this just to improve the performance of mobile devices? The only breakthrough seems to be that it is aimed at all mobile devices, not just smartphones or tablets, but Intel itself does not seem to know exactly which mobile devices Edison chips are used on.

Because I saw that Intel launched the Edison platform competition last month, and I hope that makers from all over the world will tell it where the Edison chip can be used.”

Meng Qian said that there was a lot of laughter in the audience, because this is indeed something that makes the market feel very confused, but Intel used to be so powerful, it said that this is the PC revolution, and everyone dare not ridicule it lightly, they can only Say wait and see what happens next.

But this life is different. In this life, there is Dafeng Group and Meng Qian. Meng Qian will not save face for Intel. He just ridiculed it directly. In addition, as a reborn, Meng Qian knows that the Edison chip is a failed concept, so he is not afraid at all. Turn around and get slapped in the face, mocked.

Meng Qian took the lead in mocking, and those who already doubted Intel couldn't help mocking.

"Let's talk about the PC cloudification proposed by Intel. Isn't this the cloud desktop? From the concept of cloud computing, the concept of cloud desktop came out together. In the past two years, many enterprise users of our Dafeng Group have already started to use cloud desktop technology. Yes, but we have never regarded cloud desktop as a PC revolution.

Because this corresponds to a very important question, what is the PC revolution? PC means personal computer. Since it is a revolution, the beneficiaries must be individual users. It is inappropriate to use corporate users as the PC revolution from the very beginning.

Therefore, the PC mobilization proposed by Intel this time is the PC revolution. It seems to me that we have no choice but to use traditional PCs. The performance and appearance are the same. For the PC itself, we I can't make any new moves, but isn't everyone talking about the mobile era recently, so let's use the concept of PC mobility as the PC revolution.

Why do I say this is a very irresponsible approach, because it will mislead the market, because it is Intel who said this, and it is a representative enterprise of the entire PC industry. going in the wrong direction. "

When Meng Qian said this, his joking expression suddenly became extremely serious, "And this is why I am willing to say this in this year's conference opening speech. At least from our point of view, mobile devices are mobile devices. Equipment, PC equipment is PC equipment, what is a revolution, the change from feature phones to smart phones, you can say it is a revolution in mobile phones.

In the same way, when we think about the PC revolution, it should be what kind of personal computer has become from the traditional personal computer, instead of saying that the product of personal computer cannot be sold, so we just sell mobile products.

I have to wonder why Intel proposed this concept. Is it because Intel is a chip company, not a computer company. For Intel, the traditional PC is really gone, and it can also provide mobile chips. does not affect its survival.

But the question is, what about traditional PC companies?

Then Dafeng Group, as a company that sells personal computers, must stand up and say a few words.

First of all, not needing a personal computer and not needing to frequently replace a personal computer are two different things. How many people at the scene today and watching the live broadcast don’t need a computer, and how many people don’t need to frequently replace their computers?

Even if your home computer does start to gather dust, wouldn't everyone still allow themselves a personal computer if they could afford it?

Secondly, I am also here today to reveal the direction of our Gale Group for the PC revolution, which is the performance revolution.

The biggest difference between PCs and mobile devices is performance. Intel has also seen this, so they put forward the idea of ​​making mobile devices high-performance, but what we are doing is to make PC performance explode.

Some people may say, didn't you say that the performance of the PC was too much? Doesn't it mean that the optimization of the computer CPU can no longer feel any difference?

Yes, this is why traditional PCs do not need to be replaced frequently, which is the key to the continuous decline in sales, but the so-called revolution is not a complete subversion. Let’s recall carefully, what is the key to smartphones subverting feature phones? "

Meng Qian was silent for a while and then gave the answer, "It's the application. The current computer processor is indeed enough for the current computer application, but are you really only satisfied with playing a few 3A masterpieces with the computer?

Is our pursuit of personal computers and entertainment really limited to this level? "

Meng Qian was silent again, and asked everyone to think about this issue, "We can see some future applications now, and these future applications will once again put forward higher performance requirements for PCs. At that time, just like everyone with functional phones Just like changing your smartphone, you will consider changing to a brand new personal computer, because the revolutionary PC product will give you a completely different experience.

I can only say that Intel, as the best chip company in the world, has limited his imagination for applications because of poor performance.

The PC revolution will definitely come, but it is definitely not an evasive revolution like PC mobility.

I also want to advise Intel, stop staring at Moore's Law, Moore's Law should withdraw from the stage of history.

This year's Gale Global Developers Conference will allow everyone to understand this issue more clearly from multiple angles, to understand PC mobility, to understand cloud desktops, to understand future PC applications, and to understand the possibility of a major explosion in chip performance. .

You can take a look at the PC revolution in our eyes. "
