After finishing speaking, Intel President Barrett waited for the other person to speak. However, Chen Wenqi was silent and waited for more than 20 seconds, as if waiting for him to speak.
Seeing this, Intel President Barrett cursed "greedy Intel traitor" in his heart, and then continued:
"In addition to SSE3 instruction set authorization, we are also willing to provide hyper-threading technology authorization and X86-64 processor architecture authorization to Weisheng Electronics, so that you can officially develop and produce 64-bit X86 processors."
However, facing the temptation given by Intel President Barrett, Chen Wenqi also knew the relevant professional knowledge. He frowned and asked:
"Hyper-threading technology is okay, but the patent for the X86-64-bit processor architecture is not owned by Intel, but by D Company.
Intel only has a patent cross-license for the X86-64-bit processor architecture, but there is no way to provide us with a license for the X86-64-bit processor architecture. "
"Don't worry about this, I will take care of it.
After all, it is the common interest of Intel and D to prevent Sugon Technology from entering the X86 processor world.
We will never allow Sugon Technology to officially enter the X86 processor industry, after all, this is bad news for us.
The X86 processor market can no longer accommodate a fourth processor manufacturer! "
After hearing Intel's straightforward and domineering words, Chen Wenqi secretly cursed greed and did not say anything, but made a hesitant look and said:
"We need to think about it, after all, this matter is too important."
"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news."
After hearing Chen Wenqi's words, Intel President Barrett was also quite helpless. At this time, he only regretted why he didn't eliminate Weisheng Electronics earlier.
As a result, now he can only passively wait for other people's replies. This passive feeling is not pleasant.
However, although Intel President Barrett was unhappy at this time, he also had great confidence in whether Chen Wenqi would agree.
Because the profit margin offered by Intel this time is indeed very high, it can be said that if Weisheng Electronics agrees.
Then the market share of Weisheng Electronics will definitely not be so embarrassing in the future, and it will not remain between 0.2% and 0.5% for a long time as it is now.
It can be said that if Weisheng CPU can perfectly absorb the technology patent authorization given by Intel, then Weisheng CPU's market share may exceed 3%!
After all, whether it is hyper-threading technology authorization, X86-64-bit processor architecture authorization, or SSE3 instruction set authorization, it is not simple.
With the newly developed SSE3 instruction set authorization, the multimedia performance of the VIA CPU processor will be even more powerful.
With the X86-64-bit processor architecture authorization, Weisheng Electronics can produce 64-bit X86 processors, instead of only producing 32-bit X86 processors as it does now.
As for the final hyper-threading technology, it is one of Intel's housekeeping technologies. The so-called hyper-threading technology is to simulate a real CPU core and add a virtual logical core.
Then the single-core processor will become a dual-core processor. The final effect is that it can perform multi-task batch processing at the same time, improving performance by 15% compared to the original!
It can be said that this technology is quite good, although it is of little use when actually processing single-line tasks, such as playing a game, and the actual performance is even slightly reduced.
But with this hyper-threading technology, a single-core processor can be turned into a dual-core processor, and a dual-core processor can be turned into a quad-core processor.
Then consumers can hang a lot of software on the desktop, even if they open a browser, a lot of window pages can be hung on the browser.
So this is a very practical technology, and it is also a technology that can give Weisheng Electronics a good selling point. It can at least increase the market share of Weisheng CPU processors by 1%.
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, they don't have hyper-threading technology.
Because according to history, .D launched its own hyper-threading technology, which they named "synchronous multi-threading technology" in 2010.
Therefore, if Weisheng Electronics can obtain the authorization to use hyper-threading technology at this time, Weisheng Electronics will become the second manufacturer in the world to have hyper-threading technology, and this sales volume will increase their sales by at least 1%!
…
On the other side, Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, who hung up the phone, suddenly laughed wildly.
"Hahahahahaha..."
"What's the matter?"
Mrs. Wang, who was wearing pajamas, looked at her husband with a puzzled expression.
“The president of Intel was just called by Rhett, and they offered hyper-threading technology, SSE3 instruction set authorization, and X86-64 processor architecture authorization as a price.
We are required not to negotiate with Sugon Technology from now on. If we agree, our market share of X86 processors may reach more than 2%. "
"oh?"
Hearing Chen Wenqi's words, Mrs. Wang also raised her eyebrows with a surprised expression.
However, Mrs. Wang frowned when she thought that Intel only granted technology patent licenses but had no real financial benefits at all.
Because this means that after Weisheng Electronics obtains the corresponding technology patent authorization, it will have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on research and development and solving production problems.
And even if everything is completed, we will still have to face three powerful enemies: Intel, .D, and Sugon Technology in the future!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't be happy. After all, the future was really uncertain. It would be safer to actually sell the things and get cash.
However, Chen Wenqi didn't notice his wife's expression at this time. There was a faint smile on his lips at this time, and he seemed to have made a decision.
But after all, Chen Wenqi is an old fox who has been in business for many years. Although he has made a decision, he did not reveal his trump card directly.
In the morning of the next day, Chen Wenqi had a wrangling with the president of Intel, and Intel finally decided to grant Vise Electronics the authorization for the X86-64-bit processor architecture.
After all, this wool comes from sheep, and this wool is not his Intel's wool, but the wool of Company D, so it is natural for Intel to take this wool out first without any heartache.
As for Company D, are they willing?
Company D naturally has no objections. After all, after Wei Sheng Electronics obtained their X86-64-bit processor architecture license, every time a CPU was sold, they would also pay patent fees to them.
Moreover, in terms of suppressing and containing Sugon Technology, .D and Intel have the same interests. They do not want to have another powerful enemy that can eat meat.
Of course, the reason why Company D is so generous is that it only licenses X86-64 architecture processors and does not need to spend a single penny to suppress Sugon Technology.
Moreover, D's real enemy is Intel, not Weisheng Electronics, which has a market share of less than 1%. Giving them a license for X86-64 architecture processors will not make a difference. (End of chapter)
