Chapter 336 Dumbfounded Intel!

However, Chen Wenqi also knew that after acquiring Wandao SIS Company, if they wanted to sell Weisheng Electronics' CPU and graphics card business, the quotation would have to be significantly lowered, and the price would have to be a bone-breaking price.

After all, Sugon R&D Center has the most critical and important X86 instruction set authorization. Although other technology patents owned by Weisheng Electronics and patent authorizations obtained through cross-licensing are important.

But it is not impossible for Sugon R&D Center to obtain it through other methods, or directly independently develop its own technology patents.

Therefore, Chen Wenqi, who was stimulated, became ruthless and decided to significantly reduce the quotation of CPU and graphics card, and gave a quotation for fracture!

In this regard, Intel President Barrett, who is far away in the United States, does not know this.

I don’t know that his behavior stimulated Chen Wenqi so much that she made the crazy decision to significantly reduce the quotation for the CPU and graphics card business.

Presumably if Intel CEO Barrett knew this, he would probably regret it so much that his intestines would turn green.

If they are given a chance to change the future, they will definitely stick to their word this time and license Weisheng Electronics' SSE3 instruction set and hyper-threading technology as agreed, rather than betraying Weisheng Electronics.

After all, licensing these two technologies to Weisheng Electronics will indeed give Weisheng Electronics a chance to rise, but this will not threaten Weintel's monopoly on the X86 processor.

On the contrary, if Sugon R&D Center acquires Weisheng Electronics, Sugon R&D Center will directly become the world's third largest X86 processor manufacturer.

It directly has the qualifications to develop and produce X86 processors, which is even worse news for Intel.

After all, the Shuguang R&D Center is much stronger than Weisheng Electronics, both in terms of R&D funds and R&D strength.

Whichever is worse.

Presumably, if there is a chance to go back and change the future, Intel will definitely provide Wei Sheng Electronics with authorization for those two technologies, rather than betray We Sheng Electronics and anger Chen Wenqi.

But it was too late. Intel did make a mistake this time.

Intel abandoned Weisheng Electronics after seeing that Shuguang R&D Center acquired Wandao SIS Company and officially had the X86 processor patent license to produce X86 processors.

This behavior itself is not a problem. After all, Sugon Technology is a threat, but Weisheng Electronics, which has three technology authorizations, is also a threat.

It is normal for them to abandon Weisheng Electronics, which has no use value, but they ignore Weisheng Electronics' determination to develop domestic CPUs.

They did not consider that after several consecutive years of losses, the senior management of Weisheng Electronics had become desperate for the future of the X86 processor and no longer had the confidence and determination to support the research and development of the X86 processor.

According to history, the Weisheng C7 processor launched by Weisheng Electronics next year will be the last swan song, it can be said that since the Weisheng C7 processor.

Weisheng Electronics did not continue to develop new X86 processors. In the following ten years, it only performed minor updates and maintenance on the original X86 processors.

Therefore, Intel's decision to betray Weisheng Electronics was indeed okay, but it overestimated Weisheng Electronics' determination to develop X86 processors, which ultimately led to this result.

Of course, even if Barrett knew what Chen Wenqi was thinking now, there was nothing he could do to save the outcome.

After all, they have already paid the liquidated damages and the contract breach notice. It is useless to say anything at this time, but it is obvious that Intel does not know this.

So in the following time, Sugon R&D Center and Weisheng Electronics started negotiations again.

When this move was reported by the media, Intel was naturally very unhappy.

Intel's president, Barrett, even issued various warnings and pointed out that Vise Electronics needs to bear liquidated damages of US$30 million.

However, none of this scares Weisheng Electronics. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. The USD 30 million liquidated damages can be borne by Sugon R&D Center through a quotation.

Therefore, with Lang Youqing's intention, the negotiation speed between Sugon R&D Center and Weisheng Electronics was quite fast. This negotiation speed was comparable to the negotiation speed between Sugon R&D Center and Wandao SIS Company.

So on July 10, Sugon R&D Center and Weisheng Electronics officially reached a contract for the sale of CPU and graphics card business.

Sugon R&D Center spent US$1.23 billion to acquire the CPU and graphics card departments of Weisheng Electronics, and also obtained the patent authorization for Weisheng Electronics' chipset technology.

When the news was announced through a joint press conference between the two parties, the global technology media naturally reported crazily, and Daxia netizens became excited again.

However, their level of excitement this time was far greater than the time Sugon R&D had acquired Wandao SIS Company. After all, Wandao Weisheng Electronics Company was different from Wandao SIS Company.

Although Weisheng Electronics' CPU market share is quite embarrassing, its market share has been between 0.2% and 0.5% for a long time.

But it is an indisputable fact that Weisheng Electronics is the third largest X86 processor manufacturer in the world!

At this time, Sugon R&D Center acquired the CPU and graphics card business of Weisheng Electronics, and finally added the CPU, graphics card, and chipset businesses of SIS Company previously acquired.

With the merger of the technologies and patents of these two companies, Sugon Technology's CPU processors, Sugon graphics cards, and Sugon chipsets will become more powerful, which also means that Sugon computer accessories and Sugon computers are really coming!

Thinking of this, how can Daxia netizens not be excited and excited, how can they not look forward to the birth of Sugon computers, Sugon processors, Sugon graphics cards, and Sugon chipsets from Sugon Technology?

Lin Chen actually had a lot of emotions about this, sighing that it was really unintentional.

Of course, after sighing with emotion, Lin Chen was actually secretly happy.

Because Sugon R&D Center was originally planning to spend about US$1.5 billion to purchase Weisheng Electronics' CPU and graphics card business.

As a result, the current price of only US$1.23 billion is far lower than expected, and the purchased CPU business also contains a very valuable surprise.

This unexpected surprise is the authorization from .D Company’s X86-64-bit processor architecture!

This is a technology authorization that will have a profound impact on the future of Sugon R&D Center, a very important authorization!

Because of this authorization, Sugon R&D Center will be able to develop, produce and sell 64-bit X86 processors openly, which will undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact on Sugon R&D Center.

After all, although the current 32-bit processors still have room for survival, the next few years or more will be the era of 64-bit processors.

At this time, we accidentally obtained the authorization for the X86-64-bit processor architecture, which undoubtedly completely solved the big problem of having the qualifications to produce 64-bit X86 processors!

How could Lin Chen not feel secretly happy after receiving this unexpected joy?

It can be said that Lin Chen was so happy that he almost couldn't help but give Intel's president Barrett a "Best Outstanding Assist Award". (End of chapter)
