The man who turned the times

Chapter 393

Took over an hour.

Su Yang operated the remote control to continuously change and explain various data on the big screen.

After comparing many pictures and videos, an unbelievable fact was revealed.

That is the Core i5 launched by Yuanyang, which far surpasses the most powerful processor currently on the market in terms of performance and power consumption.

On the stage, Su Yang spoke dryly.

After resting for half a minute, he said again: "The next step is the price link that everyone cares about most."

“酷睿i5-2300，定价1999元，酷睿i5-2400定价2299元，酷睿i5-2500定价2499元。”

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the audience.

"No way, the lowest price is only 1999, so cheap!"

"Crazy, 32nm process, twice the performance of Inter's best processor, it's only sold in 1999?"

"Just kidding me, inter isn't half as good as yours, and it sells for three or four thousand, yet you're only 1999?"

"Come on, what 32nm process, what performance power consumption ratio is the world's first, I think it's all fake."

"This...can't be true, can it?"

"The price is too cheap, it's tricky."

When Yang Xu heard Su Yang's words from the live broadcast, his expression suddenly relaxed and he let out a slight breath.

In the case of the same era, the performance and price of the CPU are directly proportional.

Logically speaking, the Core i5 launched by Yuanyang is twice as powerful as the latest CPU released by Inter in terms of performance per power consumption.

At this time, the minimum price of inter CPU is 3499, so the Core i5 must be sold at least 4499 to be suitable.

However, Su Yang set the price at 1999 yuan, which is almost the same as the 60nm process CPU launched by Inter a few years ago.

If there were no ghosts, Yang Xu wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Not only Yang Xu, but at this time, everyone who understands the market can't help but become suspicious.

Su Yang said with a smile: "Perhaps, many friends wonder why the price is so low. Is it because the actual performance is different from what I just introduced? I set the low price because of a guilty conscience?"

"I am here to tell you responsibly that there is no such thing."

"The reason why the price is set low is that in the first few years of sales, we Yuanyang will ignore the profit, put the profit aside first, entertain all walks of life with good things, let everyone know Yuanyang and Core i5, and then Make more money."

Su Yang's words are half true and half false.

It is the truth to want people to know and recognize Yuanyang.

But ignoring profit and putting profit aside, that is nonsense again.

According to the current situation, because there is no research investment, the price of a CPU processor is 1999 yuan, and the cost is about 500 yuan.

In short, Yuanyang's gross income is almost 1500 yuan after selling a chip.

After deducting miscellaneous expenses and taxes, a chip can have a net profit of 1000 yuan.

And how big is the global computer chip market?

There are at least 40 billion personal computers.

Even if it only eats half of the market, there are still 20 billion chips.

This is a net profit of two trillion yuan!
Moreover, although the Core i5-2300 only costs 1999 yuan, it does not mean that Yuanyang will not launch better CPUs in the future.

When there is a certain market foundation, the second-generation, third-generation and fourth-generation chips will be launched, with more powerful performance, and the price will gradually increase.

In at most two years, the price of the CPU can reach the price of the original inter.

The chip business is a long-term business, like Inter, which has been in business for five or sixty years and has made a lot of money.

Although the market value is only more than 3000 billion U.S. dollars, the profits created during the period have to be multiplied by at least ten times.

At the beginning, Yuanyang did not have any market foundation, so it could not be rushed.

No matter how good the publicity is, Su Yang estimates that when the three Core i5 models go on sale, the sales will definitely not be too good.

Before the word-of-mouth is fully formed, most people just wait and see, especially those individual users, who will take the initiative to buy Yuanyang chips and try them.

But as time goes by, when the price/performance ratio of Core i5 penetrates the market, then Yuanyang starts to make a lot of money.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Great Wall couldn't be built so magnificently in a short while.

Even the system gave Su Yang three years to become the overlord of semiconductors and compete against Inter.

Therefore, even if it is turned on, the sales and operation must be done slowly, and there is no rush.

Su Yang continued: "Today is July 7th. One and a half months later, in the early morning of September 15st, the three models of Core i9 CPUs will be listed for sale on Taobao's Tmall Mall."

"I think I'm bragging, you might as well spend 1000 yuan to buy a CPU for use."

"If the test data is different from what I said at the press conference, Yuanyang will compensate you ten times the loss."

"Of course, the premise is that there is no falsification or deliberate finding fault."

"Okay, next is the reporter's questioning session."

In the audience, some reporters immediately began to raise their hands.

Su Yang points to a tall female reporter.

The female reporter was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the microphone from the on-site staff, and asked:
"Mr. Su Yang, I am a reporter from Yanjing TV. I would like to ask you how you made the 32nm chip, and the 32nm chip means that China has caught up with the West in terms of semiconductor manufacturing technology. country?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "Your question is very tricky. Let me answer it briefly."

"How the 32nm chip is made is a corporate secret and I have no comment."

"As for whether it means that Huaxia Semiconductor's technology has caught up with Western countries, I would say it is not."

"It's not that we have caught up. The term "catch up" is not very accurate. In terms of semiconductor manufacturing, we have already surpassed Western countries."

"If anyone thinks that I am wrong, please come up with a 32nm chip, or use a chip with a higher performance-to-power ratio than the Core i5 to speak."

"Okay, next one."

Su Yang pointed to a little blonde girl.

The blonde female reporter asked: "I am a reporter from the BBC stationed in China. I am very surprised. Mr. Su Yang, is your bet with Lu Ziqiang from Noy company true?"

"If you lose, will you pay him [-] million? Also, since you proposed to make mobile phones before, but now you are making computer chips, shouldn't it be baseband chips?"

Su Yang replied: "The bet between me and Lu Ziqiang is true. If I lose, I will give Mr. Lu [-] million as agreed. Of course, I don't think I will lose."

"In addition, is there any conflict between making computer chips and baseband chips? As far as I know, Inter is doing it with both hands, and you don't necessarily have objections to their approach."

Hearing Su Yang's words, the blond female reporter's lips trembled.

Inter is an established semiconductor giant, but your Yuanyang is just a start-up company.

With such a big gap in background, don't you have a B number in your heart?

A reporter from Xinhuanet asked: "Mr. Su, I personally admire you very much. What I want to ask is, do you have a girlfriend now? When are you going to get married? If you get married, will you consider whether you are married or not?" See where you came from?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "Miss, your question is a personal one, so I don't have to answer it, and I'm not yet 20 years old, and I'm still two years away from the legal age of marriage."

"So before asking questions, you have to find out my age, otherwise it will embarrass me."

After a pause, Su Yang continued: "As for getting married in the future, will you consider your spouse's background? First of all, I personally have no plans to get married too early. In addition, being well-matched is important, but it's not something I should consider."

"Because in my opinion, no matter how rich my partner is in the future, she will not have as much money as me anyway."

"So at this time, it doesn't really matter whether you are right or not."
