Reborn American Tyrant

The software industry has been disturbed, the balance of the personal computer industry has also been broken, and the first-generation personal computer of Wang'an has finally appeared.

In terms of hardware usage, Wang An Computer is also quite conservative, basically on par with Apple's second-generation computers.

You must say that this is a larger word processor, and their design is really lackluster.

But big companies are big ones, and their computers are very popular in the market. The personal computer market has ushered in the era of melee for the first time.

White Software's substantial price cut has prompted computer manufacturers to increase their publicity efforts.Many users who hold money on the sidelines no longer wait.

The theory of computer uselessness was once again ridiculed, which embarrassed some old guys.

It’s useful or useless. Experts say it doesn’t count, this is something that consumers should decide.

As the first giant to step into personal PCs, Wang An Computer naturally realized the vast market, and the unit price of PCs was much higher than that of word processors, and the rising stocks against the trend illustrate the problem.

Such a good start naturally caused great dissatisfaction with Qiao.

"William, you must be faster. Our Lisa project can't wait."

William White didn't care when he listened to Qiao Dashen speaking in a slightly complaining tone.

"Old Joe, our beta version is in place. Your problem is the production link. I can't just sell one of my software. As you can see, our competitors are also very powerful." William White does not eat his set. Just throw the pot directly.

"Okay, okay, don't forget your promise."

"Hmm, don't worry, I'm very trustworthy."

Regarding Qiao Dashen's request, William White is also unable to complain. What if you provide Apple system software for three months? Your Lisa project is so rubbish and absolutely powerless.

Great God Qiao still doesn’t know that his biggest opponent is not Wang An. The blue giant Gabil Gates is the key. Wang An’s system is exclusive, like Apple, and it definitely can’t beat the blue giant with a group of younger brothers. .

Great God Qiao didn't see Bill Gates in his eyes. He also helped Bill's business a lot and even encouraged Microsoft to engage in office software.

Bill Gates really has a headache now, saying that he is not tempted is bullshit, but he is not so impulsive, William White is not so easy to deal with, it is best not to confront directly.

"Boss, Microsoft has won the order from Giant Blue. Although the news is very secret, we still understand it."

Regarding this result, although William White was disappointed, he did not pay much attention to it."Well, Tom, check out their plan. Microsoft can't make it out of thin air. They bought that company or got some authorization."

"Okay, boss, I'll check it right away." Seeing the boss didn't have a very unhappy tone, he finally let go of his heart.

"Is MSDOS coming on stage? Why are there some small expectations? Haha!"

In a sense, this is actually insider trading. What kind of system does Bill Gates have? MSDOS is nothing but rubbish he bought. It changed a bit and sold it.

No matter when the IBMPC appears, White Software will release the supporting software as soon as possible. These things sold now are just a trifle. If they fall behind in the next wave, there will be no White software in this world.

Qiao Dashen has encountered a challenge, and William White is the same. Not only will he encounter trouble in the software field, but the arcade will also usher in a change.

Motorola's 68000 series actually has a derivative product, the 65 series derived from the 68 series. The very sad thing is that this thing does not belong to Motorola.

The reason for the birth of AMD is similar. Because of the different concepts, the core personnel have taken a different path.

This MOC company is also wonderful. The CPU of the 6502 series is almost open source. It seems that any factory can produce it, and the required cost is close to zero.

Nowadays, thinking about monopoly is dreaming. Apple’s first and second generations use this CPU, and Atari’s 2600 also uses this chipset.

In William White's view, the potential of the 6800 is undoubtedly greater. If a breakthrough can be made in low power consumption, the potential of this chip is absolutely huge.

"Boss, Mr. Felson is here."

"Well, let him go to the meeting room, we will have a meeting directly."

"Okay, boss."

It is not difficult to obtain authorization from Motorola, and it is more difficult to acquire the chip department as a whole, but William White is not reconciled and decided to give it a try.

"Philson, what did Motorola say?"

"Boss, there is no problem with production authorization. Their production capacity and yield are not good, and they are also looking for third-party factories."

"Hey, there won't be anything in the short-term, and it will definitely not work in the long-term. Can the few guys who went to MOC pack and dig it back?"

Philson considered it for a while and said: "If there are enough benefits, I believe they will not refuse."

"Well, go ahead and do this immediately and tell the semiconductor manufacturer that we need a partner."

To a certain extent, William White can be regarded as a cocoon. Motorola had no idea about the chip department, but the arcade of the legendary world is different. This department is obviously also very profitable.

His video game console does not want to use 6502. Although this thing is very good, the threshold is too low. Atari develops on this basis, and it is easy to threaten him.

It is not appropriate to bring 6800 directly. There is indeed a huge waste. The frequency of the red and white phones is less than 2 Hz, so why should he go too high.

The only problem is bandwidth. Red and white machines have experienced technical failures, mainly caused by insufficient bandwidth. This is a congenital deficiency of 8-bit processors.

Since that group of geniuses can make 8-bit processors on the basis of 68000, then 16-bit processors will not be difficult. If this thing is made, it will definitely smash Intel's 8080.

In fact, Motorola is also hesitating. In their view, although 68000 has potential, the profit margin is the same. This thing has dropped from 320 dollars to tens of dollars. According to the current form, it may fall to $50 range.

William White didn't have time to struggle, and the various departments began to move quickly.

As a result, Motorola is obviously unable to sit still. What people want is not the 6800, which is obviously a chip for TV game consoles.

It is not difficult for them to be able to draw the above conclusions. What they need is design authorization. This is a direct plan to modify on the basis of 68000. It is too simple to come to this conclusion. Why are their CPUs desperately falling in price? Alright, the lawsuit has been entangled for a long time.

William White is reasonable and willing to spend money to buy, but MOC is not so particular.

Would you like to cooperate?

"What? Spin off chip department cooperation?"

"Yes, boss, they don't want to sell as a whole, but they can cooperate."

"Well, this can be discussed. I need at least 30% of the shares. The production base will be in the foot basin, so there will be a foot basin investor."

"Okay, boss, we will negotiate right away."
