Ima and his partners are heading towards the exhibition center in the center of Berlin. The location is of course a joint manufacturing personal computer exhibition.

Although among the latest computer models launched by PB, Universal provides the most critical parts including processing chips, LCD screens, etc.

But in the eyes of Europeans, the whole machine is manufactured by PB, the fourth largest personal computer company in Europe, the hard drive is purchased by France, the motherboard is produced by Germany, including other peripherals, and also European products. Therefore, they all intentionally or unintentionally called this computer "joint manufacturing" instead of the name PB, which made it.

This is not surprising at all.

As for personal computer processor chips, before Universal launched its own Guoteng processor, the whole world used American chips.

European computer companies can't get into this market at all.

Even now, Intel's global market share has reached 71% and is the leader in the personal computer field.

Amd's processor is actually similar to Universal, and it always follows Intel due to the gap in production technology. Originally, Amd has a certain share in the low-end market, but the launch of Universal Guoteng processors has seized part of its share. In the global market, the two companies account for about 16% and about 10%.

There was also a Cyrix company, which had independent technical research and development capabilities, which were worse than those of Amd and Universal.

Moreover, Universal has always had a good reputation among global electrical appliance companies. Cyrix has been gradually marginalized in the competition for personal computer processors. Its current market share is less than 3% and is in a dying struggle.

Since there has never been a manufacturer of personal computer processors in Europe, there is no difference between using American chips and Chinese chips for European customers.

Therefore, in their minds, it is natural to exclude the processor from the computer configuration.

From this perspective, the Chinese ingredients jointly manufactured are only LCD displays. LCD products are the founding products of Universal Corporation and can become one of the accessories for computers. It is natural.

All other major components are produced by European companies.

So, from the perspective of Europeans, no matter how you look at it, this computer is an absolute European product.

This satisfied them very much.

To be ashamed, due to Europe's dependence on the United States during the Cold War, they had to pay a heavy price when they gained security.

Personal computer products are one of the land protection fees paid in Europe.

Motherboards, hard disks, memory, and almost all of these computer components are purchased in American products. The so-called European personal computer companies are just accessories purchased from the United States, East Asia and Japan for final assembly.

Even so, in the Western European market, American computer companies such as HP and Dell account for more than 80% of the market share, leaving European local companies with pitifully few.

Who says Europeans have no sense of national pride?

On the contrary, as the former center of world civilization, their sense of national pride is extremely strong!

Now, a "real" European-made personal computer is launched. Even if they don't buy it, they will definitely support it and cheer for their "own" personal computers.

Just like Eagle and his local friends, everyone made some money they earned during the summer work, and this time they decided to use it to purchase joint manufacturing!

In fact, in their opinion, there is no need to open this exhibition.

Even if the computers manufactured jointly have slightly worse performance, they can tolerate it.

Besides, from the bottom of their hearts, they are not so confident in the processors of Universal Corporation. If the display is screwed up, it will not only lose the face of the Chinese, but also the European ones. They feel the most faceless.

Before we arrived at the exhibition center, Eagle and the others were brought to the town by the crowded crowd on the road.

There were people heading towards the exhibition center everywhere. Due to the road blockage, many people got off the bus and walked, with proud smiles on their faces.

Eagle discovered that most of these people were teenagers over ten or twenty years old and half-aged.

As European teenagers born in the 1980s, before they could have a clear understanding of the world, the Soviet Union, which was once one of the two poles, had declined. They had never personally experienced the threat the Soviet Union brought to the free world.

They did not enjoy the benefits that the United States gave to Europe. They also at most slightly prefer the United States to the United States, but more of them are pride for their own country and nation.

This is the first personal computer with "pure" European ancestry, and domestic companies play a major role in it.

"First time", the word is always easy to make people excited.

Perhaps after the second and third times, they will be tired and rational about this. But at least this time, computer users across Europe, especially those born in the 1980s, came with the mentality of "even if they lose 1,280 dollars, they must support European products."

In Eagle's memory, the exhibition center is a large Romanesque building, with high stone steps and majestic columns, making it one of the iconic buildings in Berlin.

But now, he could not see the stone steps that climbed the exhibition center.

In front of him was a slope paved by the human body, rushing towards the exhibition center wave by wave.

Seeing this scene, Eagle felt both eagerly anticipated and a little nervous.

"Joint Manufacturing" must be a success for Europe, don't let Americans see our jokes!

With a complicated mood, Eagle patiently followed the person in front of him and slowly moved forward. He suddenly felt a little funny. How could he attend a computer exhibition? What could he see so many people?

After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that his friends around him were all squeezed out by the crowded crowd and didn't know where they went.

He was the only one left in the middle of the head that could not be seen.

The crowd was moving very slowly. The people in front of him formed a ball at the entrance of the exhibition hall, making waves of admiration, making the people behind him feel itchy and hard to scratch. But they didn't know what was good in front of him.

Christmas is coming, it's already very cold.

But with so many people huddled together, Eagle only felt sweating profusely, and the steaming geothermal heat was everywhere.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the exhibition hall, he understood why the people in front of him had been wandering and were reluctant to move for a long time.

At the entrance of the exhibition hall, two booths are set up on the left and right.

Each booth has two "bare metal" - no chassis, only a bunch of bare metals with loose parts.

There is a sign next to each bare metal, which indicates all the configurations of this computer.

Intel Ben3, 0.18 micron manufacturing technology, 1.13g main frequency, supports Intel multimedia instruction set!

Good guy, this is comparing Intel's latest processor! Eagle secretly felt sweaty about joint manufacturing. He was worried about joint manufacturing. In terms of processors, joint manufacturing is definitely not a match for Intel, an old processor manufacturer. This time I will be embarrassed!

Since Universal launched the Guoteng processor, global processor competition has become more intense.

Intel's processor updates are becoming more and more frequent, and computer users are both happy and painful about this situation. In order to overwhelm Guoteng chips, Intel has adopted many new technologies. Therefore, although users can use personal computers with better performance, their prices are also rising.

Take this Benz3 1.13g processor for example. Just a small piece of chip, the retail price has reached more than 600 US dollars!

The price of the combined machine is just doubled!

Igres glanced at the configuration next to him with some difficulty seeing, and felt that he seemed to be a thief. He didn't dare to look at it.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Guoteng's third generation, 0.145 micron manufacturing technology, 1.3g main frequency, fully supports the Universal multimedia instruction set!

There is an explanation next to it that this processor chip is temporarily fully supplied with joint manufacturing computers. After the production line is expanded, it will be open to retail to the market.

The estimated single-piece price is around 210 US dollars.

This is impossible. Isn’t it said that Universal’s manufacturing technology is not as good as Intel? Even if they have improved their production process, they have reached 145 nanometer technology. Is the cost lower than Intel, and so low?

He never thought that the high prices of electronic products in Europe were, in addition to workers' wages, the various patent fees collected were also the main reason why the prices of electrical products in Europe and the United States have never been higher.

For those electrical appliance giants, they can get a lot of money by charging patent fees.

All of the Guoteng processors of Universal Corporation are their own technology. They are produced and sold out by themselves. They do not need to pay expensive licensing fees like others. In addition, some special production methods, their prices are of course to an incredible low when compared with Intel's chips.

This is the main reason why Chinese electronic manufacturers are currently supplying more and more electronic products to the world, but their prices are extremely competitive.

Because they are all authorized to Universal!

The patent fees received by Universal Company from its own manufacturers are more than half lower than those of European and American products after conversion at exchange rates!

Eagle didn't care about reading the introduction of Intel's bare metal. He only compared the processor chips, and he already had great confidence in joint manufacturing.

What he cares about now is the motherboard made by German manufacturers.

In personal computers, the most important thing is chips and motherboards, which are directly related to the performance of the computer. Guoteng chips have shown strong power, so what about German motherboards?

The latest patented technology chipset fully supports 64-bit technology, global multimedia standard, and data transmission speed is one g!

My God, it’s awesome! It’s awesome! It’s a masterpiece of God!

Igel, who had poor words, could not think of other ways to praise God, and could only keep praising God.

When he was dizzy, he also noticed a special slot on the motherboard, which was used for graphics cards. This is different from the agp graphics card standard launched by Intel, but is an original technology.

The staff at the booth did not introduce it too much, but simply told people who also noticed this slot to Eagle and others, saying that this was manufactured by German motherboard manufacturers. Because the previous graphics cards used the data bus, they lag behind the ground bus design method while occupying bandwidth, which also limits the display effect.

Therefore, this motherboard designed by German motherboard manufacturers allows the processor to directly drive the graphics card, and the data exchange capability also reaches a g.

Due to the optimization of Guoteng's third-generation processor, the image display is also very different from before. After the main chip is calculated, the image is reproduced by the display chip. Instead, the graphics data is directly handed over to the display chip to calculate, which greatly alleviates the working pressure of the CPU and further improves the performance of the computer.

Hearing this, Eagle switched his attention from the motherboard to the graphics card.

The introduction of the graphics card is also simple, and he only understands one thing: this graphics card is also optimized for the global multimedia standard. Although the graphics card itself only has 16 megabytes of video memory, the new technology can transfer some data to the standard G memory for calculation of the entire machine, which at the same time greatly improves the display effect.

After seeing this, Eagle understood that this entire computer is almost completely optimized according to the global technical standards.

Is this the purpose of cooperation between Universal and European computer manufacturers?

He has no time to care about these things for the time being, but he has paid the greatest attention to the performance of joint manufacturing.

The actual test effect made Eagle excited and wanted to yell.

The performance of the combined manufacturing machine is nearly twice as fast as Intel's chips in terms of data calculation! In terms of 3D image display, the Intel machine is far behind!

This also shows that whether it is ordinary commercial use or gaming, the performance of joint manufacturing has an overwhelming advantage over Intel!

Even, it has excellent image display. It can also be used for small graphics workstations!
