Chapter 328: Jobs says the 286 can't match Dragon Core!

Geluofu discovered he had become a clown!

Originally, Intel's 286 press conference in Silicon Valley, though not a hit, was generally considered successful, but today, in front of everyone, they had their fig leaf torn away!

Domestic American companies all preferred Dragon Core, believing the 286's performance couldn't match Dragon Core! This news will spread worldwide by tomorrow!

Especially, Geluofu couldn't match Jobs, yet he actually wanted to resort to violence.

Their conversation holds much potential for investigation—for instance, whether Geluofu is truly that overbearing within the company, and again, Intel, unable to sell its chips, resorts to forced buying and selling! Nintendo was even forced to accept ten thousand units!

Once this news gets out, it will only make Intel's situation more difficult, especially as the scandal erupts, the company's stock will plummet!

Thinking of this, Geluofu smiled and looked at the assembled reporters.

"Everyone, sorry, I just got a bit emotional; I didn't mean it that way, I..."

"Mr. Geluofu, what is the gap between your 286 processor and Dragon Core One?"

"Of course there's no gap; our 286 processor is the world's best microprocessor!"

"Then why didn't Apple choose it?"

"Obviously... because they never even tested our processor."

Geluofu wanted to clarify in front of the reporters, but his remarks would amount to slandering Apple, and the hot‑headed Jobs wouldn't give him face.

"No, we've tested it; we believe the 286 processor's performance is only half that of Dragon Core One!"

"Jobs, you're lying! Our 286 processor was just officially announced; the press conference ended and we came straight to the island nation—when did you test it?"

"I'm not lying; we've already purchased Dragon Core samples from the market, which can easily be overclocked to 20 megahertz, whereas our 286 processor… our company just finished full testing a few hours ago—namely, when I got off the plane, I received the results: it can at most be overclocked to 10 megahertz, and beyond that it either crashes or burns out."

"Enough, Jobs!"

"We previously just didn't know Dragon Core One had graphics rendering capabilities; now we believe it's Apple's best choice, and we will..."

"Don't say more, you idiot!"

"I'm just stating the facts; Apple won't reject the most suitable Dragon Core processor because of some nonsensical 'buy domestic' ideology. I think Intel needs to face its flaws: in the memory domain you can't compete with the island nation, and in microprocessors you can't compete with the East..."

Clang!

Jobs only felt a burst of little stars before his eyes, and his body toppled backward.

The scene descended into chaos.

Geluofu stared at the fallen Jobs, utterly dumbfounded—how had he lost control of his emotions, how could he strike someone? The key was, he'd been seen by so many people!

It's over, completely over!

Beside him, Qin Miao witnessed the whole process, feeling similarly: 'That guy really has a character flaw.' Now… should I go up and step on him?

"Mr. Geluofu, how could you do this?" At that moment, Shan Nei Pu had already stepped forward.

"You threatened and forced Nintendo, but that's forgivable—we're willing to pay to settle it. However, you can't treat Mr. Jobs like this; he's our guest, likewise an American! Someone, call an ambulance quickly!"

Pfft!

The agitated and angry Geluofu spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Click, click! Countless reporters pressed their shutters; today was Nintendo's Famicom press conference, yet the highlight turned out to be Intel—after all, a corporate executive spurting blood on the spot hasn't happened in decades!

Watching Geluofu being carried away, Qin Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alright, this old guy is totally done for, and Geluofu, in history, truly saved Intel; at the crucial moment he cut off his own arm like a warrior, decided to abandon the memory business and focus on processors—only then did he pull through.

And Geluofu, leaving Intel under the stain of scandal, the remaining people lack that resolve! Thus Intel will surely be dragged down!

"Mr. Geluofu, rest assured, we'll send the Famicom to Intel!"

Having just been placed on the ambulance, Geluofu again spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Sure enough, those devils are nasty enough!

Amid Qin Miao's reflections, a person approached.

"President Qin, after the meeting disperses, could we find time to discuss cooperation?"

"Of course, Mr. Jobs; if we join forces strongly, we can surely succeed in opening the Western market!"

"Our HP also hopes to purchase Dragon Core processors!" Packard couldn't stay seated either.

These companies successively expressed their intent to purchase Dragon Core; IBM executive Thomas, his face shifting several times, finally approached: "We IBM also wish to purchase Dragon Core!"

"Blue Giant!" This titan also wants to purchase Dragon Core, signifying that Dragon Core has fully opened the Western market!

Who would have thought it hinged on a game console?

If it hadn't been for opening the door for Nintendo, there wouldn't be today's hot sales! After today, Dragon Core will become the world's best‑selling processor! Chu Miaomiao's heart overflowed with emotion; every step San Shui took was profoundly meaningful!

Her man is absolutely the finest in the world!

"Everyone, today's press conference ends here; next, please go to our locality's most famous hotel to attend our banquet…" Shan Nei Pu was very excited.

He had already sensed the Famicom's hot sales, because it uses the most advanced chip of this era!

This is all thanks to President Qin! Without him, there would be no Nintendo's development! From now on, Nintendo must certainly continue cooperating with Dragon Core!

At the banquet, many local enterprise heads from the island nation also came up to cozy up.

"Mr. Qin, we NEC are the island nation's largest memory chip manufacturer; we should join forces strongly…"

"Sorry, our Dragon Core company only produces chips, not assembly; you need to promote domestically in our country… however, our Dragon Core company has already set a new memory standard; your produced memory chips had best conform to this standard…"

Dragon Core has monopolized the globe; next comes setting standards! These island‑nation firms must comply, or… the memory they produce won't match Dragon Core and will inevitably pile up unsold!

"Is that so? Please explain…"

"As processor development advances, memory access speed demands grow ever faster, so memory requirements rise accordingly; we have introduced Single Data Rate, abbreviated SDR, the synchronous dynamic random‑access memory standard, employing 2n prefetch technology…"

The assembled corporate leaders hurried to take notes. Which company can first develop memory meeting these technical standards will gain an advantageous position in future competition!
