512: Chapter 512 The New Graphics Card! Old Huang's Knife Skill

"It's fine!"

"If lowering prices benefits our partners, that wouldn't matter. But the problem now is that things we worked so hard to achieve are being shamelessly promoted by certain companies... That is not a good thing."

"You mean we sign contracts with them so we don't engage in a price war, and they don't have to be overly nervous." Zhang Mingzhu confirmed again, "But wouldn't we be at a disadvantage this way?"

"We are about to have our second child soon; how would this little family fortune be enough for the children to split? So... the person who can make us suffer a loss hasn't even been born yet!"

"Rest assured, this time I will definitely be able to negotiate a proper contract with them."

Looking at him like that, Zhang Mingzhu had already guessed what he would do next... She hoped those people would learn to be smarter, otherwise, they would definitely be swindled by Shen Fei until not even their bones were left.

Therefore, Shen Fei demanded that they come to the Transsion base on June 20th to visit. Let them witness the power of TFS storage and make them surrender on their own.

But just at this moment, a knock on the door sounded again. Professor Li Jiahui and Leather-Jacket Huang walked in together, both of them wearing uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

Among them, Old Huang was holding a technical document with the NVIDIA logo in his hand.

"Boss, our project here has finally landed." He placed the report on the table, unable to hide the excitement in his tone.

"The Maxwell architecture flagship card, the GTX980, successfully taped out at Wafer Fab No. 1 last week. The current overall yield rate is 99.9%, which fully meets mass production standards."

Hearing 99.9%, Shen Fei instantly understood that... the yield rate of this chip might not be that high, but Old Huang had made full use of these defective products.

As for the Maxwell architecture, this was not the architecture from the previous life, but a brand-new upgraded Maxwell Pro combined with Transsion technology. The performance was a full 1.5 times higher than the original PPT.

When he started looking at the report, Old Huang had already displayed his "sword technique": "Boss, based on the production line's yield, we have planned four models for the desktop side this time. The flagship GT has a core frequency of 1326MHz and is equipped with 4GB of TFS2.0 video memory. The performance is 126% higher than the previous generation GTX780."

Speaking of this, Old Huang suddenly sighed; he hadn't controlled his "sword technique" well this time... It was all due to the new architecture and this damn yield rate. But that was fine too... A new series had been added, which could better harvest the leeks.

In addition, the GT is the same, except the core frequency was cut to 1126MHz. After briefly lamenting his masterpiece, he continued: "The sub-flagship's performance is well controlled. The GTX970 has had other specifications slightly reduced, with performance roughly 80% of the 980, focusing on cost-effectiveness."

Shen Fei suddenly laughed in surprise; if he wasn't holding the price list in his hand, he would have definitely believed Old Huang's nonsense. After all, the price of 6999 yuan was a sudden idea from Old Huang, which couldn't be compared to the previous life. But the 5499 for the GTX980 was a full 1499 less than the last time... He was very black-hearted.

Having joined Transsion for so long, he still hadn't been influenced by Transsion; this fellow... [Old Huang: Who did I learn this from?]

Of course, besides these high-priced products, there were also the mainstream GTX750 and GTX750, which targeted the thousand-yuan market, with energy efficiency crushing all products in the same class. But even the lowest one would cost 999 yuan.

Besides this, the mobile side design was also completed simultaneously, the GTX980M and GTX970M...

"Boss, these two graphics cards have already received multiple orders, and we can supply gaming laptop manufacturers in July. And this time our cost..." Speaking of this, Leather-Jacket Huang instantly stretched out his fingers and secretly gestured a number underneath. Shen Fei was instantly shocked.

Although this generation cost 20% more than the last, the price had increased by two times; one had to say that after changing to this new architecture, Old Huang was truly very...

Since NVIDIA was acquired by Huaxin Investment, the United States also thought about supporting third-party companies, but the technical barriers for graphics cards were a bit high. Plus, at that time, Shen Fei had already packed up and taken away the technology of all related companies, so... Although the United States was very angry, they couldn't say anything. After all, with Transsion supporting Old Huang, they had only done one thing in the past few years: starve out any manufacturer that wanted to enter the graphics card market.

As long as they announced a new product, the GTX series would adjust its price... The main point was that it didn't matter if they made money or not, as long as the competitors were starved to death.

"Having pretended for so many years, it's time to see the world." Shen Fei put down the report, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and then signed his name on the report. "No need to wait for the press conference to warm up; let's send some signals to the market first."

After speaking, he picked up his phone and opened Weibo. Digital Chat Station: "Got my hands on this year's graphics cards... NVIDIA also leaked some gossip. Maybe... the money everyone saved on storage will be going into NVIDIA's pocket. But don't worry, the performance is worth the price!"

Sure enough, not long after this Weibo post was sent out, it immediately attracted a lot of long-awaited attention. Lan Yangyang Assistant: "To summarize, this year's GTX graphics card performance has improved significantly; the bad news is that the price will increase."

"Damn it! No way? Transsion, are you really this ruthless? If you raise the price, I'll go choose..." "Choose what? Other competitors were long played to death by Transsion; a price increase is inevitable."

Wang Dashao: "Price is not an issue; I just want to know how strong the performance really is?"

"Old Huang, please be a human being; I beg you to price it conscientiously. Students are preparing to build PCs for the summer vacation and are just waiting for the new cards... Attached image: RAM stick."

"To the person above, you buy Samsung RAM sticks and still want Transsion to give you a discount; how is that possible?"

With Li Qing's promotion, bloggers in the PC building circle speculated one after another, wanting to know exactly how strong the improvement of this generation was.

Not long after, Digital Chat Station exposed again: "This time it uses the Maxwell Pro architecture, achieving an epic improvement in energy efficiency. It's not just the flagship card; the entry-level cards are an even bigger surprise. Of course, the price is also surprising."

#NVIDIA New Graphics Card# #NVIDIA Price Increase# ...

On June 13th, NVIDIA's global official website and social media simultaneously updated the press conference teaser. Against a black background, a rising dynamic wallpaper seemed to be saying something. "Global launch on June 15th!" There was also a line of small text at the bottom: Globally unified pricing!
