Chapter 697: Xingyi graphics card is back to its original state? Sales volume cut in half again?

"This technological feast has come to an end. All products have been launched on major platforms and are now available for sale. Thank you for your support!"

Wang Yi said with a smile: "If you place an order now, the Ele.me rider will deliver the goods to your door. If you place an order early, you can experience the charm of the new product and the power of RTX 970 in about half an hour!"

At this point, the press conference was over, the rush to buy broke out quickly, and public opinion was completely boiling:

"Xingyi laptops and desktops are really tough, with the latest generation of Xeon graphics cards and CPUs. Many competitors will only have these configurations next year, so we are far ahead."

"Yes, other brands with the same level of configuration will really be available in January or March next year."

"We can't help it. Nvidia is too lame. The GTX 970 has just been released, and the OEM version of the GTX 970 has probably not started mass production yet. It will take a long time for the relevant models to be launched on the market. The large-scale launch will definitely be early next year!"

"Buy early and enjoy early. I have placed an order for the Xingyi gaming laptop Y5000. The rider has accepted the order and it is expected to be delivered in half an hour!"

"I have a limited budget, so I bought a G7. I can play 720A games with 3P quality."

"For non-heavy 3A game users, the G7 is sufficient and has a high cost-performance ratio."

"My Y5000, the rider is already delivering, haha."

"I ordered a Xingyi desktop computer. How can it be delivered? One rider can't deliver it!"

"Yeah, my all-in-one machine is also difficult."

"Don't worry. I've already asked Xingyi Technology officials. Desktop computers and all-in-one computers cannot be delivered by riders. They will be shipped from nearby satellite warehouses and distributed by Xingyi Logistics. They will be delivered in one or two hours for nearby ones and half a day for far ones."

"That's great. It's so hot, I really don't want to go out."

"I can't wait any longer. I've already placed an order online and will pick it up offline."

"The RTX 970 graphics card I bought has arrived. The rider just delivered it and I'm ready to install it!"

"Oh my god, so efficient? I'll place my order as soon as possible."

……

Looking at these public opinions, consumers are so enthusiastic that the CEOs of major brand manufacturers are all pale.

Lenovo CEO Yang's mouth twitched: "The previous Xingyi Ultrabook S1 series caused our Lenovo Ultrabook and Thinkpad sales to be cut in half. Now Xingyi desktops, Xingyi gaming notebooks, all-in-one notebooks, and all-in-one computers are all here. Will Lenovo face a comprehensive cut in sales?"

The CEO of Asus also had a gloomy expression on his face: "This is a big problem! Our existing products are outdated in performance and are no match for Xingyi Computer. We may not be able to compete with them!"

HP's CEO was even more worried:
"HP's all-in-one notebooks, ordinary desktops, and all-in-one computers either have no independent graphics cards or integrate rubbish independent graphics cards. They are not as powerful as Xingyi Technology's core graphics cards of the same price! How can they be sold? Oh, sales are going to collapse!"

Dell's CEO also looked solemn: "The products we sell have integrated discrete graphics cards such as GTX 720, GTX 750, GTX 760, GTX 770M, and GTX 770. Xingyi Technology's products are RTX 970M and RTX 970, which are comparable to the newly released GTX 970 graphics cards. They are a full generation ahead of us. How can we compare? There is no comparison!"

……

Just when all the big PC bosses were terrified, Xingyi Technology's hot sales were in full swing!
The difference is that this time, it’s not just the Xingyi gaming laptops, all-in-one laptops, all-in-one computers, and desktops that are hot-selling, but also the Xingyi graphics card RTX 970!

Even the sales volume of RTX 970 graphics cards is higher than that of Xingyi gaming laptops and desktops!
Especially in the domestic market, RTX 970 was a hot seller.

There is no way. The domestic public version of the GTX 970 has not yet been launched on the market, and it has a single fan, so the heat dissipation is poor.

The retail non-public version also requires a one-month wait, and is more expensive.

Most importantly, the performance improvement is not much compared to RTX 970.

Therefore, many users simply give up waiting for the non-official version of GTX 970 and directly purchase RTX 970!

Even if it is an overclocked version sold for retail purposes, the performance may be 5% higher, but it is yuan more expensive and will be launched later, which is meaningless.

The most important thing is that if there is a problem with the graphics card of a third-party brand, the after-sales service is actually very troublesome.

Many brands are divided into regions. The domestic version can only be repaired domestically and will be useless if it is repaired abroad.

vice versa.

There are also few after-sales outlets, and many brands, such as MSI graphics cards, only cover first-tier cities.

If there is a problem in other cities, the time for sending and repairing the product will take months.

But Xingyi graphics cards are different. They have global warranty, and Xingyi flagship stores around the world are equipped with after-sales service centers. There are after-sales outlets everywhere, which is very convenient.

Due to various factors, the RTX 970 graphics card is a hot seller!
The next day.

High-level meeting, review of the first sale of new products.

"Chairman, this time the RTX 970 is a success and is selling well all over the world."

Yu Longxing was full of excitement: "In just 24 hours, RTX 970 global sales exceeded 20!"

"so much!"

Wang Yi was delighted as the first sales results far exceeded his expectations.

"We have to thank our competitor's GTX 970 public version for not being good enough and the non-public version not being released to the market, haha!" Yu Longxing laughed with a hint of gloating.

Zhu Changlin also agreed: "If the retail non-public version is launched, our sales will be cut in half, but they are not on the market and there is no stock, so that is our home ground."

Wang Yi nodded, "That makes sense. Nvidia's influence in the graphics card field is still very large. It's just that the public version with a single fan is very disappointing. We must seize this opportunity and ship it out as soon as possible! When the retail non-public version is launched, the sales volume will be discounted. And I guess the retail non-public version graphics card will be launched in advance, right?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Jian Ziyan projected a series of information onto the big screen:
"As you can see, in October, graphics card manufacturers such as Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte will give priority to selling the higher-priced and more profitable non-official version of GTX 980. The non-official version of GTX 970 will only be sold in small quantities and will be sold in large quantities next month."

"But we released the RTX 970 yesterday, which is selling well all over the world, posing a huge threat to the sales of the GTX 970."

"Today, brands such as ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte have changed their strategies and are putting non-official graphics cards on the shelves for retail in advance! The manufacturers who acted quickly have already started pre-sales today!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed: "So fast!"

"From the large-scale sales next month, they are directly promoted to the sales on the 3rd. This has a huge impact. It is also too efficient."

"They are determined to kill our RTX 970. We are in big trouble."

Wang Yi remained calm: "How much are they pricing?"

"In terms of price, the retail non-official version with ordinary dual fans and triple fans + heat pipe cooling is priced at around 2700 yuan, which is 200 yuan more expensive than ours."

"The top-end overclocked version is priced at around 3000, 500 more expensive than ours!"

Wang Yi nodded: "They moved quickly enough. The price is about the same as expected. They didn't drop the price drastically because of the release of our RTX 970. This shows that they don't have enough stock!"

Song Si Ning agreed very much: "I think so too. If they have sufficient stock, they will definitely lower the price, or even start a price war to kill our RTX 970. But if the stock is insufficient, it will be out of stock soon, and it will be difficult to get spot goods in a short period of time, so there is no need to lower the price."

Yu Longxing breathed a sigh of relief: "So, the launch of non-official versions by major retail brands will have an impact on us, but it is limited. In other words, it is temporary. Seeing that non-official versions are out of stock and official versions are not strong, consumers will still choose our RTX 970 with sufficient supply!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, the key lies in when the non-public version of graphics cards from major brands will be in sufficient supply and when they will be launched on the market on a large scale! This is not just a competition of graphics card performance, but also a race against production capacity and time!"

Everyone agreed that no matter how powerful the performance is, it is useless without the product!
Even if the performance is 5% weaker, as long as the price is right and the production capacity is sufficient, it can still sell well!
Wang Yi continued: "I guess all the major brands have urged NVIDIA to deliver GPU chips as soon as possible. NVIDIA will also speed up the delivery and urge TSMC to mass-produce GTX 970 GPU chips as soon as possible! I'm afraid it won't be long before the non-official version of GTX 970 will be in sufficient supply and fully available for sale. This time point will not be next month, but the end of the month, or even earlier!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Once the retail non-official version goes on sale, it will have a huge impact on the RTX 970.

The non-public version sold at retail also has dual or even triple fans + heat pipes, and its performance is much stronger than the public version of GTX 970, and comparable to RTX 970.

Moreover, these old and large companies have high user recognition and a large number of fans.

Even if the performance is similar, many users prefer these old and famous manufacturers!

Especially the overclocked version, which is 970% more powerful than RTX 5!

By then, the RTX 970 will definitely suffer a huge impact and be besieged by a series of major graphics card manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, and GALAX.

This is not a good thing.

Yu Longxing looked solemn: "Chairman, I will pay close attention to the dynamics of major manufacturers and grasp their actions."

"Well, once the major manufacturers launch it on a large scale, we will immediately detonate our nuclear weapons! We can't wait!"

Wang Yi spoke calmly, and everyone smiled:

"Yes, let's do it. If they push GTX 970 ahead of time and put it on the market in large quantities ahead of time, we will detonate the video memory scandal ahead of time and make them finished!" "By then, even the retail non-public overclocked version of GTX 970 will be miserable, not as good as our RTX 970, not to mention that they are selling it at a high price!"

"That's right, we can't lose this battle!"

Wang Yi smiled and said, "It's like that with graphics cards, how are the sales of other products?"

"Chairman, CPU sales have also increased dramatically. X3, X5, and X7 CPU sales have all increased by more than 50%!"

"Oh? Such a huge increase? These are all new products that were released before, and now they suddenly increase dramatically!"

Wang Yi was a little surprised: "Is it because the power of RTX 970 proves Xingyi Semiconductor's strength in the graphics card field? It boosts our influence?"

"That's right, Chairman." Williams said with a smile, "In our previous CPU promotion, we emphasized how powerful our integrated graphics are, how powerful they are, and how comparable they are to Nvidia's entry-level, mid-range and low-end discrete graphics cards... but many consumers don't believe it at all."

"They will think that we only have the ability to develop CPUs and have never made graphics cards. How powerful can the integrated core graphics be? It must be overrated and all exaggerated!"

"But this time, the RTX 970, our first discrete graphics card, directly competes with Nvidia's sub-flagship GTX 970. It became a hit in one fell swoop, demonstrating our strong graphics card R&D capabilities to the world!"

"Now everyone knows that our graphics card R&D capabilities are terrifying, and everyone knows our strength. They also begin to believe that our CPU integrated core graphics is really powerful."

"After all, for a company that can produce discrete graphics cards that rival Nvidia's sub-flagship, it's no big deal to produce integrated graphics cards."

“消费者也开始相信我们X3、X5集成的核显，堪比入门级独显，吊打英特尔四代I5、I7。X7集成的核显，更是堪比入门级中端显卡GTX 750，能玩720P 3A！”

"As a result, users who were planning to buy Intel CPUs have started to buy Xingyi CPUs."

“Hahaha.” Wang Yi laughed: “That’s great. I guess Intel has already started cursing.”

Zhu Changlin was also in a good mood: "The memory issue has not yet exploded, so the impact on Nvidia is limited. But Intel's CPU was hit hard by the integrated graphics of our Xingyi CPU, which is really serious and unsolvable. After all, Intel's integrated graphics have been lagging for more than three to five years."

"That's great. I hope this growth can continue. It's time for the duopoly of Intel and Nvidia to change," said Wang Yi.

Then I started to pay attention to other data.

Just as Wang Yi expected, all-in-one computers, desktop computers, gaming laptops, and all-around laptops are selling very well.

At the same price, Xingyi computer has better performance!

With the same performance, Xingyi computer has a lower price!
Plus the domestic graphics card, domestic CPU, domestic XOS system, and super high appearance...

Xingyi Technology's desktops, laptops, and all-in-one computers are all selling well.

This continued for the next few days.

However, the changes in the graphics card market are not optimistic.

With the launch of non-official version of GTX 970 graphics cards by major retail brands, the sales volume of RTX 970 graphics cards has been cut in half.

On the first day, global sales of RTX 970 reached 20 units.

The sales volume on the second day was also 160,000 copies.

But on the third day, sales were halved to just 8 copies!

By the fourth day, sales had only reached 40,000 copies!
Seeing this scene, Nvidia was in a good mood:
"Chairman, the data from major platforms is very clear. The sales of the Xingyi graphics card RTX 970 have been cut in half. Today's sales are probably only 970. However, the retail sales of our GTX 13 non-public version have exceeded ! The situation has completely reversed. Adding the public version sales, the daily sales are about ."

"Haha, that's right!"

Old Huang was overjoyed: "How could our dignified graphics card giant Nvidia be defeated by a mere Xingyi Technology? It's Tiangang!"

"That's right. The Xingyi graphics card RTX 970 was selling well before, purely because of the limitation of our public version GTX 970 single fan, and the retail non-public version was not on the market. Starting from the past two days, the retail non-public version has been launched in large quantities, and Xingyi Technology has no chance of success. I estimate that in the next few days, the sales volume of Xingyi graphics card RTX 970 will remain at around per day!"

"Very good, this is the right pace. But even if they sell 30,000 copies, they are lucky. Look at AMD, I'm afraid that a single model doesn't even sell 10,000 copies a day."

"That's right, if NVIDIA and Xingyi Technology fight, AMD will die first!"

"Haha, if we can use Xingyi Technology to get rid of the AMD graphics card, that's not bad. But I'm afraid that driving a tiger to swallow a wolf will cause endless troubles!"

Old Huang had a solemn expression on his face. For some reason, he felt a deep fear towards Xingyi Technology!

"Then we'll kill them all and send them away together!"

"Well, that's about right. Let's see how low Xingyi Technology's sales volume drops today."

"I estimate it to be at most 30,000." Charles vowed.

"Too many. According to the sales rate of Xingyi graphics cards, 970 cards were sold the day before yesterday, cards were sold yesterday, and today the maximum number of RTX cards is ." Francis waved his hand.

Kolster also nodded: "That's right. In the future, the Xingyi graphics card will maintain a daily sales level of less than 10,000, just like AMD, which is their reasonable fate. But today's sales should be 20,000."

"I think there's thirty thousand. Let's make a bet!" Charles was addicted to gambling.

"Let's gamble. Whoever loses pays. It's a one-stop arrangement!"

"Okay. Chairman, witness..."

On this day, everyone at NVIDIA was very excited, and Huang was also very happy.

I just feel that the sales volume of Xingyi graphics cards has been halved, and it is completely over. It is no longer a rival to GTX 970.

After get off work in the evening, Lao Huang personally treated several executives to a full-scale party...

It was not until the next morning that several people returned to the company, exhausted and drunk.

"Quick, let's see how many RTX 970s were sold yesterday. Was it or ?" Kolst was full of anticipation.

"It must be 30,000. I must have won, haha." Charles said.

"You guessed wrong. Twenty thousand, that's twenty thousand. I should be the winner." Francis was still confident.

Old Huang waved his hand and said, "Don't argue anymore. Just check and you'll know."

"Okay, I'll check and make them give up. Remember, if you lose the bet, you'll have to accept the loss. If it's more than 30,000, Francis, you'll have to treat me to a good time tonight! And Corst, you treat me tomorrow night!"

"No problem, I'm just afraid that you will lose. Then you will have to treat both of us, hahaha!" Francis said with a smile.

Kolster looked directly at his assistant: "Elena, tell us, how many RTX 970s did Xingyi Technology sell yesterday?"

Elena was a little hesitant: "I..."

"Don't mention numbers, just tell us who won and let Charles give up!" Francis said.

"Yes, just tell me who wins." Kolster also spoke.

"This..." Elena was even more embarrassed.

"What? How much did you sell for? Just tell me directly." Old Huang frowned. This bitch is keeping us in suspense!

"Chairman, none of the three of them won."

"You didn't win?"

Hearing this, several people were stunned: "What do you mean?"

Soon, Corst came to his senses: "I see, could it be that the sales of RTX 970 yesterday were too low, so the three of us guessed too much and lost?"

Francis was stunned for a moment, then nodded:
"That should be the case. It seems that the sales of RTX 970 yesterday were only over . Among the three of us, two guessed over , and one guessed over . In the end, we all lost!"

"Hahaha, that must be the case!"

"So, the three of us all lost?" Charles breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also worried that he had lost.

Old Huang waved his hand and said, "It's not that all three of you lost, but that we all won. We, NVIDIA, won!"

Xia Er responded quickly: "Yes, Xingyi Technology's RTX 970 was defeated on the fifth day after its launch, with sales of only more than 1 units. It was really terrible. This is a victory for us NVIDIA! The chairman will treat us."

"Okay, I'll continue to treat you tonight!"

Old Huang was in a good mood, but he found that Elena's expression opposite him became more unnatural.
