The long river of time rolled forward, exhausted a few more products, eliminated a few more technologies, but among them, there may not be no ivy, they, dodged the wind knife and frost sword of the years, still always maintain youth and vitality. At least personally, in the current twenty-odd years of career, many products that were once contemporaries with desktop computers have withdrawn from the stage of history and have become the clouds of the past.
However, desktop computers still exist, and when they take computer classes at school and when they work at companies, they can be said to be everywhere.
However, the most core and important chip and operating system are still basically a combination of Microsoft and Intel. However, this situation will be gone forever, because 100% of pure domestic computers have emerged. So, how will this affect Microsoft and Intel? In the coming days, is there any hope for further development of domestic desktop computers?
100% domestic desktop computers are listed, or replace 50 million units within 2 years
On May 8 this year, loongson Zhongke official Weibo released a new news, recently, equipped with pure domestic chips and pure domestic operating systems, in the core components directly to achieve 100% pure localization of Baode Ziqiang Loongson desktop PT620L3 began to large quantities, a big stride to the market.
The Chinese core used by this desktop is Loongson 3A5000, this chip is a new generation of desktop CPU platform released by LoongArch in 2021, using LoongArch autonomous command system architecture, completely without foreign authorization, in terms of desktop operating system, Baode This desktop uses a lot of operating systems, but basically the mainland self-developed.
At present, there are three main desktop operating systems used by Baode Ziqiang Loongson Desktop PT620L3, namely UOS of Tongxin, Kirin of Huawei, and Wanlihong of Guoke Holdings.
I don't know if you remember, once the mainland desktop is basically Microsoft's desktop system with Intel's chip, and now, the news of this news means that the Wintel system in the desktop field has gradually disintegrated. Moreover, more importantly, on May 9 this year, it was also reported that mainland government agencies and state-owned enterprises were about to deploy 50 million domestic desktops to reduce the number of foreign desktops. So, how will this affect Intel and Microsoft?
What Microsoft and Intel don't want to see has emerged
On March 4 this year, according to Sina Technology news, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the shipment of desktops reached 5.6 million units, and shipments directly increased by 2.5% year-on-year. It can be seen from this that the current demand for desktops in the mainland domestic consumer market is still strong, and the current domestic consumer market in the field of desktops in the mainland is still broad.
But it is a pity that the mainland is moving towards pure localization step by step, and at that time, the former combination of Intel and Microsoft is likely to be impacted, and it will no longer have the market share of the past, and will not return to the economic benefits of the past.
In addition, in December last year, German cloud storage company Nextcloud joined forces with more than 30 other European software and cloud computing companies to form a "Level Playing Field Alliance" to complain about Microsoft's bundling behavior, arguing that this behavior has touched a monopoly. On April 6 this year, the European Commission decided to appeal to the European Court of Justice against the Ordinary Court's decision to overturn Intel's $1.06 billion fine on January 26, 2022.
It can be seen from this that whether it is a German company or the European Union, there is a lot of money that will not stop until Intel and Microsoft are fined. Nowadays, the mainland has implemented the localization of desktops in this way, so that Intel and Microsoft will further lose the mainland market, which will make the economic benefits of Intel and Microsoft worse.
In short, the emergence of 100% domestic desktops and the next development plan is undoubtedly the last thing Microsoft and Intel want to see. However, Microsoft and Intel, as a long-term monopoly of the existence of desktop chips and operating systems, want to impact, I am afraid it is not so easy, or need mainland domestic desktops to be able to further develop, then, is this possible?
Does the domestic desktop hope for further development?
Domestic desktops still have the hope of further development, first, in the process of popularization and replacement of domestic desktops, the attitude and behavior of many domestic enterprises are still relatively positive, take China Merchants Bank, on January 28, 2022, China Merchants Bank publicly stated on the investor interactive platform.
At present, it has begun to apply domestic desktop computers that meet the requirements of the information technology application innovation industry in the pilot application, and will gradually promote them as planned. It can be known from this that in terms of domestic desktops, its own market influence and market recognition in the mainland are not small, and domestic desktops may not be able to hope for further development and progress.
Second, on August 21, 2020, according to the digital blogger Digital Chat Station, Huawei's desktop has passed 3C certification, this desktop is equipped with Huawei's self-developed Kunpeng 920 chip, and the desktop operating system uses Unified Trust UOS. It can be seen that Huawei also has an incoming desktop.
As we all know, Huawei's annual investment in scientific research will basically be as high as more than 10% of the total revenue, basically every year to invest hundreds of billions, Huawei's high investment in scientific research, coupled with Huawei also has a desktop, with Huawei's strong money ability to invest, with its own strong research and development strength, may not be able to promote the further development and progress of domestic desktops.
summary
100% domestic desktop computers listed, the future may be replaced in two years fifty million units, Intel and Microsoft for many years of combination may be broken, Intel and Microsoft do not want to see the situation after all, hope that the future mainland domestic desktop can continue to work hard, and strive to achieve as soon as possible, dependence on foreign countries.
