Most of the high-tech related enterprises are winner-take-all industries.

Especially in the chip industry.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE LITHOGRAPHY MACHINE NECESSARY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CHIPS, THE 7NM PROCESS OF THE NETHERLANDS ASML OCCUPIES 100% OF THE GLOBAL MARKET.

If Intel hadn't licensed the x86 architecture to several companies, including AMD, in response to the huge IBM and antitrust laws at the time, Intel would have easily monopolized 100% of the global market.

And to achieve its monopoly position, it depends on patented technical barriers.

The reason is very simple, I can't say what I researched, you can use it when you say it.

Must use?

It depends on what I think.

If you think it's okay, then give money and get authorization.

If I don't want to authorize it, I'm sorry, you can't use it.

What the?

I don't authorize you to find another way to compete with me with new products?

Then kill you before you go crazy and throw money at the so-called new products!

In short, Intel, which has been working in this field for decades, probably has 10,000 ways to kill a rising competitor, and the other party can only do nothing.

This time, for Huaxin Precision, Intel and AMD used the most rude method.

Price increase on the parent company!

It has risen to the point that you can only lose money when you sell a piece of equipment, and it depends on what you have to subsidize the money-burning industry that has been invested for many years and has not been produced.

This plan made them very proud for a while.

Because the negotiations with Huaxin Intelligent Manufacturing are progressing smoothly, the other party has loosened its mouth and will gradually cut off its support for Huaxin Precision in the future. The two parties are close to forming a formal contract.

However, no one expected that at this time, they suddenly ushered in a gentle knife from another Chinese science and technology company!

Brain-computer chips!

So this is a different way?

......

"Are there any specific technical parameters, or what can this brain-computer chip achieve?"

Instead of looking directly at the report, he asked.

The technical department must have studied this kind of technical document in depth before it was sent to his desk, and it was naturally more efficient to listen to the explanations of these high-level technical experts in the company than to go through the entire information.

"The exact technical parameters are not yet clear. As for the function realized, it is probably brain-computer interaction. We have received news that Huawei has developed a strategic plan around this chip. Before the official tape-out of this new chip, Huawei has begun to design a new generation of motherboards that reserve the position of this chip. ”

"It is expected that if this tape-out goes well, the next generation of Weihua products will be equipped with this chip and realize the direct interaction between the terminal and the brain. According to our predictions, the interaction of the first generation of brain-computer chips will probably stop at brainwave unlocking, or be able to implement simple functions such as screenshots. ”

Intel Chief Technology Mike Mebber explained.

President Stephen pondered for a moment and asked, "Okay, then tell me why this chip might threaten our position." ”

Mike glanced at Gary Parton beside him.

Dr. Parton is Intel's vice president and general manager of product design support, reporting directly to Mike Maeperly.

Parton nodded at Mike, and then explained: "The problem is that if this kind of brain-computer chip proves to be feasible and becomes the standard configuration of future electronic devices, then in the future, none of us can guarantee that there will be a brain-computer chip that integrates the function of the CPU." ”

"The chip that can realize brain-computer interaction is essentially an information transcoding and processing device, which itself needs strong algorithm support. And the architecture of computers is constantly evolving. The function of this generation of brain-computer chips may not be feared, but none of us can guarantee whether the next generation of brain-computer chips will have a more complete structure and more powerful functions. ”

"When people adapt to the existence of brain-computer chips, and every software designed by developers already needs to add support for brain-computer chips in the software development process, then no one dares to guarantee that Weihua or other companies will develop a new type of CPU architecture and integrate the functions of the central processing unit into a general-purpose brain-computer chip!"

"I believe you should know that if this day does appear in the future, it will be absolutely a catastrophe for Intel. Of course, it is a catastrophe for ARM, Qualcomm and other enterprises! Because the ambition of the Chinese people is obviously very large, this brain-computer chip is definitely not only used for mobile phones!"

With that, there was a long silence in the office.

While Parton is only talking about one possibility, according to Murphy's theorem, when you worry that something is going to happen, then it's more likely to happen.

When it comes to the competition of high-tech companies, the success rate of Murphy's theorem will increase exponentially.

Because of the situation that our own engineers can analyze, it is impossible to expect the other party not to consider this part.

And Weihua's R&D capabilities are there.

In other words, if the brain-computer chip changes several generations and is recognized by consumers, the two parties may have a period of peace, but during this peace period, the other party can calmly lay out, when the brain-computer chip has its own ecology in the integration of CPU functions......

Can't think about it.

It will make people shudder!

"Okay, gentlemen, do we have an alternative solution?" asked Intel President Stephen after a moment of silence.

"Or should we let our CPUs integrate brain-computer interaction first!" someone immediately gave an insight.

"Well, Mr. Phoenix, do you think this can be done overnight? If it's that simple, the other party is not a threat!"

"Mike, it's not simple, but now the Huaxia people have done it!"

"No, Mr. Phoenix, you got a concept wrong, the other party has only developed the first generation of brain-computer chips, and the difficulty of this is two concepts from the difficulty of adding brain-computer interaction to the CPU function!"

"But I want to warn you, Paton! Just now you said that the other party may be able to add CPU functions to brain-computer chips in the future!"

The crux of the problem is that when the other party uses brain-computer chips to build an ecosystem, we have nothing to do! And when we can integrate brain-computer interaction technology into the CPU chip, it is likely that the other party's ecology has been built! And we still need to bypass all the other party's patents!

"So as the company's technical officer, you mean we can only sit back and wait?"

"Alright!

Stephen took a deep breath, looked at the noisy executives, shook his head, and said, "I remember that you just reported that this technology belongs to a company called Changxiang Technology?"

"Yes, Mr. Stephen!"

"Okay, I need all the information about this company and the connection with Weihua. Also, in contact with China, we need the other party to give us an explanation. ”
