Chapter 390: Criteria Selection
Intel Integrated Electronics Corporate Headquarters, California, USA. The news from the New Orleans Convention Center was the first to reach headquarters.
"There is such a technology!" Intel's senior management was surprised after repeatedly confirming that the news was correct!
Over the past 50 years, Intel has been holding the core technology in the field of computers, selling its own microprocessors all over the world, standing at the top of the industry!
However, today, Hongxin Group has actually surpassed them, and it is still such a big gap, how can it not make them feel surprised and afraid?
"There is news that the IEEE Association and the world's TOP500 organization are ready to rank Hongxin Group's quantum computer as the world's supercomputer!"
In Intel's remote network conference room, several important people are discussing the matter in a secret network meeting.
"That ranking isn't very useful, it doesn't matter. A voice said.
"But the next commercial quantum computer standards must not be given to them!"
"Hmm!" everyone agreed.
The American computer industry has been formulating relevant standards for computers all over the world, which is an important means for them to obtain wealth from the world market, and it is also the cornerstone of the monopoly industry.
"I'm afraid it's a bit tricky, now that they've shown off their quantum computers, when it comes to voting, I'm worried that many companies and institutions will vote for Hongxin Group!" said an elderly man who is one of Intel's shareholders.
"This must not be allowed to happen!" said Intel's current president in a firm tone.
If it is a normal vote, it is probably that they are competing with IBM and Google, both of which are American companies, and their strength is not weak, and the voting results can be relatively fair.
But if it is Hongxin Group that may win, then the voting results will have to be operated again!
"Contact the Computer Association and the Ministry of Commerce and Information Security of the People's Republic of China, and they will definitely not be able to sit still. ”
Similar scenes are also happening in IBM, Google and other companies, they have a tacit understanding on the quantum computer standard voting, and they must not let Hongxin Group become the standard of the world's new superconducting quantum computers, otherwise they will fall off the altar from now on, and the communication industry has been, facing the fear of being dominated by Hongxin!
It has been two days since Hongxin demonstrated the superconducting quantum computer.
Over the course of two days, the news was reported by media outlets around the world.
Especially in Huaxia, the front-page news is this: "Hongxin Group has developed the world's first super quantum computer, the world's fastest computing speed!"
Netizens praised it one after another, and the official even immediately held a relevant meeting, saying that they would vigorously promote the development of China's high-tech industry and so on.
Of course, there are many netizens who don't understand what a quantum computer is.
At the New Orleans Convention Center, the Global Supercomputing Conference has been going on for four days and is about to begin voting on quantum computer standards.
"Each business and institution has only one vote. Su Zhirong took the news she had just gotten and reported it to Lu Zixin.
"There are a total of 80 enterprises, universities or institutions with voting rights, of which the United States accounts for more than 40 percent, and only seven institutions in China, including Hongxin Group, Lianxiang Group, and Huaxia Computer Research Institute, have voting rights, and the others are from all over the world. ”
"Well, then we should have seven votes. Lu Zixin analyzed, "The rest depends on other enterprises and institutions." ”
"If nothing else, our criteria should be voted for. Su Zhirong smiled slightly, "More than half of the institutions that have contacted us in the past few days have been contacted!"
"I'm afraid of accidents, but this is the United States. Lu Zixin helped her brush her hair and said in a low voice.
"Accident, are they still playing the inside story?" Su Zhirong frowned slightly, "This is a world academic conference!"
"I don't know, wait for the result. Anyway, no matter what the result is, our technology and products have been made, and it is the same whether they recognize it or not. Lu Zixin was not very worried.
The core purpose of Hongxin Group to participate in the Global Supercomputing Conference is to let peers all over the world show their technology, and now the core purpose has been achieved, which is basically a success.
......
On the fifth day of the conference, voting officially began.
Representatives from 80 companies, institutions and universities were already seated, and the IEEE Society and the Association for Computing Machinery were jointly responsible for the voting.
Lancelot, president of the IEEE Society, and Walter, president of the Association for Computing Machinery, gave short presentations, respectively.
"Before we vote, we will once again introduce quantum computer standards from seven research institutions around the world for your reference," said Tolan Bell, vice president of the IEEE Association. ”
"First up is IBM International Business Machines ......"
"Finally, the quantum computer standard developed by Hongxin Group, the superconducting quantum computer displayed by Hongxin Group is indeed amazing at present, and if it can also be used in commercial quantum computers, I think it will be a blessing for the entire industry. ”
Tolan Bell seemed to be a compliment, but it reminded some of the members present. Yes, the theme of this vote is commercial quantum computers, IBM, Intel are showing commercial quantum computers that have taken shape, and this one of Hongxin Group is not yet known in terms of commercialization.
Voting will then begin, with each delegate being able to choose only one company's criteria.
For the sake of fairness, each delegate's vote is displayed on the public screen and can be seen. At the beginning, Lu Zixin chose his company without hesitation.
Like him, several institutions from Huaxia also voted for Hongxin Group, with seven votes.
Lu Zixin looked at the electronic screen, and now, in addition to Hongxin Group, Intel, IBM and Google also got seven or eight votes.
The other standards are all not a vote, and everyone knows that the final result is between the standards of these companies.
A minute passed, and the votes changed again.
Hongxin Group received 18 votes, Intel 17 votes, IBM 17 votes, Google 12 votes, and sixteen representatives are waiting.
Everyone is silent, and the votes in their hands may determine the future of an industry!
Lu Zixin looked at them and saw that most of them were white-skinned, and almost all of the remaining people were representatives of scientific research institutions in the United States and Europe.
Three people chose to vote at the same time, Intel had two votes and Hongxin Group had one vote.
The representative of the Red Letter Group also smiled politely at Lu Zixin, and Lu Zixin replied with a kind smile.
"There are thirteen more delegates, please make your choice as soon as possible. The president of the Association for Computing Machinery said, "Choose the better standard!"
Walter's eyes swept over several delegates, as if they were meaningful.
