Chapter 209: Intel's Crisis
Intel has many labs around the world, but the chip lab in California is Intel's proudest place, where it specializes in developing and designing chips, the original Core series, and now the i-series chips are all from this laboratory.
It can be said that this lab represents the highest standards for Intel and the world.
Intel's CEO, Robt, put down everything in his hands and waited anxiously for news from the lab in the headquarters building.
At the same time, there are also senior executives such as the CEO of Intel Daxia Kingdom, the head of the scientific research department, and the director of the marketing department.
Everyone is in a similar mood, knowing that if the new power of the Panruo chip is the same as advertised, then the days of Intel's monopoly will not be long.
The TV is still playing a column program of Xia Guo TV, which invites experts in Xia Guo chip and artificial intelligence to discuss the significance of the emergence of the Panruo chip to Xia Guo Technology.
Although neither Robt nor Intel's senior management could understand Chinese, looking at the passionate expressions of the experts on TV, everyone was not happy.
Robt's assistant waited in the office, and the information on the intranet appeared with the laboratory's test report on the Pranya chip.
The assistant could not read the jargon, and his task was to hand the report to the conference room.
In the conference room, Robt waited for three hours and finally got the test report of the laboratory on the Pranya chip. Looking at the contents of the report, the further back you go, the more alarming it becomes.
When he finished reading the last line, Robt's whole face changed.
He handed the report to Kagle, the head of the scientific research department, and did not speak.
"What a situation. Cagle muttered as he took the report, his face turning pale.
Intel's top brass finally couldn't help it and asked, "Cagle, what the hell is going on!"
"That's right, Cagle, what's going on now, you might as well tell me!"
Cagle glanced at Robt and closed the report after getting permission: "The process of the Panruo chip is 5nm, the material used is silicon carbide, and the performance is indeed as advertised, and it will be quite perfect if it is paired with the Pangu system." The chip does not support IN system and IOS system. ”
When saying this, Cagle paused and said: "Whether it is the material, process or performance of the chip, it far exceeds our current level, and I can say that I am sorry to say that if the chip can be mass-produced, then Intel will face an unprecedented crisis." ”
Robt's face became very solemn, "The opponent we are facing now is not AMD, not Qualcomm, not the fragile Xia Xin International, but Pangu Technology! This company almost drove Microsoft out of the Xia market, established its own Internet ecosystem, and now has entered the field of chips, which is quite a terrible company." ”
"Impossible! A company that's just been around for a year can develop a chip that surpasses ours?"
"Or what is the new semiconductor of silicon carbide, is it 5nm technology?"
Xia Guo has no foundation in chip technology, and even if they do, it is impossible to realize the design and production of chips in just a few months!"
"Is it copying our technology?"
The higher-ups are talking about it, they can't accept the results of the lab, that's a joke!
Robert said angrily: "Okay! Okay! You all give me a little quiet! What kind of stealing technology! Which of us has this technology? Our chip material is silicon carbide? Our process is 5nm? Can the performance of our chip be so good!?"
Robt slapped the table vigorously and said: "Put away your arrogant posture! We have met an opponent! A real opponent! We will first lose the market of Xia Country, then the European Union, and then the United States itself!"
Looking at the high-level team that had lost their fighting spirit because of high profits, Rob was angry, "Of course! Of course, we may still have the local market of the United States because of the protection of the rice market, but we have lost the future!"
Robt vented, and everyone quieted down and began to ponder.
The minister of the marketing department whispered: "It's not that serious! The other party has just sold 60,000 chips, and the revenue is only tens of millions of meters." We in Ingle have bought billions of chips, so it shouldn't pose much of a threat to our market......"
The minister's voice grew smaller and quieter as he spoke, as he saw Robt's gloomy eyes.
Robt took a deep breath and said to the marketing department: "The problem now is not how many chips they have made, but the problem of technological innovation! Don't you see that they have taken the lead in the market! They dare to sell chips to the price of 4,000 soft sister coins, which means that they have made money at this price! It shows that they are fully capable of increasing production capacity!!"
Robt's voice grew louder and louder, and the conference room was silent.
"Research Department, what is your opinion?"
The Minister of Scientific Research, Kagle, said: "I read the experimental report in detail, and the pressure we are facing is indeed very great! Silicon carbide has two advantages worth paying attention to, one is that it is resistant to high temperatures and generates less heat, which makes the chip do not need heat sinks and fans during operation. The second is that he has a high degree of integration, the same performance of the chip, the volume of silicon carbide will be smaller, this time Pangu Technology released less than a quarter of a fingernail, smaller than Qualcomm mobile chips!
Cagle quickly adjusted Intel's R&D thinking, saying: "Our lab continues to advance our 10nm chip R&D plan, but we can't give up the technology on the Pangu chip side. ”
"What do you mean?"
Cagle said: "Xia Guo has stolen the technology of Shanzhai Mi for so many years, and we can also learn from the technology of Pangu Technology. Who said that the technology must be developed in-house?"
The higher-ups nodded, and this does make sense!
In the field of technology, you plagiarize me, I plagiarize you, you plagiarize me, I plagiarize you are all normal business methods.
Intel didn't dare to pat its chest and say, all my current scientific research and technology is developed independently, and there are many rival technologies, otherwise how did so many intellectual property disputes come about every year?
"I know that Pangu Technology has talent in the global photo chip industry, and our people can plug in and find out. ”
This is Cagle's scheme.
Rob nodded and said: "This is feasible, in addition, we have to do the work of the congressman, and we must not let Pangu enter the rice market, nor can it enter the EU market!"
