And the people in China also have several different attitudes, the first is naturally applauded, so many years, China has encountered a lot of things in the international arena, but most of them are protesting, not many people really take action, and this time, although it happened suddenly, but the Chinese government is not only who reacted quickly, but even the relevant reaction is also very exciting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info.

It's not a protest, it's a-for-tat ban on the export of the same kind of goods, the difference is yes, you don't let your domestic company sell this kind of goods to me, and I don't let my domestic companies sell this kind of goods to me, so, here's the problem? Which one is stronger in chip technology? This mule is a horse out for a walk. Because as we all know, chip technology, whether it is the server CPU with reduced instruction set architecture produced by IBM in the United States, or the CPU with complex instruction set architecture produced by Intel, these all occupy a considerable share in the international market.

Especially Intel, once in a monopoly position in the personal PC market, the market share is as high as about 80%, which is almost in a monopoly position, although there is still an AMD, but AMD has no way to compete with Intel in high-end products, especially in the server CPU, AMD's CPU is used by too few people.

Although its market share in personal PCs is not bad, it is estimated that Intel deliberately gave up part of the market share in order to avoid being subject to anti-monopoly investigations, otherwise, Intel does not need to do anything else, only needs to reduce the current very profitable chip profits by about 30%, and AMD will be able to sweep out immediately.

But in this case, Intel will face a monopoly situation, and it may face a spin-off and so on. So whether it is IBM or Intel's CPUs have been tested by the market, but there is no market inspection for Chinese goods, and even everyone has not heard of this company before, but although they have not heard of it, this CPU has not been tested by the market.

However, there is one thing that everyone knows, that is, graphene technology is indeed a technology that governments are tackling in various countries, because whoever succeeds in the research of this technology first can mean that it will dominate the future energy world in advance, and even the chip world, etc., the traditional silicon transistor computer has almost come to an end, because the limit of silicon is 7 nanometers, and now, Intel's latest CPU has reached 22 nanometers of technology, and there is not much distance to 7 nanometers.

This means that new technologies must be adopted, graphene is everyone's next step, and now, China is the first to expose this, although IBM has generated such a CPU in its own laboratory before, but it is in the laboratory use environment, not the ordinary use environment, the gap between the two is too big.

There is still a long way to go from the laboratory to large-scale widespread application, so many people are waiting to see if the Chinese government is just announcing that it is gambling with the U.S. government, or whether this company has really come up with relevant products.

The outside world is still speculating, but the atmosphere in the internal meeting of Intel has been extremely tense, "Everyone should know what happened, let's talk about your opinions?" ”

"My view is simple, you're all directors of Intel, and I think you should focus on influencing the senators you can. Forcing the U.S. government to revise this embargo plan, if nothing else, the other party's graphene CPU, whether it is true or not, this point, I believe everyone has some amount in their hearts. We know how far our own CPU can go, and in fact, we have increased our investment in CPU for more than half a year. Barrett, chairman of the Intel board of directors, said directly.

"It's not so alarmist, is it? Although our progress is very slow, so China has less technical reserves in this area, can they complete the relevant design and production? A board member asked, incredulously.

"Yours is very reasonable, but we can't use common sense to describe China, when China was founded in 1949, what was there in the country? I believe that as long as you can get a B in the history of middle school, you should know that when China was founded in 49 years, the whole country could have nothing, even the basic industrial facilities were a zero, but 15 years later, in 1964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully developed and detonated! In 15 years, from nothing to the development of the atomic bomb, what is the huge scientific gap in between? ”

"The reason why I am doing this, you can compare our Manhattan Project in the United States, how much money and manpower the United States has invested, and almost all the talents of all American universities at that time have been united to tackle key problems, and can Chinese university talents compare with us? Can the money compare to us? And in those years, China also experienced a rare three-year natural disaster. You don't need me to have more R&D capabilities for such a terrifying R&D ability, right? ”

"So, I don't want you to take it lightly, guys! I'm sure you all know one thing, that is, we can't lose our market, if this is true, then with the US government's embargo, and the Chinese government launched its own graphene CPU, if it is true, then because of the embargo, we will lose the entire server market in China in a very short period of time! Next, can we still hold on to the personal PC market? ”

"Paul, I don't think it's so mysterious, I admit that China's pace of catching up with the world economy has amazed everyone in the world, whether it's us or the West, but it's not just a question of who catches up, it also involves a question of technical reserves, and what about them in terms of relevant technical architecture? Is it plagiarism from ours? Didn't get our patent before. ”

There are all kinds of discussions in the entire board of directors, but the whole is roughly divided into two groups, the first group is not willing to believe that China has made relevant achievements in this area, and does not believe that China has been able to develop ultra-cutting-edge computing chips such as graphene CPUs.

The other group is willing to believe, and then increase Intel's research investment in this area, etc.

"I think you've forgotten something." Paul, the CEO of Intel, interrupted everyone's discussion with a sudden opening.

After everyone's eyes were focused on him, Paul continued: "Chairman Barrett has just passed, what kind of CPU our CPU can reach, I believe many people know in their own hearts, but there is one thing I think you have overlooked. Easy Company. ”

"Isn't Yi a game company? What's wrong with them? One of the directors asked, somewhat confused.

"Yi is a game company, yes, but how many of the servers built by the CPUs produced by Intel can accommodate 200,000 players if they are used as game servers? The limit can accommodate 300,000 players, and the whole game is not stuck at all, I believe that even if you haven't been to the cinema to see the movie that is easy to release, you should have seen its trailer on the Internet, right? How is the rendering inside? ”

"Under such rendering conditions, the opponent's server can accommodate more than 300,000 players, if it is a server composed of our CPUs, how many CPUs do you need to make up a server array? You don't think each other uses a supercomputer for a single server, do you? I admit that Liu Fei is rich, but did Liu Fei buy so many CPUs with us? Paul said solemnly.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, the other party's CPU is 90% likely to be true, and the CPU used in Yi's server should be the CPU produced by this graphene, only the performance is more than dozens of times that of our CPU, and then such a server is formed, which can produce a CPU that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of players to play games at the same time in a server." Paul simply guessed himself.

Paul's words were like a hammer blow that woke everyone in the room up at once, they had forgotten about it before, and now that they think about it, indeed, they just found out about it, if it was their own CPU, would they be able to do this? They don't have to think about it to know the answer, because their own CPU knows it on their own.

This is true even for the Xeon series of CPUs that make up the supercomputer, so the question arises, if not their CPU, then whose is it, AMD's? Don't be funny.

If it weren't for the two of them, only IBM would have a CPU in the world, but as we all know, the CPU with a reduced instruction set is unlikely to be used as a game server, not that it can't be used, but in dealing with some super-large games, the computing power is not as good as the CPU of the Intel architecture after all, which is the problem. Again, if it's IBM, then they, as one of IBM's partners, Intel should know the news.

Intel's internal discussions are not known to the outside world, but the media speculation has not stopped, but everyone is waiting for the next steps of the Chinese government, and the Chinese government is reacting faster than everyone thinks, or the CPU manufacturer called the galaxy is reacting faster than everyone else.

And what everyone didn't expect was that this CPU manufacturer was actually involved with another person, and this person was naturally Liu Fei. To be honest, Liu Fei didn't expect the chairman to be so powerful, and he really issued such an announcement according to what he did. Since the chairman is powerful, Liu Fei naturally can't hold back, this must also be forced.

So after making a phone call with Liu Jianguo, Liu Fei directly asked a T2500 model, which was named Zhang Dajiang by Liu Fei, to announce a press conference, and the name of the public was naturally announced under the name of Galaxy Central Processing Unit Co., Ltd.
