The American IT Industry Conference, held every year, is in full swing in New York.
As in past years, the organizers of the conference are the Computer Association of the United States and the American Semiconductor Association.
In addition to discussing the development of computers in the United States and around the world, the theme of this conference is also to discuss the challenges from Xia Guo.
The development of computers in the United States has a history of 40 years, while Xia State only introduced computers from the West in the late 1990s and established its own computer market.
As far as the technology of both parties is concerned, Xia Guo's computer technology is definitely not worth mentioning.
Because Xia State does not have a complete computer industry, it also lacks professional computer talents.
But since 2001, Xia Guo has achieved qualitative breakthroughs in some areas of computer hardware.
The theme of the conference is carbon crystal storage.
This discussion topic was proposed by Seagate and recognized by many participating companies.
Seagate and other hard drive manufacturers wrote in the report discussed at the meeting: "Carbon crystal hard drives have seriously affected the mechanical hard drive market, and its mass production will bring a devastating blow to American hard drive companies."
"In addition, as an end product for storing data, carbon crystal hard drives will pose a great threat to the data security of the United States."
Any reason is high-sounding.
Everyone knows that profit is at work. If Seagate has carbon crystal storage technology, then it must be hyping it up, saying that this technology is much more advanced than mechanical hard drives, and immediately upgrade its own technology and promote carbon crystal storage to the world.
Crystal hard drive technology.
Some companies that compete with Seagate, Western Digital, etc. even waited to see Seagate's jokes at the IT conference.
But when data security was mentioned, the conference had to respond.
Because data security is the most advocated concept in the United States.
Seagate first proposed that if carbon crystal storage cannot prove the security of its data, it cannot be sold on the market.
This proposal seems very overbearing, but it is very consistent with the character of the United States.
Because all computer technology and its behavioral rules in the world are formulated by Americans.
The United States has many competent authorities and professional associations in the field of computers.
These competent authorities and associations are always keeping an eye on the market and require all related products sold on the market to comply with relevant rules.
Therefore, Seagate's proposal was recognized by the conference.
This move is actually quite vicious.
How can we prove that the carbon crystal hard drive does not violate the relevant rules and requirements of data security?
The only way is to submit all basic data of carbon crystal hard drives to the relevant departments and industry associations in the United States.
Once you have submitted all the technical data, there will no longer be any technical secrets in the carbon crystal hard drive.
Relevant manufacturers in the United States can also use this technology for production.
Submitting relevant technical information to prove the safety of the product is only the first policy put forward by the American Computer Association.
If Changtian Technology rejects this request, the US computer industry, which is in a strong position, still has many cards to play.
For example, carbon crystal hard drives are considered illegal within the industry, and related industries or companies are discouraged from purchasing their products.
This move is like hitting a snake seven inches.
In the current hard disk market, most buyers are PC companies, not ordinary consumers.
And these PC companies are inextricably linked to the United States.
After all, the United States has the highest say in the IT industry. From CPU to memory to motherboard, the United States has its own industry standards and access permissions.
If Changtian Technology does not comply with the requirements of this meeting, the American IT Industry Association may require PC companies to suspend the purchase of Changtian Technology's carbon crystal hard drives depending on the situation, and reserves the right to take further measures.
In the American IT industry, many companies compete with each other.
For example, Intel and AMD, Seagate, Western Digital and Maxtor, as well as major capital-controlled motherboard manufacturers in the Wanwan region, etc.
But when it comes to the outside world, everyone is almost united.
Because these people have very clear minds, the 21st century must be the era of computers and the Internet, and also the era of Americans.
Computer technology that can control and master global wealth can only be in the hands of Americans.
For the entire American IT industry, everyone believes that the carbon crystal storage developed by Changtian Technology may be just an accidental discovery. This will not affect the American IT industry's global leadership, nor will it harm the global dominance of the American computer industry.
status.
Americans are very confident in handling Changtian Technology.
After all, in the 1980s, although Japan's semiconductor industry started late, it surpassed the United States in a short period of time, and its products were also sold to the United States on a large scale.
At that time, Toyo's chips almost dominated the entire American market. For example, computer manufacturing led by Casio accounted for 80% of the American electronics market.
At that time, the chip test results of the American Hewlett-Packard Company showed that the yield rate of Toyo's chips was much higher than that of the United States.
In addition, Toyo also took the lead at that time with Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, NCE and other companies to jointly fund and establish the DRAM manufacturing method innovation project.
It was this project that almost allowed Toyo to return to its position of semiconductor supremacy and bring down the entire American semiconductor industry.
The United States in the 1980s would never allow such a thing to happen.
The American Semiconductor Association directly filed a dumping lawsuit against the Japanese semiconductor industry and urged relevant American departments to launch a 301 investigation.
After the 301 investigation was launched, the United States hoped that Toyo could provide huge compensation to the U.S. semiconductor industry.
While bargaining, the United States used its monetary policy and strong influence to force Japan to sign the Plaza Accord.
After the signing of the agreement, Japan's economic advantage over the United States disappeared, and the myth that the price of land in Tokyo could buy the entire United States was shattered.
With the signing of the Plaza Accord, Japan’s semiconductor myth also came to an end.
The only companies that survived were half-dead, but these half-dead companies actually supported Japan's semiconductor advantage for the next decade or two (compared to other countries).
The United States itself also needs cheap semiconductor products. If it does not let Toyo do this, it will definitely let other countries or regions do it.
Against this background, the semiconductor industry in South Korea and the Wanwan region began to rise.
Especially in the Wanwan area of Xia State, TSMC grew up under this background.
From simple machines helping Intel and other companies produce chips, to the final independent innovation.
However, the United States is much more confident about Wanwan than Japan, so the semiconductor industry in Wanwan region has enjoyed brilliant development in the next 40 years.
