The reason why companies such as Micron, Kingston, Seagate, and Western Digital are so anxious is because Changtian Technology has affected their actual market share and profits.
In just three months, tens of thousands of carbon crystal memories have entered the US market.
If Changtian Technology completes mass production and becomes more dominant in the Xia continent market, its products will definitely spill over to other markets around the world.
The American Computing Machinery Association and the Semiconductor Association once again used the opportunity of their monthly meetings to inform their member units of relevant situations.
Missili chaired the meeting and distributed information on carbon crystal memory in the conference room.
The data consists of two parts.
Part of it is technical information, that is, a comparison of the performance of carbon crystal memory and ordinary memory.
These data come from research by laboratories such as Micron and Kingston.
Another part of the data is a study of the market share and sales price of carbon crystal memory in the United States.
Due to the small quantity of carbon crystal memory, the market share is not high, but its sales price and popularity shocked the members of the association.
Misili said: "There is no doubt that Changtian Technology's related products have posed a serious threat to the U.S. semiconductor industry! We must take measures."
After Misili said this, everyone in the member units had different expressions.
Microsoft and other companies were immersed in the information, but their expressions made it clear that they were unwilling to wade into muddy waters.
Microsoft is accumulating power on the WINXP system and is waiting for the WINXP system to be officially launched to avenge its shame.
The Intel representative looked drowsily at the big screen.
Whether you use Kingston memory sticks or Changtian Technology memory, you must use Intel chips.
There is no doubt that the Xiaguo market is a market with strong potential.
Intel is looking for ways to expand its influence in Xia Kingdom, and Xia Kingdom's cheap labor and material costs are also attracting Intel.
In 1985, Intel established its first representative office in Yanjing.
In 1994, Intel established the Xiaguo Architecture Development Laboratory (IADL).
In November 1994, the chip testing and packaging factory in Shanghai broke ground.
In November 1998, the Intellectual Property Research Center (ICRC) was established.
Intel has received the news that Xia Guo will definitely join the WTO at the end of this year, and also plans to assemble and test Intel Pentium 4 related processors in Xia Guo.
The core design, production and other technologies of Intel chips will definitely not be placed in Xia Guo.
However, industries such as testing, assembly, and packaging that require a lot of labor and land can be placed in Xia Kingdom.
Intel also firmly believes that memory and hard drives are only primary products. It is very difficult for Xia Guo to develop and produce chips. Without 20 to 30 years of technological accumulation, it would be unthinkable.
In this case, there was absolutely no need for Intel to offend the Xiaguo market, so Intel representatives chose to keep silent.
Companies such as NVIDIA have also remained silent. Last year, the sales of their products in the Xiaguo mainland market hit a new high.
Since this year, extremely cost-effective PCs represented by Shenchuan have also been purchasing large quantities of their own products. NVIDIA does not involve memory and hard disk products, so this matter has no impact on NVIDIA.
Dell, HP and other companies have the same expression. This matter does not involve their own profits. How many products can be smuggled? Shenchuan is not sold in the United States.
Especially Dell. Dell also thought that if it could obtain carbon crystal memory, it would definitely be able to break out of the red sea market.
Asus, Gigabyte and other motherboard manufacturers in the Bay Area also participated in the meeting via video. Their eyes were blurred and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Only companies such as Micron and Seagate listened very carefully to Misili's speech. They are eager to reach relevant consensus at this meeting.
But it is a pity that when Misili made the request to change the hardware adaptation, there were very few responders.
The world's major motherboard manufacturers are all in the Bay Area.
At this time, companies such as ASUS and Gigabyte are still very confused.
It's not because the manufacturers in Xia Guo Wanwan area really want to help Xia Guo Continent, but because they are calculating their own interests.
On one side is the request of the American father, on the other side is the market of Xia Continent.
These manufacturers will not take a stance easily before calculating their interests clearly.
The regular meeting broke up unhappy.
However, at the strong request of Micron, Kingston and other companies, the American Semiconductor Association reported the relevant situation of Changtian Technology to the U.S. Department of Commerce and requested the Department of Commerce to take measures at the national level.
The report jointly submitted by these companies to the U.S. Department of Commerce includes the judgments of Stanford University and other universities and scientific research institutions on Changtian Technology's products, as well as the judgments of these companies on the influence of Changtian Technology's products after joint market surveys.
The report states: At present, Changtian Technology’s memory products have far exceeded the performance of products from related companies in the United States.
If this situation is allowed to continue, Changtian Technology's memory products will surely occupy the entire American market, which will not only affect the survival of American semiconductor companies, but also affect the national security of the United States.
The report is lengthy.
The content of the report is very thrilling, almost describing Changtian Technology's products as monstrous beasts.
Half a year ago, Changtian Technology had already entered the field of vision of relevant departments in the United States.
If the United States had done something to combat smuggling, the centuries-old drug trafficking channel on the U.S.-Mexico border would have been blocked long ago.
This result may have been expected.
The U.S. Department of Commerce also gave these technology companies, the American Computer Association and the Semiconductor Association a more reliable suggestion.
First, put pressure on motherboard manufacturers to produce motherboards according to new specifications.
Of course, new motherboards cannot be adapted to carbon crystal memory, so the market will surely be able to make the right choice.
Moreover, these motherboard manufacturers are all companies in the Wanwan area.
Microsoft's lessons learned from the past are still in front of everyone.
For example, Microsoft lost 60% of the Xiaguo market in an instant. No company can withstand such a blow.
