Chapter 552 Intel: I plagiarized, and I’m justified! (2-in-1)
After Barrett saw the report sent to him by the technical department, his face became very gloomy.
Barrett himself has a technical background, and he is very aware of the content of this report.
In other words, in a sense, this semiconductor company in Xia State is actually more advanced than Intel in terms of technical processes!
This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable!
The biggest reason why Intel has such great achievements and can occupy more than 85% of the global market is that it has achieved a monopoly in the industry through long-term technology accumulation.
This kind of technology accumulation is not a matter of one or two years, but a matter of decades and generations.
Take the newly established Xia Guo Technology Company, a company that has only been producing IC products for less than two years, and today it is still able to design dual-core chips!
This kind of blow is really too big for Barrett and Intel's technical team.
Barrett immediately convened high-level meetings and technical meetings to discuss countermeasures.
Barrett has never worried that Intel's market will be seized by a Xia Guo technology company. His biggest worry and anxiety is why Intel can't make dual-core chips? Where does Xia Guo's technology come from?
In the conference room, the technicians gave detailed explanations through technical analysis reports as to why Changtian Technology has developed dual-core chips, while Intel has remained at the laboratory level.
Kontantin, the head of the technology department, said very frankly: "Changtian Technology's dual-core chip design is indeed very clever. We have never seen this design concept before."
Constantine said with unparalleled praise: "Only a genius designer would think of dual-core merging."
"In particular, carbon crystal memory is used in the chip's secondary cache, which greatly improves the chip's data reading speed, thus making up for the lack of computing power of low-end chips."
"Using dual-core chips is indeed the best way to compensate for the chip's computing power. I seriously doubt that Changtian Technology has experts in the IC industry."
"And I firmly believe that Xia people will never be able to come up with such a design. It is very likely that Xia students trained by our American universities or even our professional technical personnel from Intel did this chip design."
Barrett listened to the report from the technical leader and looked at the report in his hand. He said with some confusion: "Are you sure that the overall performance of the 130-nanometer process chip can be better than our commercial 3.8GHz Pentium 4 processor?
"
Barrett still couldn't believe the report's comparison of the performance of the two sides.
Of course, Barrett will not be too busy to watch Shenship's new product launch conference.
After all, a PC company the size of Shenship is too small for Intel.
Technical director Konstantin said with great certainty, "We can confirm that the comprehensive performance of computers equipped with Pangu 2 chips is indeed better than the performance of our commercial version of 3.8Ghz compatible computers."
"The power of this kind of performance is not reflected in the capabilities of a single chip, but in the comprehensive capabilities of the computer."
"There are many factors that affect the comprehensive capabilities of a computer. In addition to chips, there are also memory, hard disk, and operating system."
Constantine demonstrated the most important comparison link in the report on the big screen. He said while demonstrating:
"The advantage of Shenchuan Computer is the carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard drive developed by Changtian Technology."
"These two types of hardware are inherently stronger than traditional mechanical hard drives and memory, and can read data dozens of times faster."
"In addition, Changtian Technology also uses carbon crystal memory devices in the secondary cache pool of the dual-core chip, so its overall performance is indeed better than that of our Pentium four processor 3.8Ghz compatible machine."
Of course, Intel's elites can never increase the popularity of others and destroy their own prestige.
Constantin also said with certainty, "If we look at the performance of the chip alone, the performance of our chip is definitely better than the Pangu 2 chip."
This is true, because if you use chips to perform high-performance computing tasks, Intel's Pentium 4 processor, the 3.8Ghz model, has unparalleled advantages.
Especially when it comes to rendering and supercomputing work, it has an absolute advantage.
But it is a pity that a large number of Intel users are ordinary consumers. According to current PC applications, the use of these applications has not reached 70% of the chip's CPU share.
Therefore, this statement is more like a self-comfort in this meeting.
Barrett made a quick decision and said immediately, "Is your laboratory confident that it will produce a dual-core chip as soon as possible?"
After all, if the 65nm process is mass-produced and the pass rate reaches certain requirements, the current level of our production line may not be able to meet it.
Barrett said with a smile: "The most important reason why Intel has been able to occupy more than 80% of the market for a long time is that our chip technology must be more advanced than any other chip company in the world."
"We must lead the development of the entire industry. This is what Intel should do."
In fact, the essence of Barrett’s words is monopoly!
Only absolutely advanced technology will form a monopoly!
The reason why Intel has such huge profits every year is because of its monopoly.
This is the driving force behind America’s national and economic development!
Barrett's words silenced the senior management in the large conference room and the core levels of the technical department.
These words are praising Intel, but they are actually accusing everyone here of being garbage and trash!
Because no one had ever thought that Intel's technology would be surpassed by an inferior Xia Guo technology company.
Barrett then asked Constantine, "Now you tell me clearly, how long will it take for your laboratory to make a dual-core chip?"
In fact, Intel must be the world's leader in technology, even better than Changtian Technology's chip laboratory for more than an era. The two are indeed not on the same level.
Therefore, as long as the technical team disassembles Changtian Technology's Pangu 2 chip, they will know how to produce dual-core chips, which can at least provide certain ideas.
Constantine said with certainty: "Give us three months to half a year at most, and we can make a dual-core chip!"
Barrett was quite satisfied with this answer.
But Konstantin also said, "The key is that the world's first commercial dual-core chip was developed by Changtian Technology. If we also produce dual-core chips, we must learn from Changtian Technology's related design concepts. Does this count?
Infringement of Changtian Technology’s intellectual property rights or plagiarism?”
When Constantine said the word "plagiarism".
Everyone in the technical department was quite embarrassed!
Intel actually copied a Xia Guo technology company!
A year ago, this kind of thing would have been unthinkable and unheard of!
Barrett was silent for a while and said categorically, "What is plagiarism? Technology is king!"
"What I need now is to get Intel's chip back in its rightful place!"
"What kind of plagiarism is this? We have made a dual-core chip. I believe that no one, whether it is our upstream raw material suppliers or our downstream PC manufacturers, will think that our Intel dual-core chip is copied from Changtian Technology!"
"Plagiarism! Ridiculous!"
Barrett even said angrily, "We must find out who the chip design team of Changtian Technology is composed of. Are there any technical personnel who originally belonged to our Intel team?"
"In addition, we should also contact Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.," Barrett said, "I have a list of Yanjiang Semiconductor's senior executives and core technical personnel."
"The technical team responsible for production is from Xia Xin International, and Xia Xin International's core technical team came to Xia Guo mainland to start a business after leaving Tire Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
"There is also a person named Yin Yao, who is also a heavyweight engineer who has worked in Silicon Valley for many years and once worked at Texas Instruments."
"Check carefully whether these teams in the Yanjiang Peninsula Group are involved in technical plagiarism and technical infringement?"
Barrett himself definitely does not believe that a technology company that has only been established for a few years, a technology company that has never designed the chip industry before, developed Xia Xia with independent intellectual property rights in less than a year.
Domestic chips.
Moreover, it has also developed a dual-core chip with very advanced design concepts. To say that all this was done by Xia people themselves, Barrett, like Constantine, would not believe it.
After Barrett said this, he angrily pounded the table and asked for the meeting to be dismissed, leaving everyone looking at each other.
Intel's laboratories began to mobilize urgently, and their first step was to use the existing 90-nanometer process to design dual-core chips.
There is nothing to say about the two inner cores of a dual-core processor. The chip technology of inter is relatively mature. As long as the appropriate cores are selected, there will be no problem.
The most important thing is how to put two cores into one chip, and let the chip automatically allocate computing and reading and writing tasks, so that the two chips can work together in a friendly manner without fighting with each other.
For a long time in the past, Intel has been working hard on this technology, but progress has been slow.
Well now, with Changtian Technology's Pangu 2 chip as a template, things will be much easier to handle.
Intel has advanced chip disassembly technology, which has completely dismantled the Pangu 2 chip, and can see some of the structure of the chip at a very microscopic level.
Although there is no way for Intel to borrow precision structural parts such as carbon crystal memory, the structure of the entire chip is displayed in front of you, and Intel can completely borrow it for reference (plagiarism).
Many people in Intel's technology department feel very helpless.
Unexpectedly, one day Intel's technology department would dismantle Xia Guo's dual-core chip to develop its own dual-core chip.
Constantine also mocked himself and said: "This should be considered plagiarism!"
Intel's chip research laboratory has begun work in retreat. They hope to develop their own dual-core processor within three months to six months.
The more the technicians dismantled and analyzed it, the more they were amazed.
After technician Leal saw the internal DJ structure of the chip, he praised it without hesitation: "What kind of person can design such an exquisite dual-core structure? This structure is simply a work of art."
In fact, Chen Xiao had some expectations that his chips would be dismantled by other companies.
Others may not be able to dismantle Pangu 2, but Intel must have this ability.
It is definitely inevitable that chips will be disassembled, just like Intel's chips were dismantled and studied by the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences.
But Chen Xiao doesn't have any worries about this kind of thing, because it's one thing for you to be able to produce, but the production process and production technology are another.
Even if Intel disassembles Changtian Technology's Pangu 2 chip, obtains some useful technical support from it, and develops its own dual-core chip, Changtian Technology will not be worried.
Because the cost of the Pangu 2 chip produced by Yanjiang Semiconductor Company is lower than that of Intel's chip.
In addition, the positioning of the chips of the two parties is completely different. Even if Intel produces dual-core chips, it is still aimed at high-end users. Most of these users are in the US or European and Japanese markets.
The users that Yanjiang Semiconductor's current production capacity meets are mainly domestic mid-to-high-end users, as well as end users in other Asian countries and Europe.
There is not much overlap in the user groups of both parties.
Besides, this kind of dual-core structure is actually not very difficult, and it will be developed by Intel or AMD sooner or later.
Even if Intel does not refer to Changtian Technology's chips, it will complete its own dual-core research in less than a year.
Forging iron requires one's own hard work, and Changtian Technology's chip laboratory also needs to run a race at the same time.
Find ways to optimize the chip production process to increase chip output and increase Chen Xiao's influence.
In this way, Chen Xiao can upgrade the integrated circuit level or light up the technology tree as soon as possible.
Chen Xiao has always believed that the current silicon crystal binary chips are just the lowest-end products among all chip products, and the system will definitely give him more surprises, but that time has not yet reached that point.
The purpose of the emergence of the Pangu 2 chip is, more importantly, to increase the bargaining chips of Xia Guo Technology companies such as Changtian Technology and Shenchuan. It is not to immediately launch a fierce competition with Intel and expel Intel from the CPU market.
This assumption is inconsistent with the actual situation.
Computers related to the Shenship series still require chips from Intel and AMD.
When the Pangu 2 chip is developed, Shenship's bargaining power will be even higher.
Jiangzhou, Changtian Technology Headquarters.
Chen Xiao received the message sent by Wu Jun.
It was because of the production and launch of Pangu 2 that AMD turned around and complied with the supply contract signed earlier by the two parties and sold AMD's corresponding chips to the company at standard market prices (the same price sold to other PC manufacturers).
Divine ship.
AMD has thought clearly this time. It is impossible to achieve the goal of blackmailing Shenship through technology monopoly to obtain more profits.
Instead of leaving the contract between the two parties there without being able to sign it, it is better to sign the contract directly according to the original plan.
After all, Shenchuan is currently the second largest PC producer and manufacturer in Xia Kingdom.
After signing an agreement with AMD this time, the relevant negotiators of Shenship are quite confident.
Even if AMD does not sell chips to Shenship, Shenship can still buy Pangu 2.
Moreover, Shenship also believes that Intel currently has no reason to ban the sale of chips to Shenship.
The principle is similar. Whether Intel sells chips or not, Pangu 2 has already appeared.
It doesn't make much sense to maintain a high profile.
Chen Xiao did not feel complacent because of the successful development of Shenchuan 2, or felt that the phased tasks had been completed. Chen Xiao continued to urge the chip laboratory to do related research on chip optimization equipment.
Yanjiang Semiconductor Company is currently only able to use the 130-nanometer process. The most fundamental reason is that the photolithography equipment is too backward.
According to Chen Xiao's current integrated circuit level, he has the design capabilities for 65-nanometer chips and related equipment. Design is one thing and production is another, especially for high-precision equipment such as photolithography machines.
It is not enough to rely closely on the team of Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao could only let out a long sigh. There were too few capable companies in Xia's computer technology industry. Again, the industry chain didn't support it enough!
Changtian Technology is still struggling to fight alone.
Chen Xiao still didn’t know that the list of all personnel of Changtian Technology’s chip team had already appeared on the desk of Intel CEO.
