Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

Text Chapter 552 Intel: I plagiarized, I'm justified! (two in one)

When Barrett saw the report sent to him by the technical department, his face was very gloomy.

Barrett himself is 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 Guo is actually more advanced than Intel in terms of technical process!

This kind of thing is absolutely unbearable!

The reason why Intel has such great achievements and can occupy more than 85% of the global market is the biggest reason for the long-term accumulation of technology and the realization of the monopoly of the industry.

This accumulation of technology is not a matter of one or two years, but a matter of decades and generations.

Let's take a look at the newly established Xiaguo Technology Company, a company that has only been making IC products for less than two years, and can still design dual-core chips today!

The blow was too big for Barrett and Intel's technology team.

Barrett immediately held high-level meetings and technical meetings to discuss countermeasures.

Barrett has never worried that Intel's market will be seized by a Xiaguo technology company. What he is most worried about is why Intel can't make dual-core chips? Where did the Xia people's technology come from?

In the conference room, the technicians gave in detail through the technical analysis report why Changtian Technology produced dual-core chips, while Intel has been staying at the laboratory level.

Constantine, the head of the technical department, said frankly: "Changtian Technology's dual-core chip design is indeed very ingenious. We have never seen this design concept before..."

Constantine said, "Only a talented designer would have thought of a dual-core merger."

"In particular, carbon crystal storage is applied to the chip's second-level cache, which greatly improves the chip's data reading speed, thereby making up for the lack of low-end chips in terms of computing power."

"Using a dual-core chip is indeed the best way to make up for the computing power of the chip. I seriously doubt that Changtian Technology has experts in the IC industry."

"And I firmly believe that the people of Xia Guo can never come up with such a design. It is very likely that the Xia Guo international students trained by our American universities, or even the professional and technical personnel from our Intel who went out, did the chip design this time."

While listening to the technical director's report, Barrett looked at the report in his hand, and he said with some doubts: "Are you sure that the 130nm process chip can outperform our commercial 3.8GHz Pentium 4 processor in overall performance? "

Barrett still had some disbelief at the report's comparison of performance.

Of course, Barrett will not be too busy to watch the new product launch of Shenchuan.

After all, a PC company of the size of Shenchuan is too small for Intel.

The technical director Constantine said with great certainty, "We can confirm that the computer equipped with the Pangu 2 chip has better overall performance than our commercial version of the 3.8Ghz compatible computer."

"The power of this kind of performance is not manifested in the capability of a single chip, but in the comprehensive capability of the computer."

"There are many factors that affect the comprehensive capability of a computer. In addition to the chip, there are also memory, hard disk and operating system."

Constantine demonstrated the most important comparison link in the report on the big screen, and he said as he demonstrated:

"The advantage of Shenchuan Computer is the carbon crystal memory and carbon crystal hard disk developed by Changtian Technology."

"These two kinds of hardware are supposed to be stronger than traditional mechanical hard drives and memory, and read data dozens of times faster."

"In addition, Changtian Technology also uses a carbon crystal memory device in the secondary cache pool of the dual-core chip, so its overall performance is indeed stronger than that of our Pentium quad processor 3.8Ghz compatible machine."

Of course, Intel's elites can never raise the morale of others and destroy their own prestige.

Constantine also said with certainty, "If we look at the performance of the chip alone, the performance of our chip is definitely better than that of the Pangu 2 chip."

This is true, because if the chip is used for high-performance computing tasks, Intel's Pentium 4 processor, the 3.8Ghz one, has an unparalleled advantage.

Especially in 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 the current PC applications, the use of these applications cannot reach 70% of the CPU share of the chip.

Therefore, this remark is more like a kind of self-comfort in this meeting.

Barrett immediately said, "Is your laboratory confident that it will produce a dual-core chip as soon as possible?"

After all, to mass-produce the 65nm process, and to make the pass rate meet certain requirements, the current level of our production line may not be up to the standard.

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 chip company in the world."

"We have to lead the development of the entire industry, which is what we at Intel should do."

In fact, the essence of Barrett's words is monopoly!

Only the absolute advancement of technology can form a monopoly!

The reason why Intel has such huge profits every year is also because of monopoly.

This is the driving force behind the national and economic development of the United States!

Barrett's remarks silenced the high-level executives of the large conference room and the core level of the technical department.

This is to praise Intel, but in fact, it is to accuse everyone here of being garbage and waste!

Because everyone has never thought that Intel's technology will be surpassed by an incompetent Xiaguo technology company.

Barrett asked Constantine again, "You now tell me clearly how long it will take your lab to make dual-core chips?"

In fact, Intel must be the world leader in technology, even stronger than Changtian Technology's chip laboratory for more than an era. The two are indeed not the same level.

Therefore, as long as the technical team disassembles the Pangu No. 2 chip of Changtian Technology, they will know how to produce the dual-core chip, at least to provide some ideas.

Constantine said with certainty: "Give us three months to half a year at most, and we can also make dual-core chips!"

This answer made Barrett quite satisfied.

But Constantine 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. Infringing the intellectual property rights of Changtian Technology or plagiarizing?"

When Constantine said the word "plagiarism".

Everyone in the technical department is quite embarrassed!

Intel will actually copy a Xiaguo technology company!

If this kind of thing was put a year ago, it would have been unbelievable and unheard of!

Barrett was silent for a while, then said decisively, "What is plagiarism? Technology is the king!"

"What I need now is to get Intel's chip back in its right place!"

"What kind of plagiarism is this? We have made dual-core chips. I believe that no matter whether it is our upstream raw material suppliers or our downstream PC manufacturers, no one will think that our Intel dual-core chips are copied from Changtian Technology!"

"Plagiarism! Ridiculous!"

Barrett even said angrily, "Be sure to find out who the chip design team of Changtian Technology is composed of, and whether there are any technical personnel who originally belonged to our Intel team?"

"In addition, we should contact TiSMC." Barrett said: "I have a list of senior and core technical personnel of Yanjiang Semiconductor."

"The technical team responsible for production is from Xiaxin International, and the core technical team of Xiaxin International started a business in the mainland of Xiaguo after YutiSMC left."

"There is also a person named Yin Yao, who is also a heavyweight engineer who has worked in Silicon Valley for many years and used to work at Texas Instruments."

"Check carefully whether these teams in the Yanjiang Peninsula are involved in technical plagiarism and technical infringement?"

Barrett himself certainly does not believe that a technology company that has just been established for a few years, a technology company that has never designed the chip industry before, has 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 a very advanced design concept. To say that all this was done by the people of Xia Guo, Barrett and Constantine, like 100 people, do not believe it.

After Barrett finished speaking, he patted the table angrily and asked to break up the meeting, leaving everyone looking at each other in dismay.

Intel's labs 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 the dual-core processor. The chip technology of inter is relatively mature. As long as the appropriate core is selected, there will be no problem.

The most important thing is how to put two cores in one chip, and let the chip automatically allocate computing and read and write tasks, so that the two chips can work together amicably and not fight with each other.

Intel has been working **** this technology for a long time in the past, but progress has been slow.

Well now, with Changtian Technology's Pangu 2 chip as a template, things will be much easier.

Intel has advanced chip dismantling technology, dismantling the Pangu No. 2 chip cleanly, and can see some structures of the chip from a very microscopic level.

Although it is similar to precision structural parts such as carbon crystal memory, Intel has no way to borrow, but the structure of the entire chip is displayed in front of you, and Intel can borrow and refer to (plagiarism).

Many people in Intel's technology department feel very helpless.

I didn't expect that one day Intel's technology department would develop its own dual-core chip by dismantling Xia Guo's dual-core chip.

Constantine also said mockingly: "We should be plagiarizing!"

Intel's chip research lab has begun to work in retreat, and they hope to develop their own dual-core processors within three months to half a year.

The more the technicians dismantled it, the more they analyzed it, the more admirable it was in their hearts.

After seeing the internal DJ structure of the chip, technician Lear praised without hesitation: "What kind of person would design such an exquisite dual-core structure, this structure is simply a work of art."

In fact, Chen Xiao had certain expectations that his chips would be dismantled by other companies.

Others may not be able to disassemble Pangu II, but Intel must have this ability.

It is inevitable that the chip will be dismantled, just as Intel's chip has also been dismantled and studied by the Xia Guo 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, and it's another thing for the production process and production process.

Even if Intel developed its own dual-core chip by dismantling Changtian Technology's Pangu 2 chip, and obtained some useful technical support from it, Changtian Technology would not be worried.

Because the Pangu No. 2 chip produced by Yanjiang Semiconductor Company will cost less than Intel's chip.

In addition, the positioning of the chips of the two sides is completely different. Even if Intel produces dual-core chips, it is aimed at high-end users. Most of these users are in the United States or the European and Toyo markets.

The users that Yanjiang Semiconductor's current production capacity meets are mainly for domestic mid-to-high-end users, as well as end users in other Asian countries and Europe.

There is not much overlap between the user groups of the two parties.

Besides, this 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.

Blacksmithing also needs its own strength, and Changtian Technology's chip laboratory also needs to compete at the same time.

Find a way to optimize the production process of the chip to increase the output of the chip and add more influence to Chen Xiao.

In this way, Chen Xiao can upgrade the level of integrated circuits or light up the technology tree as soon as possible.

Chen Xiao has always believed that the current silicon crystal binary chip is only the lowest-end product among all chip products, and the system will definitely give him more surprises, but it has not yet reached that point of time.

The purpose of the Pangu 2 chip is to increase the bargaining chips of Changtian Technology and Shenchuan and other Xiaguo technology companies. It is not to launch a fierce competition with Intel and drive Intel out of the CPU market.

This assumption is not in line with the actual situation.

The Shenchuan-related series of computers still require chips from Intel and AMD.

When the Pangu 2 chip is developed, the bargaining power of Shenchuan will be higher.

Jiangzhou, Changtian Technology Headquarters.

Chen Xiao got the message sent by Wu Jun.

Because of the production and launch of Pangu 2, AMD turned around and complied with the supply contract signed earlier by the two parties, selling AMD at the standard market price (the same price sold to other PC manufacturers~www.readwn.com~). The corresponding chips are sold to Shenchuan.

AMD has completely figured it out this time. The goal of obtaining more profits by blackmailing the ship through technological monopoly is unrealizable.

Instead of leaving the contract between the two parties there and there has been no way 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.

Signing an agreement with AMD this time, the relevant negotiators of Shenchuan are quite confident.

Even if AMD does not sell chips to Shenchuan, Shenchuan can still buy Pangu 2.

Moreover, Shenchuan also believes that Intel currently has no reason to prohibit the sale of chips to Shenchuan.

The reason is similar, whether Intel sells chips or not, Pangu No. 2 has already appeared.

It doesn't make much sense to put on a higher stance.

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 research laboratory to do related research on chip optimization equipment.

At present, Yanjiang Semiconductor can only use the 130-nanometer process. The most fundamental reason is that the lithography equipment is too backward.

According to the current level of integrated circuits of Chen Xiao, he has the ability to design 65nm chips and related equipment. Design is one thing, and production is another, especially for high-end equipment such as lithography machines. It is far from enough to rely on the team of Changtian Technology.

Chen Xiao can only sigh, there are too few capable companies in Xia Guo's computer science and technology field, or the same sentence - the support of the industry chain is not enough!

Changtian Technology is still struggling alone.

Chen Xiao didn't know yet that the list of all members of Changtian Technology's chip team had already appeared on the desk of Intel CEO.
