Technological Supremacy Chapter 430: Get ready for a storage storm!
This time, Luo Jia seems to have underestimated the determination of the Chinese nation. The cruel reality has taught the Chinese people a deep lesson. Everyone no longer has any illusions about a peaceful rise. Under persuasion, Xingchen Technology put all its eggs in one basket and refused to negotiate with North America.
As for the blockade of memory chips, the rapid expansion of smuggling channels has largely alleviated the shortage of domestic parts, just like people brought Apple mobile phones from overseas to Huaxia desperately, but the products they carry now , Replaced with small memory chips, a large number of smuggled memory chips are sent to factories all over the country every day.
From November to December, and then from December to January, the whole of China waited in forbearance. Xingchen Technology rarely canceled the New Year holiday. Sixth year.
On this day at the end of January, An Ran came to Luo Jia with a tired look on his face. Shen Lang happened to be there too. He was proudly puffing out his chest and reporting to Luo Jia the annual report of the subsidiary Star Entertainment last year.
The cultural and entertainment front, which is in charge of the geniuses of Star University, has achieved impressive results in the past year. Its films, TV, novels, games, advertising endorsements, variety show interviews and other projects are invincible. Expand globally.
Although it is unrealistic to expect the little guys to seize cultural hegemony in a short period of time, in the field of cultural entertainment, Star Entertainment has become a qualified challenger.
Especially in East Asia and Southeast Asia, where cultures are already similar to China, Xingchen Entertainment has won half of the country. The trend of the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe fighting against each other.
After telling Shen Lang a few words about his responsibilities as a leader, Luo Jia let him go. The world of geniuses is always unconstrained, and Luo Jia didn't want to intervene too much, which would cause geniuses to have no way to play freely.
To cultivate geniuses who conquer the world, we must first give them enough trust. Let the cultural and entertainment front be handed over to Xingchen University. No matter how much money they spend, Luo Jia will not care whether they can achieve results in the end. It is for the geniuses to practice before entering the parent company. After all, the technological front is their final stage.
After Shen Lang left, Luo Jia asked An Ran what she was looking for, An Ran smiled, and said to Luo Jia indifferently: "It's done, fortunately, the mission was fulfilled."
"So fast!?"
After Luo Jia blurted out this sentence, he immediately regretted it. Looking at the thick dark circles under the eyes of An Ran's panda, he knew how many nights and efforts the hardware department had spent on this. To the hardware department, but the engineers in the hardware department are responsible for turning the blueprint into reality, which is difficult for outsiders to imagine.
"Thank you for your hard work." Luo Jia said: "When the semiconductor project is completed, I will give the hardware department a half-year vacation."
An Ran said quite indifferently: "It's still half a year's vacation, the company is so busy, it's already thankful to have half a month's vacation, so that everyone can spend a year in peace, let's go, if you are free now , come to us and have a look.”
…
The huge circular graphene wafer has completed all the processes from cleaning to etching on the lithography machine, and then it is divided by laser into chip bodies that are not as big as the thumbnail. Finally, it is packaged and electrically tested. , leaving neat rows of gold contacts on the bottom of the chip.
This is a product used to replace memory and flash memory. They are compatible with old computers and serve old computers.
The other one is amazing. The real embedded design, processor, master control, logic, and storage are all packaged into a whole, which is also the size of a small thumbnail, but the level has reached an astonishing five. One hundred and twelve floors.
"The old-fashioned memory and flash memory using next-generation technology are actually not cost-effective for us." An Ran shrugged and said to Luo Jia: "What are you doing upgrading those old computers? Just let everyone replace them with new ones." Good."
Luo Jia shook his head, "The most important thing in business is to be honest, you can't buy and sell by force. The model we launched a few months ago adopted a separate design for the processor and storage. Now we have an ultra-integrated Chip, don’t care about the life and death of old customers?”
"Impossible, old customers are not as good as dogs, that is Unicom's practice, not ours, since we have provided products to customers, we have to be responsible to the end, we can afford to replace customers with new storage, I don’t know what money means to other companies, but to us, money is just a tool to achieve our goals.”
That night, after several consecutive rounds of testing, Star Technology's storage products fully met the design requirements, and Luo Jia and An Ran were greatly relieved.
"It's not too late to prepare for the press conference." Luo Jia thought for a few minutes and said to the colleagues in the administration department.
…
Whenever people refer to terms such as high-tech or semiconductors, they are always habitually associated with Silicon Valley, California. However, in fact, not all important high-tech companies in North America are located in Silicon Valley, such as , Boeing is in Seattle, and Microsoft is in Redmond next door to Seattle.
The world's second largest memory chip manufacturer, Micron Group, is headquartered in Idaho, a state that many Chinese people have never heard of, next to British Columbia, Canada, although it is not a barren state Land, but definitely not prosperous.
At this moment, the headquarters of the Micron Group, which is located in the not-so-bustling state of Idaho, suddenly ushered in three heavyweight guests, namely Dr. And the special assistant to the President, Mr. von Mitterrand.
President Adams of the Micron Group was surprised and shocked by the three visiting together. Dr. Houllier represents the behind-the-scenes funder of the technology industry and the power of Wall Street. As for Mr. Mitterrand, he is the most trusted aide of the President and holds many secrets that must be brought to the grave.
In Adams's office, after some hypocritical but polite greetings, Chairman Houllier finally revealed his intention for coming. Nothing else could lure them all to remote Idaho at the same time.
"Looks like it's about time?"
"Yeah."
"Yes, the memory chip we prepare for the next generation."
"Unfortunately, the next-generation storage should have been launched together with Intel's ultra-nano process, but Star Technology's offensive is too fierce, we have to change the plan, and launch the seventh-generation DDR before launching the next-generation CPU. Memory, and next-generation flash memory, 3DXPOINT high-density storage system."
"Well, who made us receive technical support from NASA and Oak Ridge Laboratory when developing these technologies. Specifically, when should we Micron Group release these next-generation technologies?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Doesn't that just coincide with the memory chip conference of Xingchen Technology?"
"That's right, that's what you want. Release products on the same day as those yellow-skinned monkeys. Since the tragedies of Samsung and Apple, no one has dared to do this."
What the President's special envoy Mitterrand said made everyone sigh, and at the same time, a flash of hatred flashed in their eyes.
After the famous mobile phone war ended, Xingchen Technology released many products and technologies, and held many product launches. However, no one from the west dared to publicly challenge Xingchen Technology.
Thinking about the fiasco of Samsung and Apple back then, it is not difficult to understand that everyone took the initiative to avoid the days when Xingchen Technology released new products.
Dr. Houllier analyzed quite sophisticatedly: "So far ~IndoMTL.com~ Among the two technologies of memory and flash memory, Huaxia has only mastered a part of memory technology, which is the DDR3 generation of Tsinghua Unigroup, with a frequency of 1600."
"So you can see how weak Huaxia is in the field of memory chips. They can't even manufacture fourth-generation DDR chips, they can only produce the outdated third-generation chips, and what we are about to launch is the seventh-generation DDR chips. !”
"In this case, we have nothing to worry about. Even if Xingchen Technology is strong, even if they have solved the fourth-generation DDR technology, even if their production technology is very good, and they can create a 0.1nm process, The single-chip storage capacity is greatly improved."
"So what!?"
"I have seen the memory module integrated in the processor by Xingchen Technology, the fourth generation DDR, 2666 frequency, that's all, the standard outdated product!"
Houllier is worthy of being the chairman of the Semiconductor Alliance. His analysis is quite professional, which gave Micron's President Adams great confidence.
Judging from the experimental products that flowed out from secret channels, Star Technology's CPU is equipped with outdated fourth-generation DDR, and there is no possibility of defeating Micron's seventh-generation products.
However, the idea is always beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
For the discussion on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Luo Jia just wants to say, you only use DDR, and your whole family uses DDR!
