When Tomiyoshi Ken and Iwata Satoru arrived in the United States and were about to meet Tony and Blake, Tony appeared in time, but Blake did not reply.
"You don't have to look for Blake. Intel has been in a meeting for twelve hours!" In the private room, Tony's expression changed inexplicably.
"What happened?" Tomiyoshi Ken asked in surprise.
"How should I put it?" Tony pondered for a moment and then described, "Intel's a * * hole has been stabbed!"
This time, Intel's * * hole was about to be destroyed. Because just yesterday, the laboratory finally completed all the analysis of the Qiankun chip. Then, an urgent work report was placed in front of the chairman of Intel.
The chairman only took a glance at it and felt his blood pressure rising all over his body. His body trembled and he almost gave up his life for the work he loved.
It was also because of this report that all the senior executives of Intel quickly gathered together and held a major meeting that lasted twelve hours.
"Gentlemen, after three consecutive tests, we can finally tell you with certainty that the chip used in Da Qian's game machine is indeed made with a 50nm process technology. This is the result of the laser interference rangefinder. It is very accurate and there is no error at all!" "That's right," Li Yuanfan said with a smile.
"If you don't understand what this means, then I can tell you this."
"If the chip market is compared to a battlefield, then Intel is equivalent to fighting with a rifle, and all our opponents are fighting with pistols and even matchlocks. Therefore, we have an absolute advantage in equipment on the battlefield! "
"But now, our opponent has appeared, but he is not holding a Mosingana or a 98K, but an AK47. It is a fully automatic rifle. How are we going to play with that?" The head of the R&D department said helplessly.
"I don't understand. Didn't your R&D department say in the report every day that the 70nm limit is difficult to break and the chip development speed is very slow, so that AMD has a chance to catch up?"
"How come there's already a 50-nanometer chip? Did your R&D department dance on the same spot for the past few years? "A senior executive immediately attacked immediately.
"You're talking nonsense. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. We've long designed a chip with a superior architecture, but we can't get a lithography machine below the 70nm level. What can we do?" The head of the R&D department immediately retorted, "Actually, the chip used by the Daqian is garbage in terms of architecture. Any senior researcher at Intel can come up with a better architecture than theirs."
"In addition, their chip is also immature. It looks like something made by a young person who has been in the industry for less than ten years. But this thing has a 50nm process technology. So, even if their design is lousy, its performance is still better than ours! "
"So, our photolithography machine is the 98K, and the opponent's photolithography machine is the AK47. This is not a matter of training at all. It's a massacre, a technological massacre in terms of killing weapons!" The head of the R&D department said with tears in his eyes.
"That … I want to say that if it's an actual battle on the battlefield, the 98K is still very useful because the effective range of the AK47 is not enough and its accuracy is not good. So, as long as the command is right, the troops using the 98K have at least a 60% chance of defeating the troops using the AK47!" An executive who was very knowledgeable about weapons said softly. However, when he saw the people around him rolling their eyes at him, he decisively shut his mouth.
"Actually, the key to the problem lies in the 50nm photolithography machine. If we can also get a 50nm photolithography machine, then this problem will not exist. We can immediately come up with a better product and continue to dominate the entire market, right?" The chairman asked from a strategically advantageous position. Immediately, there was a wave of flattery from the audience.
The chairman was indeed smarter than others. He hit the nail on the head!
"Then, everyone in the purchasing department, do you have any explanation for this problem?" The chairman looked at Blake. Blake was the vice president with a background in purchasing. Naturally, he had an unshirkable responsibility in this aspect of the business. "Chairman, regarding the issue of the photolithography machine, our purchasing department has been keeping a close eye on it. However, whether it's a first-tier manufacturer like ASM, or mid-tier manufacturers like Nikon, Canon, or Samsung, they have never released a 50nm photolithography machine. We don't have any information at all!" Blake quickly explained.
"Then, where did this 50nm chip in front of us come from? Did the Daqian pick it up from the sky and plant it in the ground, or did he make it himself? " The chairman slammed the table angrily. "If no one makes a 50nm photolithography machine, then there won't be a 50nm chip. This is common knowledge that even a fool knows. But you don't know which company has developed a corresponding product. What do I need you for? What's the point of being a vice president? Why don't you resign early and go home to plant potatoes!!! "
The chairman's anger silenced the entire conference room. Blake was in extreme pain, but he could only defend himself helplessly. "Mr. Chairman, everyone knows that the current development of photolithography machines seems to have reached a dead end. 70nm is already an insurmountable limit for photolithography machines. Unless someone can invent a new photolithography machine or a better material, this is an insurmountable gap!"
"Now, all photolithography machine manufacturers in the world are facing this problem. ASM invests billions of funds every year to research and develop a breakthrough in this problem. Intel also often sends representatives to participate in their joint research and development work. At the same time, Intel is also one of ASM's shareholders. We have the authority to review ASM's internal reports, so we know very well that ASM has not broken through the 70nm limit at all. We really don't know where this photolithography machine came from!" Blake explained. The head of the research and development department nodded. These were things that the industry was very clear about. The 70nm gap had been impossible to break through for almost 10 years.
Therefore, the head of the research and development department was very puzzled. Which country had mastered alien technology and broken through this incredible technological limit?
Also, why didn't they write a paper and publish it? Such a big research breakthrough could win a Nobel Prize. Why was there no sound in the industry at all?
It was as if in the dark night of the primitive era, everyone was carrying torches, but someone suddenly had a flashlight. It didn't make any sense at all.
