Chapter 650
At this time, in the headquarters building of the Chip Alliance.
Wilson, the president of the alliance, was sitting in front of the chief desk with a gloomy face.
Sitting next to him were Intel’s director, Qualcomm’s president, and ASME’s general manager.
And senior executives of some alliance members such as AMD, Inveda, Infineon, and Samsung.
Looking at the people in the conference room, they all had terrified expressions, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing and heavy.
Wilson, the backbone of the Chip Alliance, had to force himself to say:
“Gentlemen… Gentlemen.”
“Although Longguo has developed a quantum lithography machine, it is terrible news for our Chip Alliance.”
“But even so, Longguo will not be our opponent! Our Chip Alliance still has a huge advantage!”
Hearing this, all the members of the alliance frowned subconsciously.
Everyone couldn’t understand why Longguo had developed a 0.5nm quantum lithography machine.
In terms of technology, they have left themselves far behind.
But why can the president of the alliance still optimistically think that he has an advantage?
And in order to stabilize people’s hearts, they will not be confused before the war starts.
Under the gaze of the alliance members, Wilson pretended to be calm and said:
“Gentlemen.”
“Although the performance of quantum chips exceeds that of traditional silicon-based chips.”
“But the production and R&D costs of quantum lithography machines and quantum chips must be very high!”
“This means that Longguo cannot popularize them on a large scale in a short period of time, and the output cannot keep up.”
“In the short term, let alone expansion to seize market share, self-sufficiency is a big problem.”
After hearing Wilson’s words, the alliance members nodded in agreement.
They are all very clear about this.
Although Longguo has successfully developed it.
However, it will still take a long time to achieve the goal of mass production.
Especially the production, assembly and debugging process of high-end lithography machines, which is extremely complex and cumbersome.
Even ASML, which has the most experience in the world.
Last year, only 42 EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machines were produced.
If Longguo wants to mass-produce lithography machines in a short period of time, it is undoubtedly an impossible task.
Seeing that everyone agreed with this point of view, Wilson cleared his throat and continued:
“Although Longguo has advanced technology, it still takes time to establish a complete system.”
“We can fully use this time difference to consolidate our existing market position.”
“Moreover, not all fields need to use the most advanced quantum chips.”
“Now many ordinary electronic devices, our traditional silicon-based chips can fully meet the performance requirements.”
“Just like the 0.5nm quantum chip that Longguo has developed this time, if it is placed on smart devices such as mobile phones and computers.”
“Putting aside the high cost, can the existing accessories bring out such advanced chip performance?”
“Other supporting hardware has not been upgraded, and quantum chips There is no place for it!”
“Therefore, our silicon-based chips with price advantages will still have a broad space in the market in the future.”
“As long as we increase R&D investment, concentrate the advantageous resources within the alliance, and jointly overcome key technical difficulties.”
“One day, we will also be able to break through quantum chip technology and surpass Longguo again!”
Listening to Wilson’s eloquent and big talk, the president of Qualcomm suddenly said:
“Mr. President.”
“Longguo is the only country with a complete industrial system, and they are best at price wars!”
“What if Longguo sells quantum chips with the same nano-process at a price lower than ours?”
As soon as this was said, all the alliance members on the scene became nervous instantly.
The question raised by the president of Qualcomm is also what they are most worried about at present.
When Wilson, the president of the alliance, heard this, he was so excited that he said, “NO! NO! NO! Impossible!” “Selling quantum chips and silicon-based chips with the same nano-process at the same price?” “Unless the Dragon people are crazy, they will not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves!” At this point, Wilson also vowed: “Our 4nm
The price of silicon-based chips with a manufacturing process in Longguo is 1450 to 1600 dragon yuan. ”
“According to my strict calculation and analysis, the price of Longguo’s 4nm quantum chip will be about 2800 to 3500 dragon yuan.”
“As long as the bastards on Capitol Hill lift the chip restriction order, our chip alliance will still have an absolute price advantage.”
“…………”
At this time.
Just as the members of the chip alliance were constantly analyzing and thinking about the response strategy.
Longguo and the members of the various allied countries gradually calmed down from the ecstasy of developing a 0.5nm quantum lithography machine.
Everyone’s focus was on chip pricing and production.
In order to maintain domestic stability, the Western Alliance’s propaganda machine immediately started at full capacity.
They used major media and social platforms to constantly emphasize that Longguo would be in the short term.
If you want to achieve large-scale chip Production is something that is simply impossible to accomplish.
Within three years, Longguo has not been able to truly cause a substantial impact on the international chip market.
And just when the Western Alliance wanted to rely on public opinion to temporarily stabilize the situation.
…
Longguo, the imperial capital, a live interview program on a military channel.
The bureau chief, dressed in a suit and tie, was accepting the interview with the host with a smile on his face.
“Bureau chief, I remember that when you were interviewed last time, you predicted that Longguo would need three years to develop a 10nm-level EUV lithography machine.”
“I didn’t expect that it would take only a few months for our Longguo to develop a 0.5nm-level quantum lithography machine.”
“Then I would like to ask the bureau chief, what do you think of the fact that our Longguo has developed a more advanced lithography machine at a speed far exceeding your previous prediction?”
Facing the host and the camera, the bureau chief waved his hand without blushing and said:
“Oh… I’m just a retired old man, how can I know about the development of such a high-tech project? It’s normal to make a wrong prediction. ”
“However, this also fully demonstrates the strength of our Longguo researchers.”
“They can always create miracles and bring us surprises.”
“This also proves that our Longguo has great potential and a spirit of continuous progress in the field of science and technology.”
