460: The U.S. Empire Semiconductor Alliance Vomiting Blood (Third

“That’s right, before, I thought Shuguang Technology was going to lose, but I never expected that this would be the way to break the deadlock in the end. This is really great.”

“Indeed, this is really great.

The ruling from California Dali Temple was too overbearing; not only did it impose a huge super fine, but it also ordered the company to be split into four. That United States’s California Dali Temple is truly despicable.”

At this moment, while the Daxia netizens on the scene felt happy, they were also alarmed by the series of thrilling encounters Shuguang Technology had faced.

However, no matter what, it’s truly great that Shuguang Technology emerged victorious in the end.

Many, in their joy, even prepared to have a good meal or directly spend money to buy an enjoyable Shuguang stand-alone game.

Meanwhile, the 64 presidents of the Medi Country Semiconductor Alliance, upon learning the final result, all exchanged bewildered glances.

At this moment, they only had one question in their hearts: NNP, should it be spoken or not?!

After all, they had just seen their great enemy, Shuguang Technology, on the verge of defeat, facing a fine and being split into four companies.

But the result was such a shocking reversal after less than two hours of happiness, which was truly infuriating!

So, upon learning the final result, the 64 presidents of the Medi Country Semiconductor Alliance truly had an NNP in their hearts, wondering whether to speak it or not!

…

Time flew by.

Although the Medi Country Semiconductor Alliance was quite stunned and wanted to curse, under the cruel pressure from Shuguang Technology, they could only reluctantly unite.

Thus, the next afternoon, the Medi Country Semiconductor Alliance once again held a grand meeting in the Empire State Building.

“What should we do next? It seems we’ve shot ourselves in the foot now.”

The speaker at this moment was President Lao Huang of Nvidia.

Upon hearing this, another president from Nikon, a Japanese company, also said helplessly:

“We have indeed shot ourselves in the foot. Not only did we gain nothing, but we indirectly helped Shuguang Technology conclude the anti-monopoly lawsuit early, which is truly depressing.

After all, if we hadn’t intervened, that anti-monopoly lawsuit could have dragged on for several years, or even more than a decade.

Considering the huge costs of an anti-monopoly lawsuit, fighting for several years or even more than a decade could have caused economic losses to Shuguang Technology amounting to billions, or even tens of billions of dollars.

So, we truly shot ourselves in the foot this time, essentially saving Shuguang Technology billions, or even tens of billions of dollars.”

Upon hearing this, the scene fell into a period of silence, everyone feeling quite a headache and regret.

After all, if they hadn’t intervened before, the anti-monopoly lawsuit would have continued, bleeding Shuguang Technology every month, even every day.

But now, with their intervention in the anti-monopoly lawsuit, they have indirectly helped Shuguang Technology conclude the anti-monopoly lawsuit early.

This indirectly saved billions, or even tens of billions of dollars in legal fees, which is truly a maddening fact.

“Alright, we have to admit we’ve shot ourselves in the foot, but we must do something; we can’t keep sighing.”

The speaker at this moment was President Zhang Xiaomou of TSMC.

In response, the Sony President immediately frowned and asked:

“Do you have any suggestions then? Even the anti-monopoly lawsuit couldn’t do anything to Shuguang Technology.

After this, it will become even more difficult to promote other initiatives, such as pushing for the rejection of Shuguang Technology’s products entering the country, or imposing punitive tariffs on Shuguang Technology’s products.

At this moment, I can’t think of any way to curb Shuguang Technology, at least it’s really hard to try to bring down Shuguang Technology through improper means.”

However, facing the Sony President’s question, TSMC President Zhang Xiaomou was naturally stunned.

What methods did he have? It was precisely because he had no methods that he was asking everyone for suggestions!

At this moment, President Paul Otellini of Intel sighed, then slowly began to speak:

“It seems we will have to defeat Shuguang Technology with hard power next. Since small tricks can’t do anything to Shuguang Technology, then let’s defeat Shuguang Technology with hard power!”

At this point, President Paul Otellini of Intel was still quite confident, and he said with a smile:

“Our collaborative joint research and development of the next-generation process technology is the correct approach. According to the statistics of my employees.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the 45-nanometer process technology could be implemented as early as May 2007 next year, which is a huge breakthrough.

You should know that according to our Intel Company’s original internal estimates, the first 45-nanometer process technology chip was expected to be produced around November 2007 next year.

And then, in early 2008, after the yield rate of the 45-nanometer process technology had initially improved, large-scale production of 45-nanometer process technology processors could begin.

Now, the timeline has been advanced by more than half a year. This shows that the combined research and development power of our Medi Country Semiconductor Alliance is still quite strong, and it has successfully broken Moore’s Law.”

Upon hearing President Paul Otellini of Intel’s words, many people on the scene nodded slightly in agreement.

They naturally knew what President Paul Otellini of Intel was talking about; after all, President Paul Otellini of Intel’s subordinates were tracking the progress of process technology, and other companies were also tracking it.

“It seems next year will be our year of victory.”

The speaker at this moment was President Bill Gates of Microsoft Company.

Of course, Bill Gates also felt a bit strange when he said this, because he felt that he seemed to have said this before.

So, after Bill Gates pondered for a moment, he quickly realized that he had said this same sentence last year.

Last year, he claimed that 2006 would be the year of victory for the Microsoft-Intel-Nvidia Alliance, but he never expected such an outcome in the end.

Thinking of this, Bill Gates’s expression also became somewhat grim. He hoped this time wouldn’t be like the last, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

“Since that’s the case, our focus will be on next year’s 45-nanometer process technology.”

After hearing President Bill Gates of Intel’s words, the other presidents on the scene also made the decision to stake everything on next year.

As for what to do this year?

Comrades, let’s bear with it for now, because next year will be everyone’s year of victory.

Anyway, with years of accumulation, no one will go bankrupt in a short while; it’s just that life isn’t as carefree as before, appearing somewhat difficult.

Lin Chen, however, was unaware that the Medi Country Semiconductor Alliance had already begun to learn from the arduous struggle spirit of their predecessors.

They were preparing to persevere until next year and then defeat Shuguang Technology with 45-nanometer process technology!

Of course, some companies on the scene didn’t have to live such a difficult life.

For example, Nvidia, after such a long delay, was finally about to release their new Graphics Card, because this new Graphics Card would adopt CUDA, an architecture no less inferior to Dawn Unified Computing Architecture!
