44: Intel goes crazy! Masker is in a panic! Invista loses orders!

Just as Lu Feng stepped off the stage.

Elder Ji's voice rang out from behind.

"Everyone, please look at this chip in my hand."

"It can accommodate 500 billion transistors."

"That's 50 times more than a 5-nanometer process chip!"

As soon as the words fell!

Clatter!

Another wave of thunderous applause erupted.

It seemed everyone wanted to fully express the emotions they had been suppressing earlier.

Next.

Elder Ji said:

"Let me demonstrate the power of this tiny chip for everyone."

After saying this, he used this Dragon Country-made Divine Core 001.

To begin computing and advancing some large-scale data and 3D model operations.

These were all real-time computations.

Impossible to fake.

Any professional could tell at a glance... Inside Intel's towering building.

On the top floor, the largest board meeting was being held.

Pate Singh was giving a briefing to his board.

"This year, our R&D progress will be slightly slower."

"Currently speaking,"

"a bottleneck has emerged in the tech industry."

"So our next-generation chips are still at the 7-nanometer process for now."

One of the board members raised a question.

"If that's the case,"

"we have already launched our new products twice in a row"

"without following Moore's Law."

As soon as Moore's Law was mentioned,

all Intel insiders couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence.

This law, proposed by Intel's founder in '65,

has almost become a benchmark for global semiconductor development.

That is, the transistors on an integrated circuit

every 18-24 months,

the density of transistors would double.

In the previous decades,

Intel had always adhered to this law.

And it allowed Intel in the global semiconductor field

to achieve the world's top position.

Hearing this board member's question, Pate Singh fell silent for a moment.

Then he said gravely:

"Current technology, especially in the nanometer field,"

"has actually reached a bottleneck stage."

"Currently, our group invests in chip R&D every quarter"

"to the tune of 20 billion mi money."

"Although we have made some breakthroughs,"

"it will still take time to achieve mature application."

"Therefore..."

Pate Singh paused here for a moment.

"I believe"

"that in today's technology, Moore's Law"

"has become somewhat outdated!"

"Oh?" Another board member voiced doubt.

Pate Singh took a deep breath.

Preparing to explain the situation thoroughly.

Just at that moment.

With a bang.

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

It was CEO Pate Singh's secretary.

Pate Singh frowned slightly.

"Can't you see I'm in a meeting?"

"Yes!"

"But!"

The secretary seemed anxious.

"You said before that once the Dragon Country's press conference had results, I should notify you."

"Right! What were the results?"

As the leader of the world's top chip company,

Pate Singh would notice news from anywhere in the world

as long as it was about chips

at the first opportunity.

Though he would prioritize based on urgency.

And the Dragon Country's prepared press conference naturally caught his attention.

But he didn't take it seriously.

Currently, the design and highest technology in the chip industry were with him.

And the most advanced Lithography Machine manufacturing technology was in the Netherlands.

So he just had his secretary keep an eye on it.

He didn't expect the secretary to rush in directly.

It seemed the matter wasn't so simple.

Pate Singh looked at all the board members.

Nodded and said:

"Then tell us the news."

"Did the Dragon Country make a Lithography Machine?"

"Yes!" The secretary nodded.

Breathing heavily and continuously.

Even as Pate Singh's secretary,

she was also a graduate student in the semiconductor industry.

And her own specialization was in chip manufacturing.

That's why she understood the importance of this news.

And its significance.

Pate Singh's frown deepened.

"Even if they can make one, so what?"

"chip design isn't something that happens overnight."

He asked lightly:

"What nanometer is their Lithography Machine?"

"1 nanometer!" The secretary said.

The board fell into silence.

Many board members doubted if they had heard correctly.

Pate Singh suddenly stood up.

Turned on the TV.

And asked anxiously:

"Which news channel is broadcasting it live?"

The secretary, wearing high heels,

hurried over.

"Let me!"

Took the remote control.

And switched to a news channel.

Actually, she didn't need to adjust much.

Now, almost all news channels in every time slot

were talking about this matter.

Pate Singh widened his eyes.

His fingers trembled slightly.

"How is that possible!!"

"They made a chip??"

"1 nanometer?"

"What's its computing power?"

As CEO, Pate Singh was the first to react.

Immediately diving into his work.

No one understood better than him what the Dragon Country's divine core release meant.

He directly instructed his secretary:

"Immediately contact our staff in the Dragon Country."

"Get in touch with this chip team right away."

"I want to know who invented it."

"They started from scratch."

"All materials and chip design ideas followed a never-before-taken path."

"No matter what means they use,"

"we must find out who invented it."

The secretary kept nodding while taking notes.

Then asked a question.

"Isn't it that old man named Ji Zhengkang?"

"It can't be him!" Pate Singh said with certainty.

"Trust my judgment!"

"If we can negotiate cooperation, then cooperate."

"If money can solve the situation, that's best."

Saying this, Pate Singh narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We need to act before people from other countries do."

"And recruit this person to our Intel at the first opportunity."

"If necessary,"

"I will personally go to negotiate with them!"

"Yes!" The secretary agreed... NVIDIA's CEO Huang Renxun was driving.

The car he was driving was clearly an electric vehicle.

Tesla.

And at that moment, he was on a call with Tesla's CEO.

"Yes, Mr. Ma."

"I'm driving your car right now."

"Next quarter,"

"the chip production capacity for your new cars"

"might be a bit tight on my end."

The other side urged:

"My new car production lines are already fully completed."

"Now we're just waiting for your chips."

"I know, but chips right now"

"aren't just supplying your cars."

"We're in the graphics card field..."

Just as he was speaking, Huang Renxun noticed someone calling.

And they kept calling.

Looking closely, it was his assistant.

So he said to Musk:

"Mr. Ma, wait a moment, I have something to attend to, I'll call you back shortly."

Who knew Musk on the other end seemed to have the same situation.

"They also said, okay, I have something to attend to as well."

Then Huang Renxun answered the call.

"Hello! Mr. Huang!" The voice on the other end was extremely anxious.

"It's bad!"

"What's the matter, so panicked?"

"The Dragon Country made a 1-nanometer chip!"

"What!!!" Huang Renxun slammed on the brakes.

With a screech.

The Tesla suddenly stopped on the street.

He didn't hesitate at all.

Immediately called Musk.

After a long time, Musk on the other end answered the phone.

"Mr. Ma, I thought about it, our production capacity should be able to supply quickly!"

Who knew Musk on the other end wasn't in a hurry anymore.

"Mr. Huang, no rush!"

"My production lines have some issues."

"Need to check them out!"

"Let's talk later." Then he hung up.

"Damn it!" Huang Renxun gritted his teeth!

Musk must have also heard the news.

Now he's going to the Dragon Country to seek cooperation!
