407: Chapter 406 200 Trillion Times! The Terrifying Performance of the Dream Butterfly Chip!
The CEO's pretentious opening remarks quickly caused an uproar throughout the venue.
In the Huaxia business world, the CEO of Huachen and Lei Jun of Dami are recognized by everyone as the two greatest show-offs among the new internet forces.
Now, Huachen Technology's nano-chip projects have achieved successive, massive successes.
Consequently, they were collectively "recruited" by the Huaxia authorities, who specifically tasked their core team with undertaking the full-stack research and development of the Huaxia quantum chip project.
As the project leader, the CEO's arrogance was inevitable, and everyone had long been mentally prepared for this.
However, as soon as he spoke, everyone—being the smart people they were—quickly sensed that something was off.
"Lei, buddy!" Zhou Hong couldn't help but ask Lei Jun, who was sitting next to him.
"What does the CEO mean by this? Could Huachen's quantum chip be releasing ahead of schedule?"
Lei Jun took a deep breath and said, word by word, "Tell me, is there a possibility... that the quantum chip has already been developed by Huachen Technology?"
Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously denied it outright.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"You really dare to think anything!"
"How long has the quantum chip project been running? It's only been about three months in total! What kind of chip can be developed in three months?"
Lei Jun shook his head slightly.
"Don't forget the connection between Huachen Technology and Chief Designer Lin!"
Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "Damn! Can you really cheat like that? ..."
While the crowd was buzzing with discussion, the CEO's movements on the podium did not stop.
He took a palm-sized chip out of a box and held it up gently to show the audience.
At the same time, through the operation of an assistant engineer, the 3D appearance, specific structure, and performance parameters of the first-generation quantum chip officially appeared on the large screen in the venue.
"It is a great honor!"
"Under the guidance of Chief Designer Lin!"
"Our Huachen Technology quantum chip R&D team!"
"Formally developed the first true quantum chip in human civilization the day before yesterday—'Mengdie Generation I'!"
Facing the crowd, the CEO was full of pride.
"Fellow industry peers!"
"The great era belonging to our internet industry has truly arrived!"
Ignoring the crowd's reaction, the CEO continued his presentation at his own pace.
"As for the specific performance parameters of the 'Mengdie Generation I' quantum chip, I won't introduce too much; you can see for yourselves!"
"Here, I will only introduce one thing!"
"The core function of the chip!"
"Computing power!"
At this moment, the screen in the venue had switched to a comparison chart.
"As everyone knows!"
"The most intuitive impression of a quantum chip is that it is fast!"
"But exactly how fast!"
"Let's take a look at this comparison!"
The CEO pointed to the left side of the screen behind him and introduced it to the audience with a smile.
"Two years ago!"
"Our Huaxia's new generation supercomputer, Feihong!"
"Achieved a Guinness World Record!"
"That is, its core peak performance reached a terrifying 25.2 billion billion operations per second, ranking first in the world!"
"In addition, its sustained performance also reached 13 billion billion operations per second, with a core operating frequency of 2.5 GHz, directly entering the top three in the comprehensive performance rankings of supercomputers from countries around the world!"
"Therefore, the Feihong supercomputer has also been repeatedly praised by all walks of life as a national treasure of Huaxia!"
"But!..." The CEO paused.
When he spoke again, his voice was trembling slightly.
"Our first-generation quantum chip, the Mengdie chip!"
"Its comprehensive computing power has already exceeded the Feihong supercomputer by 2 quadrillion times!"
"Yes!"
"You heard that right!"
"2 quadrillion times!"
"In other words, a problem that the Feihong supercomputer would need to spend over 10 billion years to calculate can be solved by it in less than 1 second!"
"And this is just the Mengdie Generation I!"
"After its performance is iteratively optimized, the calculation speed will see an exponential and terrifying improvement!"
"..." A full ten seconds passed.
The entire venue remained dead silent.
Everyone seemed immersed in a state of immense shock, unable to pull themselves out.
"Clap clap clap clap!!"
With someone taking the lead, thunderous applause quickly filled the entire venue!
Many people even stood up in excitement, clapping wildly for the debut of the quantum chip.
"You're really something, CEO!! You promised it for the middle of next year, yet you actually managed to get the quantum chip out this August!!..."
"It's 2 quadrillion times faster than the Feihong supercomputer, which has the highest computing power in the world! My god! Just how fast must that be? I don't even dare to imagine it!..."
"Isn't today just the industrial deployment? You actually brought out the quantum chip directly; you're not giving us any way to survive at all!!..."
This unexpected, wonderful news was a huge surprise to everyone.
At the same time, it was also an unprecedented and immense challenge.
A sense of urgency followed immediately.
The debut of the quantum chip was a disruptive and great revolution for the internet industry.
All companies associated with the industry were beneficiaries.
But as the CEO said, there wasn't much time left for everyone!
Those who fell behind in this quantum race would inevitably be rapidly eliminated!
