Chapter 293: each with his own mind
Micron, Kingston, Seagate, Western Digital and other companies are so anxious because Changtian Technology has affected their actual market share and profits.
In just three months, tens of thousands of carbon crystal memories have entered the US market.
If Changtian Technology completes mass production, it will become more dominant in the Xiaguo mainland market, and the products will definitely spill over to other markets around the world.
The US Computer Association and the Semiconductor Association once again used the opportunity of the monthly regular meeting to inform the member units of the relevant situation.
Missili chaired the meeting and distributed materials related to carbon crystal memory in the conference room.
The data consists of two parts.
Part of it is technical information, that is, the comparison of the performance of carbon crystal memory and ordinary memory.
These data come from the research of Micron, Kingston and other laboratories.
Another part of the data is the research on the market share and sales price of carbon crystals in the United States.
Because of the small number of carbon crystal memory, the market share is not high, but its sales price and popularity shocked everyone in the association.
Missili said: "There is no doubt that the related products of Changtian Technology have caused a serious threat to the semiconductor industry in the United States! We must take measures."
After Missili said this, the expressions of everyone in the member unit were different.
Companies such as Microsoft are burying their heads in looking at the information, but their expressions are very clear, and they are unwilling to walk in muddy waters.
Microsoft is accumulating the winxp system, waiting for the official launch of the winxp system to be humiliated.
The Intel representative stared at the big screen, drowsy.
Whether you use Kingston's memory sticks or Changtian Technology's memory, you must use Intel's chips.
There is no doubt that the Xiaguo market is a market with strong potential.
Intel is looking for ways to expand its influence in Xiaguo, and the cheap labor and material costs of Xiaguo also attract Intel.
In 1985, Intel set up its first representative office in Yanjing.
In 1994, Intel established the Xiaguo Architecture Development Laboratory (iadl).
In November 1994, the chip testing and packaging factory in Shanghai broke ground.
In November 1998, the Intel Xia Research Center (icrc) was created.
Intel has received the news that Xia Guo will definitely join the wto by the end of this year, and also plans to assemble and test Intel Pentium 4 related processors in Xia Guo.
The core design, production and other technologies of Intel chips will definitely not be placed in Xia Guo.
However, industries such as testing, assembly, and packaging that require a lot of labor and land can be placed in Xia Guo.
Intel also firmly believes that memory and hard drives are only primary products. It is very difficult for Xia Guo to develop and produce chips. Without 20 or 30 years of technical precipitation, don't even think about it.
In this case, Intel has absolutely no need to offend the Xiaguo market, so Intel's representatives chose to shut up.
Companies such as Nvidia have also remained silent, and sales of their own products in the Xiaguo mainland market hit a new high last year.
Since the beginning of this year, the ultimate cost-effective PCs represented by Shenchuan are also purchasing their own products in large quantities, and NVIDIA does not involve memory and hard disk products. This matter has no impact on NVIDIA.
The same is true for the expressions of companies such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard, which do not involve their own profits.
Especially Dell, Dell also thought that if it can get carbon crystal memory, it must be able to break out of the Red Sea market.
In the Bay Area, motherboard manufacturers such as ASUS and Gigabyte also participated in the conference by video. Their eyes were blurred and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Only Micron, Seagate and other companies listened to Missili's speech very seriously, and they were eager to reach a relevant consensus at this meeting.
But unfortunately, when Missili made a request to change the hardware adaptation, there were very few responders.
The world's major motherboard manufacturers are located in the Bay Area.
At this time, companies such as ASUS and Gigabyte are still very entangled.
It's not because their Han Chinese manufacturers really want to help Xiaguo Continent, but because they are thinking about their own interests.
On one side is the request of the American father, and on the other side is the market of the mainland of Xia.
These manufacturers will not take their position lightly without calculating their interests.
The regular meeting broke up unhappily.
However, at the strong request of companies such as Micron and Kingston, the US Semiconductor Association reported the relevant situation of Changtian Technology to the Ministry of Commerce of the United States, requiring the Ministry of Commerce to take measures at the national level.
The reports jointly submitted by these companies to the U.S. Department of Commerce include the judgments of Stanford University and other universities and scientific research institutions on Changtian technology products, as well as their judgments on the influence of Changtian technology products after a joint market survey by these companies.
In the report, it is written: At present, the memory products of Changtian Technology have far exceeded the performance of the products of related companies in the United States.
If this situation is allowed to continue, Changtian Technology's memory products will surely occupy the US market, which will not only affect the survival of US semiconductor companies, but also affect the national security of the US.
The report is lengthy.
The content of the report is very thrilling, almost describing the products of Changtian Technology as a beast.
There is only one requirement in the report. I hope that the U.S. Department of Commerce will find a way to prevent Changtian Technology’s products from circulating in the U.S. market as soon as possible.
On this basis, I also hope that the US Commerce Department can find a way to prohibit Changtian Technology from continuing to do something in the semiconductor market.
Half a year ago, Changtian Technology has entered the field of vision of relevant US departments.
However, because the scale of Changtian Technology at that time was still relatively small and its influence was not great, the relevant departments of the United States did not use national power.
Even at this moment, the size of Changtian Technology is very small, and there is no trade between Changtian Technology and the United States, which is not enough for the U.S. Commerce Department to take measures.
However, the products of Changtian Technology have flowed into the black market through smuggling, which is worthy of the vigilance of the US Department of Commerce.
The U.S. Department of Commerce promised to get in touch with law enforcement and make some efforts to combat the trend.
But that's all it can do.
But are the relevant U.S. law enforcement agencies effective against smuggling?
Of course it won't be very effective.
Where there is profit, there must be interest groups.
If the United States had limited its crackdown on smuggling, the century-old drug trafficking channel on the US-Mexico border would have been blocked long ago.
This result may have been expected.
The U.S. Department of Commerce also gave these technology companies, the American Computer Society and the Semiconductor Association a more reliable suggestion to put pressure on motherboard manufacturers to produce motherboards according to the new specifications.
Of course, there is no way for the new motherboard to be adapted to the carbon crystal memory. Since then, the market must be able to make the right choice.
And these motherboard manufacturers are all companies in the curved area.
Even if you want to offend Xia Guo's market, let the companies in the Wanwan area offend first, so as not to damage the interests of Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA and other companies too much.
And this can also see the next step of Changtian Technology.
Microsoft's lessons learned are still in front of everyone.
Microsoft lost 60% of the Xiaguo market in an instant, a blow that no company can withstand.
