Although at the first glance of the new microarchitecture of "Yinguang", Kochi had already tacitly assumed that the limelight of this international integrated circuit design and technology conference was destined to be stolen by Intel, but after seeing the carbon-based chip technology of Huawei HiSilicon, all his original ideas were overturned in an instant.

Not even a mere IEEE summit.

Almost as soon as the report ended, the news of "Longteng No. 1" and "carbon-based chips" took on wings, flew out of the lecture hall, and flew to the ears of all people in the industry.

Immediately afterwards, a sensation no less than a magnitude 8 earthquake spread throughout the semiconductor industry.

Huawei has made a major breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology!

The first Longteng No. 1 series chips based on carbon-based chip technology will serve mid-to-high-end servers, benchmarking the Xeon series chips of the industry's largest toothpaste factory!

A series of news came intensively, and one or two were still so energetic, it was overwhelming for a while.

At the same time, the reaction of the securities market also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Intel, which had just launched the "silver light" architecture, not only did not fly into the sky, but was even smashed to the floor by this sudden black swan......

Everything came so suddenly that there was no defense.

Although Mr. Kochi, the vice president of Qualcomm, has also considered another possibility, that is, this matter is just an oolong, there is no carbon-based chip at all, or Warwick HiSilicon is too optimistic - or even misinterpreted the email sent by the partner.

But all of this is pinned on a very small probability-

That is, for the paper with the name of his corresponding author, Professor Lu didn't even look at it.

However, this is clearly not possible.

It is not only Intel that has encountered a black swan event, but also Qualcomm, AMD, and even the entire semiconductor industry, all of which have suffered a slap in the face because of this sudden change.

It all came so suddenly.

There was no warning until the briefing began.

Many people don't even know that Jinling Institute for Advanced Study has such a project, and most people have only vaguely heard that Huaguo is engaged in the fifth largest semiconductor industry group, and Huawei HiSilicon is no longer satisfied with chip design and has begun to set foot in the upstream of the industrial chain.

However, no matter how you think about it, these fragmented news alone cannot be associated with carbon-based chips.

The chain effect caused by the heavy setback in the semiconductor industry soon affected the entire NASDAQ sector, and the pessimistic mood started from the mobile phone, PC, and server businesses, and spread wildly to all high-tech stocks.

No one expected that Intel, Qualcomm and other chip giants that are firmly in the upper reaches of the industrial chain will have a strong position that was leveraged by a chip as light as thin paper overnight.

Together with the foundations of the global semiconductor industry, the edifice is crumbling......

Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

In the dean's office.

Sitting on the sofa in front of the coffee table and drinking tea, Warwick boss Wang Zhengfei's face was full of joy that could not be hidden, and he smiled and talked to Lu Zhou about the ups and downs in the semiconductor industry because of that paper these days.

"In the past few days, the phones of our HiSilicon sales department have been flooded, and some of them have even called my office."

Huawei HiSilicon's sales strategy is to give priority to Warwick's internal orders, followed by domestic orders, and finally overseas sales according to market classification.

Judging from the current demand gap, the demand for chips in Warwick's self-operated business alone is enough for Jiangcheng Semiconductor Industrial Base to arrange orders until the end of the year.

For a while, even if others want to buy it, they may not be able to buy it.

However, this does not prevent those downstream manufacturers from expecting this chip.

Especially the highest power consumption of 20W, as well as the excellent heat dissipation performance of carbon-based chips. Even several well-known supercomputing centers in China have called, and they don't ask about the price, but when they will be in stock.

Knowing what it is like to have a phone call blown up, Lu Zhou said with empathy.

"Good work."

"What's the hard work?" Wang Zhengfei waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have more to worry about this little bit of hard work, and I still can't compare to you who are engaged in scientific research." ”

Lu Zhou: "I'm okay, Professor Wu is mainly in charge of this project. ”

Wang Zhengfei: "Speaking of which, Professor Wu is about to be rated as an academician, right?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "Well, I recommended it for him, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Wang Zhengfei said with a smile: "You said that the problem is not big, then it seems that there is really no problem." I'm also going to ask if there's anything I can do to help, and it seems like I'm thinking too much. ”

Lu Zhou smiled faintly, paused for a moment, and spoke.

"Speaking of which, I actually don't understand a little bit."

Putting down the teacup, Wang Zhengfei said with interest: "Oh? It seems that I have the honor to solve the doubts of Academician Lu, please ask any questions. ”

Lu Zhou: "Is there any point in putting the paper on the IEEE summit?" ”

It didn't seem surprising that Lu Zhou would ask this question, Wang Zhengfei smiled and said: "Before opening the gate to release water, we usually test the pressure of the pipeline first, which is a reason. Before the product launch, hang a paper to test the reaction of the industry, and if there is a problem exposed, we can make adjustments in advance. Again, we've been working behind closed doors for the past two days, and no one else knows we're working on this. ”

"It's like everyone thinks you're working on fourth-generation nuclear power technology, but you have been studying it behind closed doors for a year and a half, and suddenly a sentence of controlled fusion has been solved by us. There is no foreshadowing at all, not to mention that the entire industry may not be able to accept it, and your partners may not be able to trust you. ”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly: "What do we care about them?" ”

Patting his knee, Wang Zhengfei said with a smile: "That's a good question, we really don't need to care about them!" Sooner or later, manufacturers in the downstream of the industrial chain will find out that we are holding a treasure in our hands, but I am afraid that it will take a lot of time. After all, this thing is not nuclear fusion, and you can have a lot of fun behind closed doors, not to mention that we not only want to make money from this thing, but also redefine the entire industrial chain of the semiconductor industry and break the technical barriers of Western countries to us. ”

This involves more than just a chip problem, and if you want to do this, you have to catch them off guard. Before they react and chase after us, they will punch out a combination of punches first, and don't give them a chance to prepare at all! ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked with interest, "Oh?" What are the results of the manometry? ”

Wang Zhengfei smiled and said, "It's completely in line with expectations!" Now I'm afraid the entire semiconductor industry is looking forward to putting the real guys in front of them. The next step was to respond to their expectations and launch the product launch. How about it, is our Academician Lu interested in going up and saying a few words? ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to speak on stage again, Lu Zhou suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm not interested, there will be enough reports I have made during this time." What's more, as I said, what I do is theoretical work, and I don't know much about your chips, so you might as well find someone to do it. ”

"Haha, in fact, what you think is too complicated, you stand on it, you don't have to say anything, I dare to say that our chips don't have to worry about no one buying," Wang Zhengfei smiled, paused for a moment, and then retreated: "Then it's okay to visit the site, right?" Anyway, it's in Jinling, and you don't need to go far away. ”

Lu Zhou hesitated and said.

“…… All right. ”

It's nothing to go to the scene to see it, not to mention that it's in Jinling, and it's not very troublesome.

At this moment, the sound of the mobile phone vibrating suddenly rang.

Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, Wang Zhengfei glanced at Lu Zhou apologetically and said.

"Wait a minute, work call, I'll answer it."

Lu Zhou: "Do you need me to avoid it?" ”

"No, no, no, it's not in the way."

The call took less than half a minute.

The old man only said two "um" words and a "I know" throughout the whole process, but his expression switched back and forth between surprise and intriguing several times.

Looking at Wang Zhengfei, who put down the phone, Lu Zhou asked casually.

"I guess what's the good news?"

Stuffing the phone back into his pocket, Wang Zhengfei coughed lightly and said, "The IEEE summit has withdrawn our papers." ”

As soon as these words were said, the two suddenly glanced at each other, and after exchanging glances, they smiled in unison.

One smiled a little embarrassedly.

And the other, laughing a little sly.
