Upon learning the news that Han Kingdom had compromised, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and sighed, "It turns out that they need to be warned before they behave themselves."
Of course, when Han Country chose to compromise, many people in the United States were almost angry to death.
After all, they had finally interrupted the business tentacles extended by Xingtu Technology, but Han Guo used itself as an example to warn the world the consequences of offending Xingtu Technology.
This means that the difficulty of ruling that Xingtu Technology has a monopoly will increase several times in the future.
However, as the saying goes, misfortunes never come alone. When the US Empire thought that the adverse blow they had suffered was limited to this, Xingtu Technology made another big move within a month.
The big move was that Xingtu Technology officially released the first generation of carbon nanotube chips on National Day on October 2016, 10.
The performance of this first-generation carbon nanotube chip is not very powerful, and it is simply a weak chicken in this era.
Because according to the information released by Xingtu Technology.
This first-generation carbon nanotube chip uses the RISC-V open source instruction set, a 16-bit architecture, and has only 14000 carbon nanotube transistors.
Among them, the so-called carbon nanotube transistor was developed by the carbon nanotube chip in the previous life, and Peng Lianmao, who jumped to Xingtu Technology in this life, was responsible for the research and development.
The only bright spot of this first-generation carbon nanotube chip is that its energy consumption is only one-tenth of that of a silicon chip of the same size.
In addition, without using a dedicated radiator, its frequency can easily exceed 1GHz!
With its amazing frequency, this 16-bit carbon nanotube processor would be a steal if it were put in the 80s or even the 90s.
That is definitely very powerful, enough to completely beat other processors of the same period.
Of course, that was in the 80s or 90s. In this era, the performance of this first generation of carbon nanotube chips is really too weak.
Of course, people don’t care about the performance of the first generation of carbon nanotube chips, they care about other aspects.
Because with the release of carbon nanotube chips, it has been proved that carbon nanotube chips can exist in reality.
This also means that from today on, mankind has officially entered the era of carbon nanotube chips.
It also means that from today on, carbon nanotube chips will gradually replace silicon transistor chips, ushering in a new era.
Because carbon nanotube transistors are compared with traditional silicon transistors.
Carbon nanotube chips are smaller, more conductive, and support fast switching, with performance and energy consumption far better than traditional silicon transistors.
Theoretically, carbon nanotube transistors can be ten times more efficient than silicon transistors, and consume only one-tenth the energy of silicon semiconductors.
Theoretically, a carbon nanotube chip manufactured using a 45-nanometer process can achieve the performance of a silicon semiconductor chip manufactured using a 7-nanometer process, while consuming such low energy.
In this case, how can traditional silicon transistor chips beat carbon nanotube chips?
So with the release of the first generation of carbon nanotube chips, although its performance was somewhat unimpressive in this era, it still successfully left a mark in the history of global science and technology.
Of course, the American empire has much broader concerns than technology and business media.
Because through the release of the first generation of carbon nanotube chips, they have vaguely seen a new era, an era in which Daxia will dominate the development of carbon nanotube chips.
After all, there are only two companies in the world that can produce single-walled carbon nanotubes, the most important source of materials for carbon nanotube chips. These two companies are Xingtu Technology and its joint venture, Carbon Element Company.
This means that although the United States can follow up on the research and development of carbon nanotube chips, the chip materials are controlled by Xingtu Technology and Daxia.
If the situation changes in the future, they will definitely not be able to produce a single carbon nanotube chip, which will naturally be unacceptable to the United States.
Therefore, the American Empire, which has vaguely seen the future development trajectory, has become more and more anxious, and they have begun to frantically encourage companies to develop graphene chips.
Want to use graphene chips to fight against Daxia's carbon nanotube chips.
After all, theoretically, graphene and carbon nanotubes each have their own advantages in carbon-based chips.
Since Xingtu Technology and Daxia have embarked on the route of carbon nanotube chips, if they want to avoid Daxia's technical patent barriers, they can only go the route of graphene chips.
So it took less than a week after Xingtu Technology released the first generation of carbon nanotube chips.
Intel, Texas Instruments, Apple, AMD and other companies in the U.S. semiconductor industry have jointly established a strategic research and development alliance for graphene chips.
Soon after its establishment, the alliance rapidly absorbed major global semiconductor companies.
They have become the world's largest R&D strategic alliance, and their main goal is to advocate the gathering of global forces to jointly develop graphene chips.
Then solve the mass production problem of graphene and graphene chips in the shortest time, and then apply graphene chips in various occasions!
It can be said that this time, except for Daxia, companies around the world have really joined together to contribute money and effort to develop something. This is an unprecedented phenomenon.
This shows how much pressure Xingtu Technology has put on other semiconductor companies around the world, forcing them to unite and pool global R&D resources to speed up the launch of graphene chips.
After learning about their great alliance, Lin Feng shook his head slightly and didn't care much.
Because Lin Feng was confident that he could outperform them. After all, they were a strategic R&D alliance jointly developed by scientific research institutions and companies around the world.
But after all, each company has its own thoughts and focus in this strategic R&D alliance.
Everyone wants others to do the hard work while they do the easy and profitable work.
This also means that they cannot become one fist and use their strength in one place, so even if they have ten points of strength, some of it has already been consumed internally.
But in any case, after they established the graphene chip strategic research and development alliance, the advancement of graphene chips has definitely accelerated.
After all, no matter how loose the hands are, they are still hands, and they are countless times better than the original state of loose sand.
Therefore, they successfully put a certain amount of pressure on Xingtu Technology, causing the R&D personnel within Xingtu Technology to hold back their energy.
If we want to speed up research and development and continue to maintain our leading edge, we cannot let the graphene chip strategic research and development alliance overtake us.
If this happens, they will become a laughing stock in Daxia and even the whole world.
Therefore, Xingtu Technology also held back its energy, and the R&D staff consciously entered a state of hard work and often worked overtime. (End of this chapter)
