The reason why companies such as Micron, Kingston, Seagate, and Western Digital are so anxious is 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 and becomes more dominant in the Xia continent market, its products will definitely spill over to other markets around the world.
The American Computer Association and the Semiconductor Association once again used the opportunity of their monthly meetings to inform member units of relevant situations.
Missili chaired the meeting and distributed information on carbon crystal memory in the conference room.
The data consists of two parts.
Part of it is technical information, that is, a comparison of the performance of carbon crystal memory and ordinary memory.
These data come from research by laboratories such as Micron and Kingston.
Another part of the data is a study of the market share and sales price of carbon crystal memory in the United States.
Due to the small quantity of carbon crystal memory, the market share is not high, but its sales price and popularity shocked everyone in the association.
Misili said: "There is no doubt that Changtian Technology's related products have posed a serious threat to the U.S. semiconductor industry! We must take measures."
After Misili said this, everyone in the member unit had different expressions.
Microsoft and other companies were immersed in the information, but their expressions made it clear that they were unwilling to wade into muddy waters.
Microsoft is accumulating strength on the WinXP system, waiting for the official launch of the WinXP system to avenge its shame.
The Intel representative looked drowsily at the big screen.
Whether you use Kingston's memory sticks or Changtian Technology's memory, you must use Intel 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 Xia Kingdom, and Xia Kingdom's cheap labor and material costs are also attracting Intel.
In 1985, Intel established its first representative office in Yanjing.
In 1994, Intel was established in Xiaguo Architecture Development Laboratory (iadl).
In November 1994, the chip testing and packaging factory in Shanghai broke ground.
In November 1998, the Intelligent Kingdom Research Center (icrc) was established.
Intel has received the news that Xia Guo will definitely join the WTO at the end of this year, and also plans to use Xia Guo to assemble and test Intel Pentium 4 related processors.
The core design, production and other technologies of Intel chips will definitely not be placed in Xia Guo.
However, industries that require a lot of labor and land, such as testing, assembly, and packaging, can be placed in Xia Kingdom.
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 to 30 years of technological accumulation, it is impossible to even think about it.
In this case, there was no need for Intel to offend the Xiaguo market, so Intel representatives chose to keep silent.
Companies such as NVIDIA have also remained silent. Last year, the sales of their products in the Xiaguo mainland market hit a new high.
Since this year, extremely cost-effective PCs represented by Shenchuan have also been purchasing large quantities of their own products. NVIDIA does not involve memory and hard disk products, so this matter has no impact on NVIDIA.
Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies have the same expression. This matter does not involve their own profits.
Especially Dell. Dell also thought that if it could get carbon crystal memory, it would definitely be able to break out of the red sea market.
Motherboard manufacturers such as Asus and Gigabyte in the Bay Area also participated in the meeting via video. Their eyes were blurred and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Only companies such as Micron and Seagate listened very carefully to Misili's speech. They are eager to reach relevant consensus at this meeting.
But unfortunately, when Misili put forward the request to change the hardware adaptation, there were very few responders.
The world's major motherboard manufacturers are all in the Bay Area.
At this time, companies such as Asus and Gigabyte are still very confused.
It's not because the Han manufacturers want to help Xia Continent, but because they are calculating their own interests.
On one side is the request of the American father, on the other side is the market of Xia Continent.
These manufacturers will not take a stance easily before calculating their interests clearly.
The regular meeting broke up unhappy.
However, at the strong request of Micron, Kingston and other companies, the American Semiconductor Association reported the relevant situation of Changtian Technology to the U.S. Department of Commerce and requested the Department of Commerce to take measures at the national level.
The report jointly submitted by these companies to the U.S. Department of Commerce includes the judgments of Stanford University and other universities and scientific research institutions on Changtian Technology's products, as well as the judgment of these companies on the influence of Changtian Technology's products after a joint market survey.
He wrote in the report: At present, Changtian Technology’s memory products have far exceeded the performance of products from 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 American semiconductor companies, but also affect the national security of the United States.
The report is lengthy.
The content of the report is very thrilling, almost describing the products of Changtian Technology as a scourge.
There is only one request in the report. I hope that the U.S. Department of Commerce will find ways to prevent Changtian Technology's products from circulating in the U.S. market as soon as possible.
On this basis, we also hope that the U.S. Commerce Department can find a way to prohibit Changtian Technology from continuing to make achievements in the semiconductor market.
Half a year ago, Changtian Technology had already entered the field of vision of relevant US departments.
But because Changtian Technology was still relatively small at that time and its influence was not very great, the relevant departments in 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 US commerce department to take measures.
However, Changtian Technology's products have flowed into the black market through smuggling, which still deserves the vigilance of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The U.S. Commerce Department promised to get in touch with law enforcement agencies and make some efforts to combat the trend.
But that's all that can be done.
But are the relevant law enforcement agencies in the United States effective in combating smuggling?
Of course it won't be very effective.
Where there is profit, there must be interest groups.
If the United States had limited efforts to crack down on smuggling, the centuries-old drug trafficking channels 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 Association for Computing Machinery and the Semiconductor Association a more reliable suggestion.
First put pressure on motherboard manufacturers to produce motherboards according to new specifications.
Of course, new motherboards cannot be adapted to carbon crystal memory, so the market will surely be able to make the right choice.
Moreover, these motherboard manufacturers are all companies in the Wanwan area.
Even if you want to offend Xia Guo's market, let the companies in the Wanwan area do it first. This will not harm the interests of Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia and other companies too much.
And this way we can also see the next reaction of Changtian Technology.
Microsoft's lessons learned from the past are still in front of everyone.
Microsoft lost 60% of the Xiaguo market in an instant. No company can withstand this kind of blow.
