Chapter 1058 Unlucky IEEE

It is obviously not just domestic consumers who were stunned by this product launch.

The live video has already spread to every corner of the world through the live broadcast channels of Huawei's official website and cooperative media platforms.

When people were surprised that the carbon-based chip was real, and that Professor Lu was not joking with them, they couldn't help recalling the paper that was retracted by IEEE some time ago.

Obviously, the data in that paper is not exaggerated, and it can even be said to be quite conservative.

For a while, IEEE's position became awkward.

Withdrawing a correct paper from the summit and smearing it as academic deceit not only violates the principle of academic freedom, but is itself a manifestation of academic deception.

If this is the result of the unanimous agreement of IEEE's top management, the subsequent impact of this retraction will be a heavy blow to IEEE's reputation in the field of electronics ... and even a series of covered fields including computers, electrical engineering, etc.

More than a dozen professors and scholars from many universities in China, including Yanda University and Shuimu University, have announced their withdrawal from the IEEE organization, and strongly condemned this behavior that seriously violates the spirit of academic freedom.

At the same time, the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also responded quickly, lowering the divisional rating of IEEE journals by one level for multiple reasons such as "academic corruption" and "low standards".

Even though IEEE quickly launched public relations, it clarified this matter and moved out that "the withdrawal of the manuscript is a ruling made by the Organizing Committee of the International IC Design and Technology Conference in accordance with US law", "it is the personal behavior of the director of the committee", "temporary withdrawal The manuscript is not permanently withdrawn", "there may be shady transactions behind it will be seriously investigated", and a series of reasons that are not only illogical, but even make people laugh, are no longer helpful.

Papers that have been withdrawn cannot be re-uploaded.

Not to mention that they can't do this kind of thing of eating back the spit out, it is impossible for Lu Zhou to agree...

...

In fact, compared to those who instruct them to do these things, IEEE is still lucky.

After all, even if they are facing the most serious reputation crisis since the publication, and their credibility and influence are both setbacks, they are still far from the step of facing life and death.

However, for those semiconductor industry alliances who ordered them to withdraw the manuscript, they were really pushed to the edge of the precipice of life and death.

Qualcomm headquarters.

In the chairman's office.

After watching the video of the press conference, a group of executives were anxious like ants on a hot pot, and they discussed for a long time but failed to come up with any good ideas.

"...the only way now is to lobby Congress to legislate not to recognize their patents in the name of national security, and ask our allies to—"

Hearing the proposal made by his secretary, Jacob's nose was almost crooked, and he shouted angrily with spit flying all over the place.

"Are you crazy? Congress has a brain hole to vote for this kind of proposal! Besides, whose interests are it hurting?"

Shocked by the terrifying momentum, the secretary subconsciously closed his mouth, trembling and afraid to speak.

"Fack! What shall we do now?"

Facing the roar of the chairman, there was a deathly silence in the office.

It wasn't just Jacob who wanted to know.

Everyone wants to know what they should do now.

However, judging from the current situation, the situation they are facing is almost unsolvable. In the face of the innovative technology of carbon-based chips, the silicon-based chips in their hands are like a giant ship that may sink at any time. They are proud of the ecology built around silicon-based chips, and the ambitions they have shown in Warwick It is also vulnerable in front of it.

In fact, it may be a good idea to actively study carbon-based chip technology.

However, the difficulties involved are far from being as simple as this sentence sounds.

At least according to the paper published by Professor Lu in "Future", this carbon-based chip uses a graphene material prefixed with "SG" series, which is used in controllable fusion superconducting magnet coils A modified version of the material above that exhibits semiconducting properties.

However, so far, let alone carbon-based chips, they have not even found a good industrial synthesis method for SG materials. The superconducting magnets of the unfinished fusion power station in California rely on imported from China at the same time. Made of SG material.

Even if everyone standing here believes that they will eventually master this technology, how long it will take, no one can give even an estimated date in their hearts.

Just then, the silence in the office was broken.

The chief engineer Derek Wakov, who had been leaning against the table with his arms folded and thinking, suddenly said: "In fact, the impact of carbon-based chips on our business should be relatively minimal."

Jacob said with a gloomy face, "I don't need you to tell me this."

As we all know, the most profitable department of Qualcomm is the legal department. They do not produce chips themselves, at least they don’t have to worry about how to eliminate those companies that will soon change like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC. Worthless backward production capacity.

But so what?

Their patents in the communication field may last for a while, but what next?

With the upgrading of chip technology, communication technology will catch up sooner or later. When their chips are rolled out in the whole field, everything he is worried about will definitely happen.

"You misunderstood me." Looking at Jacob with a gloomy face, Wakov paused and continued, "I mean, if carbon-based chips are really the future, why should we resist him?"

"It will take them three years to make Longteng chips bloom everywhere in the downstream industry chain, but in another way of thinking, we still have three years to make business adjustments."

Jacob frowned slightly, his expression seemed to have thought of something, but he was a little undecided, so he said in a deep voice.

"……you mean?"

"Maybe we can talk to those Chinese people in private."

Wakov paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course I don't mean to surrender. It's just that it is impossible for Warwick to eat all of such a large market. Even if they have the support of the entire country, it is impossible. If it is really head-to-head, this It will be a long game, maybe we will lose in the end, and they will not get much benefit."

The principle of trade is mutual benefit and win-win. A big tree cannot survive without branches and leaves, even if it is trying to show its strength and cover all areas that everyone can think of.

However, there are still those corners that they didn't mention and have no time to take care of.

In the 1+8+n strategy, only the 1+8 part is Huawei's core business, and the n part should be completed by other components in the entire ecosystem, so as to form a good ecosystem.

In fact, that product launch, while demonstrating their strength, was also hinting at this point to the industry.

Although they don't want to admit it, the best choice for them to survive now is to give up this game that is heading towards the end, and put the remaining pieces as much as possible into the next game.

Although it may take a lot of energy and cost to adapt to their rules, if they don't do this, they will continue to embrace the dead tree of traditional carbon-based chips, and they will be buried by the times sooner or later...

Already guessing what Wakov was going to say, Jacob's eyes flickered.

"...You asked me to contact Huawei in private? This is a betrayal of the industry alliance."

Seeing Jacob kick the ball to himself, Wakov sighed and continued.

"Come on, my dear Mr. Jacob, do you think our superficial allies can hold back after watching that product launch event? Even if our old friend Intel, put all their toothpaste at once It is impossible to defeat our opponents after being squeezed. Rather than drowning in the same boat with them, it is better to make other plans early."

"What's more, I heard that the old fox of Swann was at the press conference! Why did the entire semiconductor industry invite them alone? Is it just for the sake of fighting against the industry giants? Or did you also receive the invitation, but you just didn't go?"

After Wakov's voice fell, the air in the company was quiet for a long time.

Seeing that Jacob didn't answer his question, Wakov already had the answer in his heart, so he was not in a hurry, just stood aside and waited quietly.

He believed that the chairman must have seen what he could see.

It's just that it's not easy to make up your mind...

After a long silence, Jacob finally lowered his noble forehead and nodded slightly.

"……I see."

Wakov finally heaved a sigh of relief, but when he turned his back and walked towards the door, he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.

The alliance has disintegrated.

Their time is over.

It was not easy to make this difficult decision, but he didn't want to see half of his life's hard work go to waste.

As long as you can survive, everything is worth it.
