Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Li Jianxi couldn't sit down anymore.

He just came to power, and now he has become the helmsman of Samsung, with hundreds of thousands of employees in the entire Samsung Group.

Their eyes were all fixed on Li Jianxi.

They hope that Li Jianxi will sail the Samsung ship far away.

As soon as Li Jianxi took the stage, he set his sights on semiconductors.

In fact, Samsung Semiconductor once got a good start with the technical support of Eagle Sauce and Sakura Country.

Even in 1992, their DRAM business surpassed any Sakura Country company.

The accident began with the emergence of Zhongxun, and the collapse began when Zhongxun entered the DRAM business.

In 1993, Lee Kun-hee believed in reverse investment and mortgaged Samsung Shipping Company for one billion US dollars to invest in the construction of a new wafer factory.

So far, Samsung Semiconductor has incurred a huge loss of US$1.4 billion.

Li Jianxi was exhausted mentally and physically.

Lee Byung-kun, President of Samsung Semiconductor Semiconductor Processing, reported: "We have completed the commercialization of the 500-nanometer process. The yield rate can reach 87%!"

Li Jianxi asked: "How about the mass production of DRAM particles?"

"Pellets with a capacity of 2M can be mass-produced!"

Li Jianxi became angry and shouted: "Zhongxun has started mass production of 8M capacity particles, and their laboratory has announced that 16M capacity particles are being prepared for commercialization, and you, 2M capacity, have just started mass production..."

"..." Li Bingkun didn't speak. He was ashamed. Zhongxun's technical advantage was too great. He didn't have any joy in solving the 500-nanometer process. His heart felt like a big mountain pressing down on him, and his breathing became heavy.

He really wanted to say, give up semiconductors! Li Bingkun is very clear about the technological advantages built by Zhongxun, and how much money Samsung needs to invest if it wants to reach this level.

You must know that every development requires continuous experiments, and these experiments cost money.

Li Jianxi took a deep breath.

When he left Zhongxun last time, he swore in front of Zhongxun's R\u0026D building in the car that he would never come to Shencheng again. He would use Samsung's own strength to knock Zhongxun to the ground. Step under your feet!

And now, he wants to tear up this oath, Zhongxun is still Zhongxun, it is still the life-saving straw they need to grasp...

…

As Mr. Zhao imagined, the rapid iteration of Zhongxun Semiconductor technology has put heavy pressure on every semiconductor manufacturer in the world.

"This is beyond objective laws!"

The development of semiconductors has always followed Moore's Law. In fact, Moore's Law has always been the goal that Intel wants to catch up with.

As the world leader in the semiconductor industry, Intel has used its strength to explain who is the trend-setter of the times.

And now...

Intel feels the pressure they once put on other manufacturers.

It's like being in a class.

The outstanding Zhongxun students scored 100 points in the exam. That was because the test paper only had 100 points and the teacher doubled the teaching speed.

Intel was shocked to find that they could no longer keep up with the course.

"Mr. Edgehill, the test results of VIA's new processor are out..."

Edgehill took the test data and had a headache.

"Why is our 350nm technology not as good as their 500nm process!"

No one answered Edgehill's question.

“R\u0026D requires money and even more time!”

The launch of the Pentium processor has been hasty, and a lot of time for testing and demonstration has been omitted.

New process, new architecture!

Edgehill shouted hysterically: "I want to ask you now, when will our new architecture Pentium processor appear?"

No one answered this question!

"No, God!"

His assistant, Mr. Milani Walker, hurried to the office with a newspaper in his hand!

"Mr. Edgehill, the Silicon Valley Times published a news story saying that the Pentium processor has serious design flaws!"

"..." Edgehill's eyes were wide open, in disbelief.

"What's going on? Aren't they afraid that we will sue them?"

Edgehill shook his head. The Silicon Valley Times was unprofessional. If such a thing happened, he should contact Intel first. How could it be published in the newspaper immediately?

Dr. Joseph Kaufman, the architect of Intel's Pentium processor, also chased after him.

"what happened?"

Dr. Kaufman shook his head and said: "We know that this vulnerability existed during the test. We calculated that the probability of a problem occurring is only one in 4.7 billion, so there is no need to make a fuss at all!"

"..." Edgehill felt like he was talking to a group of pigs. He looked at Kaufman in disbelief and said, "Why don't I know, Dr. Kaufman, why don't I know!"

"Changing the design is expected to take half a year and go through the process again. We don't have time, and this loophole is not a loophole at all!"

Edgehill pointed to the text in the newspaper and said to Kaufman: "Your loophole is in scientific computing. God, what should I tell you, scientific computing, if a processor has a problem in scientific computing?" , what does it mean? Even if this vulnerability only occurs once in a million years..."

This is not a matter of probability, it is a matter of human psychology and human nature. When you know that there is a bug in this processor, even if the bug is minimal, as long as the bug exists, you will doubt the calculation results.

"No one can stand having their calculations done on a problem processor!"

Edgehill asked the sales director: "How many Pentium processors have been sold?"

"Seven million!"

This number makes Edgehill despair!

"How much is left in stock?"

"A million!"

This is billions of dollars, Intel can't afford it!

Edgehill asked Kaufman, "Can this vulnerability be fixed with software?"

"We're working on it!"

With a glimmer of hope, Edgehill told Assistant Milica Rakic, who was in charge of public relations: "Contact the newspaper and Intel will hold a press conference to say that the cause of the vulnerability is not a problem with the processor, but with the software. reason."

Edgehill turned to Kaufman and said, "Dr. Kaufman, you will be the spokesperson, we need to minimize the impact!"

Kaufman shook his head and told Edgehill something that made him despair: "Mr. Edgehill, I'm afraid I can't. I haven't found a way to fix this vulnerability in software yet!"

Silence, tranquility, no one spoke, only Edgehill's face was red with anger!

"Why? Just say a few words and let Intel get through this crisis!"

Kaufman shook his head and said: "I can't say that there is no problem with the processor. This is a crime. I can't let my career be drowned in lies, and this vulnerability..."

Edgehill hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with this loophole?"

"Unfortunately, this vulnerability cannot be repaired with software..."
