Technological Hegemony

The news that Star Technology and Micron Group will hold a new product launch conference on the same day quickly caused a huge sensation in the world.

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet. After all, since the last alliance formed by Samsung and Apple was defeated by Star Technology and the alliance of the Big Four, it was the first time anyone dared to confront Star Technology.

People who eat melons have speculated that Xingchen Technology may start with the memory chip. After all, the three core chips of the computer, Xingchen Technology has solved the bridge between the processor and the master control. Storage is the last bone. As long as the storage is taken down, Xingchen Technology will The semiconductor wars could be declared over.

Although in the huge industry of semiconductors, there are still countless chips waiting for the Huaxia Army to conquer, but we can't wait for Star Technology to do everything. The project will be handed over to the partners to complete.

As for the Micron Group, it is not known whether it was a smoke bomb or a pre-publicized strategy. A lot of news flooded the Internet for a while, quickly attracting serious attention from technology enthusiasts around the world.

"Xingchen Technology is finished. As far as I know, the products that Micron Group will release do not belong to this era at all. They are future masterpieces that surpass everything!"

"Micron is the second largest memory chip manufacturer in the world and the largest in the United States. The founders are from MIT, Oak Ridge Laboratory, and the famous NASA. Their cooperation with the top research institutions in the United States is far more than you can imagine. profound."

"That is, Micron's laboratory and Oak Ridge Laboratory communicate with each other every month. How can there be no black technology at the bottom of the box?"

"It's hard to say anything else. In the field of memory chips alone, Star Technology is a scumbag in front of the Micron Group. Don't think that it's a big deal to get the fourth-generation DDR. Micron will make a move, and I promise to scare you to death!"

The people who made these remarks on the Internet seem to be a group of insiders of the Micron Group. The depth of the topic and the evidence and data provided are quite credible.

For a while, the world gradually believed that the Micron Group was about to come up with a big killer, and the situation of Xingchen Technology seemed to be bad.

However, Xingchen Technology, which was on the cusp of the storm, was unmoved at all. Except for the subsidiary Xingchen Entertainment, it took advantage of this incident to create a wave of presence, not to mention monopolizing the live broadcast resources, and sold the live broadcast advertisements for ten times. The sky-high price of 200 million shows the true nature of the little guys as profiteers.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, across the distant Pacific Ocean, the East and the West officially fought.

Due to the short preparation time, the conferences of both parties were not large in scale, but they attracted the attention of technology enthusiasts almost all over the world.

Due to the time difference, Star Technology's press conference was held in the evening, while Micron Group held it in the morning in North American time.

From the very beginning, Mr. Adams, the president of Micron Group, acted aggressively. He first resorted to the big killer of 3D XPOINT. This new generation of flash memory chip has at least five times the speed and capacity of the previous one. The improvement, especially the super 3D XPOINT hard drive with a capacity of up to 512TB, has made the eyes of technology enthusiasts brighten up, thinking that this thing must be able to hold a lot of small movies.

It's a pity that the price is too high. A high-performance solid-state drive of 12,000 US dollars is mainly used for banking, insurance, and all fields that require high data security.

Of course, 3D XPOINT is a new generation of flash memory jointly developed by Micron and Oak Ridge Labs. There are still many versions. In addition to bank-level and enterprise-level, there are also new products developed for individual users. At $49, it can be regarded as officially bringing personal solid-state drives into the era of terabytes.

"As expected of the Micron Group, all computer products in the future will be equipped with hard drives with a capacity of at least 1TB. This will be a brand new era!"

"Not only that, not only has the capacity increased, but the speed is five times faster than before."

"$49 for a 1TB solid-state drive? Micron probably didn't intend to make money this time. This price is purely aimed at smashing the Xingchen Technology field."

"What should I do? I really want it. After all, the equivalent of RMB is only more than three hundred yuan. Even Xingchen Technology probably won't launch a product with a lower price than this."

"What's the hurry, Xingchen Technology hasn't made a move yet, wait and see."

There was a lot of discussion among the people eating melons, especially those in the West. Under Adams' cool demonstration and introduction, the people went on a collective carnival.

If nothing else, Micron Group's 3D XPOINT technology can leave a strong mark in history. It has been more than ten years since the launch of solid-state drives. Previous products were either expensive or had insufficient capacity. Otherwise, the read and write life is defective.

3D XPOINT is the first near-perfect solid-state hard drive product, which perfectly balances the gap between performance and price, and puts the final conclusion on the ancient mechanical hard drive.

According to Bloomberg news, just after the launch of 3D XPOINT, the world's three major mechanical hard disk manufacturers, Seagate, Western Digital, and Toshiba, all saw sharp declines in their stocks. After decades in the storage field, mechanical hard drives are finally coming to an end, and the future belongs to Micron's 3D XPOINT technology.

Standing under the stage, Chairman Houllier of the Semiconductor Alliance showed a smug smile, and asked Professor Jerryn beside him, "How is the situation in Huaxia?"

Jerry shrugged, "As expected, they are releasing memory and flash memory that are compatible with older models of computers. The product itself is not particularly bright, but the key is the advanced manufacturing process. Their solid-state hard disk products can reach up to 128TB."

Houllier was taken aback, "What? Star Technology can also make 128TB large-capacity solid-state drives? Damn, I really underestimated those yellow-skinned monkeys! They are quite powerful."

President's special envoy Mitterrand wrinkled his nose and said with disdain: "Although the capacity is the same, the technology is far behind."

Houlier thought about it, and felt that it was true, 3D XPOINT technology is indeed a more advanced existence.

But for some reason, technology enthusiasts have a strange impression, as if Xingchen Technology is dealing with official business, and lightly took out high-capacity memory and flash memory, telling everyone that if the old computer is still running, these parts can be used, listen to me Jia spoke in a tone of voice, as if he didn't take such an important storage product seriously.

Woo la la ~

The moment Houllier lowered his head to think, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause. The reporters and audience present all stood up from their seats, their eyes sparkled with excitement, and they shouted the famous slogan, God bless America.

Houllier hurriedly looked up, and saw that on the stage, Adams had already taken out the seventh-generation DDR product, and the sudden burst of applause and cheers was caused by this.

Ordinary consumers may not be able to figure out the difference between several generations of DDR. In fact, there is no revolutionary difference between them, but the higher the generation, the faster the speed, and the more difficult the corresponding research and development work.

To be honest, Micron Group is not releasing the seventh-generation DDR at this moment, but the sixth-generation, but the name of the sixth-generation DDR is occupied by the GDDR of the graphics card manufacturer, and GDDR is actually not the same thing as DDR.

In desperation, the memory had to go directly from the fifth generation of DDR to the seventh generation of DDR.

"Our Micron Group's seventh-generation super DDR has a maximum clock frequency of 10666MHz!" Adams shouted excitedly, holding a memory stick above his head.

As soon as his words fell, the scene was completely blown up, and the technology enthusiasts all over the world were also completely blown up. After all, the frequency is the most important criterion for measuring memory performance. Micron's seventh-generation DDR is obviously not a good one. It is a truly powerful black technology.

"I'm going, the clock frequency has exceeded 10,000!"

"Such a fast memory? I didn't expect Micron's technology to be so awesome. You must know that the current mainstream memory frequency is only about 3000, and Micron has directly increased it by three times!"

"Micron Micron, the light of North America!"

"Hahahaha, 7th generation DDR plus 3D XPOINT SSD, Micron is awesome! Now the pressure is all on Xingchen Technology."

"Over at Huaxia, Luo Jia is still talking about their fourth-generation DDR. I think Xingchen Technology is going to kneel this time!"
