“I know you, you’re the director of Alone in the Moon ,” Aurora Baranov exclaimed.

"You speak Chinese really well." Changsun Xiaoxiao said in surprise.

She didn't expect that Aurora Baranov could speak such fluent and standard Chinese.

"I am not only proficient in Chinese, I am also proficient in five other languages: American, Japanese, German, French and Korean." Aurora Baranov said with a smile.

"Great." Changsun Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up in praise.

For some unknown reason, the two girls started chatting for some reason. As they were chatting, they left Han Chen's office together, leaving Han Chen, who looked confused, in the office.

September 2015, 8, China time.

Just last night, Intel announced that it would begin to undertake external 9nm chip foundry business starting September 1st.

Deep Blue Wafer Factory will soon start manufacturing chips for semiconductor companies around the world. At that time, even they will have to look to Deep Blue Group to manufacture chips for them. Intel's production lines will then be idle. Taking over chip manufacturing can effectively avoid the wafer factory's losses.

As Intel joined the foundry ranks, the price of chip foundry also dropped a lot. Just half an hour ago, TSMC and Samsung announced an 8% reduction in foundry fees.

Micron held a new product launch event at the Hotel Terre-de-France in Boise.

Inside the venue, the lights are bright, like stars, casting a mysterious and noble veil over this technological event.

Reporters moved among the crowd, holding notebooks and recorders in their hands, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity.

In the center of the stage, a huge LED screen is playing a preview video in a loop, showing a glimpse of the new product through the interweaving of light and shadow.

The venue is decorated in a simple yet futuristic style. The metallic decorations and streamlined furniture complement each other, reflecting the Micron brand's concept of giving equal importance to design and functionality.

As the time for the press conference approached, a slight noise began to surge among the crowd.

Reporters were either whispering to each other about possible new product features, or seizing the last moment to exchange business cards with colleagues and plan news materials.

Micron's public relations manager was making final preparations in front of the stage. She looked focused and serious, as if every breath she took was a countdown to the important moment that was about to come.

The reporters in the audience raised their cameras from time to time, trying to capture any clues. There was tension and excitement on their faces, because they knew that every press conference of Micron would become the focus of the industry.

Suddenly, the lights in the conference hall dimmed. After a moment of silence, the spotlight shone on the stage, and the figure of Micron's CEO appeared in the beam.

Sanjay Mehrotra, an Indian of Asian descent, dressed in a well-tailored suit, extended a warm welcome to the journalists with a smile on his face, while the journalists in the audience quickly pressed the shutter of their cameras to record this historic moment.

"I'm glad that everyone can come to Micron Technology's new product launch conference. For a long time, we have been suppressed by Deep Blue, and the decline in sales almost put Micron Technology on the verge of bankruptcy.

Just last August, our engineers developed DDR8pro, which enabled Micron to survive the bankruptcy and liquidation crisis.

A year later, our engineers developed DDR4ultra memory based on DDR4pro memory.

这一次我们将会推出14纳米的DDR4ultra和LPDDR4ultra内存，这两种内存使用的都是14纳米工艺，采用全新的DDR4-SDRAM存储器模块。

This also means that its initial data transfer rate starts at 4200MT/s and the upper limit reaches 7200MT/s2.

相对比上一代DDR4pro内存DDR4ultra的功耗下降了70%，功耗DDR4pro的1.8V直接下降到现在的1V，DDR4ultra的性能更是远超穷奇内存35%。

DDR4ultra far exceeds DeepBlue Group's Qiongqi memory in terms of performance and power consumption.

I believe everyone should know what DDR4ultra means. It means that Deep Blue Group is not invincible. Micron Group can defeat Deep Blue Group. I believe that other companies in our America can also surpass Deep Blue.

The emergence of DDR4ultra will be the beginning of the return of the American semiconductor industry to its peak.”

When Sanjay Mehrotra introduced this, a comparison table appeared on the big screen behind him.

On the left side of the comparison table is their DDR4ultra memory, and on the right side is Deep Blue Group's Qiongqi memory. Judging from the parameters, DDR4ultra is indeed far superior to Deep Blue's Qiongqi memory.

"As expected of a veteran memory manufacturer, it has finally surpassed Deep Blue in performance."

"I personally think that this surpassing is only temporary. Who knows if Deep Blue Group has achieved any breakthrough in technology."

"No matter what, we have been frustrated for so long. Finally, a company has surpassed Deep Blue."

"I advise you not to be too happy too soon. You should wait until Deep Blue holds its press conference in October."

"How did you know that Deep Blue would hold a press conference in October? Did you receive any inside information?"

“虽然说深蓝集团要到9月份才对外承接7纳米和5纳米芯片的代工，有没有可能深蓝早就已经实现7纳米和5纳米的量产了。

The reason why Deep Blue waited until September to accept orders is that Deep Blue wanted to meet its own needs first, and then it would do OEM for other companies. "

"Not to mention that it is theoretically possible. Maybe Deep Blue will really hold a press conference in October."

Although Micron's DDR4ultra memory launch conference is still underway.

However, Micron's stock price has risen by 78%, which is the largest increase in Micron's history. Institutions that bought the bottom of Micron's stock are cheering, and they can be said to have made a lot of money in this wave.

at the same time.

The Nasdaq semiconductor sector also soared under the leadership of Micron.

In the eyes of capital, Micron can surpass Deep Blue Group, which means that other companies can also surpass Deep Blue. Micron has given the entire semiconductor industry hope.

Some American netizens also cheered after learning about DDR4ultra.

Because this is the first time that a company has surpassed Deep Blue Group, and they have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The scene of Micron's new product launch at the Unreliable Hotel in Boise.

"I believe everyone is most concerned about the price of DDR4ultra. The price of DDR4ultra is the same as Deep Blue's Qiongqi memory, which means that everyone can buy better memory at the same price. The specific price of DDR4ultra involves the company's commercial secrets.

I'm sorry I can't explain it in detail here. If you need it, please contact our business department.

Next is our live question session. Friends who have questions can raise their hands now. "Sanjay Mehrot said with a smile.

After hearing Sanjay Mehrot's words, the reporters present also raised their hands.

However, Sanjay Mehrot also symbolically selected some of their internal reporters to answer questions.

September 2015, 8, China time.

Han Chen had just arrived at the company not long ago when Guo Kezun came to visit him.

"Mr. Guo, how come you have time to come to my place?" Han Chen asked with a smile.

"Mr. Han, Micron launched DDR4ultra last night. The performance of DDR4ultra exceeds that of Qiongqi 800Mhz memory. Their price is the same as our Qiongqi 800Mhz. I plan to completely stop the production of Qiongqi 800Mhz memory. In addition, I plan to launch two types of Qiongqi memory, 1200Mhz and 1400Mhz. I plan to sell these two types of memory to domestic friendly companies first. After these two types of memory are thoroughly exposed, we will sell these two types of memory to the outside world, so I came here to ask for your opinion." Guo Kezun said.

In fact, before this, Han Chen had sent a message to Guo Kezun asking her to stop producing the Qiongqi 800Mhz memory.

However, Guo Kezun felt that there was no need for this for the time being, so the 800Mhz memory of Qiongqi has survived until now.

"Mr. Guo, let's do this according to your wishes." Han Chen said.

"Then I'll go and take care of my own thing first." Guo Kezun said with a smile.

April 2015, 8, US time.

Micron's headquarters in Boise, Idaho, USA.

It has been 4 days since Micron released DDR9ultra, but the sales of DDR4ultra do not seem to be very satisfactory, and Sanjay Mehrot has also discovered a very serious problem.

The problem is that except for Dami Technology and Lenovo, other electronic product companies in China have not placed orders with them.

Does the mobile phone chip not support DDR4ultra?
No.

Micron has already discussed DDR4ultra with major chip manufacturers and licensed the DDR4ultra memory controller for free.

Whether it is Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm or MediaTek, the next generation of chips will support DDR4ultra.

Sanjay Mehrot picked up the landline phone and made a call.

His fingers gently dialed the phone number, and every stroke carried the weight of thought. The moment the call was connected, the sound of electric current rang in his ears.

After a while, a white man in his forties pushed open the office door and walked in.

"Boss, you called me." Dimitru Tovani said after sitting down.

"What's going on in China? Why are there only two companies purchasing DDR2ultra?" asked Sanjay Mehrot.

"The Chinese companies said they still need to think about it," Dimitru Tovani replied.

"Did Deep Blue reduce the price?" Sanjay Mehrot asked again.

"According to the information I received, Deep Blue's memory has not been reduced in price." Dimitru Tovani shook his head.

"So strange?" Sanjay Mehrot frowned.

"Yes." Dimitru Tovani nodded.

"Let the people in China collect as much information as possible and tell me as soon as there is any news." Sanjay Mehrot said.

"Okay, boss." Dimitru Tovani nodded.

September 2015, 8, China time.

Today marks the first anniversary of the death of Lee Kun-hee, chairman of South Korea's Sanxing Group.

The battle for the property of Sanxing Group also ended three days ago. Lee Jae-yong obtained the inheritance rights of Sanxing Group and became the actual controller of Sanxing Group.

Shanxing held a new product launch conference at 10 a.m., launching its 48-layer 3D V-NAND flash memory technology, which enables Shanxing's storage chip capacity to reach 256Gb per chip.

Shanxing has released two types of memory, one is ordinary NAND flash memory, and the other is USF3.0 memory.

The maximum read speed of USF3.0 memory is 2666MB/s, and the maximum write speed is 1801.1MB/s.

Although Sanxing's USF3.0 memory cannot be compared with Taoji memory, it has no problem being used as a substitute for Taoji memory, and it is very popular when used in mid- and low-end products.

Because USF3.0 is much inferior to Taoji memory in terms of performance and lifespan, Shanxing's pricing is also much cheaper than Taoji.

Guo Kezun did not make any response strategy after receiving the news. USF3.0 only replaced the original NAND flash memory. It is impossible for Deep Blue to lower its status to compete with them for the market.

The President's Office of Shenlan Group in Shenlan Industrial Park.

At this moment, Han Chen was playing with the new generation deep blue mobile phone given to him by Tan Tai Lingling.

The new generation of Deep Blue mobile phone adds a Deep Blue Ultra based on the Deep Blue MAX. The Deep Blue Ultra can be said to be the flagship model of the new generation of Deep Blue mobile phone. The Deep Blue Ultra is also the only mobile phone that uses 5 nanometers.

The 5nm Luban chip used by Deep Blue Ultra is so powerful that even Han Chen was shocked by it.

You should know that the 5nm Luban chip used in Deep Blue Ultra is still a low-end version. The performance of this low-end version of Luban chip is 4 times that of Deep Blue 3.8.

Compared with this chip, Deep Blue 4 is equivalent to the Pentium 4 of that year, and the 5nm Luban chip is equivalent to Intel's Core i7. The performance of the two is incomparable.

According to Guo Kezun, this chip is only their first generation product. With the iteration of technology, without updating the process, the performance of the same 5-nanometer chip can be improved by about 3-5 times on the original basis.

The smoothness of DeepBlue Ultra cannot be compared with the later Fruit M2 chip or the third-generation Snapdragon 8.

In terms of GPU, they use their latest developed Kongxuan MB300 core, which is 300 times better than Kongxuan MB200.

If it weren't for controlling the power consumption of the chip, the performance of Kongxuan MB300 could be greatly improved.

"The cost of this item is 3200, so it must be sold for at least 1." Han Chen muttered to himself.

Although Han Chen spoke very quietly, Tan Tai Lingling, who was sitting opposite him, still heard what Han Chen said.

You open your mouth and ask for a price of at least 1 yuan, which is already a 2 times premium. If other manufacturers knew about this, they would be furious.

Other manufacturers only make a few hundred yuan from selling a mobile phone, but you make 9000 yuan from selling a mobile phone and you still think it is not enough.

Of course, only Deep Blue Group can achieve such a low cost. If calculated according to the market price, it would cost at least 4800 yuan.

After putting down his phone, Han Chen checked the thin and light notebook next to him. The 13.4-inch notebook weighed only 0.88 kilograms and was only 9.8mm thick.

The reason why this notebook can be so thin is thanks to the 5-nanometer Luban chip. The 5-nanometer chip generates extremely low heat. Even when fully loaded, the temperature of the whole machine is only 58 degrees.

However, this chip is not the same as Deep Blue Ultra. The performance of this chip is much higher than Deep Blue Ultra, and the core architecture used by the two CPUs is also different.

Then Han Chen checked other products one by one, and Han Chen was also very satisfied with them.

"I have to say, Manager Tan Tai, your industrial design capabilities are really getting stronger and stronger. This product is the most satisfying I've ever had in all these years." Han Chen praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Han." Tan Tai Lingling said with a smile.

"The model has been finalized and no further changes are needed," said Han Chen.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Tantai Lingling replied. (End of chapter)
