Americans emphasize "democracy" and "equality" the most.
Although the democracy here is actually the meaning of voting.
The Semiconductor Association accepted a proposal from Micron to permanently exclude carbon crystal memory from the PC industry chain.
This decision requires a vote.
However, in the eyes of many people, this is just a formality, because at present, carbon crystal memory has been excluded from the PC industry dominated by the United States.
However, this decision is very important, which shows the attitude of the Semiconductor Association and has a guiding role for the entire industry.
? At the conference, of course, Missili denounced the carbon crystal memory. The words he used were nothing more than endangering the safety of users, threatening the semiconductor industry chain in the United States, and so on.
Missili said: "Now, please vote on behalf of the participants, whether to agree with Micron's proposal to exclude carbon crystal memory from the supply chain of the PC industry."
Voting is a differential vote based on industry weights. If the entire industry votes more than half, the agreement will be passed.
For example, if there are five member units in the memory industry, each vote only accounts for 20. If there are three member units voting, the memory industry resolution is passed.
The Semiconductor Association has multiple industries such as memory and chips, and requires more than half of all industries to vote.
Logically speaking, the approval of the vote must be a certainty. It is in the interests of everyone present to prevent Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory from entering the PC semiconductor industry.
Therefore, in the face of this vote, companies such as Micron, Seagate, and Kingston are all very optimistic.
Misiri thinks so too.
The most important thing for the Semiconductor Association is not this vote, but to find a way to make Changtian Technology completely withdraw from the competition in the memory industry.
Missili stood on the podium in the conference room and said: "We will start voting now."
The conference room of the Semiconductor Association is very large, and the voting table is like the big round table of the United Nations.
The first to vote is the memory industry.
Of course it was unanimously approved.
Enterprises such as Micron and Kingston hope that the Semiconductor Association can take measures as soon as possible to prohibit the use of carbon crystal memory in the PC industry.
This kind of prohibition is an all-round prohibition, not just on the new generation of motherboards.
Immediately followed by the motherboard industry.
Also, all representatives passed unanimously.
Compared with chips and memory, the technical content of motherboards is not high, so most companies are located in Wanwan and South Korea, and there are not many local companies in the United States.
After several rounds of voting, the proposal proposed by Micron was unanimously passed.
Finally, it is the turn of the chip industry.
There are many chip companies in the United States, but only a few companies such as Intel, amd, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments have the real right to speak.
Voting by show of hands has begun.
Intel raised its hand in agreement.
After all, the situation in the PC market at this stage is the most beneficial to Intel.
The new generation of supervisors all support the Pentium 4 processor, which has left amd far behind.
Although Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and other companies are engaged in the production of chips, most of these chips are used in the industrial and communication fields, and their share in the PC industry is very small.
The people in Missili focused their attention on amd, and representatives of amd voted against it.
At this moment, the audience exclaimed.
Everyone did not expect that amd was actually on the side of Changtian Technology.
However, everyone thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that amd's negative vote was understandable, and it had nothing to do with Changtian Technology. After all, there was a conflict of interest between amd and Intel.
The negative vote cast by amd cannot change the final result of the resolution, just express his attitude.
But what happened next shocked everyone.
Many chip companies belonging to the chip industry, such as Texas Instruments and Qualcomm, also voted against it.
In order to help Changtian Technology and protect its own interests, amd has spent a lot of effort lobbying these companies to stand on its side some time ago.
Chip companies have their own ideas.
The development of the PC industry in recent years has been very good. Of course, Intel has caught up with this wave of dividends and made a lot of profits.
Intel's report card has made many chip companies jealous.
Now we can work with amd to delay or stop Intel's development as much as possible, of course everyone is willing to help.
? Especially when Texas Instruments heard that Intel was going into enterprise and communications.After the chips in the field, it is firmly on the side of amd.
The seemingly harmonious Semiconductor Association finally exposed its internal problems.
Misili was surprised, he did not expect so many chip companies to support Changtian Technology!
He hurriedly said into the microphone: "Please take a good look at the voting instruments in your hands. The circle means agree, the x means disagree, and the triangle in the middle means abstain. I hope you don't vote wrongly."
A representative from Texas Instruments said: "We did not make a mistake, it was our decision."
"what's going on?!"
"This means that the agreement has been rejected!"
"Is there any interest relationship between Changtian Technology and them?"
Representatives of companies such as Micron and Kingston were extremely puzzled, and their faces turned black, which meant that the proposal was not passed.
It also means that the Semiconductor Association will not express any conclusive opinions on carbon crystal memory.
In other words, even if the relevant departments of the United States prohibit the sale of carbon crystal memory in the United States, this will not prevent the member units of the Semiconductor Association from cooperating with Changtian Technology.
It also means that PC products using carbon crystal memory can be sold to Europe, as well as to Japan, South Korea and other regions.
If carbon crystal memory is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the product can even be sold in the U.S. market.
While everyone was in a daze, the voting continued.
The final round is voted by the pc company.
PC companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Toshiba, and Samsung undoubtedly voted against it.
The size of Shenzhou is still small, but Toshiba and Samsung have seen the combat effectiveness of survival. If the memory is not banned at this time, Shenzhou will be even more difficult to deal with in the future than Lianxiang after raising Shenzhou.
Therefore, even though they knew that the final voting result could not be passed, these PC companies still voted for it.
The only negative vote came from Dell.
Dell's vote confused everyone even more.
"What the hell is going on?! Is there a cooperation between Changtian Technology and Dell?"
"Isn't Dell afraid of offending Intel and those motherboard companies by doing this?"
"In the round of the chip industry, the vote has actually been rejected. Dell can completely abstain or vote for it. What does he mean by voting against it?"
Dell's representative also heard everyone's discussion, and he said into the microphone: "We oppose this kind of proposal, and would like to ask you what is the original intention of the establishment of the Semiconductor Association?
?Dedicated to the development of the global semiconductor industry, absorbing and developing advanced science and technology. "
"Actually, we all know very well that Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory technology is one of the most advanced technologies in the semiconductor industry."
"But some companies, because it involves their own interests, so the team carbon memory strongly opposes it!"
"As one of the PC companies, Dell is very aware of the weight of carbon crystal memory. We hope that such advanced technological products can be accepted by the association and known by more consumers. This is what our association should do. matter."
After speaking, Dell's representative closed the microphone and left the meeting.
The whole conference room was noisy, and I was completely dumbfounded.
The words of the representative of Dell have actually clearly indicated that Dell and Changtian Technology have cooperated in carbon crystal memory.
Misiri's expression was very bad, he never expected that the final voting result would be like this!
This kind of voting result is unacceptable to Misili, and there is no way to explain it to the capital above.
Misiri said into the microphone: "The voting is over, and the meeting is adjourned!"
An angry Missili returned to the office, he packed his things and prepared to leave work.
At this time, Missi's assistant said: "Mr. Chairman, I think we should change the voting rules. We should not conduct differential voting by industry. Instead, all association units should vote together. As long as half of the votes are passed, it will be passed!"
Missi was in a very bad mood at this time, he turned his head and cursed: "fxxxx, bxxx!"
The assistant quickly shut up, knowing that he had run into Missi's trouble.
When Misiri came to the door of the office building, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed up and pointed their microphones and cameras at the chairman of the Semiconductor Association.
