"In the field of low-end chips, at least in terms of chip research and development below the 28-nanometer process, they have a fairly complete industrial chain."

"If we take the 28-nanometer chip process research and development as the limit, I'm afraid the time left for us is only about two years at most."

"If China mobilizes resources to complete the research and development of carbon-based chips, then this time may be shortened by at least half."

Two years, shortened by half.

Hearing this answer, Intel's president couldn't help but throw his head in the face.

Now that the core problem of carbon-based chips, the high-density integrated carbon nanotube array, has been solved, whether China will concentrate its domestic production resources to cooperate in the research and development of carbon-based chips is a question that can be answered with just one's toes.

According to Jim Keller's speculation, the longest time left for them is only one year.

One year is enough to do something?

There was silence in the conference room. At this moment, Michelle Johnston, the head of the business unit and vice president of Intel, who was sitting opposite, suddenly spoke in a low tone.

"Maybe... the situation is worse than we currently think."

After hearing this, everyone looked over. The expression on the face of this vice president with 25 years of experience in Intel was not very good-looking.

She said in a low tone and with some frustration: "According to the information we have obtained before, more than a year ago, Warwick was no longer satisfied with chip design and began to get involved in the upstream of the industry chain."

"And in 2024, China has also specially developed the third largest semiconductor industry chain after controllable nuclear fusion and aerospace industry."

"At the beginning, we all thought that this third largest semiconductor industry chain was aimed at the development of silicon-based chips and silicon-based semiconductors."

"After all, the mature semiconductor industry currently on the market only has silicon-based materials."

"But now when I look back and think about it carefully, maybe the third largest semiconductor industry chain they opened last year was to prepare for carbon-based chips."

"Perhaps they had already made a breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology earlier, but they have only made it public now."

After hearing Michelle Johns' analysis, the conference room fell into a state of panic.

If there is still a year left for them, even though it is short, Intel can still find ways to solve and overcome this difficulty.

But if China has now developed a carbon-based chip with commercial value, then the only possibility they face is a complete defeat.
