Compared to previous business conversations, his authority this time was surprisingly large.

If he can obtain the carbon-based chip preparation technology, the headquarters will even allow him to use Qualcomm's core and countless mobile phone manufacturer Mingmen's "baseband technology" as a condition of exchange.

However, in the conference room just now, as soon as he tentatively proposed this idea, he was directly rejected by the gentle-looking man wearing glasses across from him.

The other party's simple words left him speechless.

In the era of carbon-based chips, what technologies do you have that you can use?

In the era of silicon-based semiconductors, the chip technology they were proud of and the patent barriers built around silicon-based chips were simply not worth mentioning in the face of the wheel of the times.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Let alone Qualcomm, even in the United States, it is almost impossible to find an important technology that can be compared with carbon-based chip preparation technology.

energy?

China is the first country to master controllable nuclear fusion technology. Their electric energy and high-voltage power grid not only radiate to the entire Southeast Asian peninsula. Even the United States now has to beg them to help build fusion power stations.

chip?

China has achieved a leapfrog breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology, and their advanced technology in the field of silicon-based chips has now lost most of its value.

Perhaps the most advanced UV lithography machines still have a certain value, but at the product launch, the president of SMIC also showed them the technology that can completely bypass the lithography machine for engraving and processing chips.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in the United States, there is no technology that can trade carbon-based chip technology on an equal footing.

After all, the four words "carbon-based chip" represent a new era.

If Qualcomm wants to survive, its only option is to put down its status and stand from the perspective of mid-stream and downstream companies to help spread carbon-based chips around the world.

Perhaps only by doing this can we gain some support from the Chinese people.

However, this kind of decision is simply not something he, a vice president, can make.

More importantly, when he came out of the headquarters of Xinghai Research Institute, he also saw people from Intel and AMD.

There is no doubt that this is an organized and arranged exchange meeting in China.

Xinghai Research Institute, which has mastered carbon-based chip technology, overlooks the entire silicon-based semiconductor industry from a high position.

Even if Qualcomm wants to put down its status and cooperate from a mid- to downstream perspective, it will probably have to compete with other peers for this opportunity.

Even they may not be able to get this opportunity that they originally looked down on.

For William Thompson, this was definitely the most desperate day in his nearly two decades at Qualcomm.
