If this is the result unanimously agreed upon by IEEE executives, the subsequent impact of this retraction will be a heavy blow to the reputation of IEEE in the field of electronics... and even in a series of covered fields including computers, electrical engineering, etc.
Even though IEEE quickly launched public relations and clarified the matter, it stated that "the withdrawal is a ruling made by the International Conference on Integrated Circuit Design and Technology Organizing Committee in accordance with U.S. law", "it is the personal behavior of the committee director", "temporarily withdrawn" "The manuscript is not permanently withdrawn", "There will be serious and thorough investigation into possible shady transactions behind it" and a series of reasons that are not only illogical but even make people want to laugh, are no longer helpful.
However, so far, let alone carbon-based chips, they have not found a good industrial synthesis method for SG materials. The superconducting magnets of the unfinished fusion power station in California rely on imported materials from China. Made of SG material.
In the 1+8+n strategy, only the 1+8 part is Warwick's core business, while the n part should be completed by other components of the entire ecosystem, so as to form a good ecosystem.
"Maybe we can talk to those Chinese people privately."
"...You want me to contact Warwick in private? This is a betrayal of the industry alliance."
After all, even if they are facing the most serious reputation crisis since the publication was founded, and their credibility and influence have both been frustrated, they are still far from the point of facing life and death.
"… I see."
Waqf finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned his back and walked towards the door, he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.
Everyone wants to know what they should do now.
Shocked by this terrifying aura, the secretary subconsciously closed her mouth, afraid to speak.
After Waqf finished speaking, the air in the company was quiet for a long time.
Seeing that Jacob did not respond to his question, Waqf already had the answer in his heart, so he was not in a hurry and just stood aside and waited quietly.
In fact, it may be a good idea to proactively research carbon-based chip technology.
In fact, that product launch not only demonstrated their strength, but also hinted this to the industry.
Qualcomm headquarters.
"Fake! What should we do now?"
However, judging from the current situation, the situation they are facing is almost unsolvable. In the face of innovative technologies such as carbon-based chips, the silicon-based chips in their hands are like a giant ship that may sink at any time. They are proud of the ecosystem they have built around silicon-based chips, and the ambitions they have already shown in Warwick It was also completely vulnerable in front of him.
"Are you crazy? Only if the Congress is out of their minds would they vote for this kind of proposal! Besides, whose interests are being harmed by doing this?"
Waqf paused for a moment and continued, "Of course I don't mean to surrender. It's just that it's such a big market that Warwick can't take it all. Even if they...even if they have the support of an entire country, it's impossible. If we really have a head-on confrontation, this will It’s a protracted battle, and maybe we will lose in the end and they won’t get much benefit.”
However, there are still those corners that they have not mentioned and have no time to take care of.
Chief engineer Derek Wakov, who had been leaning against the table with his arms crossed and thinking, suddenly said: "In fact, the impact of carbon-based chips on our business should be relatively minimal."
As chip technology is updated, communication technology will catch up sooner or later. When their chips are rolled out in all fields, everything he worries about will definitely happen.
Faced with the chairman's roar, there was a dead silence in the office.
Having already guessed what Waqf was going to say, Jacob's eyes flickered.
However, the difficulty in this is far from being as simple as this sentence makes it sound.
When people were surprised that carbon-based chips were real and that Professor Lu was not joking with them, they couldn't help but recall the paper that was withdrawn by IEEE some time ago.
…
"… you mean?"
It was not easy to make this difficult decision, but he didn't want to see half his life's hard work go to waste.
However, it is not easy to make this determination...
"Besides, I heard that that old fox Swann was at the press conference! Why did the entire semiconductor industry invite them alone? Is it just to compete with the industry giants? Or did you also receive the invitation, but you just didn't go?"
Withdrawing a correct paper from a top conference and discrediting it as academic fraud not only violates the principle of academic freedom, but is itself a manifestation of academic fraud.
Hearing the proposal made by his secretary, Jacob's nose almost became angry, and he shouted angrily with saliva flying everywhere.
Although it may take a lot of effort and price to adapt to their rules, if they don't do this and continue to cling to the dying tree of traditional carbon-based chips, they will be buried by the times sooner or later...
More than a dozen professors and scholars from many universities in China, such as Yanda University and Shuimu University, have announced their withdrawal from the IEEE organization and have strongly condemned this behavior that seriously violates the spirit of academic freedom.
Jacob frowned slightly, his expression seemed to have thought of something, but he was a little undecided, so he said in a deep voice.
At least according to the paper published by Professor Lu in "Future", this carbon-based chip uses a graphene material prefixed with the "SG" series, which is used in controllable fusion superconducting magnet coils. An improved version of that material exhibiting semiconductor properties.
Jacob wasn't the only one wondering.
Papers that have been removed cannot be re-uploaded.
He believed that what he could see, the chairman must also have seen.
As we all know, Qualcomm’s most profitable department is the legal department. They do not produce chips themselves. At least they don’t have to worry about how to eliminate those companies that will soon change like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC, which are engaged in R&D and production. Worthless backward production capacity.
Not to mention that they couldn't do such a thing as eating the vomited food back, there was no way Lu Zhou would agree to it...
The principle of trade is mutual benefit and win-win. A big tree cannot survive without branches and leaves, even if it is trying to show its strength and covers all the fields that everyone can think of.
"You misunderstood me," looking at the gloomy Jacob, Waqf paused and continued, "I mean, if carbon-based chips are really the future, then why should we resist him?"
However, for those semiconductor industry alliances who instructed them to remove the manuscript, they were truly pushed to the edge of the precipice of life and death.
Seeing Jacob kicking the ball to himself, Waqf sighed and continued.
After watching the video of the press conference, a group of senior executives were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They discussed for a long time but failed to come up with any good ideas.
"It will take them three years for Longteng chips to flourish throughout the downstream industry chain, but if you think about it differently, we still have three years to make business adjustments."
It was obviously not just domestic consumers who were stunned by this product launch.
In the chairman's office.
"Come on, my dear Mr. Jacobs, do you think our superficial allies can still hold back after watching that product launch? Even if our old friend Intel took out all their toothpaste at once, Even after squeezing, it is impossible to defeat our opponents. Rather than drowning in the same boat with them, it is better to make other plans early."
Obviously, the data in that paper were not exaggerated in any way, and could even be said to be quite conservative.
At the same time, the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also responded quickly and lowered the sectional rating of IEEE journals by one level for various reasons such as "academic corruption" and "low standards".
The live video has already been spread to every corner of the world with Internet access through the live broadcast channels of Warwick's official website and cooperative media platforms.
But so what
In fact, compared to those who instruct them to do these things, IEEE is lucky.
Although they don't want to admit this, the best choice for them to survive now is to give up this game that is heading towards the end and put the remaining chess pieces into the next chessboard as much as possible.
The alliance has collapsed.
Their patents in the communications field may last for a while, but what next
Their time has passed.
Even if everyone standing here believes that they will eventually master this technology, no one can give even an estimated date in their mind as to how long it will take.
Just then, the silence in the office was broken.
After a long silence, Jacob finally lowered his noble forehead and nodded lightly.
"...The only way now is to lobby Congress to legislate not to recognize their patents in the name of national security, and to ask our allies-"
As long as you can survive, it's all worth it.
Jacob said with a gloomy face: "I know this without you having to tell me."
For a moment, IEEE's position became awkward.
