California, USA, Intel Integrated Electronics Corporation headquarters. The news from the New Orleans Convention Center was immediately sent back to the headquarters.
"Such technology has actually appeared!" Intel's executives were astonished after repeatedly confirming that the news was correct!
For fifty years, Intel has been controlling the core technology in the computer field, selling its microprocessors all over the world, and standing at the top of the industry!
However, today, Hongxin Group actually overtook them. There was still such a big gap. How could they not be surprised and scared
"It is reported that the IEEE Association and the world's TOP500 organizations are preparing to rank the quantum computer of the Red Letter Group as the world's top supercomputer!"
In Intel's remote network conference room, several important figures were discussing this matter through a secret network meeting.
"That ranking is of little use, it doesn't matter." A voice said.
"But the next commercial quantum computer standards must not be left to them!"
"Yeah!" Everyone agreed.
The American computer industry has been formulating relevant standards for computers around the world. This is an important means for them to obtain wealth from the world market, and it is also the cornerstone of the monopoly industry. Of course, they will not give it to the Red Letter Group!
"I'm afraid this is a bit tricky. Now that they have demonstrated their quantum computer, when voting, I am worried that many companies and institutions will vote for the Red Letter Group!" An old man, one of Intel's shareholders, expressed concern one.
"This situation is absolutely not allowed to happen!" Intel's current president said firmly.
If it were a normal vote, they would probably compete with IBM and Google. They are all American companies and their strength is not weak, so the voting results can be relatively fair.
But if the possible winner is the Red Letter Group, then the voting results will have to be manipulated again!
"Contact the Computer Society, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Information Security. They will definitely be even more uneasy."
Similar scenes are also happening in companies such as IBM and Google. Regarding the voting on quantum computer standards, they all have a tacit understanding that Hongxin Group must not be allowed to become the standard for the world's new superconducting quantum computers, otherwise these companies will fall. After getting off the altar, and already in the communications industry, we are faced with the fear of being dominated by red letters!
It has been two days since Hongxin demonstrated its superconducting quantum computer.
In the past two days, media around the world reported the news.
Especially in China, the front page news is this: "Hongxin Group has developed the world's first super quantum computer, with the fastest computing speed in the world!"
Netizens praised it one after another, and officials even immediately held a relevant meeting, expressing their intention to vigorously promote the development of China's high-tech industries and so on.
Of course, there are also many netizens who don’t understand what a quantum computer is.
At the New Orleans Convention Center, the Global Supercomputing Conference has been going on for four days and is about to begin voting on quantum computer standards.
"Each enterprise and institution only has one vote." Su Zhirong reported to Lu Zixinhui with the news she had just received.
"There are a total of 80 companies, universities or institutions with voting rights, of which the United States accounts for more than 40%. In China, only seven institutions including our Hongxin Group, Lianxiang Group, and China Computer Research Institute have voting rights. , and the others are from all over the world.”
"Well, then our minimum guarantee should be seven votes." Lu Zixin analyzed, "The rest will depend on other companies and institutions."
"If nothing else happens, our standards should be able to win the vote." Su Zhirong smiled slightly, "More than half of the institutions that have contacted us in the past few days have already contacted us!"
"I'm just afraid of an accident. This is the United States." Lu Zixin helped her lift her hair and whispered.
"Accident? Are they still playing tricks?" Su Zhirong frowned slightly, "This is a world-wide academic conference!"
"I don't know, let's wait for the result. Anyway, no matter what the result is, our technology and products have been produced, and it doesn't matter whether they recognize it or not." Lu Zixin is not very worried.
The core purpose of Hongxin Group's participation in the Global Supercomputing Conference is to allow peers around the world to showcase their technology. Now that the core purpose has been achieved, it can be considered a basic success.
…
On the fifth day of the conference, voting officially began.
At the venue, representatives from 80 companies, institutions and universities were already present. The IEEE Association and the American Computer Society were jointly responsible for the voting.
Lancelot, President of the IEEE Association, and Walter, President of the American Computer Society, gave brief speeches respectively.
Toran Bell, vice president of the IEEE Association, said: "Before the vote, we will once again introduce to you the quantum computer standards from seven research institutions around the world for your reference."
"The first is IBM International Business Machines Corporation..."
"Finally, there is the quantum computer standard set by the Hongxin Group. The current computing speed of the superconducting quantum computer demonstrated by the Hongxin Group is indeed amazing. If it can also be used in commercial quantum computers, I think it will be good news for the entire industry."
Tolan Bell's seemingly complimentary words reminded some members present. Yes, the theme of this vote is commercial quantum computers. What IBM and Intel are showing are preliminary commercial quantum computers. The one from Hongxin Group has no idea of its potential in terms of commercialization.
Then the voting begins, and each representative can only choose the criteria of one company.
For the sake of fairness, each representative's vote is displayed on a public screen and can be seen. From the beginning, Lu Zixin chose his own company without hesitation.
Like him, several institutions from China also voted for Hongxin Group, with seven votes obtained.
Lu Zixin looked at the electronic screen. Now, in addition to Hongxin Group, Intel, IBM and Google also received seven or eight votes.
All other standards received no votes, and everyone knew that the final result would be determined by the standards of these companies.
A minute passed and the vote count changed again.
Red Letter Group received 18 votes, Intel 17 votes, IBM 17 votes, Google 12 votes, and sixteen representatives are waiting to see.
Everyone is silent. The votes in their hands may determine the future of an industry!
Lu Zixin looked at them and saw that most of them were white-skinned. The remaining people were almost all representatives from scientific research institutions in the United States and Europe.
Three people chose to vote at the same time, Intel with two votes and Red Letter Group with one vote.
The representative of the Hongxin Group also smiled politely at Lu Zixin, and Lu Zixin responded with a kind smile.
"There are still thirteen representatives, please make your choice as soon as possible." The president of the American Computer Association said, "Choose a better standard!"
Walter's eyes glanced at several representatives, if there was any deep meaning.
