'Dragon Chip Industrialization Alliance' Founded
Academician Li Guojie, director of Institute of Computer Technology (ICT) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced recently in Beijing that the "Dragon Chip Industrialization Alliance" was founded. The alliance aims at industrialization of the "Dragon Chip" technology and first subsumes seven domestic enterprises and research institutes, such as ICT, Haier Group, Great Wall Computer Software and Systems Inc., Ltd. (Great Wall Software), China Soft Network Technology Co. Ltd., Redflag Software Co. Ltd., Shuguang Co. as well as BLX IC Design Co. Ltd.

The debut of "Dragon Chip" over a month ago turned over a leaf in Chinese history that there was "no chip" in China's server trade. However, it was heaped under questions and doubts: Currently, when foreign chip technologies hold almost all market shares, isn't the technological breakthrough of "dragon chip" just a fragile embryo in laboratories? Will the home-made CPU enter the market and mushroom an outstanding brand-name?

The "Dragon Chip Industrialization Alliance" emerged as required by the time. With the products covering the whole industrial chain, from CPU to mainboard, server to network computer and the micro-computer, and from router to switch, the "Dragon Chip" CPU will be widely applied to network terminal products including communications and digital home appliances.

As learned, network computers developed by Haier on the basis of "Dragon Chip" CPU has come to appear in schools and government departments in Beijing. In addition, the alliance has made a plan to recruit over 100 enterprises or research institutions next year, develop over 100 special-purpose products based on "Dragon Chip" and sell some 1 million computers in the next two years.
