Chapter 1783 smashing the pot
A certain island in the southeast, Hsinchu.
The semiconductor industry here can be called the engine of the island's economy. When the economic takeoff of a certain island became the "Four Asian Little Dragons", the driving force comes from this. However, decades have passed, and the only highlight on the island is still here, but the other side of the strait has really turned upside down.
At this moment, a review meeting is being held in a company that is "the world's number one in wafer foundry". The host of the meeting held a light pen and pointed to the projected ppt on the wall, saying, "We organized people and analyzed several samples purchased from the mainland overnight. The situation was very bad."
On the projected ppt, there is a chip picture with the shell disassembled. The high-power electron microscope takes many details on the wafer. Those who can attend the meeting are all industry insiders. When they see the dense and complex lines on the pictures, they all show the solemnity of facing a great enemy.
"Radiation Electronics has released the 'Radiation 1' series of products they produce, including not only extremely high-end servers and large-scale mobile chips, but also personal digital products for ordinary households. Now we see this chip, which is specifically aimed at competitors of Intel's mainstream consumer products."
The light pen held by the conference host kept shaking, and the light spots were shaking randomly. A bunch of people in the conference room exclaimed noisy in front of the pictures. Someone asked suspiciously: "How can this radiating electron in mainland China develop a three-nanometer process?"
This problem has been rising repeatedly in the brains of countless people. It is said that the mainland can currently handle the yield of 28 nanometers, and it is good to go to 14 nanometers. But suddenly a 3-nanometer process technology is running out, which is too amazing.
The smaller the process process, the higher the difficulty, and more transistors, more computing cores, higher frequency, and faster processing capabilities can be arranged on wafers per unit area. This technology is still being prepared to be used by a large manufacturer in a certain island, but has not yet used this level of process.
For a long time, in order to maintain the technological generation gap in the mainland, a certain island has restricted the transfer of advanced technology. They even continue to form industrial alliances with Japan and South Korea, and are trying to suppress the mainland - they are clamoring to maintain the status quo, just to make money and look down on you.
But now that the mainland has first developed a 3-nanometer technology, the situation is different. The conference host continued: "We have contacted Intel, and they are also very concerned about this matter.
According to our analysis, the technology source of Radiation Electronics used on consumer-grade chips is Yingshang Amd Company. Amd Company has just announced to the public that it has indeed authorized a large number of consumer-grade chip patents to Radiation Electronics."
This caused an uproar in the conference room, and someone asked loudly: "Why should the amd company do this? Do they don't want the current consumer-grade chip market?"
Radiation Electronics enters the server and mainframe market by purchasing relevant patents from ibm. It also needs to have a license in the consumer-grade personal computer market, otherwise selling chips will violate other people's patent rights. If it is not a breakup, the basic business rules must still be followed.
The conference host continued: "The specific agreement between Radiation Electronics and Amd is not known to outsiders, but there are reports that they used billions of dollars and a large number of advanced patented technologies to deal with Amd. The chips they have developed are obviously ahead of their heads."
After saying this, everyone understands it. Amd and Intel have been fighting in the personal computer market for many years. Amd has been suppressed by Intel, and its market share is far inferior to the latter. It is difficult for life. Now it is obvious that it has collected money to send radiation electronics. This hungry wolf came in to disrupt the situation.
"Intel is in trouble."
"We're in trouble."
"What is radiated electrons doing? It wants to grab the market, why does it need to release a 3-nanometer process in one go? This time, it jumps from 14 to 10 to 7 to 5, and it is directly 3 nanometers, crossing the third and fourth generation technology gap in the middle, forcing us to a cliff at once."
"The land on the other side has money. People can spend tens of billions and tens of billions of special funds at any time. Can we fight?"
From technology to money, the elites in the conference room suddenly had no temper. They were originally a little technically confident, and felt that they would not be easily caught up by their opponents no matter what, but now they discovered that the opponent was just catching up with them. What can you do?
When it comes to money, it is even more temperless. The fouls on the island are discussing that 426 on the other side of the shore cannot afford to eat tea eggs, but the elites know how rich the land on the other side of the strait is - the best cities on a certain island look like the urban-rural fringe of the mainland.
The semiconductor industry is competing for capital and technology. Now it can’t compete with both, and it’s a terrible thing!
"Don't panic, be calm." The boss of the company spoke in the conference room. "Can it be more difficult than when we started a business? Isn't it just that there is an extra competitor with superb skills? We are also preparing to start a 3-nanometer process at Yingshang's home."
As soon as the boss spoke, everyone could only settle down. The next issue was naturally how to deal with it - to speed up the construction of a new factory in Yingshangjia, update their own technical level, and improve their competitiveness.
It's just these things.
"Also, we should join forces with Intel. They should also face the competition of radiation electronics, so they will definitely not be happy." The company's boss was calm and calm, "Intel shouldn't cooperate with radiation electronics, right?"
"No, no." The meeting host shook his head quickly, "Radizontal Electronics originally wanted to spend money to purchase Intel's related patents on the x86 architecture, but Intel flatly refused. Now Intel is trying to sue this Radizontal Electronics because there are still many handles in the details of the patent."
When I heard that Intel, the leader in the industry, was still ahead and would rather die than surrender, the atmosphere in the conference room was suddenly much more relaxed. The company boss even said happily: "Look, we still have friends. We can also win over Samsung from Nanbaung and Toshiba from foot basin,..."
Listening to the boss Barabala’s speech, the conference room became much more cheerful. Even the meeting host laughed, calm as if he had found a backbone. But the boss’s speech could not stop, and everyone felt heavy when they stopped - the smile on his face could not cover the pain in his heart.
It’s obvious that you can easily make money by spreading your legs, but now you can only make money by relying on it haha.
Uh..., not right!
It is obvious that you can easily make money by accumulating technology, but now you have to chase it to death. No matter how you look at it, it is not a victory? Today, the mainland can create 3 nanometers, but what will they create tomorrow? The speed of catching up and surpassing is too scary.
Just as a group of people were trying to calm themselves down, someone suddenly broke in outside the conference room and shouted, "Chairman, it's not good. That radiation electron is going crazy."
"So what's wrong?" Everyone was shocked.
The '3-nanometer' thing is already a headache, so what kind of disaster will happen? Everyone is in a heavy mood now, so don't mess around, right?
The visitor continued: "Radio Electronics announced that it will open its own technology patent library to mainland semiconductor companies for free to seek common development. Their expression hopes to introduce more social funds to develop a better future."
Damn it!
What a ghost!
This will make the future dim.
