Lao Huang's amazing knife successfully attracted Wang Anran's attention.

The core frequency is 300MHZ, 32-bit data bus, AGP4X interface, supports OpenGL3.0 3D API, supports Huaxin Technology GODSON graphics excuse, and is equipped with up to 32M with GRAMBUS 200 video memory.

With IBM's latest mass-produced 500nm manufacturing process, Huang frantically integrated 16 processing units into the modeling and rendering pipelines, with an additional co-processing unit added to each pipeline.

The announced test data surpasses the top ripper 109 graphics card of Huaxin Technology by 70%, you must know that the ripper 109 graphics card integrates two display chips.

The performance of the single core has surpassed twice that of Huaxin Technology's top 107 display core.

As soon as Nvdia TNT appeared, it swept the entire high-end graphics card market with an invincible momentum.

And the positioning of the price shows that Lao Huang is different from ordinary knife work.

From the lowest-end castration version with GDDR 2M video memory TNT1100 with a price tag of $99, to the highest-end $3,990 dual-core TNT1900 graphics card, there are a total of nine tiers, and there will always be something for everyone in every income level.

In contrast, the backwardness of the manufacturing process has become a hard wound of Huaxin Technology, and under the premise of congenital insufficiency, it is humiliating to compete with Lao Huang for knife work.

Wang Anran shook his head, he didn't expect that NVIDIA, a dead salted fish, could turn over, you must know that the famous 3dfx did not survive in the past, and now it has fallen into the situation of buying bankrupt.

Huaxin Technology is now in an embarrassing situation, TSMC's current mass production of 800 nanometers of manufacturing process is already its limit, and the 500 nanometer manufacturing process has not reached the conditions for mass production at all.

If it is forcibly launched, the high cost will only make Huaxin Technology's products lose their market competitiveness, cheapen TSMC in vain, and let it improve its own processing technology.

You must know that the relationship between the Taiwan Strait at this time is not very good, and there have been many official figures on the Bay Island, either explicitly or implicitly, asking TSMC to interrupt the agreement to OEM for Huaxin Technology.

Perhaps because of the high liquidated damages, or because the semiconductor environment at this time is not very good, TSMC urgently needs the foundry business to maintain the operation of its foundry.

The OEM cooperation between the two companies has not been affected.

But the clouds were shaving.

In the eyes of industry insiders in the semiconductor industry, Huaxin Technology is facing a huge crisis, and its two core businesses are being strongly crushed by competitors.

Performance is greatly surpassed.

The post of Gu Haoyu, a senior critic of Hong Kong Island Semiconductor, represents the voice of many people.

"The appearance of Huaxin Technology is undoubtedly amazing, and the semiconductor industry pays more attention to the accumulation of technology, and the heritage of Huaxin Technology is undoubtedly insufficient.

When the international chip giants represented by Intel stabilized in the initial panic, the end of Huaxin Technology was coming.

Facts will eventually prove that the appearance of Huaxin Technology is only a flash in the pan, and will eventually disappear in the long river of history......"

After Gu Haoyu posted the article, he took his new beautiful girl to Canada and lived a life without shame and impatience.

In his view, Hong Kong Island, which is about to return, has no future like the mainland's semiconductor industry.

Wang Anran threw the newspaper aside, and the newspaper looked down at Huaxin Technology, which made the old virgin feel very unhappy.

Rebus in front of him was also at a loss, suddenly taking control of such a large company, and it was a star enterprise of the country, the pressure of Rebus can be imagined.

Even if it was smooth sailing, Rebus did not dare to relax in the slightest.

But now, as soon as he became a man, Huaxin Technology is facing such a big crisis, and the two major fist products have encountered strong opponents.

Fortunately in terms of CPU, the upgraded version of the Athlon-generation processor is entering the pre-mass production preparations, and the performance results of the tape-out test show that compared with Intel's third-generation Pentium 586 processor, it even has a 7% performance advantage.

But on the graphics card, Huaxin Technology has been standing still for a long time, and the improved ripper generation graphics card with 800nm manufacturing process cannot benchmark NVIDIA's Nvida TNT series graphics cards at all.

"Mr. Wang, the feedback from the marketing department that our ripper display chip shipments have plummeted, and board manufacturers are afraid that hoarding will encounter our sudden price reduction, so they have been in a wait-and-see state, and most of the graphics cards sold on the market are the previous inventory of major board manufacturers. ”

Wang Anran looked at Rebus and said, "What do you think about it?"

"We will release the latest Athlon™ processor as soon as possible, send a team to negotiate with Texas Instruments, and ask them to help us OEM chips with 500nm manufacturing process, and at the same time, increase investment in follow-up product research and development. ”

Rebus said this with no bottom in his heart.

The reason made him very frustrated...... Huaxin Technology has run out of money.

The investment in the chip production line and in Zhang Dajing's SMIC has exhausted the foundation of Huaxin Technology, and not only that, but there will still be a lot of investment in the future.

It's a bottomless pit.

And in terms of revenue, the data is ugly.

For two consecutive months, the sales of Huaxin Technology's CPU and graphics cards have fallen at a cliff-like rate.

And Huaxin Technology sneezed, and Future Technology also got a serious cold.

The sales of high-performance workstations and graphics data processing centers have also been cut in half, and the financial data is shocking.

It's not bad, maybe only Aihua Technology, after all, for most people who eat melons, they are always sensitive to price, and the price of 5880 is also a good choice to get a computer that can play Counter-Strike.

But such data is far from enough for Wang Anran.

After formulating the follow-up project of the BISM mathematical model, Wang Anran had no choice but to return to the graphics card division of Huaxin Technology to preside over the research and development of new products.

Originally, the second-generation ripper graphics card was also based on the vertex rendering architecture, but with a richer experience on the 3D API interface, upgraded on the raster processing unit and texture bonding unit.

It turns out that the development of the entire semiconductor industry has deviated from its original track.

Huaxin Technology's original strategy of squeezing toothpaste is obviously going to a dead end, for Wang Anran, if he doesn't make a big move now, what awaits Huaxin Technology will be a harsher fact.

At the product demonstration meeting, Wang Anran vetoed the research and development of the Ripper 200 series graphics card.

Wang Anran's point of view is clear.

"In the case of a generation or half a generation behind the process, we must make the performance not weaker than our competitors, and in the case of the same process, I want to beat our competitors. The graphics cards of the Ripper 200 series obviously do not have such potential......"

Guo Huaisheng, director of the graphics card division, has an opinion on this, and no one wants his child who has worked hard for more than a year to die young.

"Mr. Wang, how can you guarantee that the next-generation graphics card can do what you said in terms of performance.

I thought that the Ripper 200 series graphics cards could be used as a pass, and we could find a suitable foundry to compete with Nvidia in the next generation of graphics cards. ”

Wang Anran shook his head, for him, this is a matter of principle, so Wang Anran's attitude is very tough.

"Huaxin Technology either doesn't do it, we want to do it, we only do it as a leader in the industry......"
