Chapter 365 C-Series Processors
More than a year ago, Daqin Electronics Group was born, integrating half of China's top semiconductor industry and announcing a research and development plan for C-0.7, which made the outside world excited.
According to Daqin, the C-0.7 will be the most autonomous mobile processor in China at present, using a 14nm process, and the performance is comparable to Qualcomm's classic mid-range processor Snapdragon 625.
As we all know, the reason why Daqin named the first mobile processor with a decimal is intended to show that this is just an attempt.
As for why it is "0.7", Daqin Electronics itself did not come forward to explain, and there are more statements from the outside world.
For example, some people believe that Daqin Electronics' plan is to develop a total of three so-called attempts, the models are seven, eight or nine, and after the technology and market are mature, they will release integer models of mobile processors and march to desktop processors.
Although this statement is relatively normal and there are many people who recognize it, the most widely circulated and lively statement on the Internet is actually another:
It is said that this C-series mobile processor with the Snapdragon 625 as its imaginary enemy was originally named "C-0.625". However, many people in Daqin felt that the name was too long and explicit, so they rounded it up and changed it to "C-0.6...... Originally, it was going to pass, but someone proposed that 6 was smaller than 625, which meant bad, and finally changed it to the current 0.7.
There is also a more pitty saying, which is that when the naming person named the processor, he actually just casually looked at the pen in his hand, because the model of the refill was 0.7, and the processor was directly called so......
In addition, the most eye-catching, even sensational, is undoubtedly the news that Daqin Electronics claimed earlier that "domestic lithography machines have made leapfrog breakthroughs, and the production and manufacturing of C-series processors will be completed in China".
The backwardness of the design and manufacturing process of lithography machine has always been the biggest constraint in Huaxia's semiconductor industry.
If the lithography machine process can achieve a leap, it is natural that China's semiconductor industry will also usher in spring.
Originally, there were some people who were excited about this news, and there were also those who believed it, and many people in the Western world scoffed at it.
But then Daqin Electronics said that the lithography machine is an important opportunity for the establishment of Daqin Electronics, if there is no domestic high-end lithography machine, several semiconductor companies will not be so rapid and high-profile merger and reorganization.
When the news came out, of course, the Chinese people were greatly excited, and ASML, the lithography machine giant far away in Europe, panicked instantly.
For a long time, in order to suppress Huaxia's semiconductor industry, ASML has opened up a generation of Huaxia's lithography machine for every generation of research and development.
Imagine, some Chinese companies were waiting to buy domestic lithography machines, but as soon as the domestic lithography machines came out, ASML's was opened.
Although ASML is open to all old products, it can often outperform domestic products in all aspects, so the customers of domestic lithography machines are instantly dispersed, profits are reduced, R&D funds are reduced, and the next generation of lithography machines is postponed.
Now it's good that Daqin Electronics, which does not abide by the Basic Law, will come up and build a 14nm lithography machine, second only to 7nm and 10nm, which is higher than the tens or hundreds of nanometers before Huaxia.
The question faced by ASML is whether Huaxia should follow the opening of the 14nm lithography machine since Huaxia has released it.
If it's not open, there is no way to suppress Huaxia.
Let's open up, the 14nm level is too important, in case Daqin Electronics is a mouthful, in fact, it didn't make 14nm at all, this move is undoubtedly a blatant tearing up of the "Wassenaar Agreement", and the consequences are serious.
The key is that Daqin Electronics' attitude is indeed a little ambiguous, while swearing that it has a high-end lithography machine, you wait and see, and on the other hand, it never lets the lithography machine appear, which is as secretive as it is.
ASML saw that it was foggy, and in the end, for the sake of safety, it still didn't dare to release the 14nm lithography machine.
As a result, ASML's stock has been steady and declining for more than a year. Every time Daqin Electronics makes a big and small news and blows about the domestic lithography machine, ASML's stock has to fall in response.
In addition, the stocks of semiconductor companies such as Qualcomm, TSMC, and Samsung are also similar, and most of them are stable and falling.
Now Daqin Electronics Group has officially announced that the research and development of C-0.7 has been completed and has begun mass production in Huaxia, and the stocks of ASML, Qualcomm, TSMC and other companies are even more slammering.
This is not enough, as soon as the news of the processor was announced, Vientiane Information Technology Co., Ltd. also came out, saying that Vientiane's self-developed mobile phone operating system COS has been largely developed, and has reached cooperation with several major domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
Immediately afterwards, Rice, Huawei, and OV successively announced that they would launch a mobile phone equipped with C processor and C system in the near future, priced at more than 1,000 yuan.
Although this positioning is still relatively low-end, the emergence of C processors and C systems has caused a lot of shock around the world.
After all, the actions of many companies in China this time are quite a bit of a common advance, such as COS, which is not only an empty operating system.
The follow-up impact of the Vientiane Forest Plan has led Huaxia Enterprises to start a large-scale optimization of its own software. Including Tengxun, Alibaba, Baidu, etc., have launched highly optimized apps corresponding to COS.
These APPs are more streamlined and practical than ever, stable and efficient, so that the just-released COS instantly has a solid foundation, coupled with the support of mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei and rice, COS is definitely the most powerful new system ever.
This newbie is even so powerful that even Apple, the world's largest company, feels a little uneasy......
Daqin Electronics, Vientiane Information, Jinyu Technology, Huawei, Rice and many other enterprises also specially organized a "C Conference" to prepare for the grand and grand momentum to announce the birth of C systems and processors to the world.
Not only Ma Ling and other old star entrepreneurs attended in person, but Lin Han, chairman of Vientiane Group and director of Vientiane National Laboratory, who is known for his low-key and introverted background and profound background, also made an unusually high-profile appearance, attracting global attention and media gathering.
……
The Eighth Power Building was completed more than a month ago and stands in Qingnan City, becoming the tallest building in Yunzhou.
The 256-meter-high building, which has just been completed, ushered in a world-renowned conference, the C Conference.
Inside and outside the conference hall, the media, business representatives, and officials came and went, and it was lively. In addition to Chinese faces, there are also many black-skinned and white-skinned people, which is like an international-level event.
The spacious conference hall was brilliantly lit, and in the flashing of spotlights, a group of bigwigs, who occupied most of the Chinese science and technology circles, appeared one after another......
