For the general public, it is difficult for them to perceive the fierce war that is breaking out in the chip industry, and the people in this industry are at most hearsay.

Only those people and companies involved in this semiconductor war can feel the cruelty most intuitively.

With Yangtze River Storage as a chestnut, they will lose 5~10 yuan for every memory particle they sell.

For enterprises, this kind of shopping is simply using blood to make bullets out, constantly consuming each other, depending on who can't support it, only the one who persists to the end may become the ultimate winner.

However, among these companies, SMIC still has certain advantages, mainly because SMIC has mastered the highland of 12nm process.

This top-of-the-line process is an irresistible temptation for companies that need to process CPUs and GPUs.

……

"Mr. Yu, this is our production line, the current yield rate has increased to about 87%, and it is estimated that it can be increased to more than 95% by the end of the month." Zhao Jun hurriedly introduced.

In the dust-free workshop, the 12-nanometer chip production line is constantly producing storage chips for debugging equipment, although hundreds of thousands of material losses a day, but this kind of labor pain is the only way.

Yu Chengdong looked at the running production line, and he suddenly proposed: "If you take Kirin 800 to tape out now, can you speed up production?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Jun turned his head and discussed with Li Weiguang in a whisper, and Li Weiguang finally nodded:

"Mr. Yu, if you are willing to take the Kirin to be taped out at 800, we can strive to complete the tape-out in February and put it into mass production in March."

The reason why Huawei is in such a hurry to put into production is mainly because Sanxin Electronics' 16nm mobile phone CPU is being mass-produced, and the display screen is also stuck by Sanxin Electronics.

BOE is developing it, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and Huawei mobile phones need to break the game.

And to find TSMC foundry, you can only use the Kirin 400 chip with 16nm process, and the Kirin 400 will definitely not be able to withstand Qualcomm and Sanxin, and now they have come up with Huawei's killer feature - Kirin 800.

At present, HiSilicon chips can only complete the 16nm process, while the Kirin 800 is designed for the 12nm process, so SMIC can only be selected.

Yu Chengdong gritted his teeth and prepared to tape out in advance, so that the Kirin 800 could be put into mass production in March this year, and he knew that SMIC's production line productivity was more than 5 times faster than TSMC's, and it should be enough to meet the needs of Huawei's mobile phones.

"Mr. Zhao, we will send the chip design template the day after tomorrow, and you will arrange tape-out as soon as possible."

"No problem." Zhao Jun smiled with his eyebrows, tape-out requires money, and it is not a small amount, according to Huawei's requirements, it can't be done without two or three hundred million.

If someone else's money comes to trial production, SMIC has no reason to refuse.

After signing the contract, HiSilicon immediately sent the chip design template to SMIC, and SMIC immediately debugged the production line for the Kirin 800.

……

And when the semiconductor industry is full of gunsmoke, Western companies are once again playing other tricks.

January 14th.

Android announced a comprehensive upgrade for the Android mobile phone system, machine.

Microsoft followed suit and announced a comprehensive upgrade of its computer system.

These upgrades have no impact on the average user, at most the system has become a little bigger.

However, for the vast majority of manufacturers using Android or Microsoft, this is not so simple.

……

"Mr. Gao, something is wrong." Yang Shining said hurriedly.

After hearing the call, Gao Zhiyuan frowned: "Mr. Yang, speak slowly." ”

"Mr. Gao, it's like this......" Yang Shining made a long story short, and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

After listening to Yang Shining's words, Gao Zhiyuan's face changed greatly, and he was so angry that he got up: "Despicable and shameless Google and Microsoft." ”

It turns out that the so-called all-round upgrade is to insert a whitelist, but any chip that is not in the whitelist cannot be used on the Android system and Microsoft system.

This is simply the bottom of the kettle, dozens of chips on mobile phones and computers are suddenly rejected by the operating system.

The reason of Google and Microsoft is that the chip has not been tested, and there may be security vulnerabilities, which will cause personal privacy leakage.

Gao Zhiyuan, who calmed down, immediately replied: "Mr. Yang, you immediately sent an invitation to all domestic chip manufacturing companies, and we will take Google and Microsoft to court." ”

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Zhiyuan knew that this matter could not be solved by a lawsuit, and if Google and Microsoft deliberately delayed time, and waited for the verdict to come down in a few years, YMTC and Unisplendour might have cooled down.

He knows that he must find a way to solve this big trouble, and once the time drags on, Huaguo's chip manufacturing industry may die directly.

Without the chip manufacturing industry, the semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry will also enter a cold winter.

The anxious Gao Zhiyuan was walking around the office, and suddenly he stopped, grabbed his coat and shouted while putting it on: "Equation." ”

"Yes, Mr. Gao."

"The president's villa that drove immediately."

"Yes."

The assistant hurriedly called the driver, and a Mercedes-Benz rushed towards Moss Village.

And the Internet also exploded at this time.

Domestic netizens were furious, spraying from Microsoft Google to ABT, and from the United States to the entire West, and Chinese officials also hurriedly took action, hoping to change the decision of Google and Microsoft.

But Google and Microsoft seem to have eaten the scales - iron-hearted, and insist that domestic chips have potential safety risks, and they can only be used on mobile phones or computers unless they undergo their comprehensive technical testing.

And this so-called comprehensive technical test, the cycle is about half a year, if you accept this test, it is to fall into the trap of the other party.

When the time comes, it is not up to them to say whether it is safe or not, it is obvious that the other party is just to delay time and drag down Huaguo chip manufacturing enterprises.

As a last resort, the official can only announce sanctions against Google and Microsoft.

However, Google and Microsoft are already dead pigs, not afraid of boiling water, and they are determined to kill domestic chip companies.
