Chapter 140: The Rise of Chips (3)
Zhang Haijun of Huaxin International couldn't help but be silent after listening to the actions of Huawei, Ziguang and Huada Semiconductor.
Galaxy Technology has really made a move, and he knows that behind all this, it is Galaxy Technology.
Just like the layout of Galaxy Technology in the electric vehicle, battery, and wind power industries, because Galaxy Technology generally has access to a maximum of three places.
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, after all, there are many subdivisions in the chip industry, such as mobile phone chips, computer chips, TV chips, etc., or SPU chips, GPU chips, memory chips, screen chips, electronic control chips, etc.
What Huaxin International needs to do now is to obtain the license of Galaxy Technology as soon as possible, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
In fact, not only Huaxin International thinks so, but also Yangtze River Storage, Hua Hong Semiconductor, China Resources Microelectronics, and Huali Microelectronics have all sent people to Shanmei.
The CEOs of some companies have come to Shanmei in person, and they can't do it if they don't come.
According to the industry plan of Galaxy Technology, companies that do not make the list will definitely die, this is no joke.
If you look at the battery industry and the electric vehicle industry, you can see that there are several giants playing now, and small and medium-sized players will either become affiliated or go bankrupt.
Galaxy Technology's dominance over the industry is very strong.
If Huaxin International and Hua Hong Semiconductor don't win the quota as soon as possible, they can only be eliminated at that time, of course, they also know that Galaxy Technology is famous for its domineering and harshness.
……
May 11th.
Huawei Company held a chip conference in Pengcheng.
Yu Mingguang stood on the stage and said in high spirits: "Today, Huawei will bring the revolutionary Kirin 1000 chip, please look at the big screen!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen behind him showed rows of data and patterns.
5nm process.
Computing speed: 46 billion times per second peak, 42 billion times per second average.
Unit energy consumption decreased by 64%, and unit heat generation decreased by 83%......
Rows of data all reflect the powerful performance of the Kirin 1000, which is simply crushing for Qualcomm Snapdragon, Sydney, and Sanxin.
Now Qualcomm, Sanxin, and Sydney are only hovering around five or six billion times per second, while the Kirin 1000 directly improves performance by seven to eight times.
Through the live webcast, Cook, Lee Kun-hee, and the president of Qualcomm, who were watching the new product launch of Huawei at this time, all looked ugly.
This gap makes them a little breathless, if it is more than 10 billion times per second, they are confident that with their technical reserves, the gap will be narrowed or even surpassed.
But with a speed of 42 billion operations per second, it will be difficult to catch up unless they immediately adopt 5nm process chips.
The problem is that they don't have a 5nm process now, let alone a 5nm process, and even a 7nm process is not yet mature.
In the face of this kind of open enemy, Sydney and Qualcomm can only say one sentence: how to break?
Of course, it's not just Sanxin, Sydney, and Qualcomm that look ugly.
Taijidian, UMC, GF and other chip foundries are also in a heavy mood.
The reason why they are in a heavy mood is mainly because Huawei's Kirin chip is not OEM by them, which is not only the loss of a customer, but also the addition of a competitor, and they can be happy to hell.
Similarly, domestic mobile phone manufacturers are also very nervous, spending money to make a big killer like Kirin 1000, if there is no chip with similar performance, the competitiveness will decline.
Rebus pressed the back of his neck, apparently the Kirin 1000 of Hua Wei made him feel a lot of pressure.
Now whether it is Qualcomm Snapdragon or Sydney chip, it is a backward product overnight.
Another Galaxy, which has a 5-nanometer chip production capacity, has not launched products such as mobile phone chips.
Do you want to choose the 12-nanometer chip of purple light? Rebus pondered bitterly.
Slow?
Rebus suddenly reacted, saying what is the matter with the chip production lines of Unigroup, Huada Semiconductor, and HiSilicon?
Is it different from HiSilicon's production line? Or is it the same?
If it is the same, it means that Unisplendour and Huada Semiconductor also have the production technology of 5nm chips.
The more I thought about it, the brighter Rebus's eyes lit up.
Hurriedly found the phone number of Yang Zibi, president of Ziguang Group, and dialed it.
"Hey, is it Mr. Yang of Unisplendour Group? I am Rebus of Wheat. ”
"Oh! It turned out to be Mr. Lei! What's the matter?"
After greeting Yang Zibi for a few words, Rebus asked straight to the point:
"Mr. Yang, can you ask if your chip production line is the same as HiSilicon's?"
"Why do you ask? Our production lines are all made by Galaxy Technology, of course they are the same. Yang Zibi replied confusedly.
And so it was! Rebus suppressed his excitement and hurriedly said:
"Mr. Yang, then you can also produce 5-nanometer chips, right?"
"Uh...... This is theoretically producible, but we are now designing 7nm chips, and 5nm is not that fast. Yang Zibi had obviously heard Rebus's thoughts.
"7 nanometers? Mr. Yang, let's cooperate! How about wheat willing to bear half of the R&D cost, and when the time comes, 7nm chips will be developed and supplied to wheat first?"
"This ......" Of course, Yang Zibi knew that this matter was beneficial to Ziguang, but the businessman was talking about business, and he could pit a little more, so he was waiting for the price to sell.
After a while, the two exchanged several rounds in the air, and finally reached a verbal agreement.
Rebus, who was afraid of long nights and dreams, hurriedly rushed to Ziguang in person and signed a contract with Yang Zibi.
……
And Meizu, Oppai mobile phones and VO mobile phones are now in a hurry.
In the face of powerful flowers, various mobile phone manufacturers have to cross the sea and show their powers.
Some are looking for Unigroup and Huada Semiconductor, while others are looking for another way, such as Duan Yongzheng, the behind-the-scenes investor of Oppai and VO.
He is now discussing with Huaxin International, planning to invest in Huaxin International, and then strive to obtain the chip production line of Galaxy Technology.
For a while, Shanmei was lively again, and a large number of semiconductor companies at home and abroad sent people over, hoping to buy the chip production line of Galaxy Technology.
Of course, they are destined to return in vain, because Galaxy Technology said that the current chip production lines of HiSilicon, Unigroup, and Huada are leased by Galaxy Technology.
In addition, these three chip manufacturing companies are also shareholding companies of Galaxy Technology, which is equivalent to the subsidiary of Galaxy Technology.
As soon as they heard the news, many people retreated, and of course, some of them were still unrelenting and continued to soak in Shanmei.
For example, Li Fuzhen of Sanxin, Duan Yongzheng of BBK, Zhang Haijun of Huaxin International and others, they do not plan to give up.
Even if it's a joint venture or a leased production line, they want to qualify.
This is a 5-nanometer chip production line, once this production line is obtained, it means that you can upgrade your company's chip manufacturing level to the world's first-class.
At present, in the world's chip manufacturing industry, Galaxy Technology is the world's top, Huawei HiSilicon is the world's first-class, and Unisplendour and Huada Semiconductor are quasi-first-class.
Intel, Sanxin, and Taiji, which have always been ranked among the top in the world, have been reduced to the second rate.
It can be seen that the terrible nature of Galaxy Technology has suddenly reversed the pattern of the world's chip manufacturing industry.
If it weren't for the lack of production capacity of the 5nm production line now, the chip foundry industry would have been bloodbathed by the chip manufacturing companies of the galaxy first.
However, even if the production is insufficient now, Taiji Electric has already felt that something is wrong, and if this situation continues, they will take jujube pills.
