Chapter 389: The world is shocked, then Dawning Technology is crazy?
At this time, facing the eyes of reporters and those passers-by, Lin Chen slowly replied:
"We at Sugon Technology will not give up on the 65nm process.
In fact, since the completion of the research and development of chip production equipment for the 90nm process process, we have been working non-stop on the research and development of the 65nm process technology.
As for how much R&D funds are? In the next year, we are ready to burn $26 billion! ”
"Wow!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the scene was in an uproar, and people all watched in amazement as Lin Chen was surprised by the generosity of Shuguang Technology.
After all, last year, Sugon Technology spent $25 billion to enter the semiconductor production equipment industry, and the huge amount of money has surprised them incomparably.
And now that Dawning Technology has taken out more funds than last year, how can this not surprise them?
And as far as they know, 25 billion US dollars were spent last year, and most of the funds were used to purchase various chip production equipment companies and technology patent authorization.
Theoretically, it shouldn't be needed so much this year, after all, there are already companies that should have, and there are also technology patents that should be owned.
At this time, you only need to use the money to develop a new process technology, why do you need to spend so much money this year?
Theoretically, shouldn't $10 billion or $15 billion be enough? How can you still come up with so much money?
So the reporters at the scene quickly raised their hands, and one of the reporters from Xiangjiang Ming Bao was given the opportunity to ask a question:
"Mr. Lin Chen, as far as I know, you spent $25 billion last year.
The vast majority of the funds were used to acquire a number of semiconductor production equipment manufacturers around the world, and less than half was used to develop 90nm process technology and improve yield.
Why do we need so much $26 billion this year? Do you plan to continue to acquire other semiconductor manufacturers? ”
Facing the reporter's puzzled question, Lin Chen shook his head slightly, and then said with a serious face:
"With each generation of manufacturing technology, it costs more money than the former, and we have a lot of semiconductor bases that are weak.
For example, photoresist, we still purchase photoresist from the island country of Shin-Etsu, and as for the chemical materials for chip production, we also purchase chemical materials from many companies in the island country.
And this time, we want to try to solve more shortcomings, strive to achieve independent and controllable control of the whole semiconductor industry, and make up for any shortcomings in chip production. ”
The reporters at the scene, including the tourists and passers-by on the periphery, all nodded slightly.
Although many people don't know what photoresist and what chemical material are, and how important they are.
But through Lin Chen's words, they also knew that although Daxia solved the 90nm process, there were still many deficiencies.
So they no longer have any doubts about Sugon Technology's behavior of spending so much money into the semiconductor industry, but many people still have a question in their hearts.
This question is whether Sugon Technology can really afford it? After all, it's $26 billion a year.
Isn't that too much money? Can Sugon really afford it?
So in the midst of the crowd of raised hands, one of the reporters from Stormlands was given the opportunity to ask a question:
"Mr. Lin Chen, $26 billion is a huge expenditure, and with the upfront investment in the automotive industry, the total may reach $30 billion.
Finally, coupled with the research and development of other things and the development needs of many companies in the entire Dawning system, you will have to spend at least $35 billion a year, can you really afford it?
Intel's Core processors will be released soon, and the big four mobile phone giants are about to release their new smartphones.
Are you sure you can continue to maintain your current market position and be able to afford such a huge spending? ”
I have to say that the question raised by this reporter is indeed very crucial.
After all, other giants in the computer industry and the mobile phone industry will not let Sugon Technology maintain its current market position, and will definitely strive to develop products that surpass Sugon Technology.
In this case, it will become more and more difficult for Sugon Technology to continue to maintain its position.
Therefore, the question raised by the reporter is quite critical, and it is also a question that cannot be ignored.
In this regard, Lin Chen shook his head slightly, and then said confidently:
"First of all, the 90nm process technology Core processor is not a concern, and we are invincible in the 90nm X86 instruction set.
This is not only the strength of the microarchitecture of our Ryzen processors, but also the X86-S instruction set that gives us a lot of confidence.
Secondly, in terms of new smartphones from the big four mobile phone giants.
I believe that the soon-to-be-released Dawning S3 smartphone will continue to dominate the market and still eat the fattest cake in the mobile phone industry. ”
Hearing Lin Chen's confident words, the reporters at the scene were in different moods.
However, they still pressed the camera in their hands very devotedly, and the reporter holding the notebook quickly wrote down the key points of Lin Chen's words.
In this way, Lin Chen answered several other questions from the reporters on the spot, and then the press conference ended.
And the reporters also flew away, and then sent their press releases to their headquarters through their own means.
In this way, it didn't take long for relevant news to appear in domestic and foreign Internet media.
"The 65-nanometer chip is stable, and Lin Chen claims that the R&D fund for the 65-nanometer process process is 26 billion US dollars!"
This is the news headline of the Penguin portal.
"Lin Chen claims that he will not give up entering the automotive industry!"
This is the news headline of the NetEase portal.
"The Dawning S3 smartphone is about to be released! How strong is the Dawning S3 smartphone? ”
This is the news headline of the New Wolf portal.
Lin Chen announced that he would not continue to release mid-range and high-end computer motherboards and chipsets.
This is the news headline of the Fox portal.
With the effectiveness of Internet media, domestic and foreign Internet have taken the lead in reporting relevant news.
At the same time, the overseas media are not far behind, and they have also reported relevant news one after another, but the angle of their reporting is obviously different from that of Daxia.
"The world's richest man who has gone crazy, and the Dawning system will spend $40 billion a year in the next year?"
This is the headline of the news of the daily newspaper of Meidiguo.
"Committing a crime against the wind? Mr. Lin Chen, the world's richest man, claimed to continue to enter the automotive industry. ”
That's the Renton Daily News headline of the Big Tone Empire.
"Spending $26 billion on your own to drive the 65nm manufacturing process? I saw only sorrow. ”
This is the headline of the island nation's mocking news.
"The arrogant richest man in the world! Lin Chen claimed that the Dawning mobile phone and the Dawning computer would continue to defend the current kingship. ”
That's the headline in Silicon Valley Daily......
