If quantification is needed, Daxia's semiconductor industry has been upgraded to build a semiconductor standard industry led by Jiuzhou Technology. The resources it has driven have already exceeded one trillion Xia Yuan.
It is unrealistic to hand over all power to one company, but the technology provided by Jiuzhou Technology is so sincere that after several important meetings, a cooperation model was reached in which Xia Enterprise contributes and Jiuzhou Technology provides the technology.
Jiuzhou Technology is not busy in vain. It will have the right to formulate standards, and other benefits derived from this can be said to have the power of life and death in the industry.
When Daxia's new standards rely on Daxia's semiconductor products to supply the world and gain a decisive share of the monopoly, newcomers will either have to rely on this set of standards to enter the game, or they will have to make their own set of standards, or use the standards that are about to be eliminated. The old standards have become ashes under the wheel of the times.
Using trillions of capital to stir up this rotten situation is a bold move.
After all, this is not a game. If you make a mistake in one step, you can still load files. Now for industrial upgrading, companies such as Jiuzhou Technology, Xiaxin Technology, and Youyan are spending hundreds of millions every day.
Of course, other leading semiconductor companies in the world are aware of Daxia's corporate actions.
Although Daxia manufacturers are supplying a large amount of global semiconductor production capacity in 2021, in order to curb the development of Daxia semiconductors, many large companies have been restricted and cannot take products from Daxia companies. Therefore, the supply of semiconductor chips is somewhat tight in the mid-range industry. , even at the end of the third quarter, there was not much improvement.
While containing it, it is natural to increase production capacity at the same time.
Seizing production capacity has become a top priority for major semiconductor design companies. TSMC, the largest wafer foundry, has become a favorite. AMD, Pingguo, Nvidia and other companies have paid reservations in advance to lock in cooperation orders for 5nm or even 3nm trial production this year.
Among them, Pingguo's current main production capacity is focused on 5nm, and it has "relying on ability" to obtain the first batch of TSMC's future 3nm process. However, according to the answer given by TSMC, Pingguo 14's A16 chip may not be able to keep up with the 3nm process.
This made Cook very angry: "Liar! This is Chiguoguo's deception! What did they promise in the first place? Complete the technology upgrade within two years!"
Although the assistant and other executives were also dissatisfied, they still advised: "Now we can only rely on TSMC's foundry technology. Korean Star's new technology has made the power consumption of Qualcomm chips remain high, and Pingguo products cannot afford it." .”
What does it mean that form is stronger than people? For the first time, Cook felt the discomfort of being restricted.
Pingguo's chip design is very powerful, but only TSMC can show it on this planet. If TSMC hadn't been Uncle Sam's dog, I'm afraid Pingguo would have fallen into the same situation as Xia Wei, with drawings but no chips.
In addition to the cooperation between Pingguo and TSMC, Korean stars also have helpers other than Qualcomm.
Qualcomm has taken the highest-end process capacity, and graphics card chip manufacturers such as AMD have taken the share of 7nm, 6nm and 5nm at the end of the year. The sharpest Ryzen 6000 is upgraded to 6nm, and Zen4 is a 5nm process.
However, the shortcomings of Han Xing's new process have led Nvidia's boss Huang to say that future RTX 40 series graphics cards will switch to TSMC's 5nm process.
In fact, Qualcomm has been forced to this point. In the past two years, the Korean factory has caused a lot of problems with its main chips, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction within the company. Some directors even said that if Snapdragon chips perform so badly in the future, they must To be transferred to TSMC production.
If the global semiconductor chip industry is to be segmented, in addition to mobile phone CPUs, there are also fields such as memory chips, analog chips, power ICs, power devices, IGBTs, liquid crystal chips, touch chips, fingerprint recognition chips, clock chips, carrier chips, etc. .
Among them, the main 5G chip players are Xia Wei, Datang Telecom, Chenxun, Ryukyu MediaTek, and Ziguang Zhanrui. There are only three foreign companies: Qualcomm, Pingguo, and Korean Star.
In other subdivisions, the number of companies in Daxia has basically exceeded that of companies in other countries around the world. With the increase in the technical support provided by Jiuzhou Technology, these companies have better raw materials and equipment, and the products they produce have better performance. And in terms of quality, it has gradually changed from catching up with foreign companies to leading foreign companies.
Uncle Sam naturally noticed this situation, and his think tanks and intelligence departments took action, but with little effect.
There are three main reasons for this phenomenon. One is that the new actor who plays Uncle Sam has just come on stage and is changing his confidants to handle internal affairs. After all, Xizong has poor energy and is relatively slow to deal with; the other is that the previous one took a strong drug. , no matter what we do now, we can only go to the root, such as industrial software and other fields, but we can't do too much of this kind of thing. After all, Uncle Sam's international reputation has dropped a lot because of this incident, and this will affect National debt!
The third is that Daxia's enterprises and relevant departments have experienced previous random confrontations, and now they have developed the habit of not being surprised and striving to develop. After all, Daxia's market is large enough to maintain the initial development speed.
Although the news is important one after another, in terms of secular life, the public is shocked by these industry news every day and has become accustomed to it.
If it were not news about milestone achievements, for netizens, it would not be as comfortable as watching movies and TV series, or playing games for a while.
"First Evolution"
After Daxia entered a period of rapid development, social modernization and urbanization have brought about earth-shaking changes in interpersonal communication and people's spiritual needs. As for why I mentioned this, it is naturally because I want to write a few hundred words (bushi). The most important thing is The reason is that the net has been cast down and the seeds have been planted in the soil. Now it takes time to wait for the day of receipt.
Moreover, the pressure was too tight before, and many R&D personnel had some psychological problems. Although there are supplies like Taoyao and medical teams on call around the clock, humans are not machines. Machines will wear out and malfunction if they are used at high intensity for a long time, not to mention the mortal body. What about those who have fetuses?
Some old employees have worked crazy overtime in the past few years, and the vacation they have saved can be used for several months with pay. However, in order to pay high overtime wages and complete more and more orders, they only take the mandatory ten days off. Hours.
There is also part of the management, that is, food and accommodation in the company. Seeing that he is in his thirties, he has not even solved his personal problems.
So the considerate Boss Gu thought of having a big holiday in October, so that those in the company who had not taken a holiday for a whole year, except those who could not hand over or stop the projects and work at hand, would be forced to take a break, and organize If you want to travel, take a half-month tour of the mountains and rivers of the motherland. If the effect is good, this may become a regular item.
