Chapter 566 Showdown, you will lose(1/2)
Asmai suddenly understood why Wang Xiang was talking about cooperation with him this time, rather than purchasing.
Changtian Technology owns 65nm-level photolithography machines, etching machines and even the entire chip manufacturing process. Do you need to buy anything from ASML?
ASML's top management immediately took this matter very seriously and reported the relevant situation to Intel, its largest shareholder.
United States, Silicon Valley, Intel headquarters.
At this time, after the entire Intel senior management saw Changtian Technology's paper, everyone was confused.
No one expected that Changtian Technology actually has complete 65nm process chip production technology. This is the entire process technology from equipment to chip design and production.
Although the paper is not the most detailed content, judging from the logical structure and key nodes of the paper, there are no problems in the paper.
Science is a very rigorous matter, especially in the process of writing academic papers. No logic can be a lie.
Because if one point is a lie, then countless wrong logics will be used to cover it up.
This kind of cover-up cannot be hidden from the eyes of professionals.
"Why does Changtian Technology take the initiative to publish relevant papers?" Intel Technology President, Carrier asked this question anxiously while flipping through papers in relevant academic journals.
This paper from Changtian Technology is like a nuclear bomb to Intel!
Intel only has its current monopoly technological advantage after accumulating technology for decades.
Intel executives firmly believe that this advantage cannot be broken overnight.
However, the situation now has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Changtian Technology actually has mature technology at the 65 nanometer level!
It’s a mature technology! It’s not about the ability to develop the technology!
Intel CEO Ou Ning also had an urgent fax from ASML in his hand.
The other party informed Intel that Changtian Technology is currently in Holland and hopes to cooperate with ASML to jointly produce lithography machines for the 65nm process.
Seeing such news, Ou Ning felt very uneasy.
In doing this, Changtian Technology is completely taking the initiative, and you will hit you and I will hit mine.
You and Tire Electromechanical jointly ruled in a US court that Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, and Xiaxin International, a partner of Changtian Technology, infringed the intellectual property rights of 130nm chips.
Inform the world that the 130nm level Pangu chips designed by Changtian Technology and produced by Yanjiang Semiconductor have stolen technology from Intel and Tire Electromechanical.
So good.
Changtian Technology directly lays out its 65nm technology and invites well-known companies around the world and even Intel's industry chain companies to assist in production.
Do you want to follow me?
Intel simply has no way to keep up.
Intel is currently focusing a lot of energy on the mass production of 90nm process chips. The 65nm chips have only produced samples. How can they follow suit?
Ou Ning is not a fool and knows the bright cards played by Changtian Technology.
He is inviting Asmai to cooperate, but he is actually demonstrating to himself.
If ASML cooperates, Changtian Technology will be able to save a lot of time and costs and launch 65nm chips as soon as possible to establish itself as a leader in the semiconductor industry.
Even though Changtian Technology is still far behind Intel in terms of chip market share, its technological advantages can make up for this gap.
If ASML refuses to cooperate with Changtian Technology, Changtian Technology can completely cooperate with other photolithography machine companies around the world to complete the production of photolithography machines.
The technology is already quite detailed. With such technology, any company in the world with some basic knowledge can produce corresponding photolithography machines as long as it takes time.
Even if we go to an extreme and all the lithography machine companies in the world are unwilling to cooperate with Changtian Technology, then relying on Changtian Technology's own capabilities and setting up a team to produce lithography machines from scratch is completely feasible as long as it takes some time.
No problem.
Thinking of this, Ou Ning broke out in a cold sweat.
What kind of terrible company is Intel facing?
How powerful is the technical power of Changtian Technology!
Can ASML cooperate with Changtian Technology?
Of course not!
As one of the shareholders of ASML, how could Intel allow its competitors to cooperate with ASML?
Wouldn't it be a slap in Intel's face if it allowed this to happen?
And what conditions did Changtian Technology propose?
The proposal is to first supply Changtian Technology with lithography machines for the 65nm process.
It will be a year before the lithography machine can be sold to Intel at the market price, and Changtian Technology will still receive most of the profits.
This feeling is simply a shame and a huge insult to Intel!
It's absolutely unbearable.
It is even more impossible to agree to ASML and Changtian Technology signing such an insulting clause.
Changtian Technology puts its cards on the table.
Intel can't do anything.
Judging from the current situation.
It doesn't matter to Changtian Technology and the entire semiconductor industry what the U.S. court's verdict is.
After all, the chip industry is a technology industry where new things can completely cover old things.
If 65nm chips can become popular, who will care about 130nm chips?
The range of use of 130nm-level chips is very narrow.
Used on ordinary mechanical equipment, it increases the cost of the mechanical equipment and is completely unnecessary.
Currently it can only be used on a computer.
Moreover, Intel can predict that Yanjiang Semiconductor Company produces 130-nanometer process chips, and Changtian Technology's purpose is to meet the needs of Xia's domestic market, not for export or supply to Dell's company.
The Xiaguo market is large enough to allow Changtian Technology and its subsidiaries Yanjiang Semiconductor and Shenchuan to survive well.
Even if the judgment from the United States comes down and Yanjiang Semiconductor refuses to implement it, there will be nothing we can do.
Moreover, among the many PC markets in the world, except for markets other than the United States, who is the only one who can honestly and safely respect the so-called judgment?
I don’t know how many companies will switch sides in the face of interests.
If Changtian Technology opens up the public sale of 65nm chips.
It must be Intel's 90nm chip, and one side is Yanjiang Semiconductor's 65nm chip. Whoever uses the more advanced chip will definitely be able to occupy the global market faster with its PC.
There is no doubt that these PC companies will definitely flock to it.
And it is conceivable that if the fish is dead and the net is broken, Intel is likely to lose Xia Guo's market from now on.
The reason Intel was confident at the beginning was because its technology was a monopoly.
This advantage is now gone.
Changtian Technology's products can completely replace Intel.
If the ordinary people and relevant departments of Xia Kingdom are angered.
Then Intel's sales in Xia Guo will definitely face a serious impact and will be replaced by Changtian Technology's Pangu chips.
Intel's senior management has deeply considered the subsequent development of the situation.
Although there will definitely not be any cooperation between Intel and Changtian Technology, they absolutely cannot tear their faces apart at the moment.
This is absolutely detrimental to both parties.
What Intel has to do now is try not to stimulate Changtian Technology.
Appease Changtian Technology, so that Changtian Technology can use 130nm chips with peace of mind, and do not rush to develop 65nm chips.
At the same time, Intel must also complete technological breakthroughs as soon as possible. Not only must it roll out 90-nanometer chips as soon as possible, but it must also launch the development of 90-nanometer dual-core chips and 65-nanometer chips at the same time to establish its technological advantages as soon as possible.
As for the lawsuit between TiMC and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Intel's top executives decided after a day-long meeting.
Just wait and see what happens, don't participate, don't speak, don't take a stand.
Intel wants to own not only the Xiaguo market, but also the markets in Europe and the United States.
American technology companies are all thieves, and every one of them is a human being.
Absolutely, you can die as a Taoist friend but not as a poor Taoist.
TMC can die but Intel cannot.
Changtian Technology’s 60-nanometer chip-related technologies will definitely apply for relevant patents and intellectual property protection immediately.
At that time, TiMC’s 65nm technology will definitely be blocked.
Don't look at how happy TiMC is this year. After 65nm chips begin to become popular in a year or two, it will really be too late to cry.
To be continued...
