376 It's Beautiful
After listening to Wang Yufei's explanation, Ge Lingyue was in a trance.
If it was the first time I heard that Wang Yufei hoped to introduce the most advanced photolithography machines so that China could have the production capacity of the 7nm process, Ge Lingyue felt that this was making a mountain out of a molehill.
So everything that happened today has made her doubt the pure business logic she once believed in.
At this moment, she admired Wang Yufei and Wei Huaju's attitude of being prepared for danger, so much that she wanted to prostrate herself.
Although Wang Yufei said it lightly, Ge Lingyue was not a pure layman.
When designing a chip with the same function, who would directly design two sets using different processes and different craftsmanship levels?
That's all. Weihua actually conducted two tape-outs of different processes in two companies at the same time?
It makes no sense just to send money to Huaxin Precision, and it also violates normal business logic.
After all, at that time, no one could have imagined that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. would suddenly break the contract and stop manufacturing.
Yet all this happened.
In other words, Changxiang Technology can still provide sufficient brain-computer chips to major manufacturers on time, but there are differences in the manufacturing process.
Although the performance has been reduced by 25%, the brain-computer chip is an independent unit after all and does not participate in the calculation of the CPU, so the decrease in performance will not be too obvious.
Only the increase in energy consumption is troublesome.
But this problem is not difficult for Chinese mobile phone manufacturers to solve, especially when the batteries of Apple products have been criticized. For domestic phones that charge for five minutes and talk for two hours, these are not problems.
The most advanced technology, not to mention just increased energy consumption, even if it has bigger flaws, these manufacturers must be able to accept it.
…
Wang Yufei ignored Ge Lingyue's surprised expression and continued: "That's what I think about it. As the manufacturing process of Huaxin Precision improves, the cost will definitely be further reduced in the future. Therefore, the order canceled by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
It can be transferred directly to Huaxin Precision. In this way, Huaxin Precision can make money from orders and further improve the manufacturing process."
"On the other hand, although the costs of the chips produced by our OEMs are currently about the same, we can still lower the price appropriately when shipping. You can decide how much. You can decide according to the liquidated damages given by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
For reference, we are making some appropriate concessions on profits, and I believe domestic manufacturers will understand."
"When this matter is resolved, or Samsung accepts our conditions, and 7nm process chips start to be supplied again, I believe that Huaxin Precision's technology will have matured by then, and the price of 14nm process brain-computer chips should also be reduced to one
If it is acceptable, then we can supply goods at different prices in the future.”
"At that time, the 7nm process brain-computer chips were mainly used in high-end machines, while the 14nm process chips were used in low-end mobile phones or some low-end laptops, as well as other devices that can use our brain-computer chips in the future. In this way, regardless of the future
No matter how the situation develops, at least we can enjoy technology and be invincible. Mr. Ge, what do you think?"
Ge Lingyue nodded, this is indeed the best solution at present.
At least she couldn't think of a better solution.
In fact, Wang Yufei has only one core point of view, which is that orders for brain-computer chips using the 14nm process will not stop.
Even if the supply of 7nm process chips resumes in the future, there will still be a sufficient market for 14nm process brain-computer chips.
Of course, this must have a time limit.
This deadline is probably not fixed. When China has the technology and technology of the 7nm process, 14nm brain-computer chips will probably become history.
This reminded Ge Lingyue of Wang Yufei's previous confrontation with Intel for Huaxin Intelligent Manufacturing.
This was obviously an unwise behavior in Ge Lingyue's opinion before, so before taking action, even if Stephen came to China to meet with Wang Yufei, he had not spoken to the CEO of Imagination Technology.
But now it seems that Ge Lingyue is completely convinced.
This step by step was so meticulous.
It's like knowing everything that will happen next.
In comparison, she simply felt like an ignorant Bai Fumei.
Ge Lingyue was stunned for a long time before he murmured: "Have you ever asked a master to have a fortune telling? How can you think so far-reaching?"
Wang Yufei smiled and explained: "It's actually not as complicated as you think. It's just that our thinking patterns about the enemy and ourselves are different. Speaking of which, I have to thank Apple for not letting my software go online and starting to target the second system.
, it made me understand the truth that the enemy will not want to have a good dialogue with you before showing enough strength."
Ge Lingyue was depressed again.
Apple again?
And what happened last time was completely different from this time, right?
The second system obviously infringes Apple's intellectual property rights. Why doesn't your boss refuse to admit it?
But Ge Lingyue obviously had nothing to say at this time.
After all, no matter from which aspect, some companies have acted shamelessly this time.
Even from her business logic point of view.
"Okay, it's time for the company to think about how to appease its business partners. You'll be busy next. We all perform our duties. I'm going back to school first. When will Apple, Samsung, or TSMC be ready to talk again?
We will contact you again. No delivery."
…
Silicon Valley.
It was confirmed that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. had completely terminated its cooperation with Huawei and Imagination Technology in brain-computer interaction chips under the pressure of several companies, which also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, Intel and Apple have also begun to be extremely nervous about other aspects.
For example, Stephen, from the beginning, the entire technical department was in a state of preparation to respond to possible emergencies at any time.
Of course, it's not just internal vigilance. The departments of Intel, Microsoft, Apple, IBM and Google that focus on software and hardware security are all on alert.
After all, no one knows whether that genius who is very good at finding system loopholes will do something outrageous.
And this time everyone was well prepared.
If Wang Yufei really dares to play this trick and release some 0day vulnerability to cause trouble without notifying the company, then I'm sorry, according to the rules of the game, several companies can directly initiate lawsuits against Changxiang Technology as long as they find evidence!
And what do you say about evidence? A group of the smartest people in the world have been gathered together. As long as this kind of thing really happens, if everyone speaks together, it will be very powerful after all!
After all, several companies have some of the smartest people in the world.
Now we are just waiting for this incident to start spreading online.
Or they can wait until some young man gives in?
