The semiconductor industry here can be regarded as the engine of the island's economy. When the economy of a certain island took off and became the "Four Asian Tigers", the driving force came from this. But decades later, the highlight of the island is still here.
But on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, things have really changed.
At this moment, a review meeting is being held in a company that is the world's number one wafer foundry company. The host of the meeting pointed at the PPT projection on the wall with a light pen and stated in a painful voice: "We organized manpower and worked all night.
After analyzing several samples purchased from mainland China, the situation is very bad.”
The projected PPT is a picture of a chip with its casing disassembled, and a high-power electron microscope captures many details on the wafer. Those who can participate in the meeting are all industry insiders. One look at the dense and complex circuits in the picture, and they all appear to be facing a formidable enemy.
of solemnity.
"Radiation Electronics has released their 'Fallout 1' series of products, which not only include extremely high-end server and mainframe chips, but also personal digital products for ordinary households. We are now seeing this chip, which is specifically targeted at mainstream Intel
A competitor to consumer products.”
The light pen held by the host of the meeting kept shaking and the light spots were swaying around. A group of people in the conference room exclaimed noisily in front of the picture. Someone asked suspiciously: "How can this radiation electronics company in China develop
Three-nanometer process?”
This question has been repeatedly raised in the brains of countless people. It is said that China can currently achieve 28nm yield, and it will be good to move to 14nm. But suddenly the 3nm process technology is available, which is amazing.
The smaller the process technology, the higher the difficulty. More transistors, more computing cores, higher frequencies, and faster processing capabilities can be arranged on a wafer per unit area. This technology is not even used by a major island manufacturer.
I'm just preparing to use it, but I haven't used this level of manufacturing process yet.
For a long time, in order to maintain the technological gap with the mainland, a certain island has restricted the transfer of advanced technology. They have even joined forces with Japan and South Korea to form an industrial alliance to suppress the mainland - they clamor to maintain the status quo, that is
I want to make money but also look down on you.
But now that China has taken the lead in developing 3-nanometer technology, the situation is different. The host of the meeting continued: "We have contacted Intel, and they are also very concerned about this matter.
According to our analysis, the technology used by Radiation Electronics in consumer-grade chips comes from AMD. AMD has just announced that it has indeed licensed a large number of patents for consumer-grade chips to Radiation Electronics."
This caused an uproar in the conference room, and someone asked loudly: "Why is AMD doing this? Don't they want the current market for consumer chips?"
Radiation Electronics enters the server and mainframe markets by purchasing relevant patents from IBM. It also needs a license in the consumer PC market, otherwise selling chips will violate other people's patent rights. If it is not a quarrel, basic business rules
Still have to abide by it.
The host of the meeting continued: "The specific agreement between Radiation Electronics and AMD is not known to outsiders, but there is news that they spent billions of dollars and a large amount of advanced patented technology to make transactions with AMD. The performance of the chips they have now developed
It’s obviously one head ahead.”
With this said, everyone understands. AMD and Intel have been fighting in the personal computer market for many years. AMD has been suppressed by Intel, and its market share is far inferior to the latter. It is a difficult life. Now it is obviously taking money.
The hungry wolf that emits radioactive electrons comes in to disrupt the situation.
"Intel is in trouble."
"We're the ones in trouble."
"What exactly is Radiant Electronics doing? It wants to seize the market, so why does it release the 3-nanometer process in one go? This time it jumps from 14 to 10 to 7 to 5, directly to 3 nanometers, with three or four generations in between.
The technological gap suddenly pushed us to the edge."
"The Communist Party of China on the other side has a lot of money. They spend tens of billions and hundreds of billions of special funds at every turn. How can we compete there?"
When it came to technology and money, the elites in the conference room suddenly lost their temper. They were still a little confident in technology and felt that they would not be easily caught up by their opponents in any case, but now they suddenly discovered that their opponents were so straightforward.
I caught up with you in a daze, what can you do?
And when it comes to money, this is even more temperamental. The stupid people on the island talk about how 426 on the other side can't afford tea eggs every day, but the elites know how rich the Turkish Communists on the other side of the strait are - the best city on a certain island
It looks like the urban-rural fringe of mainland China.
The semiconductor industry is all about capital and technology, but now it can’t do both, so it’s still a fool!
"Don't panic, be calm." The company boss spoke in the conference room, "The difficult situation we are facing now, can it be more difficult than when we started our business? Isn't it just that we have a highly skilled competitor? We are also preparing to build a new company in Eagle
Jiangjia has put into production the 3nm process."
As soon as the boss spoke, everyone could only settle down. The next topic was naturally how to deal with it - speeding up the construction of the new factory in Yingjiangjia, updating their technical level, and improving their competitiveness.
It's just these things.
"Also, we should join forces with Intel. They should also face competition from Radiant Electronics, and they will definitely not be happy." The boss of the company was calm and calm, "Intel shouldn't also cooperate with Radiant Electronics, right?"
"No, no." The host of the meeting shook his head quickly, "Radiant Electronics originally wanted to spend money to purchase Intel's patents related to the X86 architecture, but Intel flatly refused. Now Intel is trying to sue Radiant Electronics because the patent details are still
There are many clues to be found.”
Hearing that Intel, the industry leader, was still fighting to die, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became much more relaxed. The boss of the company even said cheerfully: "Look, we still have friends. We can also win over Samsung from Nanbang."
of Toshiba,…….”
After listening to Boss Balabala's speech, the conference room became much more cheerful. Even the host of the meeting laughed, as if he had found the backbone of his calmness. But the boss couldn't stop speaking, and when he stopped, everyone felt heavy-faced.
The smile on my face cannot cover up the pain in my heart.
Obviously you can make money easily by spreading your legs, but now it's hard to make a living relying on your talent, haha.
Uh..., that's not right!
Obviously you can make money easily by accumulating technology, but now you have to work hard to catch up. This is not a victory in any way, right? Today the mainland can come up with 3 nanometers, what will they come up with tomorrow? This catch-up and surpassing
The speed is too scary.
And just when a bunch of people were trying to calm down, someone suddenly broke in outside the conference room and shouted, "Chairman, it's bad. That Radiation Electronics company is going crazy."
"What's wrong?" Everyone was shocked.
The '3nm' issue is already enough of a headache, so why not be a disaster? Everyone is feeling heavy right now, so why don't we just stop messing around?
The visitor continued: "Radiation Electronics has announced that it will open its technology patent library to mainland semiconductor companies for free and seek common development. They expressed their hope to introduce more social funds to develop a better future."
Damn it!
What a ghost!
If you do this, the future will be bleak.
The lunatics on the other side are not just trying to destroy people’s jobs, they are also trying to destroy people’s pots!
