Rise of the Wasteland Chapter 1783: Hot pot

An island in the southeast, Hsinchu.
The semiconductor industry here can be regarded as the engine of the island's economy. When the economy of an island took off as the 'Asian Four Little Dragons', the driving force came from this. In the past few decades, the highlight of the island is still only here, but the other side of the strait is truly earth-shaking.
At this moment, in a company that is the world's largest foundry company, a review meeting is being held. The host of the meeting held a light pen and pointed at the projection PPT on the wall, and stated with pain: "We organized the manpower and analyzed several samples purchased from the mainland overnight. The situation is very bad."
The projected PPT is a picture of the chip with the shell removed, and a high-power electron microscope photographs many details on the wafer. All the people in the industry can participate in the meeting, and the dense and complicated lines on the pictures show the dignity of the enemy.
"Radiant Electronics released their" Radiant 1 "series of products, which not only have extremely high-end server and mainframe chips, but also personal digital products for ordinary households. We now see this chip, specializing in Opponents of mainstream consumer-grade products from Intel. "
The light pen held by the meeting host was shaking, the light was shaking, and a group of people in the meeting room exclaimed loudly in front of the picture. Someone asked in doubt: "How can this mainland radiant electron develop a three-nanometer process?"
This problem has already risen repeatedly in the brains of countless people. It is said that the mainland can get a 28-nanometer yield rate at present, and it is good to advance to 14-nanometer. Suddenly ran out of the 3 nanometer process technology, which is too powerful.
The smaller the process, the higher the difficulty. More transistors, more computing cores, higher frequencies, and faster processing capacity can be placed on the wafer per unit area. This technology is even being prepared for use by a large factory on an island, but has not yet used this level of process.
For a long time, in order to maintain the technological difference to the mainland, an island has restricted the transfer of advanced technology. They even joined forces with Japan and South Korea to form an industrial alliance, and the death was to suppress the mainland-they shouted to maintain the status quo, they wanted to make money and looked down on you.
It's just that mainland China has pioneered the 3nm technology, and the situation is different. The moderator continued: "We have contacted Intel and they are very concerned about this matter.
According to our analysis, the source of the technology used by Radiation Electronics on consumer-grade chips is AMD. AMD has just announced that it has indeed licensed a large number of consumer-grade chips to Radiation Electronics. "
This one triggered an uproar in the conference room, and someone asked loudly: "Why did AMD do this? Do they not want the current market for consumer-grade chips?"
Radiant Electronics entered the server and mainframe market by purchasing related patents from IBM. It also needs a license in the consumer-grade personal computer market, otherwise selling chips would violate the patent rights of others. If it is not a tear, the basic business rules must still be followed.
The meeting host continued: "The specific agreement between Radiation Electronics and AMD is not yet known to outsiders, but there is news that they have used billions of dollars of in addition a lot of advanced patented technology to deal with AMD. Now come out The chip performance is obviously ahead of the pack. "
In this way, everyone understands. AMD and Intel have been fighting in the PC market for many years. AMD has always been suppressed by Intel, and its market share is far inferior to the latter. It is now obvious that the hungry wolf who collected the money and radiated electrons came in to stir up the mess.
"Intel is in trouble."
"We are in trouble."
"What is radiation electron doing? It wants to grab the market, why release the process of 3 nanometers at a stretch? This jumps from 14 to 10, 7 to 5, and 3 nanometers directly. The technological gap between the three and four generations pushed us to the wall at once. "
"There is a total of money on the other side of the land. If people keep moving, they will lose tens of billions of special funds. Can we fight it there?"
When it comes to money when it comes to technology, the elite in the conference room suddenly loses his temper. They were still a little bit technically confident, and felt that they would not be easily caught up by their opponents anyway, but now they are just finding out-the opponents have just caught up straight, what can you do?
And when it comes to money, this is even more temperamental. The Yumin TV on the island is discussing every day that the 426 on the other side ca n’t afford tea eggs, but the elite knows that the soil on the other side of the strait has more money-the best cities on an island look like the mainland ’s urban-rural junction.
The semiconductor industry is fighting for capital and technology. Now they ca n’t match both, and they are a ghost!
"Don't panic, be calm." The company boss spoke in the conference room. "It's facing a difficult situation, but it's more difficult than when we started a business? Isn't it just one more skilled competitor, we are also Are you ready to put into production a 3-nanometer process at Yingjiangjiao. "
When boss spoke, everyone could only settle down. The next issue is how to deal with it—accelerating the construction of the new factory in Yingjiangjia, updating its technical level, and improving its competitiveness.
It's nothing more than these things.
"Also, we should join forces with Intel. They should also face the competition of radiant electronics, and they will certainly not be happy." The company boss is calm and calm, "Should n’t Intel cooperate with radiant electronics?"
"No, no." The meeting host shook his head quickly. "Radiant Electronics originally wanted to spend money to buy Intel related patents on the X86 architecture, but Intel flatly refused. Now Intel is trying to sue this radiant electronics because of A lot of handles can still be found in the details. "
When I heard that Intel, the industry leader, was still at the forefront, I would rather be unyielding, and the atmosphere in the conference room was much easier. The company boss even said cheerfully: "Look, we still have friends. We can also win Samsung of South Korea, Toshiba of the foot basin, ..."
Listening to boss Barbara ’s talk, the meeting room was much happier. Even the host of the meeting laughed straight as if he had found the heart of the host. It's just that boss's speech can't stop, and everyone will feel heavy as soon as it stops-the smile on his face can't cover the pain in his heart.
It's easy to make money if you open your legs, but now you have to rely on talents to confuse yourself.
Uh ... no!
It is obvious that you can easily make money by accumulating technology, but now you have to work hard to catch up. Isn't this a victory? Today, the mainland can produce 3 nanometers. What will they produce tomorrow? The speed of catching up and overtaking is too scary.
And when a bunch of people tried to calm themselves down, someone suddenly broke in outside the meeting room and yelled, "Chairman, no good. That radiant electron is crazy."
"What's the matter?" Everyone was surprised.
The ‘3 nanometer’ thing is enough to cause headaches. What disaster ca n’t be done? Everyone is in a heavy mood now, do n’t mess up?
Lairen continued: "Radiant Electronics announced that it will open its own technology patent library to the mainland semiconductor company for free and seek common development. They expressed their hope to introduce more social funds to develop a better future."
Lying trough!
Beautiful ghost!
Whatever happens in the future is bleak.
The madman on the other side is not just hitting people ’s rice bowls, this is about to smash the pot!
