Chapter 74 Reaching a Consensus
Since Xinsi Technology and other three major overseas chip design software giants joined forces, it can be said that the two parties have completely torn their skins, and there is no need to save face for each other.

Huawei, as the first company to lay out the 5G market, will certainly not be limited to domestic markets.

After all, Tamron chips are aimed at the global market.

Therefore, taking advantage of the soaring domestic heat, the overseas branch also started to promote the Tamron chip and the first 5G flagship phone.

It has the meaning of completely launching a charge against the semiconductor industry.

In the face of Huawei's aggressive performance, the domestic branches of Qualcomm Xinsi Technology and other related companies could not sit still at all, and reported the situation to the headquarters one after another.

But it's worth mentioning that this time Zhou Dehao almost didn't get angry about his high blood pressure.

When the Tamron chip was first released, he had a video call report with the company's CEO, Koronov.

However, the headquarters agreed that chips designed with immature chip design software were not enough to become Qualcomm's opponents, so they did not take it too seriously to formulate countermeasures.

At present, the Tamron chip has shown performance far exceeding their expectations, but the headquarters has thrown the responsibility to him.

Said that he did not figure out the exact strength of the opponent in time, and was reprimanded by his boss through the screen.

If he didn't want to transfer back to the headquarters, he might have turned his back on him long ago.

But no doubt.

Because Tenglong chip is firmly in the top spot in the industry, major overseas related companies can't sit still. In order to ensure that the market share is not occupied by Warwick, a high-level research meeting within the company was held soon.

Discuss how to proceed next.

……

Liganife.

In the core conference room of the Xinsi Technology headquarters building, compared with the relaxed and indifferent last time, Dr. Hubert sat on the main seat at the moment with a gloomy expression and fell into silence.

The senior executives of the company sitting on both sides of the conference table didn't know how to speak.

Besides.

On the screen not far away, two other video images of similar scenes were displayed.

It is the remaining two industry giants.

The three companies that provide chip design services occupy more than 90.00% of the global market share, and they have always maintained a balanced state. When encountering external pressure, they must advance and retreat together to ensure that their own interests are not damaged.

When Huawei just announced the use of domestic chip design software, they analyzed and judged that Yinglong EDA could not meet the artificial intelligence plus cloud technology mentioned in the promotional video.

In the end, they adopted the right, trying to force the other party to find them again for new cooperation.

As a result, the development of things was quite different from what they expected.

The 5G chip Tenglong designed by Yinglong EDA actually outperforms Qualcomm by a large margin in terms of performance.

And without any crashes running smoothly.

What does this mean?
It shows that this newly developed chip design software is no worse than theirs, and it is even possible that the other party has really realized the new route of artificial intelligence plus cloud technology.

The essential.

There are also macro blocks that can be directly used in chip design.

Moreover, from Yinglong's previous promotional video, it can be seen that the entire charging model is to be more favorable to them. Now that the name of the Tamron chip has been corrected, I am afraid that the Asian market will soon be occupied by Yinglong.

Maybe even these overseas chip design companies, their old customers have to switch to others.

After all, for most companies, they only value their own interests.

"I didn't call you here in a daze. If you have any good suggestions, just say it."

At this time, Hubert obviously also noticed the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room, and then raised his eyes and immediately gave a speech, his whole person looked much more serious than usual.

For others, it is the first time in many years that they have encountered chip design software that can compete with their products.

But although there is not much experience to learn from, after hearing what the big boss said, he had to pick up the topic.

"Doctor, it is a fact that Yinglong EDA poses a huge threat to us. We must not let him continue to grow, otherwise it will lead to a reshuffle of the industry."

"I suggest contacting the fabs we are working with immediately and asking them to ban foundries for chips designed using Yinglong EDA."

"This method is indeed feasible, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it based on our right to speak."

"In the future, Yan Kingdom will definitely support Yinglong EDA vigorously, and there is not much time left for us."

"This Tamron chip has become the highest-performance chip in the world. I believe that chip companies such as Qualcomm do not want them to achieve such great success in the 5G market. We can jointly apply to the above for restrictions on them."

When Hubert heard this, his brows quickly relaxed, and he seemed to agree with this suggestion very much.

Then he cast his eyes on the other two company executives in the video, and asked directly, "What do you two think about this matter?"

"I have no problem with this industry being a small part of the huge semiconductor market that doesn't need new chip design software."

"Proceed as soon as possible."

Among the three companies, Xinsi Technology has the largest market share. Now that Hubert has made a decision, the heads of the other two companies will definitely not have any objections. After all, this matter is to safeguard their own interests.

However, Future Technology, as a company established only two years ago, was able to develop such a level of chip design software, which really surprised Hubert and even scared him.

So much so that after the meeting, I still couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a company that can create miracles, but it must not be left alone."

……

Considering the fear spreading speed of Yinglong EDA and Tenglong chips in the industry, Xinsi Technology moved very fast, without giving the future technology side any time to react.

After contacting Qualcomm's CEO Kolonov, the various parties hit it off immediately.

A common request is that major fabs are not allowed to manufacture chips designed by Yinglong EDA.

Perhaps this request was just in line with the plan above, and it was successfully answered accurately in less than ten days.

The high-level executives officially issued an announcement, announcing that the fab would no longer be allowed to accept chip foundry orders using Yinglong EDA designs from now on. The most important thing was that Goog also stated that it would stop providing operating system services to Huawei.

For mobile phone manufacturers, this news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which is equivalent to being completely cut off.

When the relevant information was transmitted back to China, it immediately caused an uproar. No one thought that the overseas company would act so decisively and quickly.

Not only did it rush to the top searches in a very short period of time, but it also caused heated discussions among people from all walks of life and netizens, and almost everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
