Chapter 99 Add another fire
In the past, due to the technical limitations of lithography machines, it was always difficult for China to have an absolute right to speak in the semiconductor market.

Basically, it is mainly to purchase overseas chips or let fabs produce OEMs.

It can be said that it is controlled by people everywhere.

Key people can also cancel the cooperation at any time.

Now the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully developed a top-level lithography machine, and the process has directly reached 3 nanometers. It has successfully achieved corner overtaking for overseas chip production technology. The benefits and conveniences brought are absolutely unimaginable.

In addition, this greatly enhances the sense of pride of the people.

As the popularity of domestic top lithography machines continues to spread, major news media organizations such as Taiwan's Huaxin News Agency have also carried out special reports after confirming the facts.

In addition to immediately deciding to shoot a documentary, it is also planned to increase the time for the evening news broadcast.

It is enough to see the importance of the above.

After watching the video released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many netizens still had some doubts in their hearts. They couldn't believe that the domestic lithography machine technology was advancing by leaps and bounds like a rocket.

It always feels a little magical.

It wasn't until I found out that all the official media accounts I was familiar with came off to congratulate, that I completely dispelled the last bit of doubt in my heart.

The only words left in his mouth were awesome.

of course.

Many people regret this too.

I regret that I didn't believe the announcement of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but chose to dismiss it.

After all, if you bought fund stocks in related industries years ago, taking advantage of the unstoppable rise of the domestic semiconductor industry, you can get a lot of profits no matter what.

Especially those who used to ridicule others for buying funds, now they can't wait to give themselves two big blows.

What a sin!
However, although there is no regret medicine in the world, but with the influence brought by the top-level lithography machine that produces 3-nanometer chips, I believe that there will still be a lot of room for growth after the market opens after the Spring Festival.

It depends on whether you have the courage.

In addition, compared with the excitement and excitement of netizens, domestic companies in related industries responded more quickly, and immediately held a core strategic planning meeting to re-plan the company's subsequent development.

at the same time.

Shenzhen.

Yuelan Lake Villa.

Peng Xiangqian, who got the news, drove here regardless of the Spring Festival holiday, and reported the latest situation to Ren Yuanwei to discuss the company's next move.

"Dong Ren, you should have seen the news about the domestic top-level lithography machine, right?"

Inside the living room.

As soon as Peng Xiangqian met Ren Yuanwei, he quickly said that although he was quite calm, the excitement in his heart could be seen from the emotions revealed in his words.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be here at this time.

"Sit down and talk."

Ren Yuanwei casually greeted Peng to sit down, picked up the tea that the nanny had just made on the table, and then spoke with a smile: "Now there are relevant content everywhere on the Internet, I don't care if I don't see it."

"Yeah, this incident was too sudden, completely beyond our expectations." Hearing Peng Xiangqian nodded in agreement.

Different from other companies.

Huawei already has some cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so they have a clearer understanding of the research progress of domestic lithography machines. Although they are confident in this, they also understand that within a few years of development, they will not be able to catch up with overseas technological levels.

Now it is suddenly announced that the domestic lithography machine technology has reached the 3-nanometer level, and the gap in the middle is really big.

It's like being dragged by the progress bar.

"I'm afraid the Chinese Academy of Sciences can make such a breakthrough in the research and development of lithography machine technology in a short period of time, which should have something to do with Xu Lei."

"We are so lucky to have such a talented partner!"

Peng Xiangqian listened to Ren Yuanwei's response, and then seemed to understand something, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Director Ren, you mean..."

"Before he suggested that we hurry up and start the design of 3nm or even 1nm chips, I suspected that he might have conquered the manufacturing technology of the top lithography machine, and now it seems that this is the case."

Seeing Peng Xiangqian's surprised face, Ren Yuanwei took a sip of the tea, showing that he had guessed it a long time ago.

"According to the information we got, Mr. Xu is indeed not in Binjiang City during this time." After being reminded by Ren Yuanwei, Peng Xiangqian suddenly realized.

I just felt that a big earthquake broke out in my heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

It is unimaginable that Xu Lei, in addition to his strong strength in the field of software technology and artificial intelligence, can also show a talent beyond cognition in the development of sophisticated hardware equipment.

Especially looking back on my half-life experience, I just feel how mediocre it is.

It can only be said that in the face of absolute talent, no matter how hard you try to catch up, you will never be able to cross the deep ditch that separates you.

And when Peng Xiangqian was still immersed in this feeling, Ren Yuanwei's voice suddenly came from beside his ear: "How is the design of our new Tamron chip?"

"At present, the 3nm Tenglong 980 chip has entered the stage of simulation testing. If the domestic top fab can be built as soon as possible and realize large-scale production, we should be able to start tape-out soon."

As Peng Xiangqian's words fell, Ren Yuanwei immediately fell into deep thought, as if he was deciding something.

After a pause of about ten seconds, he turned his head again and told Peng Xiangqian: "Hold a press conference first to officially launch our Tamron 980 chip, and this chip will still be equipped on mid-to-high-end models at the same time."

"Since the top domestic lithography machines are so hot right now, let's take a look."

"Maybe I can add fire to it by the way!"

Peng Xiangqian and Ren Yuanwei have worked together for so long, so they can understand each other's intentions very well, so after hearing this order, he immediately understood that Ren Yuanwei wanted to use Tenglong 980 to create pressure on overseas chip companies.

You must know that well-known companies such as Pingguo Qualcomm Sanxing are still designing 5-nanometer chips.

Thinking of taking advantage of Warwick's inability to produce Tamron chips, after the release of its own chips, it regained the top spot in the performance rankings.

And strive to eat up this extra market share.

But now Xu Lei has developed a top-level lithography machine, and can produce the 3-nanometer Tamron 980 for Huawei. Once this chip enters the market, the products of any other chip company will lose their color in an instant.

It is doomed that the market share in their own hands will be taken away.

Even if they also cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the most they can produce are 5nm chips.

There is no comparison at all.

Wanting to understand the reason, Peng Xiangqian didn't dare to delay. He didn't even bother to drink tea, so he got up and promised: "Don't worry, Chairman, I will take care of this matter myself."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Just as he took a step, he was stopped by Ren Yuanwei again.

"Wait a moment."

"Let the company send someone to get in touch with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and if they have any needs, try to meet them."

"Okay." Peng Xiangqian turned around and nodded in response, then left here straight away.

Because Ren Yuanwei is very aware of Peng Xiangqian's dedication to work, and now is the time when he is full of passion, it is almost impossible for him to spend the Spring Festival holiday in peace.

Only then did Peng Xiangqian's arrangement be acquiesced.

Until Peng Xiangqian's figure disappeared from sight, Ren Yuanwei raised his head and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and murmured a few words thoughtfully.

"Presumably for a long time to come, some people should not be able to sleep, and it should give them a headache."

……

Just as Ren Yuanwei expected, Peng Xiangqian hadn't been as excited and happy as this time for many years, so that what he thought of was to hold a press conference as soon as possible to officially launch the 3nm Tamron 980 chip.

For this reason, he not only increased the amount of red envelopes for starting work, but also asked his employees to go to work two days in advance to prepare for the press conference.

The design department was also required to complete the final verification of the Tamron 980 chip in the shortest possible time.

that's it.

Under the orderly progress of all work.

The eighth day of the new year.

Huawei held an online chip conference in the business venue of the headquarters building.

He also stated at the press conference that the Tamron 980 will be produced by domestic top-level lithography machines for the first time, and will be equipped on the upcoming high-end flagship machines and Xingyao mid-range models.

In addition, the exclusive chips required by its tablet and notebook computer brands are also in the process of design.

As for the audience in the live broadcast room of the press conference, they did not expect that Huawei would design a 3nm chip so quickly. After careful consideration, they finally figured out the reason.

I understand that Huawei may have been in contact with the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a long time.

So the 3nm chip design was carried out in advance.

As a result, a new wave of heated discussions immediately arose. During the press conference, the content of the barrage was almost invisible to the naked eye in the live broadcast room.

I only know that the related heat is much higher than when the Tamron chip was first released.

And what makes everyone most happy is that this 3nm Tamron 980 chip will also be installed on Xingyao mobile phones, so that more people will be able to experience the powerful performance brought by Tamron 980.

The essential.

This chip will be truly localized.

It is also because of this that when the domestic top lithography machine is discussed after the press conference, this Tamron 980 chip will always be brought along by the way.

"This Spring Festival is really exciting. There are so many good news in a row, and I still feel in the fog."

"Domestic chips have finally risen, and I have waited too long for this day."

"Didn't it mean that the development technology of top-level lithography machines is very difficult, and I feel that we have made the technology surpass overseas without much effort."

"I want to know who made this top-level lithography machine, it's really too powerful."

"I originally wanted to buy a Xingyao mobile phone equipped with Tamron 910, but it seems that I can wait patiently for a while now."

"This wave must be supported. Putting such an advanced chip on a mid-range mobile phone, the price/performance ratio is likely to become the highest mobile phone in history. Sure enough, Director Ren has not forgotten us fans."

"I don't know if the sales volume will break the record by then."

"I heard that the main station will shoot a documentary soon, and then we should be able to know who the engineer of this lithography machine is?"
