The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide.

Chapter 372 Final Chapter
With the release of Mphone4, the war between Microsoft and Matrix in the field of smartphones has officially begun. Matrix's global publicity and distribution mechanism is in operation. They want to convey to every consumer how powerful the new technology used in Mphone4 is.

Marketing is a constant thing. Only good products and good marketing strategies can achieve success. Even if Apple has firmly grasped the right to interpret smartphones, it still needs to invest heavily in marketing.

Not to mention the Matrix, who has yet to secure her throne.

From the introduction at Lei Jun's press conference, it is difficult to see any breakthrough in hardware quality of Mphone 4 compared to Surface light, but when consumers actually experience it, they can feel the obvious difference.

The overall performance of Mphone4 is at least one step better than Microsoft's new phone. This experience has made Mphone4 lead the way outside North America after the two mobile phones were launched, and a large number of user reviews.

Originally, MOS's software ecosystem was much better than Microsoft's. The advantages accumulated in the past allowed MOS to accumulate a large number of applications. The result of Microsoft's efforts to catch up was just to let some big developers copy their software into a Windows environment. Most small developers and individual developers do not have this strength.

They can only look on one side.

Mphone4 has better hardware quality and better software ecology, so consumers will naturally vote with their feet.

At first, Surface Light was able to overtake Mphone 4 in terms of sales through publicity and the novelty of the voice assistant. As time went by, the gap between the two parties became wider and wider.

Except for one place, and that's Amerikan.

Because the only country that cannot use these advanced technologies is America, Washington's executive order has resulted in all Mphone4 sold in America being special editions for North America.

This North American special edition has been castrated in many technologies, not only the mobile phone CPU, but also high refresh rate and true wireless Bluetooth. These technologies are gone.

True wireless Bluetooth is also due to administrative orders on chips. Bluetooth chips using the latest technology are all produced locally in China.

As for the high refresh rate, the chip power consumption has not been reduced. Blindly going to the high refresh rate will only destroy the battery life. Battery life is still much more important than the high refresh rate.

So much so that a large number of Mphone4s were smuggled from the U.S.-Mexico border and the Maple Leaf Country to America. All users who have experienced the real Mphone4 and the North American special edition Mphone4 will complain about Washington's policy. The more you suppress it, not only will China not be defeated, but it will Come up with more competitive products and useless administrative orders should be cancelled.

Mphone4 has become the most successful smartphone in history, with more than [-] million units sold across all models.

Because their lives were affected, the people did not enjoy the enjoyment they should have, while the industry was shocked. Everyone wanted to understand how Xinxin Technology did it and directly advanced the chip manufacturing process for two generations.

The results of AMD's talks in China soon came out. After AMD's CEO returned, he was the first to announce that he would join forces with New Core Technology to create the world's most advanced computer processors, which would be sold outside North America.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Intel had to get production capacity orders from Xinxin even if it could bear a high premium.

With the peace talks between major chip manufacturers, this round of Washington’s crackdown strategy has officially expired.

It is not yet time for a full-scale war, and Washington has not taken any further measures.

After Surface Light failed outside of North America, Bill Gates came to the conclusion that maybe Microsoft didn't have the genes to make hardware, and they shouldn't make any hardware.Microsoft has always been a very enterprising giant. After Apple became a big success with iPods, Microsoft immediately followed up and roped in Philips and Samsung Electronics to jointly develop music players in an attempt to suppress iPods.

Of course it failed.

The only thing Microsoft can be considered a bit of a splash in the hardware field is the Xbox.

On the other hand, after achieving phased results in the chip field, Zhou Xin focused most of his energy on the localization of the semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence.

After entering 2011, Xinxin Technology's chip manufacturing process broke through to 28nm. At this stage, combined with NVIDIA's graphics card specifically for AI training, Tencent Research Institute successfully developed the "unparalleled" Go AI.

Zhou Xin did not use his unique skills to hold a press conference to tell the world like later generations. Alphago needed to do this because its R&D team needed to use its reputation to obtain resources and obtain funding for the next step of R&D.

Tencent Research Institute does not need it, Zhou Xin will continue to provide money.

Zhou Xin took "Exquisite Art" to Yanjing to show the progress of AI technology to the decision-makers. By combining the phased results of AI with the concept of AI technology singularity, he obtained more resource support from Yanjing.

After 2016, Zhou Xin has changed the world beyond recognition, so Zhou Xin thought it would be better to make the changes more drastic.

First, we negotiated with Europa, Neon, and Korea to kick Xinxin out of the industrial chain.

In fact, she also wants to ban Xiaomi in these places, but the problem is banning Xiaomi and other Chinese manufacturers, unless you ban all Chinese smartphones.

Other Chinese manufacturers still use Xinxin Technology's CPUs. Combined with Nvidia's move of R&D to China, the gap between China's chip manufacturing and GPUs has become very small.

Xinxin has taken advantage of the smartphone industry wave to cultivate a large number of domestic semiconductor companies.

The best time window has been missed. China's semiconductors are only one generation behind at most, and the one-generation gap is already negligible.

This is equivalent to giving up China's market.

Until 2020, the year when Zhou Xinyuan died in time and space.

The strategy they adopted this time was to relocate and relocate foreign assets to developing countries and regions on a large scale, and then use Neon and Korea's consumer electronics brands, combined with Southeast Asia's labor advantages and local tax advantages, to attack China on a global scale. brand.

　I will write a final review later and summarize it well.
