Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 140 The Rise of Chips ([-])

After hearing the actions of Huawei, Ziguang, and Huada Semiconductor, Zhang Haijun of Huaxin International could not help but fall silent.

Sure enough, Yinhe Technology has already made a move. He knows that Yinhe Technology is behind all this.

Just like the layout of Galaxy Technology in the electric vehicle, battery, and wind power industries, because Galaxy Technology generally has a maximum of three admissions.

Of course, there are no absolutes. After all, there are many subdivisions in the chip industry, such as mobile phone chips, computer chips, TV chips, etc., or SPU chips, GPU chips, storage chips, screen chips, electronic control chips, etc.

What Huaxin International needs to do now is to seek a license from Galaxy Technology as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be out of the question.

In fact, not only Huaxin International thinks this way, Yangtze River Storage, Hua Hong Semiconductor, China Resources Microelectronics, and Huali Microelectronics have all sent people to Shanmei.

The CEOs of some companies come to Shanmei in person, and it is impossible not to come.

According to Galaxy Technology's industry plan, companies that are not included in the list will undoubtedly die. This is no joke.

If you look at the battery industry and the electric vehicle industry, you will know that several giants are now playing, and small and medium players will either become affiliated or go bankrupt.

Galaxy Technology's dominance over the industry is very strong.

If Huaxin International and Huahong Semiconductor don't get a quota as soon as possible, they will only be eliminated by then. Of course, they also know that Yinhe Technology is notorious for its domineering and harshness.

……

5 month 11 day.

Huawei held a chip conference in Pengcheng.

Yu Mingguang stood on the stage and said vigorously: "Today Huawei will bring the revolutionary Kirin 1000 chip, please watch the big screen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen behind him displayed rows of data and patterns.

5nm process.

Computing speed: peak value 460 billion operations per second, average value 420 billion operations per second.

Unit energy consumption decreased by 64%, unit heat generation decreased by 83%...

Rows of data all reflect the powerful performance of Kirin 1000, which is simply crushing for Qualcomm Snapdragon, Sydney, and Sanxin.

Now Qualcomm, Sanxin, and Sydney are only hovering at 60 billion times per second, while Kirin 1000 directly improves the performance by seven to eight times.

Through the webcast, Cook, Li Jianxi, and the president of Qualcomm, who were watching Huawei's new product launch at this time, all looked ugly.

This gap makes them a little breathless. If it is more than 100 billion times per second, they are confident that with their technical reserves, they can narrow or even surpass the gap.

But the computing speed reaches 420 billion times per second, unless they immediately adopt 5nm process chips, it will be difficult to catch up.

The problem is that they don't have a 5-nanometer process now, let alone a 5-nanometer process, and even a 7-nanometer process is not yet mature.

Facing this kind of cheating enemy, Sydney and Qualcomm can only say one thing: how to break it?
Of course, it's not just Sanxin, Sydney, and Qualcomm who look ugly.

Chip foundries such as Taijidian, UMC, and GlobalFoundries are also in a heavy mood.

The reason why their hearts are heavy is mainly because Huawei's Kirin chips are not manufactured by them. This is not only a loss of a customer, but also an increase of a competitor. They will be happy to hell.

Similarly, domestic mobile phone manufacturers are also very nervous. If Hua Wei makes a big killer like the Kirin 1000, if there is no chip with similar performance, the competitiveness will drop.

Rebs pressed the back of his neck, obviously the expensive Kirin 1000 made him feel a lot of pressure.

Now whether it is Qualcomm Snapdragon or Sydney chips, they are all backward products overnight.

Another Galaxy Semiconductor, which has 5nm chip production capacity, has not launched products such as mobile phone chips.

Do you want to choose Unisplendour's 12-nanometer chip? Rebs thought in distress.

wait?
Rebs suddenly reacted, saying what happened to the chip production lines of Ziguang, Huada Semiconductor, and HiSilicon?
Is it different from HiSilicon's production line? Or is it the same?
If they are the same, it means that Ziguang and Huada Semiconductor also have the production technology of 5nm chips.

The more he thought about it, the brighter Rebus' eyes became.

He quickly found the phone number of Ziguang Group President Yang Zibi and called him.

"Hello, is this Mr. Yang from Tsinghua Unigroup? I'm Rebus from Wheat."

"Oh! So it's Mr. Lei! What's the matter?"

After exchanging greetings with Yang Zibi, Rebs asked straight to the point:

"Mr. Yang, may I ask if your chip production line is the same as HiSilicon's?"

"Why do you ask? Our production lines are all made by Yinhe Technology, of course they are the same." Yang Zibi replied in a daze.

Sure enough!Rebus suppressed his excitement and said quickly:
"Mr. Yang, so you can also produce 5nm chips?"

"Um... This is theoretically possible to produce, but we are designing 7nm chips now, and 5nm is not so fast." Yang Zibi obviously heard Rebus's idea.

"7nm? Mr. Yang, let's cooperate! Wheat is willing to bear half of the research and development costs. When the time comes to develop a 7nm chip, how about giving priority to supplying it to Wheat?"

"This..." Of course Yang Zibi knew that this matter was beneficial to Ziguang, but a businessman is talking about business, and it is a little bit more tricky, so he is waiting for the price.

After a while, the two confronted each other for several rounds, and finally reached a verbal agreement.

Rebus, who was afraid of long nights and dreams, rushed to Ziguang himself and signed a contract with Yang Zibi.

……

And Meizu, Oupai mobile phones and VO mobile phones are also in a hurry now.

In the face of powerful marketing, various mobile phone manufacturers have to cross the sea and show their talents.

Some went to Tsinghua Unigroup and Huada Semiconductor, and some found other ways, such as Duan Yongzheng, the behind-the-scenes investor of Opie and VO.

He is now discussing with Huaxin International, planning to invest in Huaxin International, and then strive to obtain Galaxy Technology's chip production line.

For a while, Shanmei became lively again, and a large number of semiconductor companies at home and abroad sent people over one after another, hoping to purchase the chip production line of Yinhe Technology.

Of course, they are doomed to return in vain, because Galaxy Technology stated that the current chip production lines of HiSilicon, Ziguang, and Huada are leased by Galaxy Technology.

In addition, these three chip manufacturing companies are also joint stock companies of Galaxy Technology, which are equivalent to subsidiaries of Galaxy Technology.

Upon hearing the news, many people backed down, and of course some were still unwilling to give up, and continued to spend their time in Shanmei.

For example, Li Fuzhen of Sanxin, Duan Yongzheng of Backgammon, Zhang Haijun of Huaxin International, etc., they do not intend to give up.

Even if it is a joint venture and leased production line, they also want to obtain this qualification.

This is a 5nm chip production line. Once you get this production line, it means you can raise your company's chip manufacturing level to world-class.

In the world's chip manufacturing industry, Yinhe Technology is the world's top, Huawei Hisilicon is the world's first-class, and Tsinghua Unigroup and Huada Semiconductor are quasi-first-class.

However, Intel, Sanxin, and Taiji Electric, which have been ranked among the top in the world before, have fallen to the second-rate.

It can be seen that the horror of Galaxy Technology has reversed the pattern of the world's chip manufacturing industry at once.

If it weren't for the insufficient production capacity of the current 5nm production line, the chip foundry industry would be bloodbathed by the chip manufacturing companies in the Milky Way.

But even if the current production is insufficient, Taijidian and the others already feel that something is wrong. If this situation continues, they will take jujube pills.
