Chapter 1783: Smash the Pot

An island in the southeast, Hsinchu.

The semiconductor industry here can be regarded as the engine of the island's economy. When the island's economy took off and became the "Asian Tigers", the driving force came from this. Decades have passed with a flick of a finger, and the bright spot on the island is still only here, but the other side of the strait has truly turned the world upside down.

At this moment, a review meeting is being held in a company that is the world's number one wafer foundry. The host of the meeting held up a light pen and pointed to the projected PPT on the wall, and stated in a painful voice: "We organized manpower and analyzed several samples purchased from the mainland overnight, and the situation was very bad."

On the projected PPT is a picture of the chip with the casing disassembled, and a high-power electron microscope photographed many details on the wafer. Those who can participate in the meeting are all insiders. Looking at the dense and complicated lines in the picture, they all show the dignity of facing an enemy.

"Radiation Electronics has released their 'Radiation 1' series of products, which include not only extremely high-end server and mainframe chips, but also personal digital products for ordinary households. We see this chip now, which is specifically aimed at Intel mainstream Rivals for consumer products.”

The light pen held by the meeting host was shaking all the time, and the light spots were flickering, and a group of people in the meeting room made loud exclamations in front of the picture. Someone asked skeptically, "How can the radiation electronics company in the mainland develop a three-nanometer manufacturing process?"

This question has already been repeatedly raised in the brains of countless people. It is said that the mainland can handle the yield rate of 28 nanometers, and it would be good to advance to 14 nanometers. But it suddenly ran out of the 3-nanometer process technology, which is too powerful.

The smaller the process technology, the higher the difficulty. More transistors, more computing cores, higher frequencies, and faster processing capabilities can be arranged on a wafer per unit area. Even a large island factory is still preparing to use this technology, but it has not yet used this level of manufacturing process.

For a long time, in order to maintain the technology gap with the mainland, a certain island has restricted the transfer of advanced technology. They even continue to join forces with Japan and South Korea to form industrial alliances, and they want to suppress the mainland—they clamor to maintain the status quo, because they want to make money and look down on you.

It's just that the situation is different now that the mainland has pioneered the 3nm technology. The moderator continued: "We have contacted Intel and they are also very concerned about this matter.

According to our analysis, the source of technology used by Radiation Electronics on consumer-grade chips is Eagle Sauce AMD. AMD has also just announced that it has indeed authorized a large number of patents for the use of consumer-grade chips to Radiation Electronics. "

This caused an uproar in the conference room, and someone asked loudly: "Why did AMD do this? Don't they want the current consumer chip market?"

Radiant Electronics entered the server and mainframe market by purchasing relevant patents from IBM Corporation,

Also in the consumer-grade personal computer market, there must be a license, otherwise the sale of chips will violate the patent rights of others. If it is not to tear the face, the basic business rules still have to be followed.

The host of the meeting continued: "The specific agreement between Radiant Electronics and AMD is still unknown to outsiders, but it is reported that they have used billions of dollars plus a large number of advanced patented technologies to make transactions with AMD. The performance of the chips that are now produced It’s clearly a head start.”

In this way, everyone understands. AMD and Intel have battled for years in the PC market. AMD has been firmly suppressed by Intel, and its market share is far inferior to the latter. This is a difficult day. Now it is obvious that the hungry wolf who has collected money to let Radiation Electronics come in to disrupt the situation.

"Intel is in trouble."

"We're in trouble."

"What the hell is Radiant Electronics doing? It wants to grab the market, so why does it release a 3-nanometer process in one go? This time, it skips from 14 to 10, skips to 7 and skips to 5, and it is 3 nanometers directly, with three or four generations in the middle." The technological gap pushed us to the brink at once.”

"The land on the other side has a lot of money. They spend tens of billions to one hundred billions of special funds at every turn. Where can we fight?"

From technology to money, a group of elites in the conference room suddenly lost their temper. They were still a little confident technically, and felt that they would not be easily overtaken by their opponents no matter what, but now they found out——the opponent was just catching up in such a daze, what can you do?

And when it comes to money, this is even more tempered. Foolish TV on the island is discussing every day that 426 on the other side can’t afford tea eggs, but the elites know how rich the TCP is on the other side of the strait—the best city on a certain island looks like the urban-rural fringe of the mainland.

The semiconductor industry is all about capital and technology, and now they can't compete for both, so what a fool!

"Don't panic, be calm." The boss of the company spoke in the conference room, "We are facing a difficult situation now, can it be more difficult than when we started our business? Isn't it just that there is an additional competitor with high technology, and we are also preparing to establish a Jiangjia has put into production a 3nm process."

As soon as the boss spoke, everyone could only settle down. The next topic is naturally how to deal with it - to speed up the construction of a new factory in Yingjiangjia, to update its technical level, and to enhance its competitiveness.

Nothing more than these things myself.

"Also, we should cooperate with Intel. They should also face the competition of Radiation Electronics, and they will definitely not be happy." The boss of the company was calm and calm, "Shouldn't Intel also cooperate with Radiation Electronics?"

"No, no." The host of the meeting quickly shook his head, "Radiation Electronics originally wanted to spend money to buy Intel's patents related to the X86 architecture, but Intel flatly refused. Now Intel is trying to sue Radiation Electronics, because the details of the patents are still unknown. You can find a lot of clues.”

Hearing that Intel, the industry leader, would rather die than surrender, the atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed. The boss of the company even said cheerfully: "Look, we still have friends. We can also win over Samsung from Nanbang, Toshiba from Footbath,..."

Listening to the boss Balabala's speech, the meeting room became much more cheerful. Even the host of the meeting laughed straight away, as calm as if he had found a backbone. It's just that the boss can't stop talking, and everyone feels heavy when he stops-the smile on the face can't cover the pain in the heart.

It's easy to make money by pulling your legs apart, but now it's hard to rely on talent haha.

Uh..., no!

It is obvious that it is easy to make money by relying on technology accumulation, but now it is exhausting to catch up. No matter how you look at it, this is not a victory, is it? The mainland can produce 3 nanometers today, but what will they produce tomorrow? The speed of catching up and surpassing is too scary.

And just when a group of people were trying to calm themselves down, someone outside the meeting room suddenly broke in and shouted, "Chairman, it's not good. That radiation electronics company has gone crazy."

"What's wrong?" Everyone was shocked.

The "3 nanometer" thing is enough to cause headaches, what else can't be a disaster? Everyone's heart is very heavy now, so don't mess around, right?

The visitor continued: "Radiation Electronics announced to the outside world that it will open its technology patent library to mainland semiconductor companies free of charge to seek common development. They expressed their hope to introduce more social funds to develop a better future."

Fuck!

Nice ghost!

The future is bleak no matter what.

The lunatic on the other side didn't just smash people's jobs, they wanted to smash the pot!
