Chapter 166 3-Star Sneak Attack

After Samsung announced the development conference, it didn't seem to cause any reaction from the market, at least in China, it didn't even have the qualifications to be on the news. But people in the industry are very sensitive. After all, this is Samsung, a Samsung that shared prosperity and ruin with Korea.

Moreover, Samsung has done a very good job of keeping secrets in this press conference. It only said that the theme is the new era of Korean industry. A 3nm chip has been produced, but as a competitor, there is no need to disclose it to the media.

Five days later, the Samsung press conference was held at the most famous Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul, Korea. After the press conference officially started, everyone discovered that this press conference was attended by Lee Jae-yong in person, and it was Lee Jae-yong who gave a speech in person.

After Lee Jae-yong took the stage, he habitually boasted about Samsung for a while, and then surprised everyone by inviting an important guest, Canon Chairman Fujio Mitarai.

Immediately afterwards, Lee Jae-yong announced that Samsung has invested 2.5 billion yuan in Canon to acquire 5% of Canon's shares, and has achieved in-depth cooperation with Canon, and the focus of this cooperation is: lithography machine!

As soon as the news came out, the audience was shocked. On the one hand, they were shocked by the strength of Samsung. Canon is one of the major technology companies in the small island country. It is not something you can invest in if you want to. Another shock is that Canon actually wants to restart the lithography machine project. ?

At that time, AMSL, Canon and Nikon were three pillars in the lithography machine market, but Canon and Nikon did not seize the opportunity later. In addition, the domestic economic development difficulties at that time led to AMSL thriving, and Canon and Nikon were completely stepped on the ground. After a few years of dying struggle, Canon has actually completely launched the competition of lithography machines, while Nikon is lingering on. This is something everyone knows.

Therefore, if Canon wants to develop a lithography machine, it can indeed be regarded as a restart. But on the other hand, it also shows that Canon’s so-called withdrawal from the competition may have been just an appearance. Samsung is willing to spend so much money to win the cooperation of this lithography machine, which shows that Canon must be secretly working hard.

The following news from Samsung confirmed this point. Under the cooperation between Samsung and Canon, the world's first 3nm-level lithography machine was successfully rolled off the assembly line at Canon's factory! And it was half a year ago!

"Samsung and Canon actually blocked the news so tightly?" Many media felt that their careers had been hit. Such an important matter had been concealed by Samsung and Canon for nearly a year, and their dignity as media people was gone.

When everyone was still in the process of Samsung and Canon cooperating to produce lithography machines and breaking the technical barriers of AMSL and Mulong Technology, Lee Jae-yong immediately announced an even more shocking news: Samsung successfully produced 3nm process mobile phone chips!

There was a sensation in the audience.

Samsung immediately demonstrated the world's first 3nm process mobile phone chip: Pluto 6560.

Samsung no longer continues to use the previous chip name Orion, but created a new name.

Li Zairong proudly showed the performance comparison between Pluto 6560 and Kunxin Technology's latest mobile phone chip Kunxin 850. Faced with the abnormal performance of the new architecture of Kunxin 850, Pluto 6560 successfully surpassed 100% in CPU performance, breaking the core technology. global dominance.

Of course, Samsung did not show its performance in the direction of AI. Obviously, this area still cannot shake Mulong Technology, but the substantial overtake of the CPU is enough to make people excited. The sudden rise of Huaxia makes these old giants very uncomfortable. I can't sleep well at night, and now someone has finally surpassed Huaxia, which makes everyone feel a lot more comfortable. This comfort stems from the three major meanings of Samsung's incident this time.

The first point is that Samsung’s chips did not create a new architecture, but used the AST architecture, which is the architecture jointly developed by several major chip giants in the United States. This shows that AST can perform better with the support of further chip technology. , the second is to break the position of Core Technology in the chip industry,

In this way, everyone will not have to be forced to cooperate with Kunxin Technology. Compared with Kunxin Technology, everyone obviously prefers to cooperate with Samsung.

After all, over the years, Samsung and the major giants have established a relationship that is constantly being cut and messed up. Unlike Kunxin Technology and Mulong Technology, which are too clean, so clean that the company is so big that it will not be listed. This kind of cooperation It feels strangely passive.

The third point is that Samsung has given everyone hope. It has been proved by facts that the chip technology can break through the 5nm process, and once it breaks through, the performance improvement will be very terrible. It is possible to invest huge sums of money in technology and strive to defeat Kunxin Technology through technology, which points out the direction for chip giants.

At the same time, Lee Jae-yong announced two other news at the press conference. First, the next flagship phone will be equipped with Pluto 6560, and we will be able to meet you in the second half of the year.

Then Samsung announced that it will make efforts in the field of general-purpose chips, and strive to successfully produce general-purpose chips with a 3nm process within this year.

Samsung's press conference this time triggered a strong reaction from the market, especially Korean netizens instantly GCed.

Korea’s network environment is well-known in the world. Cyber ​​violence is very serious, and it does not distinguish between internal and external. It is very ruthless when spamming its own people, and it will not show mercy when spamming others. Anyway, as long as they are given a chance to spam, they will Just cool. Otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable all over.

So now you can see a lot of words that start to despise Kunxin Technology and even despise Huaxia in the Korean media.

Liu Fan doesn't care much about these things, but what he cares about is the changes in public opinion in the world's media in less than a day. Everyone is obviously very happy to see that Core Technology is surpassed, and even some information about Core Technology chips The negative news broke out.

"It's really time to come." Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh, people want to be good for themselves, their families, and their country. Why don't you bully others? If everyone can do this and seal up the "beast nature" better, the world should be a lot better.

Seeing the continuous ferment of public opinion on the Internet, Liu Fan was about to call Liu Wei to arrange something, but when he picked up the phone, he suddenly wanted to try the mobile assistant, "Dragon Cub, go and see the latest Samsung chip on the Internet." news."

The mobile phone interface entered a translucent state, and the dragon cub didn't respond immediately. Liu Fan knew that he was going to search for news. After about five or six seconds, the dragon cub asked, "Will Samsung this time?" Are you bragging again?"

Liu Fan was amused by the question of the dragon cub. According to the working principle, the dragon cub will process and analyze a large amount of information on keywords in a short period of time and draw conclusions, and then choose a more anthropomorphic way to express it. Unexpectedly, the big The result of data analysis is that Samsung loves to brag about its chips. Liu Fan couldn't help laughing, "Dragon Cub, you said that Huaxia Technology has been overtaken, what should we do?"

Dragon Cub quickly responded, "If you are really Liu Fan of Wood Dragon Technology, then I should be the one to ask you this question."

Liu Fan has been very surprised by the comprehension ability of the dragon cubs in the past few days of testing. As long as the words are not too subtle, the dragon cubs can basically understand them, and Liu Fan has also become more and more clear about the approximate dividing line of understanding. And the way the dragon cub responds is becoming more and more like a real person.

Listening to Long Zai's answer, Liu Fan looked at the phone and smiled knowingly, "Dragon Zai, let's teach them a lesson..."
