Chapter 480: Only a Few Billion, What Are You Doing with Semiconductors?
In addition to the system, Jiuzhou Semiconductor's entire industrial system also has communication protocols between many devices that are also different from foreign semiconductor companies.
The equipment communication of foreign semiconductor companies uses the Tibco RV protocol, and the system and the machine communicate through SECS/GEM to realize the control of the machine.
However, the Jiuzhou Semiconductor system is all encrypted protocols, and the communication is also encrypted communication. Even if you want to replace the equipment, you must use the corresponding genuine official equipment, and it must be unlocked before it can be used normally.
When companies such as Xiaxin Technology and Dajiang Storage began normal production using semiconductor systems from Jiuzhou Technology...
Some special institutions in Yanjing, major semiconductor companies in the Jiangxi Delta, HiSilicon Kirin Research Department and other corporate institutions have fallen into an inexplicable atmosphere.
Wu Hu, chairman of Loongson Xiake, said in an exclusive interview with media reporters: "Five years ago, 'chip IP, software ecology, and chip production' were the three major pain points of Daxia's chip industry, and they were also the three major problems for Daxia's technology industry to open up internal circulation. We have poor people, poor equipment, poor resources and a good environment.
As the leading domestic chip company at the time, Loongson Xiake started from the basic instruction architecture and continuously launched products with performance approaching the mainstream level of the market, which attracted the attention of the market.
But I never imagined that in just five years, we and our partners would have self-produced high-quality wafers, advanced production equipment, and a semiconductor industry system that is even higher than the top levels abroad.
Jiuzhou Technology, led by Gu Qing, is like a beacon that shines on me on the thorny road. They have developed their own operating system and standardized hardware compatibility. Through the unified system, the architecture is directly compatible with the operating system. Although they have not really disclosed the programming language on their operating system, I know that they have long disdained to fight in the domestic quagmire.
As a young man who is not yet thirty years old, Gu Qing has achieved something that I have not been able to achieve after decades of hard work.
I heard that the overall average age of Jiuzhou Technology’s R&D personnel is not more than forty years old. I am very lucky that we have such a group of young people in Daxia who are not afraid of hard work to learn the Tiankeng profession that has been passed down by word of mouth. "
When saying this, Wu Hu, chairman of Loongson Xiake, was full of tears.
Last year, the Shanghai Stock Exchange officially accepted Loongson Xiake’s Science and Technology Innovation Board IPO application. The prospectus shows that it will raise 3.5 billion yuan to invest in the research and development and industrialization of advanced process chips and high-performance general-purpose graphics processor chips, as well as to supplement the company's liquidity. Among them, 1.25 billion will be used in advanced chip research and development and related industries, and about 1 billion will be used in high-performance GPUs.
This amount of money is simply an astronomical amount for an individual. But for the semiconductor industry, that's really a drop in the bucket.
It is said that Xia Weihi's initial R&D investment when HiSilicon was founded was 400 million U.S. dollars a year. According to the exchange rate at the time, it was almost three billion Xia Yuan.
According to Xia Wei's report, in the past 10 years, Xia Wei's investment in R&D was 400 billion, and chip R&D accounted for about 40%. That means the investment in chip R&D may be around 160 billion.
Of course, this is a rough derivation of Xia Wei Tengfei’s total investment in HiSilicon chips over the past ten years, but it can also be compared to how “poor” Loongson Xia Ke is.
However, although Loongson is a little poorer, it has been doing practical things. Unlike some companies, they bought an architecture license and started to brag about concepts. It was so popular that investors no longer believed it, so they quickly jumped into the next trend.
In addition to the chairman of Loongson speaking out, Xia Wei, the rotating chairman, also stood up.
He emphasized: "Although our partner Jiuzhou Technology has done well enough, Xiawei will continue to invest in HiSilicon and at the same time help front-end partners improve and build their own capabilities. I believe there will be a company in a few years A more powerful HiSilicon.”
There is a surge of excitement and energy between the lines.
"Xia Wei has the world's leading chip design and R&D capabilities. In the past, the domestic semiconductor industry lacked process and production problems, but now that these problems have been successfully solved, Kirin chips will bloom again. The Kirin 9000 series is not the end. HiSilicon Kirin will be in the future There will be stronger and more advanced chips!”
After saying this, the rotating chairman did not forget to shout: "5G technology is at the center of the future technology and industrial world. Daxia is already in a leading position in the 5G field. This field is very important and there will definitely be many people." They don’t expect 5G to be fully completed in Daxia, but the results will definitely disappoint them.
Xia Wei will not give in!
After the interview, some rumors leaked out: "Kirin 9010 is under design and is likely to be launched next year. Xiaxin Technology is already expanding the production capacity of Kirin 9000+."
This has excited many pollen. In market research, more and more pollen choose to wait and see, waiting for Xia Wei's new flagship.
And after Xia Wei made such a move, he once promised to surpass Xia Wei's rice, how could he fall behind?
Ever since the rice phone 5C was equipped with the Pinecone S1 processor, there has been very little new good news from Rice’s own chip manufacturer, Pinecone.
Even the news that the 12 Pro will be equipped with the Pengpai P1 charging chip for the first time has been a hot topic some time ago, but soon afterward, some people conducted "enthusiastic science popularization".
“You don’t think that this Peerce P1 can compete with HiSilicon Kirin, do you? Come on, it’s just a charging chip. Even this chip is not entirely the result of rice’s self-development, but an OEM chip developed by Nanxin Semiconductor. Produce."
Regarding such rumors, the Legal Department of Rice has taken action, and Nanxin Semiconductor has also issued a statement to refute the rumors for the Rice Paper P1 chip.
But because this rumor was so true, many people saw more "self-researched" truths.
It cannot be said that there is no technical content, it can only be said that the technical content is actually not much, it is just a little bit of design, and the difficulty of OEM manufacturing is not high.
Suddenly rice became a joke again.
I don’t know if it’s just a bad year. The closer Rice is to Qualcomm, the harder it will be.
Although it makes more money than when it was first founded, its reputation and brand image are getting worse and worse.
Suiren Company, a company owned by Jiuzhou Technology, has become famous in recent years, but it is very easy to get the two things that rice dreams of, the glory of domestic products and the top flagship.
And this is a consensus reached by professionals in the industry and the general public.
For the subsequent listing, Dong Qi, the vice president of Suiren Company, gave a rare interview to the media.
"Thanks to the rapid development of Daxia's semiconductor industry, Suiren Company will release more approachable products this year, not only mobile phones, but also more sci-fi and fun products to meet everyone."
He even revealed: "This time, high-end products are definitely democratized. In the past, the price was high because the production cost remained high, but now that domestic manufacturers are working hard, the cost has dropped sharply."
ps: Parallel world, it’s nonsense.
Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes.
Good night, Makabaka.
