Chapter 480: It’s only a few billion, what kind of semiconductor are you playing with?
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 adopts the TibcoRV protocol. The system and the machine communicate through SECS/GEM to realize the control of the machine.
But Kyushu 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...
Certain special institutions in Yanjing, major semiconductor companies located in the Yangtze River 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 the chip industry in Daxia, and also the technology industry in Daxia. To clear up the three major blockages in internal circulation, we have poor people and poor equipment. 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.
< br>But I never thought that it would only be five years In a short time, we and our partners have self-produced high-quality wafers, advanced production equipment, and a semiconductor industry system that is higher than the top level in foreign countries.
Jiuzhou Technology led by Gu Qing is like. My beacon of light on the thorny road, they are ready Their own operating system standardizes hardware compatibility. Through a unified system, the architecture is directly compatible with the operating system. Although they have not really disclosed the programming language on their own operating system, I know that they have long disdained the quagmire in China. Fight.
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 major that has been passed down by word of mouth. ”
When he said this, Wu Hu, chairman of Loongson Xiake, was full of tears.
Last year, the Shanghai Stock Exchange officially accepted Loongson Xiake’s application for the Science and Technology Innovation Board IPO. Prospectus It shows that it will raise 3.5 billion yuan to invest in the research and development and production of advanced process chips and high-performance general-purpose graphics processor chips. Industrialization and supplementing the company's liquidity. 1.25 billion of it will be used in advanced chip research and development and related industries, and about 1 billion will be used in high-performance GPUs.
For an individual, this amount of money is simply astronomical. Numbers. 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 R&D investment has been 400 billion, and chip R&D projects accounted for about 40%, that is, 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 bit poor, 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 between the lines.
"Xia Wei has the world's leading chip design and R&D capabilities. The domestic semiconductor industry once lacked process and production problems, but now these problems are successfully solved, Kirin chips will bloom again, and the Kirin 9000 series is not the end. , HiSilicon Kirin will have stronger and more advanced chips in the future!”
After saying this, the rotating chairman did not forget to shout: “5G technology is in the future! As the center of the technology and industrial world, Daxia has taken a leading position in the 5G field. This field is very important. There will definitely be many people who do not want Daxia to be fully completed, but the results will definitely disappoint them.
Xia Wei will not give in! After the interview, some rumors leaked: "Kirin 9010 is under design and is likely to be launched next year. Xia Xin 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.
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 Pengpai S1 processor, Rice’s own chip manufacturer, Pengpai, has rarely had new good news.
Even the 12Pro was launched with the Pengpai S1 processor. The news about the P1 charging chip was aroused some time ago, but soon afterwards some people started to conduct "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. Production.”
Regarding such rumors, Rice’s legal department has taken action, and Nanxin Semiconductor has also issued a statement to refute the rumors for Rice Paper P1 chip.
But this refutation of the rumor was too true, and 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.
Rice suddenly 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.
The Suiren Company, in which Jiuzhou Technology has a stake, has become famous in the past few years, but it is very easy to get the two things that rice dreams of, the light 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 with everyone."
He even said Zihei broke the news: "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, nonsense.
Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes.
Good night, Macabaka.
