domestic chip hope coming? TSMC officially announced that Qualcomm and Apple have no choice but to obey!
With the continuous progress of global science and technology, the importance of chips has become more and more prominent. Especially after the 21st century, the entire social system is almost inseparable from the composition of chips. Today is an information age, and chips are the carriers of information. There is no so-called information age.
However, so far, the global chip industry has obvious strengths and weaknesses. As far as chip companies are concerned, the United States has the strength of the Jedi. Among them, Apple, Qualcomm, Intel and other companies have started with chips and are well-known. Chip giants occupy an absolute position in the entire chip market.
In our country, although the chip industry has been developing continuously, so far, there are only a few companies that can carry the heavy responsibilities. Among them, , Huawei, and are the most famous ones. The Kirin chip designed by Huawei has already It has been recognized by the market and now has a very high market share.
Huawei has gone abroad and is well-known to the world. In addition, Huawei also has good chip design capabilities in the communications field. Today, many 5G patents are Huawei's dominance, and it is precisely because of this that it has attracted pressure from the United States.
However, looking at the current domestic chips and American chips, there is a huge shortcoming. Although the design chip ability is very strong, the manufacturing industry is a huge shortcoming. At present, the two largest chip foundries in the world In addition to Samsung, it is TSMC.
Although Intel still has the ability of foundry, but the technology has been left behind long ago, has lost the advantage of foundry, a very simple example, Samsung and TSMC have the ability to produce 5nm chips, but Intel ? But even 7nm chip manufacturing has problems. Z1z
Some time ago, there was news from Intel that Intel may outsource the foundry business of 7nm chips to foundries in Asia, which further proves the decline of American chip foundry companies.
Under such circumstances, Samsung and TSMC are getting higher and higher positions in the chip field. Even any decision can directly determine the entire chip industry. Recently, TSMC officially announced a news. The
message pointed out: TSMC will cancel the wafer discount of 3% discount to customers, and any customer will no longer enjoy the subsidy discount. If you want TSMC to continue the foundry, you need the full payment, without exception, Otherwise, TSMC reserves the right not to accept customer orders.
Why does TSMC have such confidence? Very simple, TSMC's current foundry level can be said to be the world's first, although Samsung can also foundry 5nm chips, but from the Snapdragon 888 processor, Samsung's foundry level is still far from TSMC.
In addition, TSMC is also for greater deployment. For now, TSMC itself is already operating at full load, and there is no shortage of orders at all. Doing so can get greater profits and order more EUV lithography machines. Let TSMC grow stronger.
As for TSMC’s decision, Apple and Qualcomm have no choice but to accept it. After all, TSMC is too popular now, and even now TSMC has conversely pinched the US throat.
So is the turning point of domestic chips coming? This is true for
. We have to raise a question first. Why didn’t TSMC make this request when it had an order from Huawei? Just less than three months after cutting off the supply, he immediately asked whether it proved that TSMC also wanted to have the ability to be autonomous and would not be swayed by others? The answer is definitely yes. After
cut off the supply of Huawei, TSMC has had its own confidence and can do the same. This may also be a restriction for US companies, showing their own attitude and their advantages.
and domestic? The Chinese Academy of Sciences has released 8-inch graphene wafers some time ago. As a new carbon-based material, it may have a greater processThe breakthrough is also another way for domestic chips. Perhaps this new type of material can allow the country to make a rapid breakthrough, and the country is also striving to be fair to the barriers of lithography machines. A two-pronged approach can quickly achieve a breakthrough.
Conclusion:
With the news of TSMC, domestic chips will also usher in a new look, especially after TSMC officially realizes its separation from the US technology, the country will usher in a new situation, and the country is also constantly making Work hard, we just wait for good news!
