Chapter 597: Reversing the trend, No. 1 in the world
Xinlang reporter immediately conveyed a text message to the headquarters: "Changtian Technology developed and produced Xiaguo's first 65nm lithography machine, and developed and produced Xiaguo's first 65nm process chip."
After the information was transmitted to the Xinlang headquarters, the Xinlang headquarters immediately announced it in the live broadcast room, and played the news on the front page of the Xinlang portal.
Heart Wave Express: Changtian Technology announced 65nm lithography machine and 65nm process chip.
Chen Xiao has a part of the whiteness of the shares, and immediately put the product launch of Changtian Technology in the key position of the search.
As long as the user searches for any keyword related to Changtian Technology, the relevant news that Changtian Technology has produced 65nm process chips will automatically appear in the top position of the search ranking.
Suichat and 306 antivirus software controlled by Changtian Technology also provide timely feedback to users in the form of pop-up news.
This is the best time for Chen Xiao to gain influence, and of course he will not miss any opportunity to broadcast news. .
At this time, TSMC Xiaguo Head Office in Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Liu Ying, president of TSMC Xiaguo District, who is working overtime in the conference room, uses the computer to pop up the latest situation of the Changtian Technology press conference (Sichat is widely used for making friends and making friends because of the group setting. office).
The content of Liu Ying's meeting now is how to take advantage of the advantages of labor cost, low environmental cost and low taxation in the mainland of Xiaguo to undertake the foundry production of Intel's 65nm process chips as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the news that popped up was that Changtian Technology announced a 65nm process chip and a 65nm level lithography machine.
Liu Ying was stuck there, and vice president Ma Xiao was still talking nonstop, and then asked, "Mr. Liu, what's your opinion?"
Ma Xiao asked again, "Mr. Liu?"
Liu Ying did not answer Ma Xiao's words, but opened the chat and watched the news in detail.
The content of the news is very detailed, summarizing Zhang Jing's speech and a close-up of Changtian Technology's 65nm chip.
Liu Ying secretly screamed badly!
Last year, almost all Western IC technology companies united to prohibit Changtian Technology from purchasing lithography machines in the hands of Asmail. In fact, Western technology companies have indeed succeeded.
Asmaier refused to cooperate with Changtian Technology.
In this way, Intel and TSMC have a great advantage.
Because both Intel's direct factories and TiSMC purchased 65-nanometer lithography machines from Asmar.
Sales of Intel Core 2 Duo chips are indeed very gratifying.
far exceeded market expectations.
It also exceeds the production capacity of Intel's direct factories.
Therefore, Intel will of course transfer most of its orders to production costs, which are cheaper TSMC.
Of course, TSMC will take advantage of its own advantages as a curved island company.
Take advantage of the rather generous treatment in the Xia Kingdom mainland area.
Use the cheap labor, land and policy costs in the relevant continental regions to produce related chips at extremely low costs.
So something very embarrassing happened.
Intel and TiSMC are producing chips on the land of Xiaguo mainland that are not allowed to be used by Xiaguo Technology Company Changtian Technology.
This situation is absurd.
Liu Ying had no intention of continuing the meeting at this time.
Liu Ying waved his hand and told his subordinates to stop talking.
He hurried back to his office and immediately made a cross-ocean call to Bend Island.
The call went directly to the cell phone of Zhang Zhong, the CEO of TiSMC.
Zhang Zhong was having a party with his friends in the hotel at this time.
Although in the patent competition with Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor, TSMC did not get the slightest benefit.
But this does not prevent TSMC from becoming a world-class semiconductor production company.
As TSMC has undertaken the production of Intel-related chips, TSMC has become a vital part of the global semiconductor industry.
In order to get the production order of Intel Core 2 Duo chip, Zhang Zhong himself also made huge sacrifices.
For example, part of the shares of TiSMC will be given to the capital of the United States, and another example will be letting the executives of the United States work in TiSMC.
On the surface, TiSMC is a semiconductor company in the curved area of ??Xia Guo.
But if you look carefully at the internal structure of TSMC with a magnifying glass, you will find that he is actually gradually evolving into a global semiconductor company controlled by US capital.
Today is the new product launch of Changtian Technology, but the top management of TSMC did not pay attention to it.
Because they are full of confidence that as long as Changtian Technology can't get a 65-nanometer lithography machine, it is impossible to produce 65-nanometer-level chips.
When Zhang Zhong put down the wine glass, he connected to Liu Ying's phone.
With a frown, the first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible.
Zhang Zhong came to the balcony outside the private room and asked in a very serious tone, "You mean that Changtian Technology has developed a 65-nanometer-level lithography machine? Has launched a 65-nanometer-level chip?"
Liu Ying said with certainty: "I just got the relevant news here. Changtian Technology is holding a press conference in Suzhou and Hangzhou. It should be true!"
Zhang Zhong broke out in a cold sweat.
Changtian Technology not only designed a 65-nanometer-level chip, but also produced a 65-nanometer-level lithography machine.
This means that Changtian Technology has completely surpassed TSMC in chip equipment and chip design and production technology!
It also means that Yanjiang Semiconductor has the ability to manufacture related chips of no higher than 65nm process for other semiconductor companies.
This has a great impact on TSMC!
Zhang Zhong didn't have any mood to gather with friends at this time.
He immediately asked the secretary to drive him back to the company, and asked the Xia Guo branch to provide the latest information immediately.
At this time, the top management of TSMC had no way to rest for the weekend, and all returned to the head office to stand by.
Similarly, the news of Changtian Technology's production of 65nm lithography machines and 65mm chips also reached Intel's headquarters in Xiaguo at the fastest speed.
Intel's Xiaguo District Headquarters responded immediately and dispatched relevant personnel from the Shanghai branch to rush to Changzezhou.
However, Intel also knows that it is definitely too late to go to Changzezhou at this time.
After all, it is still a few hours away from the Shanghai market.
Therefore, when Intel people rushed over from the Shanghai stock market, they also immediately contacted colleagues from other friendly companies on the scene.
Let the other party use the phone or text message to inform Intel of the specific situation of the conference site at all times.
At the press conference, Zhang Jing asked the staff to display the 3D picture of the 65nm chip and the picture of the lithography machine designed and produced by Changtian Technology on the big screen.
The facts are in front of you, enough to explain the problem.
In terms of appearance, the 65-nanometer chip produced by Changtian Technology is smaller than Intel's Core 2 Duo chip.
Of course, the appearance of the chips are all packaged, so they don't look much different.
Standing in the center of the stage, Zhang Jing explained:
"This chip is named Pangu 3 chip."
"It adopts a dual-core design, the system bus (FSB) is 800 MHz, the main frequency is 2.2Ghz, the first-level cache is 512K, the carbon crystal particles are used, the second-level cache is 12 megabytes, and the carbon crystal is also used. particles."
After debugging, the main frequency of the mass-produced Pangu No. 3 chip has been improved to a certain extent.
It is 0.2Ghz higher than the original laboratory's 2.0Ghz.
"The operating voltage is around 1.25 volts and the cooling power is 45 watts."
"The number of pins is the same as that of Pangu No. 1 and Pangu No. 2, which can be adapted to the listed Angda motherboards."
Before Zhang Jing's explanation, a series of parameters of the Pangu 3 chip appeared on the big screen.
When the audience under the stage saw a series of parameters, some immediately compared them with Intel's Core 2 Duo chip parameters.
If we talk about Pangu No. 1 and Pangu No. 1 chips of Changtian Technology, there is a big gap with Intel in terms of chip parameters.
Then, the Pangu No. 3 chip launched by Changtian Technology this time has completely exploded Intel's Core 2 Duo chip in terms of data.
Intel's latest Core 2 Duo chip E4300 has a maximum frequency of 1.8Ghz.
Although the main frequency is not the only factor that determines the performance of the chip.
But if both chips are made of 65nm process, then the higher the frequency, the better the performance.
The Intel Core 2 Duo state-of-the-art chip front-end assembly is also 800 MHz.
This is comparable to the Pangu 3 chip.
But in the 1st and 2nd level cache, the difference is quite far.
The first-level cache of E4300 is only 128K, and the second-level cache is 2M.
The Pangu 3 chip of Changtian Technology.
The first level cache is 512K and the second level cache is 12MB.
And the carbon crystal material is used, which proves that the Pangu No. 3 chip is several times faster than the E4300 in terms of data reading and input speed.
When Zhang Jing said this, the representatives of Dell and Asus sitting in the front row swallowed.
Nothing can escape the true fragrance law.
If Changtian Technology's Pangu 3 chip can be mass-produced.
That can definitely form the most fierce competition with Intel's new Core Duo products.
Such a high-performance dual-core chip is paired with Changtian Technology's carbon crystal kit and firefly system.
What will the performance of the entire computer be like?
Everyone is looking forward to it.
And everyone can be sure that with this combination, the computer will be several times better than the inter kit.
Whether it is Dell or ASUS and other brands, they sincerely welcome the launch of 65nm process chips by Changtian Technology.
There is no reason for him.
If a product is a monopoly in the industry, the bargaining power of buyers is weak.
For example, the current E4300 chip, the price is around 1500.
Even if the PC company purchases in a centralized manner, there will not be much discounts.
The reason for such a situation is because Intel is the dominant one.
Before Changtian Technology announced the Pangu 3 chip, Intel was the only technology company in the world that had made achievements in commercial 65nm process chips.
PC companies can only find Intel to purchase the corresponding chips, there is no other way.
But if the Pangu 3 chip is mass-produced, it will be able to compete with Intel.
Then PC companies have more choices.
The price of Intel chips won't stay high, either.
This is certainly good for PC companies.
But this is absolutely negative for Lianxiang.
Because you also want to cooperate with Changtian Technology, it has already been shattered, and there is no room for turning back.
It is also for this reason that Lianxiang spent a lot of money to order from Intel before the official launch of the Core II chip.
Because Lianxiang has purchased chips from Intel and AMD, there are no more options.
In 2007, AMD was still unbearable, and it was even less likely to compete with Intel in the high-end market.
The mainstream chip in the entire PC market is still Intel.
Now Changtian Technology has developed the Pangu 3 chip, which is more advanced than the Intel Core 2 Duo chip.
This means that all previous plans of Lianxiang have gone bankrupt.
Lianxiang is likely to face the dilemma of last year again.
There is no way to compete with the Shenchuan in the morning of the mid-to-high-end PC, and there is no way to compete with the Dell Asus brand.
After all, ASUS, Dell and Changtian Technology have normal business cooperation, and they can normally purchase Pangu chips from Changjiang Technology.
Yang Qing has some desire to cry now.
He was fortunate some time ago, feeling that this time, Lianxiang made a desperate bet and made no mistake in betting on Intel.
After all, Intel has a stake in Asmail, and Asmail is the only equipment company in the world that can produce high-end lithography machines.
But I didn't expect that Changtian Technology could actually produce lithography machines.
Yang Qing thought that Intel still had more than 100,000 chips to deliver to Lianxiang.
This person is not feeling well.
Standing on the stage, Zhang Jing smiled confidently and said, "So what is the difference between our Pangu No. 3 chip and the mainstream 65nm process chip of a certain brand on the market?"
"We do a simple test."
The test is divided into two parts.
The first part is to use professional software to individually test the chip performance.
This software is a system optimization master software developed by 301 Company controlled by Changtian Technology.
This software has been popular in the market for a long time. In addition to optimizing the windows system (not required by the firefly system), it is more important to test the performance of the computer fairly and objectively, and the score is used as a representation.
The staff immediately set up two tables on the stage.
And installed two computers.
One is an experimental machine equipped with Pangu 3 chip and the other is a Mongolian brand machine equipped with a Core 2e4300 chip.
Obviously this brand is Lianxiang.
Under the witness of many media.
The staff conducts a benchmark test on two computers at the same time.
Results came in a few minutes later.
Don't look at other hardware first, just look at the performance of the CPU.
Lianxiang's brand machine, the Core 2 Duo chip scored 5,3743 points.
The Pangu 3 chip scored 86323 points.
The CPU test score of Optimizer has a reference base.
The overall performance of the Pangu No. 2 chip and last year's mainstream Pentium 4 processor is used as the scoring base (the base score is 20,000 points) to determine the scores of other chips.
This kind of running score shows that the performance of the Pangu No. 3 chip is 1.6 times that of the Intel chip!
It has become the most advanced commercial chip in the world.
After seeing this result, Yang Qing's first reaction was not to believe it!
After receiving the news, Intel headquarters expressed firm opposition!
Because Intel felt that the test software was developed by Changtian Technology, this is absolute cheating.
