SMIC has abandoned 28 nanometer chips, foreign media:Chinese chipThe company is going to rise!
This year, the elder brother of the Chinese chip industry suddenly announced a news that shocked the world: they want to give up 28Nano chipThe production line will no longer expand production, but instead invests money on a higher -end chip process.What does it mean?Does SMIC want to make money?Or do they have any big tricks?28 -nano -chip is one of the most common chip processes at present, and many mobile phones, computers, tablets and other electronic products are used.SMIC has done a good job in this field. Why do you give up?In fact, SMIC does not completely abandon 28 nanometer chips, but it will no longer increase production capacity.They will continue to produce existing 28 nanometers to meet customer needs.But they don't want to invest more money and energy in this field, because they have a larger goal: developing higher -end chip processes, such as 14 nanometers, 7nm, and even more advanced technology.
Why do you do this?The relevant person in charge of SMIC said that this is a cost and market issue.If you want to expand the capacity of 28 nanometer chips, you need to buy more equipment, such as lithography machines.But these devices are expensive and difficult to buy.Because the United States and other countries have implemented technical blockade on Chinese chip companies, they are not allowed to buy key equipment such as lithography machines, and even do not even allow maintenance.This has brought great costs and risks to SMIC's expansion.
At the same time, the market's demand for 28 nanometers is also decreasing.Because now people are pursuing higher performance, lower power consumption, smaller volumeelectronic productTherefore, there is greater demand for higher -end chip processes.For example, 14 nanometers, 7 nanometers and other processes can create more powerful, more energy -saving and smaller chips.These chips can be used in the fields of 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, etc., with huge market potential.Therefore, SMIC decided to abandon the expansion of 28 nanometer chips, and instead invested in higher -end chip technology research and development.This is a wise and brave decision.Because doing this can not only save costs, but also seize market opportunities.It can be said that it is a double carved arrow.SMIC's move caused a sensation in the industry.Foreign media also reported this and said that Chinese chip companies are about to rise!Why do you say that?Because the movement of SMIC explains several issues:
First, Chinese chip companies have the ability to innovate independently.The chip industry is a high -tech industry, with core technologies in the hands of a few developed countries.Chinese chip companies have been chasing, but they have not given up.SMIC is an example. They not only do well in mainstream technologies such as 28 nanometers, but also continue to break through in higher -end chip processes.They have achieved mass production of 14 nanometers, are developing 7 nanometer processes, and plans to mass production of 3 nanometer in 2025.These are advanced chip processes in the world, and only a few countries and enterprises can master.SMIC's independent innovation capabilities have been recognized and respected globally.
Second, Chinese chip companies have a vision of grasping market trends.The chip industry is a rapidly changing industry, and market demand is constantly changing.Chinese chip companies must keep up with the market's footsteps and adjust their development directions and strategies in a timely manner.SMIC is an example. They giving up the expansion of 28 nano -chip in time and invested in the development of higher -end chip processes.This shows that they see the general trend of the market and their advantages and opportunities.They are not satisfied with the status quo, but dare to pursue higher goals.Their market insight has been appreciated and encouraged by global.
Third, Chinese chip companies have the courage to deal with external challenges.The chip industry is a fierce competitive industry, and the external environment is also complicated.Chinese chip companies have always faced technical blockade and sanctions from countries such as the United States, which has brought great difficulties and pressures to them.However, Chinese chip companies did not yield, but insisted on independent research and development, and strived to improve their technical level and competitiveness.SMIC is an example. When they implement technical blockade and sanctions on them in the United States and other countries, they can still develop higher -end chip processes and intend to promote and sell globally.This shows that they have the courage and confidence in dealing with external challenges, as well as the ability and means to deal with external challenges.Their pressure resistance has been admired and supported by the world.In summary, SMIC's abandonment of 28 nano -chip expansion production, instead invested in higher -end chip technology research and development, is a strategic and historic decision.It not only reflects the strength and vision of SMIC itself, but also the overall level and attitude of Chinese chip companies.It has brought deep inspiration to the Chinese and even global chip industries: Chinese chip companies are about to rise!
