Rice company makes chips?
Did you do it?
The answer is yes, even they have entered the chip field very early.
As early as many years ago, the rice company quietly established a company to engage in chip research and development, and in 2014, they released a chip that belonged to them, named the Pangbai S1 chip, which used 28 nanometers. design.
Then what?
There’s no after that!
The next generation of Bengbai S2 that many people were looking forward to did not appear.
Although it is said that the Expandby S1 is officially released, everyone knows that there are many problems with the Expandby S1. It is impossible to complete mass production and then install them on their products, because of the technical level. However, it is not realistic. This is the real reason why they still use other people’s chips after they released their own chips.
So why does Lei Jin want to repeat the old thing now, indicating that the rice company wants to enter the chip, and still use the word ‘official’?
It can only be said that because of the problem of the expansion of the S1, plus 12 years of continuous research and development, but a lot of money has been invested, but no new results can be seen. The result is naturally stocking, and the research and development work there is now. In fact, it has become a stagnant state.
There is only one reason, and that is that the parent company’s funds are not strong enough, and the funds allocated there are getting less and less, so small that it is a bit pitiful, and it has been considered half abandoned.
To make up your mind and march officially now is to regain confidence, then recruit and expand the team, give a lot of financial support, do it seriously, and strive for progress.
The chips in the past two years have developed too fast and too fast. The outside world has been advocating 7-nanometer chips, and in the production process, it seems that there has been a big breakthrough. It may not take long before 7-nanometer chips can be officially produced. , And put it on the phone?
But that’s just the outside world advocating it!
An Ran knows very clearly that as far as 2016 is concerned, the progress of the chip is not as fast as expected. Even if it is the A-series chips, their design is not as good as expected, although it is the most powerful. Advanced, but in terms of manufacturing process, the current top foundries can only achieve 16 nanometers!
No, this year’s Aifeng 7 released by Aifeng, equipped with A10 chip, was handed over to two factories for foundry. One of the foundries uses 16-nanometer technology, and there is another foundry, which is also a four-star company in Bangzi Country. , They use a 14-nanometer process.
And this is already the most advanced and top level in the chip field.
Even if it is another year, that is, next year in 2017, Aifeng will launch the Aifeng X, which is equipped with an A11 chip, and its manufacturing process will only reach 10 nanometers.
The 7-nanometer manufacturing process will not be launched with the Ailun XS series until 2018.
The next step is the 5-nanometer manufacturing process. The breakthrough is very fast, but after reaching the 5-nanometer, if you want to advance, it is not as simple as you imagined.
This is the general history of the chip manufacturing process!
As a rebirth, An Ran knows it all.
“Everything must be done step by step!”
An Ran knows that there is nothing wrong with the history of the chip manufacturing process, but he is not greedy: “As far as the current manufacturing process is concerned, it may reach 16 nanometers this year, or a further 14 nanometers, but for Godson International, I don’t ask for that much. Two years later, by the end of 2017, there will be some breakthroughs. It’s good to be able to build a 28-nanometer chip production line.”
“Even this requirement is a bit high. It is not so easy to achieve it. However, the order I gave to Godson International is to start with the 28-nanometer production line. This starting point is high, but it is also not high. “An Ran finally added.
“The 28-nanometer production line is really not high or low!”
Mr. Ren’s understanding of chips is no less than that of anyone: “We are just starting after all. If the goal is low, there is no value, and if it is high, it is impossible. The 28-nanometer card is just right in the middle. ”
“If two years later, it can be successfully developed and have a 28-nanometer chip production line, I believe the market space is still huge.”
It is impossible for Lei Jin to know nothing about chips. On the contrary, he knows very well: “Even if it is the most advanced manufacturing process now, I don’t know whether it is true or false. Process technology, as it is true, 28-nanometer is more than doubled, but according to the current market situation, 28-nanometer chips, two years later, can still be active in the low-end market. ”
“If it is done, there will still be a certain market. If there is a market, there will be customers. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It is important to have a breakthrough. From the perspective of Godson International, zero breakthrough is more important than anything else. One is R&D. The second is that there is market space, revenue, and greater support in terms of funds. The meaning is different.” Lei Jin has been walking in the mall for so many years and has a thorough understanding of business planning.
A business!
Relying on the blind blood transfusion of the funders, that is an extremely unhealthy operating state, and if it is not good, there may be a flash crash!
This is especially true for high-tech companies.
In the middle, if there is a breakthrough, even if the result is close to being eliminated by the market, it is also a breakthrough, a good start, if there is a certain market space, even the lowest end, that is also a good thing. Not only the samples from the laboratory, but also the customers, sell a few samples, and make some money back for the company.
Compared with the investment in research and development, perhaps the small amount of money recovered may have a different meaning.
Sometimes this meaning is very important. It can give the whole company a blood and boost confidence, and then the whole company will go into battle with light and more energy.
“Fight for it!”
An Ran shook his head. He knew that everything could not be smooth sailing, especially on the chip. If it were that simple, it would not be the current situation in China: “It can only be a beautiful vision. I’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
“Dreams still have to be there, what if it is realized?” With a smile, Old Ren broke out a network term.
“This dream must have it!”
Lei Jin also said, but soon moved to another area: “Now the emergence of Godson International has greatly stimulated major companies. I believe it will not take long. There should be some support plans on it. You should There will be a lot of benefits, but I don’t know how it will be implemented in the end.”
“It’s a good thing, but also a bad thing!”
An Ran is not so optimistic. It is indeed a good thing for them, but it may not be a good thing to stand in the overall situation: “Are there few supporting policies for so many years? But the result?”
