City: Start A Chip Factory

Yu Chengxi has said this more than once, but so far, there is still no hope of solving the chip problem.

Of course, everyone knows that the possibility of solving the problem within one or two years is very slim.

Kirin 9000 uses a 5-nanometer process, which is currently the most advanced chip manufacturing technology.

Currently, there are only two companies that can produce the 5nm process, one is Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the other is Sanzang Electronics.

Sanzang's process technology still has some moisture, so it can be said that only Bay Area Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has the chip manufacturing company that can 100% restore the 5nm design.

At this time, neither Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. nor Sansang Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are able to OEM Huawei for some reasons, so the problem cannot be solved.

To put it bluntly, unless domestic chip companies can suddenly increase their technology, this will be the problem of the century.

At this time, the boss Xu Zhiqun said: "Let's skip the processor chip issue first. Let's talk about other parts first. For example, there is also a supply problem for 5G radio frequency antennas. The inventory is already running low. Let's discuss the solution first. Bar."

After everyone heard this, they regained their composure and prepared to discuss it again.

At this moment, a person suddenly spoke.

This person is a supervisor in the testing department named Sun Qiang.

His name is ordinary, but he is actually very capable, so he is qualified to participate in this meeting.

Sun Qiang: "Mr. Xu, I have something to report first, is that okay?"

Xu Zhiqun: "Well, you tell me."

Sun Qiang: "You should have heard that Aizi Technology's mobile phones also encountered parts supply problems. w

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

There have always been problems in the supply chain of Awl mobile phones.

There are many reasons, the main reason is that Awl Technology is not big enough and relatively weak, and suppliers have always been less interested in it.

Xu Zhiqun: "Sun Qiang, please continue."

Sun Qiang: "Awl's latest Awl t3 has been lacking 5g baseband chips. The situation may be somewhat similar to ours, but this problem seems to have been solved recently. In recent days, the shipments of Awl t3 have increased significantly.

When others heard this, they became interested.

"Solved? That's really rare."

"This is amazing. 5G baseband chips are now a hot commodity. Mobile phone manufacturers all over the world are grabbing it, right? How do they solve it?"

"Could it be a rumor? It stands to reason that it would be difficult for them to solve the supply problem of 5g baseband chips."

Yu Chengxi said at this time: "If I remember correctly, the baseband chip used by Awl T3 should be a high-image one, right?"

After saying that, Sun Qiang nodded: "Yes, it belongs to Gao Tu."

Yu Chengxi: "Gao Tu placed an order with Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., does Bayan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company have excess production capacity?"

Xu Zhiqun: "Even if Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. can allocate production capacity, Gaotu will give priority to the excess 5g baseband chips to first-tier manufacturers, and should not take into account Awl Technology."

Sun Qiang: "So I felt very strange, why the supply of Aizi T3 has been accelerated? So I bought an Aizi T3 yesterday and wanted to study it."

With that said, Sun Qiang took out a mobile phone from his pocket.

The shape of the phone is very recognizable, and anyone in the mobile phone industry can tell at a glance that it is the Awl T3, which is the latest model of Awl.

The two big guys, Xu Zhiqun and Yu Chengxi, were even more interested.

Others couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Studying its brand of mobile phone parts is like "everyone looking for differences", which is quite interesting.

The back cover of Sun Qiang's Awl T3 has been removed.

Sun Qiang: “I discovered that the 5g baseband chip of Aizi T3 has changed.

Li Xiaolong: "The baseband chip of this mobile phone is not from Gaotu?"

Sun Qiang handed over the phone: "Mr. Li, take a look."

Li Xiaolong took the phone, opened the back cover, and started looking for it.

Li Xiaolong is the general person in charge of the mobile phone business. He has been dealing with mobile phones all year round and is very familiar with the structure of various mobile phone motherboards.

He quickly found the baseband chip and read the text on it carefully.

Yu Chengxi: "Lao Li, how are you? Are you really not from Gao Tu?"

Li Xiaolong's eyes widened, he looked left and right, up and down, and finally raised his head and responded: "It's really not Gaotu's 5G baseband chip."

Xu Zhiqun: "Which company is that from? Sansang?"

There are only three manufacturers that can design mainstream 5G baseband chips, Gaotu, Sansang, and Huawei.0

Huawei's current 5G baseband chips can only be supplied by itself, and if it were not for Gaotu Factory, it would only be a third-party supplier.

However, the function and effect of Sansang's 5g baseband chip are not good, and it will cause a lot of adaptation problems, so it will not be used unless there is no other way.

However, Li Xiaolong looked at the words on the chip and responded: "It's not Sansang, it seems to be called Du... Po, no, it should be Du Bo..."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned by Li Xiaolong.

DuBo?

What the hell is Du Bo?

I have never heard of such a chip manufacturer!

Yu Chengxi said: "Let me take a look."

Li Xiaolong put the phone into Yu Chengxi's hand.

Yu Chengxi and Xu Zhiqun turned it over one after another, looked at it upside down for a long time, and came to a conclusion.

The letters marked on this 5g baseband chip are indeed "dubo".

Yu Chengxi raised his head and asked: "Which manufacturer is this? Does anyone know?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion and confusion, obviously no one knew.

Li Xiaolong thought about it and said: "Gaotu's 5G baseband chip is 7 nanometers. Even if the chip needs to be replaced, it must have similar performance. Looking at the size of the chip, it should be 7 nanometers.

7nm?

Thinking about it this way, the value is extremely high.

Currently, there are only two known chip manufacturers that can produce 7-nanometer chips, one is Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and the other is Sansang.

If there is a third 3.4 manufacturer, it may also be able to solve Huawei's urgent need for chip supply.

Even if it doesn't solve all problems, it is at least a possible way out.

When Yu Chengxi heard this, he immediately thought of something and said: "Lao Li, please activate your connections and go find someone from Aizi Technology to find out which chip manufacturer Du Bo is."

Li Xiaolong nodded.

At the same time, Du Bo was driving to the imperial capital.

He didn't know that his company was actually mentioned at Huawei's senior seminar.

Just say "Du Bo" as "Du Bo".

After only resting at home for half a day, Du Bo went to the chip factory the next day.

Du Bo hasn't been there for several days, so he has to go see if the chip factory is working abnormally.
