Lishan Semiconductor is huge in scale, with one chip factory after another.

From the lowest 8 micron process factories to the most advanced 0.5 micron factory, there are all available. Some chips with relatively low technology levels are no longer suitable for producing products such as CPU, memory, flash memory, etc.

However, chips in the semiconductor industry are not only commonly used chip types. In fact, almost all industries that use electricity may need semiconductor components. Some semiconductor components do not need to be so advanced, but more of them need to be durable. In addition, humans have tens of thousands of semiconductor chip types, and only a very small number are like Dram particles, and CPUs are general consumer chips.

Many niche chips are not widely used and have a small market, but they are also very needed. For example, some military chips may not be more advanced than civilian CPUs, but they are more special uses and require special design. The process used is not advanced, but the cost may not be cheap.

After all, if CPU chips are developed, tens of millions of users may buy them, so the R&D cost of each chip is already very low.

Some niche chips are made using technology-backward processes, but they are priced at tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The main reason is that these chips are costly to develop, and the demand may be only a few hundred or thousands of orders, so the cost is also very expensive.

For a long time, China's semiconductor industry was not only not well developed in cutting-edge processes. Even if the types of semiconductor chips are not first-class, the key is that its product range covers more than 10,000 different semiconductor chips. Many general chip manufacturers are unwilling to develop and produce chips, and are still willing to do them, gradually making niche businesses monopolize.

Ti is different from Intel and other companies, mainly because of its different positioning. Intel has made the general-purpose chip field, and it has no advantage if it does it again. Therefore, it has become a chip that does everything and is niche, as long as the customers can afford money, they are willing to develop it.

Lishan Semiconductor Company is a production line with many backward processes, and has not been really eliminated. Instead, it has gradually begun to produce some production lines of different processes to make some niche products. Anyway, these chip factory equipment is already zero cost. The remaining ones are labor and material costs.

It is precisely because of this that these dilapidated production lines were not eliminated by Lishan Semiconductor, so they hired more people than newly started semiconductors.

The types of industrial chains of newly entrepreneurial semiconductors are definitely not as rich as those of Lishan Semiconductor.

To a large extent, Lishan Semiconductor is not only for civilian use, but also because it is a state-owned enterprise and has a military background. Moreover, its process level is more advanced than that of the old aerospace and military semiconductor factories. Therefore, many domestic aerospace and military industries need to use some chips with low demand, and they also go to Lishan Semiconductor to require foundry.

Many aerospace-grade chips that were originally not exported to China by foreign countries. Lishan Semiconductor can also work with the aerospace team to solve problems and break many technical blockades one after another. It is also because of the sweetness that many domestic aerospace researchers have not introduced some technologies abroad and have not discussed them directly, and instead let Lishan Semiconductor cooperate with independent research and development and manufacturing.

The profits of taking over these foundry may not be much, but there is no doubt that the background of Lishan Semiconductor is undoubtedly stronger.

However, due to its establishment in the Special Administrative Region, and the mechanism was not too bureaucratic and more market-oriented at the beginning. In addition, Lishan Semiconductor is a joint-stock company, although its efficiency has always been inferior to that of newly-started semiconductors, it definitely surpasses most companies.

Chen Xubang held a Luban 2nd generation quad-core desktop chip and proudly said: "This chip performance test has a single-core performance of more than 3 times that of Pentium chips, and a quad-core performance of more than 7 times that of Pentium chips. Even if the Pentium chip adopts a multi-core architecture, Intel is not a rival of Luban 2 in this regard. As for, compared with our own Luban 1st generation, the performance is also more than 3 times. At present, Luban 2nd generation chips can be said to have directly widened the gap with their opponents by more than one generation! If it weren't for Intel's x86 platform, there was about $50 billion worth of stock software, the x86 platform could not survive at all!"

Compatibility of chip companies' moats, the more software there is, the safer it is for chip companies, because many users are reluctant to use commonly used application software and have to continue to use the hardware of the platform.

Many high-performance CPU chips, due to the lack of software ecosystem support, have gradually been unable to develop in a few years or decades. This failure is more due to commercial failures than technical failures.

In addition to high performance, chips with xrm architecture are now paying more and more attention to the compatibility of the software ecosystem since then and building a moat.

It used to be a game software, but now of course it also attaches importance to games. However, any application software is a chip with the xrm architecture, which is constantly encouraged and enriched.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "There is no eternal company, nor is there always leading technology. If you want to lead, you need to keep innovating and continue to develop into the future. In the stage, Intel may be a little behind our performance due to architecture issues, but the market does not completely look at performance."

"That's right, it mainly depends on software applications. Pangu's applications have also developed rapidly over the years. Although the market value of existing application software is lower than that of x86, its growth rate is not slow." Chen Xubang smiled.

Afterwards, Chen Xubang showed Lin Qi another good thing, the 32-core Luban 2nd generation processor!

It seems that the core is just piled up more, but in fact, the technical content is higher. If multiple cores want to achieve better performance, the technical content is also very high. Various high-performance supercomputers, servers and other platforms have become increasingly inclined to use more core chips to pile up performance. When they leave the factory, they have piled up more cores. It is obviously more considerate than purchasing a bunch of chips and trying to solve the chip synergy problem by themselves.

"Just like this multi-core chip, floating-point computing per second, has exceeded 500 million times at most!" Chen Xubang smiled, "If it were ten years ago, it would have been considered the floating-point computing level of supercomputers. Now, just such a chip has achieved such a complex budget! It can be said that this 32-core Luban 2nd generation chip should be the strongest chip in the world at present! The second chip cannot be found, which is even stronger than it! The cost of such a chip is only more than 100,000 yuan!"

"I guess individual users won't use such a strong chip, but this chip should have a bright future." Lin Qi looked at this chip. Perhaps a Celeron chip from individual users in the early 21st century may be stronger than this chip. However, a chip with RMB 100,000, plus other supporting chips should be able to reach less than RMB 1 million and be equipped with a platform comparable to a mainframe.

The current market price of mainframes is at least more than one million US dollars. Although it will include some software and technical services. However, the mainframes on sale on the market all start from one million US dollars. And the performance may not be directed towards the 32-core Luban 2nd generation chip in front of you.

The more important thing is power saving. In any case, a CPU chip with integrated 32 core will save much more power than those large machines with hundreds of CPUs.

Therefore, this chip is not only an order in the commercial market, but also in scientific research, military industry and other fields. For such high-performance chips, there is probably a shortage of supply.

Therefore, Lin Qi gradually understood why Lishan Semiconductor attaches more importance to the xrm chip field. After all, high-performance chips can save domestic scientific research costs immediately now.

As for the mobile power-saving arm chips, new entrepreneurial semiconductors pay more attention to it. Although chips are energy-saving, their efficiency is relatively low. In the high-performance application market, even in the future, they will not occupy the mainstream of the market.

After visiting Lishan Semiconductor, Lin Qi basically learned that Luban's second-generation CPU could be used to launch Pangu's 8th-generation computers. However, the inventory volume of Pangu's 8th-generation was definitely very low at the beginning, because before Double Eleven, Lishan Semiconductor was estimated to be able to produce 100,000 chips.

If all Pangu is supplied in the 8th generation, there will be only 100,000 units in Double Eleven.

It can be said that this is the lowest stock in Pangu computers in history. It is not intentional to play with monkey marketing, but at that time, we have to play monkeys, and we use a small amount of spot and more pre-sale futures for sale.
