Chapter 727: Comprehensive encirclement and suppression of Xingyi Technology, Lin Shu’s comfort!
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. The process technology is two generations behind. This year's Kunpeng flagship chip is finished, and the Xingyi flagship phone is also finished. The glory is over!"
"No wonder Xingyi Technology has chosen to make graphics cards. It saw that mobile phone chips will enter the 14-nanometer stage this year, and Xingyi Semiconductor has fallen behind, so it has turned to making graphics cards!"
"I see. Graphics cards and CPUs are still based on 22-28 nanometers. It's smart of Xingyi Semiconductor to change its track."
"It's useless. Next year, Nvidia graphics cards will also use 14 nanometers. Intel CPUs will also start using 14 nanometers in the second half of this year. Xingyi Semiconductor will always lag behind."
"Hey, I was planning to buy the Xingyi X2, but now forget it, I'll just buy the Samsung S6! This year's flagship phone uses the 28nm process again, which is really too bad."
"I am a loyal fan of Xingyi, but I cannot accept the traditional 28 nanometer technology. I hope Xingyi Technology can stand up as soon as possible."
"Standing up? That's not that easy. Breakthroughs in semiconductor process technology are the most difficult. Without sufficient foundation, it's impossible to catch up."
"What if? What if Xingyi Semiconductor rises and breaks through 14 nanometers?"
"Haha, what a sweet dream! How can semiconductor manufacturing be that simple? Not to mention this year or next year, even in three years, Xingyi Semiconductor will have trouble breaking through 14 nanometers."
"Don't even mention 14 nanometers. Xingyi Semiconductor is still at 28 nanometers and can't even reach 20 nanometers!"
"Oh my god, isn't that the end?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. The huge technological gap won't change just because of a momentary fluke."
"Then I'll buy the Samsung S6. Although the Galaxy S is a good phone and the XOS system is good, Samsung's chip, which is two generations ahead, is even better!"
"Yes, the chip is the brain of the phone, and the 14-nanometer Orion 7420 is the eternal god!"
……
The overall public opinion on the Internet is one-sided.
Whether it is the media, customers, or even fans of Xingyi Technology, none of them are optimistic about Xingyi Technology or Xingyi Semiconductor.
They all feel that the gaps in other areas can be easily overcome, caught up with, or even surpassed.
But the gap in semiconductor technology makes it difficult.
It would be great if Xingyi Technology could reach 28 nanometers.
We failed to catch up with the next 20 nanometers and are lagging behind.
As for the next 14 nanometers, it will continue to lag behind.
It is not easy to catch up with the gap between two consecutive generations.
At the normal speed, even if we catch up with one generation every two or three years, it will take about five years to make up for the gap between two generations.
But the terrible thing is that five years later, Xingyi Technology finally achieved 14 nanometers, but Samsung, TSMC, and Intel would not stand still and stagnate. They are likely to have already broken through 7 nanometers or even 5 nanometers!
This is even worse!
For a time, the prestige of Xingyi Semiconductor was severely hit, and many Xing fans were mentally broken.
The media also spread the word:
"Intel, Samsung, and TSMC have successively entered the 14- and 16-nanometer processes, completely ending the past glory of Xingyi Technology."
"Xingyi Technology's rapid development will eventually be thwarted by the backwardness of its chip manufacturing process!"
"Samsung, Apple, Nvidia, and Intel's products have entered the 14nm era one after another. Xingyi Technology's chips are two generations behind, which will wipe out all its advantages and make all its products no longer advanced!"
"The International Semiconductor Industry Association predicts that Xingyi Semiconductor is expected to break through the 2020nm process by 14, by which time Samsung, TSMC, and Intel will enter the 5nm process era!"
"Faced with the growing rise of Xingyi Technology, European and American international giants have chosen to launch a dimensionality reduction attack in the field of process technology!"
“The glory days are over! The 14nm new products coming to market from major brands will kill all of Xingyi Technology’s 28nm flagship products.”
……
Once these news came out, the whole situation escalated to a higher level.
In this regard, the general public has different attitudes, with different praises and criticisms.
A number of international giants were very excited.
In recent years, international giants have all had a very hard and miserable life!
After the Xingyi mobile phone came out, it had an excellent appearance, advanced technology, and a smooth system. It was a huge hit, and its market share continued to rise, suppressing the sales of major mobile phone brands which continued to decline.
After the Xingyi tablet came out, it replicated the mobile phone market, and a number of tablet manufacturers were suffering.
The subsequent Xingyi TV was a bombshell, revolutionizing performance and picture quality in all aspects, redefining smart TVs, and causing the sales of TV giants such as Samsung, LG, and Sony to be collectively halved.
After the subsequent Xingyi computer was launched on the market, it again sold well, causing the sales of major computer brands to plummet.
It can be said that Xingyi Technology has blossomed in all aspects and dominated in all aspects.
What's more terrible is that Xingyi Technology has the technology, design, system, supply chain and performance!
Other giants may excel in a certain field, but Xingyi Technology is excellent in all aspects!
Any one of them is much stronger than other giants!
This has left many international giants powerless, unable to catch up, and even feeling desperate.
I can’t beat him, I really can’t beat him.
Until recently, when Samsung's 14nm process went into mass production and TSMC's 16nm process was ready to go, everything changed!
The chip is the core. If the core is not good, no matter how good other aspects are, it will be a bit of a stretch.
And this is the key to the counterattack of major international brands and the key to surpassing Xingyi Technology.
So NVIDIA approached Samsung to discuss cooperation as soon as possible!
Similarly, Nvidia has not given up on its old partner TSMC and has deepened its cooperation.
Soon, NVIDIA officially announced:
[Next year's new Nvidia graphics cards, GTX 1050 and 1050ti, will be manufactured by Samsung, fully ushering in the 14nm graphics card era! ]
[Next year, Nvidia's new graphics cards GTX 1060, 1070, and 1080 will be manufactured by TSMC, using 16nm technology! ]
Nvidia's statement once again was like a bombshell.
This makes the public even less optimistic about the future of Xingyi Technology:
"It's over. Nvidia will also be using 14-16 nanometers for all its products next year. Intel will definitely be using 28- nanometers for its graphics cards and CPUs. They are definitely finished."
"Apple has also officially announced that the 6S in the second half of the year will use 14 nanometer chips, and the new flagship Xingyi is still 28 nanometers, which is even more doomed."
"The iPad is also going to have a new model that uses Samsung's 14nm process. How will the 28nm Xingyi tablet compete?"
"Alas, when Xingyi Technology released the third generation of Xingyi TV, Xingyi Tablet 2 Ultra, and Xingyi RTX 980 some time ago, it was still very popular and dominated the market. Now it has become a hero in his twilight years, which is sad and lamentable."
"There is no other way. The backwardness of the manufacturing process means that the Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, Xingyi computers, Xingyi graphics cards, and Xingyi CPUs will all have a hard time."
"Especially Nvidia and Intel will popularize 14-16 nanometers. This year is fine, but next year Xingyi Semiconductor will have a hard time."
"Sure enough, graphics cards and CPUs still have to rely on Nvidia and Intel, and Xingyi Technology will soon fall behind."
Looking at these public opinions, Lao Huang was in a good mood.
"Wang Yi, ah Wang Yi, you are so arrogant!"
"Let you develop and produce your own products with powerful technology, and we at NVIDIA will have a hard time!"
"Are you okay now?"
"The good times are coming to an end!"
"Next year, Nvidia's 10-series graphics cards will be fully upgraded. Not only will the performance be fully upgraded, but the process will also be upgraded to Samsung's 14nm and TSMC's 16nm. How can your backward 28nm process compare?"
"It's so funny!"
Other senior executives were also in a good mood:
"Things have changed. Tomorrow it will be our turn to be proud."
"This year is the most glorious year for Xingyi graphics cards, and also the last glorious year!"
"That's right. The Xingyi graphics card is like a shooting star. Although it is bright, it is short-lived."
"Hahaha, this analogy is apt and brilliant!"
"We can't let the Xingyi graphics card continue to shine this year. Our GTX 980 ti will be released soon, and it will definitely give the Xingyi graphics card a critical hit, making it difficult for them to have a good year!"
"That's right, that's it! Samsung and Apple are attacking in the mobile phone industry with their 14nm chips, besieging Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets. And NVIDIA is besieging Xingyi graphics cards in the computer industry!"
"In the past, everyone bought Xingyi graphics cards and supported Xingyi Technology's products. Many people felt that Xingyi Technology was strong, had top-notch technology, and had a high-end brand, which is why it attracted so many fans and had good sales."
"But this incident has made the public see Xingyi Technology's fatal shortcomings and actual capabilities, making the public intimidated by Xingyi Technology. The brand image has also been greatly reduced, and the sales of Xingyi graphics cards will also plummet in the future!"
"That's for sure. I really don't know how Wang Yi will survive when he sees the piles of Xingyi graphics cards that can't be sold."
"Hahaha, who cares how they get by? We at NVIDIA will take the opportunity to ship our products!"
"That's right. In the past, everyone thought that Xingyi graphics cards were better than ours, NVIDIA, so they were hot sellers. Now, his true colors have been exposed, and graphics cards still have to rely on NVIDIA. The 14nm process is the chasm that Xingyi Technology cannot bypass!"
"There is a serious problem. What if the Xingyi graphics card is also manufactured by Samsung or TSMC? Do they also make 14-16 nanometer graphics cards?"
"This is indeed a problem, but it can be dealt with. Samsung is unlikely to help them. They are sworn enemies of Xingyi Technology and will not help them. In addition, Samsung has just received our orders for GTX 1050 and 1050ti. In order not to offend us, they dare not accept orders for Xingyi graphics cards."
“But it’s hard to say about TSMC. It was previously rumored that they won the order for Kunpeng 916 from Xingyi Technology!”
"TSMC is not a problem at all. Most of our NVIDIA graphics cards are manufactured by TSMC. If they dare to accept orders for Xingyi graphics cards, we will ban them directly!"
"That's right, but we still have to give them a warning. As long as Samsung and TSMC don't manufacture graphics cards for Xingyi, they will be ruined."
"Next year, NVIDIA will launch 14- and 16-nanometer graphics cards, while Xingyi Technology will launch 28-nanometer graphics cards. That will be fun, hahahaha."
However, just as Nvidia was cheering, a piece of news shocked the world:
[Xingyi Technology's flagship launch conference will be held on May 5st! ]
A simple sentence instantly caused a global sensation.
However, this time, everyone's attitude towards the super flagship launch conference is completely different from before.
Every time Xingyi Technology held a press conference, it was highly anticipated, with coins ready to purchase, and fans and users were also very excited.
But this time, there are more concerns than expectations, and many people are not optimistic at all:
"At the super flagship conference, there must be the Xingyi x2. It is still a full-screen phone with unbeatable appearance, unbeatable system, and unbeatable other configurations. But your 28-nanometer processor is really disgusting!"
"Yeah, I'm worried about this, too. I was planning to buy the Xingyi x2 super flagship phone, but its 28nm processor is two generations behind Samsung. How can it be a super flagship? It's not even a flagship."
"I have been a fan of Xingyi Technology for many years, but when I saw the 28nm processor, I was still discouraged. I don't have enough faith and need to recharge urgently."
"I didn't have much expectations for the first Xingyi Technology press conference. Really, not at all."
"Guys, I'm in the US now. I stayed up late to watch the previous Xingyi press conferences, but this time... just go to bed. There's not much to look forward to."
