After Hesi, another Chinese company Launches High-end Chips

Update time : 2022-12-03 11:40:23

There are many types of chips, which can be divided into digital chips and analog chips according to processing signals, and into computing chips, storage chips, communication chips, etc. according to their uses. Among them, the most complex design of high-end chips is the cell phone SoC processor chip.

The world can design cell phone SoC chip manufacturers are not too many, mainly Huawei Heisi, Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, MediaTek, etc.. After Heisi was restricted to OEM, Ziguang Zhanrui began to rise again, and now launched a new SoC chip.
The most famous is the Kirin series, which is the SoC chip used in cell phones, and it can be made and applied successfully enough to prove its strength.
Because the SoC chips integrate several specific functional modules inside, including CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processor), NPU (embedded neural network), ISP (image processing), as well as communication baseband and storage.
So the cost of chip design alone is hundreds of millions of dollars, which requires not only the possession of high-end technology, but also continuous investment.
Therefore, it is not easy to make cell phone SoC chips. Xiaomi has also previously invested fully to make its own cell phone SoC chip, but also launched the first generation of Surge S1, however, the application is not very effective, and then S2 is no longer heard.
Mainly SoC chip trial and error cost is also quite high, need to continue to burn money, need a lot of preliminary funding. It is understood that the 7nm process requires $30 million for a flow of chips, and up to $50 million for a flow of chips in the 5nm process.
However, thankfully, after Hesi, another Chinese enterprise topped up, is Ziguang Zhanrui, is currently the only domestic manufacturers to supply cell phone SoC chips, and now can compete with Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc. on the same stage.
After the fade out of the global SoC market top five, Ziguang Zhanrui share has been rising, has surpassed Samsung to become the world's fourth.

Previous : TSMC is fully invested in the U.S., but it may be abandoned by Apple like Foxconn

Next : Qorvo Semiconductor and MediaTek to launch 5G automotive platform next year, collaborate on designs to support mobile Wi-Fi 6/6E/7
