A Chinese high-tech company recently held a press conference. Although it did not speak about mobile phones, it mainly promoted automobiles, wearables and other products. This exactly reflects that it has begun to integrate software systems into many industries, and self-developed chips are also widely used in these industries. As a result, domestic high-tech has formed an independent system from chips to software.
The domestic 5G mobile phone previously released by the company was disassembled and found that its domestic chips accounted for 90%, while the domestic chips of another mobile phone released just 8 months ago accounted for less than 60%. In just a few months, 90% of the chips have been localized, which shows the rapid progress of domestic chips.
Such progress is actually due to the joint efforts of China's chip industry. In recent years, domestic memory chips, radio frequency chips, and analog chips have broken the monopoly of the United States. This year, they have achieved large-scale mass production, thus helping this mobile phone company achieve 90% of chip production. Localization is a matter of course.
The chips used in mobile phones actually have something in common with chips in other industries. Highly sophisticated machines like mobile phones can localize chips, so the difficulty of localizing chips used in cars will only be lower because of the space in cars. Larger chips can be enlarged to provide stronger performance, which is why this company emphasizes the technical advantages of the chip when releasing cars.
When releasing cars and wearable devices, it also emphasized that these products all use self-developed software systems, thus achieving complete independence of software and hardware. This is a huge progress for Chinese manufacturing, which means that previously only Chinese manufacturing The era of making small profits by making hardware while American companies made huge profits is over.
In fact, the American billionaire Bill Gates has long predicted this. Bill Gates believes that the United States' actions will cause huge losses to American chips, but it will not prevent China from developing advanced chips. Now it is clear that the development of China's high-tech industry has exceeded expectations. Not only It has realized the localization of advanced chips and got rid of its dependence on the United States in terms of operating systems.
These impacts actually occurred as early as last year. With the increase in the self-sufficiency rate of domestically produced chips, American chips have been faced with the dilemma of difficulty in selling chips. In order to sell chips, the chips that were previously sold on the hoist were sold at a large price reduction. The price of the chips was reduced by 90%. As a result, the revenue of the U.S. chip industry has dropped significantly, and the market value has plummeted.
By the middle of this year, the price of analog chips in the United States has been further reduced, from 70 yuan to 1 yuan, a drop of 98%. The reason is that domestic chips are accelerating replacement. The price of domestic analog chips is only 7 cents, which is less than the price of American analog chips after the price reduction. Much lower, which has won the welcome of domestic enterprises. After all, in today's environment, enterprises need to control costs as much as possible, and Chinese chips with good functions and lower prices are naturally more recognized.
Not only are mobile phones using domestic chips on a large scale, but the automobile industry is also popularizing domestic chips. The 90-nanometer IGBT chip developed by BYD was considered to have reached the world's advanced level. Even European and American automobile companies are interested in purchasing it. However, industry rumors indicate that BYD created the chip. One person said that his IGBT chips are only sold to domestic companies and will not be sold to European and American companies.
In general, the United States once thought that its plan to take various measures to restrict China's development of advanced chips has been shattered. Now China's high-tech industry is working together to not only abandon American chips, but also accelerate the replacement of American-led operating systems. China's independent software The hardware system is taking shape and will form a technology system that is completely different from that of the United States, and its development has exceeded its expectations.
