Chapter 760: Escalating pursuit and interception, photoresist’s big move

"Mr. Cao, if someone really comes to us to buy equipment for producing 14-nanometer chips, should we sell it or not?"

Pan Jinxing thought of a problem he would face immediately after the official announcement.

Although European and American chip giants such as Intel and Infineon will not easily buy chip production equipment from Nanshan Equipment, that is the past.

Now that Nanshan equipment can produce the most advanced equipment in the world, the situation is naturally different.

Maybe someone will change their mind.

"Sell!"

"Why not sell it?"

"Sell it if you can afford it!"

Cao Yang gave his opinion again without any hesitation.

Intel has always regarded AMD as its biggest competitor, and its main products are computer CPUs.

Samsung, for example, also designs its own CPUs and then produces and processes them for its own use.

What I hope to hear is that the Chinese company has really committed fraud, and to cite some suspicious aspects.

"Even if we just rest on our laurels, we can last for several years."

When Pat said this, Otellini was immediately dissatisfied.

"Pat, how true do you think this news is?"

This time, it was like dropping an atomic bomb on the semiconductor industry!

"They are not a public company and do not need to rely on these good news to push up their stock prices."

You must not do things that harm yourself and benefit others.

Otherwise, only Nanshan Equipment itself would suffer losses, and it would be a wedding dress for Asmai.

"When will our 14nm chip technology be successfully developed?"

Intel has always relied on its leading technology to maintain its number one position in the market.

Soon, after Cao Yang and others discussed it, Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Semiconductor jointly announced that they had mastered 16-nanometer chip technology.

Otellini took a deep breath and felt that since others had already broken through, Intel had to break through as soon as possible, otherwise it would be troublesome in the future.

"According to the target progress, it is expected that a breakthrough will be achieved in the year after next, and then large-scale mass production will be possible in 2015."

"They don't have much performance pressure and don't need to use this program to promote their products."

Zhang Jing also supported Cao Yang's decision and felt that the equipment could still be sold externally.

Now China is quietly saying that it has done it. Isn’t this scary?

Not only did he ruin his reputation, he also missed the best opportunity to make money.

"They don't even have the pressure to do research and development, because the 28-nanometer technology mastered by Nanshan Semiconductor is already China's most advanced chip technology."

Intel was the first to explode!

Otellini walked around the office, filled with anxiety.

But now the industry is changing faster and faster.

"This matter is indeed surprising, but I can't find a reason for Nanshan Semiconductor and Nanshan Equipment to lie."

In this case, there is absolutely no need to prohibit the sale of equipment to external parties.

If Intel's chip technology is not the most powerful, then there may be fewer companies looking to Intel to buy chips in the future.

This made Otellini even more uncomfortable.

Anyway, the worst case scenario is that the delivery cycle should be delayed appropriately to prevent them from successfully surpassing Nanshan Semiconductor.

Intel estimates that it will be able to come up with similar chip technology in a year or two.

For example, Apple designs its own computer CPU and then finds TSMC and Samsung to manufacture it.

At that time, Pat directly said that the news was true.

This is definitely something Otellini cannot accept.

14 nanometers!

This is a technology that no semiconductor company in the world has yet developed.

The situation of Honor Technology in China is similar to Samsung.

These changes have had a huge impact on the computer CPU market.

For example, every computer that uses Intel chips will put the Intel label next to the keyboard, thinking that this is a behavior that can enhance the brand power of the computer.

"It can indeed be sold. Only if we sell equipment can we kill ASML's competitors."

Even companies such as Intel and Qualcomm have claimed that they are researching 14nm technology, but they have not announced that they have solved it.

Although Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Semiconductor have initially mastered the 14nm process technology, it does not mean that other manufacturers are far behind.

"Otherwise, no matter how well we develop, our impact on them will be very limited."

Pat's answer disappointed Otellini.

Nanshan Semiconductor has now broken through 14-nanometer technology and will officially start producing this high-end chip by the end of next year.

It turns out that it will indeed take another two years for our company to be ready.

For the chip industry, the day lily has gone cold in two years.

Otellini definitely couldn't accept this result and said: "We must speed up the research and development progress. We must make a breakthrough next year and enter large-scale mass production the year after that."

"At the same time, we need to join forces with TI and other chip companies to find ways to delay the mass production of Nanshan Semiconductor's 14nm chips."

Intel is definitely not willing to let a Chinese company break through its 14nm chip technology first. This is simply a disaster.

This is something Otellini absolutely cannot accept, and it is also a situation that Intel's board of directors does not want to see.

"This really needs to be communicated with other colleagues. I believe everyone does not want Nanshan Semiconductor to put 14nm chips into mass production so soon."

When it comes to suppressing Chinese semiconductor companies, Pat and Otellini's views are definitely highly consistent.

Other American companies have similar ideas.

So soon, Intel, the chip giant, took the initiative to contact various companies to discuss good ways to deal with Nanshan Semiconductor.

At the same time, as a chip equipment giant, ASML is also extremely anxious.

The chip industry alliance created by Nanshan Equipment has already made ASML uncomfortable before.

But at least ASML's technology is not lagging behind. At most, the cost is higher.

Whether TSMC, Samsung, or Intel are building new factories, they continue to purchase lithography machines from ASML.

But this time the situation is different.

Nanshan Equipment actually jointly announced with Nanshan Semiconductor that it had mastered 14nm chip technology. Is this amazing?

This means that Nanshan Equipment’s technology in lithography machines has surpassed that of ASML, which is definitely a disaster.

In the past few years, ASML has been living a very prosperous life relying on the world's highest level of photolithography machine technology.
