Chapter 544 Qualcomm's Change (35)
In addition, Samsung Semiconductor and Intel are also having a hard time.

The stock price of Samsung Semiconductor also collapsed, almost cut in half.

Under the pressure of mortal semiconductors, the master TSMC can't stand it, let alone the apprentice Samsung?
Fortunately, there are Samsung's own chips and Qualcomm supporting it, otherwise Samsung Semiconductor is likely to follow in the footsteps of TSMC and be completely finished.

Intel was also hit hard, with its stock price down about 20 percent.

Fortunately, TSMC's main field is PC chips, and Mortal Semiconductor has not yet made efforts in the field of PC chips, so the impact on Intel has become the smallest.

Of course, Wang Fan also kept his promise and did not take the initiative to touch the big customers they depend on for survival.

For example, Samsung's major customer Qualcomm, TSMC's only remaining Nvidia, LG, etc...

Otherwise, if at this time, Wang Fan came to kill the grass and roots again, the three giants would probably die faster.

It will even arouse the forces behind it, as well as the relevant government's fierce reaction, thus causing a lot of trouble for mortal technology.

This situation is something Wang Fan does not want to see for the time being.

After all, the current mortal technology is not yet full-fledged, and it is not suitable for a big situation like Zongheng.

But soon, Wang Fan's layout gradually improved, and the influence of Mortal Technology on a global scale increased dramatically.

Even entering the military field, with enough capabilities at that time, maybe everything will become different.

And Wang Fan's behavior style at that time didn't have to be so restrained!

However, for TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, the best way to deal with it is to euthanize or boil the frog in warm water.

It doesn't matter if they let them dance for a while, anyway, Wang Fan is not bad for these few months!
But if Wang Fan doesn't take the initiative to make a move, it doesn't mean that the other party won't take the initiative to send it to the door!

Just like this day, an uninvited guest came to Mortal Technology.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Fan was a little surprised, so he had to rush from home to Mortal Technology.

Half an hour later, in the conference room, Wang Fan and Qualcomm CEO Albert Kingsley sat opposite each other.

"Oh, what wind brought you here, haha." Wang Fan looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile.

Albert Kingsley shook his head and complained: "You are a difficult guy. To be honest, I wouldn't have come if I hadn't been forced to."

Wang Fan was dumbfounded, too, as Qualcomm CEO Albert Kingsley, he was very popular everywhere, and he walked sideways.

Samsung has to give them patent fees, and Huawei has to pay them, even Apple.

But when he came to Wang Fan, he was deflated and cheated again and again!

Whether it was the CDMA incident, the baseband dispute, or patent licensing, he was completely messed up by Wang Fan, and his pants fell off.

"Haha." Wang Fan smiled awkwardly: "You Qualcomm will still have a last resort? Not necessarily!"

"It's not because of you!" Albert Kingsley said angrily.

Wang Fan was a little puzzled: "Us?"

"You mortal peninsulas gave Huawei and TSMC the most advanced 14nm technology, which greatly improved the performance of their chips."

Albert Kingsley said helplessly: "You know, Qualcomm didn't pay attention to their so-called flagship chips of the year before. Because their chips are about 2 generations behind ours, and their flagship chips are not as good as Our mid-range chip."

Wang Fan nodded, this is not an exaggeration.

The gap between MediaTek and Huawei Hisilicon and Qualcomm in the chip field is really 2 generations.

Especially in terms of GPU and baseband, as well as process technology, the difference is not 01:30.

Like the original plan, MediaTek's flagship chip x20 adopts a deca-core design.

Huawei HiSilicon's annual flagship chip, the Kirin 950, uses TSMC's 16nm chip.

But their real level, not to mention that they cannot be compared with Qualcomm's flagship chip Snapdragon 820 in the same period, even Qualcomm's mid-range chip Snapdragon 650.652 can beat both.

There is no way to do this, the gap in background and technology is too great.

But now that MediaTek and Huawei are replaced by mortal semiconductors, leading the world in 14nm process technology, everything will be completely different.

Based on Mortal Technology's 14nm process technology, whether it is MediaTek's x20 or Huawei's Kirin 950, the performance has been greatly improved.

It may still be inferior to Qualcomm's flagship chip Snapdragon 820, but the gap has been greatly reduced, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 652 is more than enough.

Therefore, if this development continues, with the support of the advanced technology of ordinary semiconductors, MediaTek and Huawei HiSilicon can continue to improve and develop.

This makes Qualcomm can't help worrying, which is also the reason for Qualcomm CEO's trip to China.

After all, the production capacity or technology of mortal semiconductors is much stronger than that of Samsung semiconductors!

"You know, we Qualcomm, it is impossible to sit back and watch Huawei Hisilicon and MediaTek rise with your advanced and mature technology, and remain indifferent." Albert Kingsley said very directly.

Wang Fan asked: "Is our craftsmanship so exaggerated?"

Albert Kingsley nodded: "Of course, we have tested that your 14nm process is more than 15% stronger than TSMC's. Before that, Huawei's Kirin 950 was going to launch TSMC's 16nm, but that Compared with the 14nm of your mortal semiconductors, the performance at that time is about 20% worse. The power consumption is even worse!"

"In addition, we admit that Samsung's 14nm technology is not as good as TSMC's 16nm technology. Therefore, once Mortal Semiconductor's 14nm technology is launched, the performance of our Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 will, conservatively, increase by 20% in an instant! "

"20%?" Wang Fan frowned slightly. Not only was he not happy about it, but on the contrary, he was a little anxious.

Because he suddenly realized a serious problem. This time, it seemed that he had cheated Apple inadvertently, and it was miserable...

Seeing Wang Fan's strange behavior, Albert Kingsley couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, Director Wang, is there something on your mind?"

Wang Fan smiled and shook his head: "Hehe, no, it's just that I was a little surprised by the gap."

Albert Kingsley nodded and did not ask again: "The 20% gap in performance and the 30% gap in power consumption are enough to shake Qualcomm's position. More essentially, Huawei and MediaTek now have With your advanced technology bonus, if Qualcomm continues to follow Samsung to the black, the gap between Huawei, MediaTek, and Qualcomm will continue to narrow. We cannot sit idly by."

Wang Fan shook his head: "I'm sorry, you should know. In order to prevent us from taking your order, Samsung specially sold us 3 first-class fabs. I'm sorry."
