Kína most jutott el oda, hogy már nem elég a termékeket lemásolni, hanem saját ötletre és technológiára van szükség. Kérdés hogy ez mennyire fog nekik menni.
The U.S. had pushed the Dutch government to prohibit the delivery of ASML machines to China that are needed to make the 4-7 nanometer structures of today’s most advanced computer chips. Two weeks ago the U.S. started a push to prohibit ASML from delivering even its older models to China.
But a U.S. Canadian company recently found out that China’ SMIC is already mass producing 7 nm chips. That capability had not been announced:
“This is the most advanced technology product TechInsights has seen from SMIC so far and may be leading to a true 7nm process that incorporates scaled logic and memory bitcells,” TechInsights said.
…
Chip world watcher Dylan Patel noted another implication for SMIC’s 7nm capabilities. He said the development means China is now further ahead than the US or Europe in having 7nm contract chip manufacturing capabilities since American chipmaker Intel has yet to make its 7nm process available to foundry customers.
China is also building more chip factories than anyone else:
China is leading the world in building new chip factories, a step toward achieving more self-sufficiency in semiconductors that could eventually make some buyers reliant on China for many of the basic chips now in short supply.
As chip makers race worldwide to boost production and ease supply shortages, no country is expanding faster than China, which is slated to build 31 major semiconductor factories, known as fabs, during the four years through 2024, according to the chip-industry group SEMI.
Up to now China had imported $300 billion of chips per year. When all of China’s new fabs are ready most of that money will stay in China. Chip producers in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and the U.S. will have to seek new customers or lower their own output.
The space stations and the chip sanctions only demonstrates the inevitable consequences of being hostile towards large countries like Russia and China.
They have enough alternatives to substitute sanctioned products and to eventually develop their own production capabilities.
All this while the U.S. and its allies lose market shares.
Csak ennyire 31 gyárat építenek. kb lefognak nyomni minden árat.
