In fact, in addition to Hisilicon, there is an undervalued chip giant in China, with an annual income of11700 million, which is the overlord in many fields. What kind of domestic chip company is this? Huawei Hisilicon has a successor?
Unlike some countries and regions with leading chip manufacturing strength, most domestic enterprises focus on chip design.
On the one hand, the development cycle of chip design is shorter than that of chip manufacturing, on the other hand, it is not as difficult as chip manufacturing. Therefore, many domestic semiconductor companies rely on chip design, and the most typical representative is Huawei Hisilicon.
But don't underestimate the chip design, if there is no designed chip, the chip manufacturing industry simply can't start. Chip design also needs to spend a lot of R&D resources, always hundreds of millions and billions of investment.
People focus on Huawei Hisilicon, but ignore that there are other chip giants with outstanding strength and outstanding market performance in China. This underestimated domestic chip giant is Ziguang Zhanrui.
For Ziguang Zhanrui, the familiarity of the outside world should not be as high as that of Huawei Hisilicon, but this will not affect the progress made by Ziguang Zhanrui in the market industry.
According to the data given by Ziguang Zhanrui, the annual revenue of 202 11700 million increased by 78% year-on-year. Looking back at the quarterly revenue data of Ziguang Zhanrui 202 1, in the first three quarters of this year, Ziguang Zhanrui's revenue increased by 1 17% and smartphone sales increased by 168%.
All the data show that Ziguang Zhanrui is accelerating its rise. This domestic chip company, founded in 20 13, has long been ignored.
Because in the main smart phone market, there is not much contact between consumers and Ziguang Zhanrui. Perhaps because of the performance of the chip, the samurai series of Ziguang Zhanrui is only used for functional machines. Among the mid-to-high-end models, domestic manufacturers prefer to buy processors from Qualcomm or MediaTek.
As an indispensable electronic device in life, mobile phone is the most direct product for consumers. If you can't occupy a place in the smart phone market, naturally you can't enter the vision of more consumers.
Although the market share of smart phone chips is not as high as that of Qualcomm and MediaTek, Ziguang Zhanrui still dominates in many fields. For example, Ziguang Zhanrui owns about 80% of the market share of public walkie-talkies, and has won the global market share in the field of LTE Cat. 1 chips, which is better than Qualcomm.
In addition, people use people's livelihood services such as SIM, ID cards and bank cards, and almost all of them use Ziguang Zhanrui's chips.
Perhaps from the outside world, only companies that occupy a place on smart phone chips can be regarded as giants, but you should know that smart phones are not the whole of life. Ziguang Zhanrui's chip products cover all aspects of people's lives, and most of the conceivable processor fields, such as communication chips, TV terminal chips and baseband chips, have Ziguang Zhanrui's figure.
The key point is that even if the strength of Ziguang Zhanrui products is so outstanding, it is still ignored by many people. Just like some details, although important, they are still easily overlooked.
Therefore, Ziguang Zhanrui is an undervalued chip giant. If we really want to compare, it seems that there is no second company in China that can compete with Ziguang Zhanrui in the market of people's livelihood services and sub-chips.
With the rapid development of global chip industry, new processor products will appear every once in a while. Together with TSMC, Samsung, the two giants, will accelerate the mass production of high-end chips. It won't be long before 3nm will appear in the market, and it will even enter the era of 2nm chip technology in the future.
Although mainland chip manufacturing has not made such achievements for the time being, domestic 4nm and 3nm chips could have been born if conditions allowed. If Huawei Hisilicon is not bound by the rules, it will certainly continue to develop more advanced process chips than Kirin 9000, and start to face the future and bring world-leading chip products to consumers.
However, everyone knows the situation of Hess. Although Hisilicon can continue to participate in chip design and research and development, these designed chips can't be found by TSMC.
At this time, more breakthrough forces are needed to carry Hess's will and move on. Judging from the strength of Ziguang Zhanrui, does it mean that Huawei Hisilicon has a successor?
In fact, anything is possible. At present, Ziguang Zhanrui has designed a 6nm chip processor, which can be supplied to major mobile phone manufacturers. 6nm has entered the high-end ranks. Since 6nm can be designed, it is very possible to develop 5nm or more advanced 4nm in the future.
The road ahead is still very long. Huawei Hisilicon just stops to have a rest and will start again sooner or later. However, Ziguang Zhanrui took over the baton from Hayes, and believed that Ziguang Zhanrui would not turn back until it reached the other side of victory.
Ziguang Zhanrui can not be ignored, and its strength is beyond doubt. As one of the few companies in China that can design general-purpose chips, the future of Ziguang Zhanrui is expected.
What do you think of Ziguang Zhanrui?
