1, the cost of the film.
"Slider" refers to "trial production", that is, after designing the circuit, dozens of pieces are produced for testing. If the test passes, mass production will begin. The cost of 7nm FinFET streamer is about USD 30 million (referring to the cost of Kirin 990 streamer, and considering that MediaTek and TSMC both belong to Taiwan Province Province of China, there may be preferential treatment), which is about RMB 2 1 10,000 yuan; Kirin 990 processor is being produced by TSMC's 7nm plus EUV process (the second generation of 7nm process is more mature, and EUV ultraviolet lithography technology is added), and the cost of streaming alone is as high as 30 million US dollars.
2. Authorized purchase fee for intellectual property rights
The Licensee will pay the Licensor a license fee to obtain the intellectual property rights, and pay the Licensor a royalty of 1% ~ 3% of the final selling price of the chip in the sales of the final chip products. The license fee covers the cost of IP development, while the royalty is used as the profit of IP design company.
According to the life cycle of 50 million PCs, the purchase cost of various IP licenses is about 2 billion according to each 40 yuan. Only one ARM CPU is authorized, which is about $65.438+0 billion each time.
3. Besides the complex APU, the self-developed components also include multimode communication baseband (2G/3G/4G/5G, etc. ), camera ISP (image signal processor), various control switches, micronucleus, etc. This part is difficult to estimate and is the result of long-term research and development. This part of the cost is temporarily calculated at RMB 654.38+0 billion.
4. Qualcomm patent fee
Calculated by 50 million pieces, each piece will be paid 10 yuan, that is, 500 million yuan.
5, R&D engineer salary bonus
1 0,000 engineers, calculated at 500,000 per year, three years is 65.438+0.5 billion.
Labor cost accounts for the main part of R&D cost, and the efficiency of project development is related to the number of senior engineers. The annual salary of domestic senior chip design engineers is generally between 500 ~ 1 10,000 yuan. EDA tool is a chip design tool and the cornerstone of developing VLSI. EDA tools can effectively improve product yield.
The procurement cost of EDA tools for designing a chip by a 20-person R&D team is $6,543,800+0,000/year (including the procurement cost of ip such as EDA and LPDDR). NVIDIA used 2000 engineers to develop Xavier, and the development cost was * * * 2 billion dollars. Xlinix ACAP Company uses 1500 engineers, and the total development cost is * * * US$ 1 billion.
The above items * * * are 2+20+10+5+15 = 5.2 billion RMB.
That's right, 5.2 billion! And these do not include the cost of building development and ecological construction.
