Bitcoin 2017 years of soaring trend, so that the global mining machine industry to make a pot full of profit, not only intend to be in 2018 again, to more advanced process technology, the pursuit of a new generation of chip design and development orders, but also intends to use high-speed computing competitive advantage, one foot into the artificial intelligence (AI) application field, in the human is a hero, Money is the style of the gall, recently, the world famous mining machine customers visit TSMC and related design services company, for HPC, AI Chip solutions put forward new ideas and product production schedule, but also set out regardless of the cost is to be in 2018 to mass production of the latest, strongest, fastest chip solution of the attempt to heart, It has also been a success for TSMC's top brass, and has even taken the initiative to meet a number of key customers, thanking them for becoming the main bearers of TSMC's latest 7 Nanotech technology in 2018. Taiwan's IC design industry pointed out that in fact, mining machine customers This category is very good, in Bitcoin and other virtual currencies have a certain amount can be limited, who dug the fastest, often represents the market winners, since the beginning of Bitcoin, mining machine customer is TSMC first into the process technology loyal enthusiasts, And a very good customer base, because they only care about the final performance of the chip, but not too concerned about the performance of the chip evaluation, after all, the higher the chip design services and wafer foundry prices, often on behalf of the higher market entry barriers, mining machine customers generous degree, have been beyond the imagination of the major alliance of TSMC, and therefore, in TSMC these years advanced process technology accelerated progress, the global mining machine customers are almost no service. And in the mining machine customers themselves commissioned the design of Chip solutions, has always been required to have the most high-speed computing capacity, and its own high-quality soft, firmware solution capabilities, in the face of the global AI application market opportunities for the blowout, but also to the mining machine customers looking for gorgeous turn of opportunity, turned into a new AI service program company; Among them, the recent bit mainland companies announced the world's first home Sophon TPU Chip Solutions BM1680, with cards and quasi-system services, and focus on in-depth learning and artificial intelligence emerging applications business opportunities, is one of the most vivid case, is expected to follow the AI trend in 2018, mining machine customers, is bound to be only a lot more. In the global mining machine customers are now full pockets, there is also a new AI application opportunities can be attempted, the company sent a positive transformation of the intention, has let this group of mining machine customers for the 2018 7/10 Nanotechnology and other advanced process technology, the desire to significantly exceed the rest of the wait-and-see and conservative attitude of the phone chip, GPU, CPU and DSP chip manufacturers. In the mining machine customers have always been with the TSMC units to maintain friendly relations of cooperation, and the business model is completely compatible with the services of TSMC's big league members, the global mining machine customers who are planning to put on AI jackets, which have recently been favored by TSMC's top executives, and even the industry rumors that they are on the pedestal, should not be unfounded.
