ZTE's US sales ban caused the chip to become a hotly debated topic for the entire nation. The importance of 'China Core' began to sink into ordinary consumers. Zeng Xuezhong believed that if steel is the foundation of the industrial age, chips are the foundation of the digital age. The semiconductor industry has determined the future development of the world.
According to customs statistics, China imported 92.36 billion integrated circuits in January-March 2018, an increase of 18.1% year-on-year; Import value was US$70.05 billion, an increase of 38.7% year-on-year. Exports of ICs totaled 47.66 billion, an increase of 11.4% year-on-year. Export value was 18.07 billion yuan. The US dollar, up 34% year-on-year. It can be seen that the development of China's IC industry is still heavily dependent on imports.
However, Zeng Xuezhong believed that in the past 30 to 40 years, the global chip industry was dominated by U.S., Japan, and European companies, and the high-end market was almost monopolized by them. However, in the next 10 years or even longer, China’s chip market share will continue to expand. .
In the entire chip industry, chip design has always been at the top position. Its contribution to the industry and the industry is 1:10: 100. One dollar chip can shake the industry's market value of 100 yuan. This is why chip design. As a leader in the integrated circuit industry.
According to the latest data from the China Semiconductor Industry Association, the total size of the domestic IC industry reached 541.13 billion yuan in 2017, up 24.8% year-on-year. Among them, the IC design industry increased by 26.1% year-on-year, and the scale reached 207.35 billion yuan, which exceeded that of the packaging and testing and manufacturing industries. The largest industry in the circuit industry.
It is worth mentioning that Ziguang Zengrui has already been at the forefront of China's IC design battlefield. According to statistics from IC Insights, a market research organization, in 2017, the world's top 10 chip design rankings, Ziguang Zengrui and Huawei Hass as Representatives of Chinese companies occupy two of them.
However, how does the future of chip design go? Zeng Xuezhong said that the world is flat and the future global semiconductor market should develop in parallel. You have me, you have me, and you have the whole world. Therefore, you need to work hard. To two points: First, independent innovation, and second, international cooperation. And Ziguang Zengru has been practicing these two points in the process of progress.
First of all, in terms of independent innovation, from 2G, 3G to 4G to the current 5G, Ziguang Zunrui always insists on independent innovation, and has achieved a number of innovations with global influence. In 2018 Zhan Rui launched the SC9850KH chip platform, which is China's first truly domestically-developed domestically produced CPU chip is also China's first 4G chip platform with independent intellectual property rights embedded CPU key technology. At the same time, Zhanrui also launched the first 8-core artificial intelligence chip platform SC9863, which is a mainstream consumer. Entering the 5G era, the AI era lays a solid foundation.
In addition, in terms of international cooperation, Ziguang Zengru is also an industry model for domestic IC design companies. Ziguang Group is a major shareholder of Ziguang Zhanrui, and the world’s top giant Intel is also an important shareholder. Both of you have me and I have you. Multi-dimensional depth cooperation.
According to the micro-grid, in 2018 Zhanrui opened the '5G chip global leading strategy' in R&D of 5G, and has successively reached strategic cooperation with China Mobile, Intel, Huawei, Keysight Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz, and is committed to creating China's 5G high-end chip has become one of the world's leading brands of 5G chips. It plans to launch the first 5G chip in 2018 and the first commercial 5G mobile platform in the second half of 2019 to achieve simultaneous deployment with the deployment of 5G mobile networks.
