Today, the network uploaded a Huawei poster map. The content shows that Huawei will hold a press conference in Berlin, Germany on August 31. Some analysts believe that the protagonist of this release will be Huawei's latest generation Kirin 980 processor.
Just last week, Huawei's Nova3 release, Huawei's mobile terminal product line president He Gang said that Huawei will officially release the Kirin 980 processor at the IFA conference in September this year.
It is reported that this year's International Consumer Electronics Fair (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, IFA) was held at 2018.08.31 ~ 09.05.
Recent news about the Kirin 980 processor has been exposed a lot.
According to the news, Huawei Kirin 980 adopts TSMC's 7-nanometer process. The CPU is 4 A77+4 A55s, and the highest frequency is 2.8GHz. The GPU is independently developed by Huawei, and its performance is about 1.5 times that of Adreno 630 (骁龙845). In terms of baseband, Huawei released the 4.5G baseband balong 765 at the beginning of this year, supporting cat19, with a maximum download speed of 1.6Gbps. I wonder if it will join the Kirin 980.
At the same time, Kirin 980 will have built-in second-generation Cambrian NPU 1M, which will greatly improve AI performance.

2. The pain of China's chip industry: Datang Telecom sells for a living;
Datang Telecom recently announced that the company intends to transfer the housing of Beijing Research Center and its ancillary facilities at a transfer price of 1.35 billion. According to the company, as of the end of June 2018, the net value of the Beijing Research Center Building was 473 million yuan; After the taxes and fees, the company will receive 458 million yuan in revenue.
Why is a technology company selling a research building? What kind of difficulties has Datang Telecom encountered in the past few years? What is more worthy of attention is how the industry (integrated circuit (chip)) is in the industry.
The government's huge subsidies still do not help, and Datang Telecom has suffered huge losses of nearly 5 billion since its listing.
Datang Telecom's main business includes integrated circuit design, production, etc. In 1998, the company was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Since its listing, the company has passed equity placement, fixed-income and other equity financing of over 4 billion, with a specific amount of 4.042 billion. However, huge equity financing , but did not bring returns to the company's shareholders.
According to the financial report, in the first quarter of this year, Datang Telecom's total revenue was 565 million, a year-on-year drop of 63.56%; net profit was a loss of 153 million. If the net profit is deducted, the loss is more. The first three months of 2018 Datang Telecom’s non-net profit was a loss of 211 million. The following picture shows the total revenue and net profit of Datang Telecom over the years according to the financial report of Cailian:
Not only in the first quarter of 2018; In recent years, Datang Telecom is falling into a quagmire of losses. In 2017, the company's net profit was a loss of 2.649 billion, a loss of 1.776 billion in 2016. In fact, since its listing in 1998, Datang Telecom The total net profit was a loss of 4.955 billion.
In addition, if there is no huge government subsidy, Datang Telecom's losses may be even greater. In 2011-2017 alone, the amount of government subsidies received was as high as 1.148 billion.
In explaining its huge losses in 2017, Datang Telecom said that in 2017, the competition in the main industries of the company is still fierce. In the chip field, the terminal chip upgrade is accelerated, the competition is more intense, education, water conservancy, smart city, highway and other industry information. Competition in the chemical sector has intensified; in this context, the company abandoned some of its low-margin products, causing the company's performance to fall sharply.
Continuous losses face the pressure of shelling: Datang Telecom sells for survival?
Due to losses in 2016 and 2017 for two consecutive years, the Shanghai Stock Exchange implemented a delisting risk warning for Datang Telecom. Its stock abbreviation was changed from Datang Telecom to *ST Datang (6.17 -1.28%, diagnostic stock).
In the first quarter of this year, Datang Telecom once again suffered losses. It is well known that if a listed company loses money for three consecutive years, it will face a situation of suspension of listing, which means that Datang Telecom faces pressure from the shell this year.
The research building that the company intends to transfer may be one of the means of the company's shell protection. Datang Telecom announced that the company intends to transfer the building to Beijing Haiguo Yongfeng Technology. Currently, the transaction has been approved by the company's board of directors. The shareholders' meeting and the relevant departments of Beijing are still required for approval.
It is worth noting that the building's huge appreciation. The company's announcement shows that the Beijing Research Center building began construction in July 2014, completed in June 2017, and obtained the “No Property Certificate” in May 2018, as of this year. At the end of the month, the total cost of the project was 49.742 million, with a depreciation of 24.34 million and a net book value of 473.08 million. According to the company, the estimated value of the building is 1.35 billion, and the evaluation rate is as high as 183.37%.
Datang Telecom's sale is amazing, because the building has just obtained a title certificate and immediately sold it at a high price. It is a real estate agent. In fact, Datang Telecom is cutting its research expenditures sharply. In 2017, the company developed Expenditure was 634 million, a year-on-year drop of 29.07%.
Chip imports in the first half of the year hit a record high: chip imports surged 35%
However, when Datang Telecom cut R&D expenses and sold the research building, China's chip imports hit a record high.
According to the data of the General Administration of Customs, in the first half of this year, China’s chip imports amounted to US$146.075 billion, a surge of 35.2% compared with US$108.507 billion in the same period of the previous year. The following picture shows the Chinese calendar year drawn by the Associated Press according to the data of the General Administration of Customs. The trend of chip imports in the first half of the year:
In fact, not only in the first half of this year, in recent years, China’s imports of integrated circuits are very high. In 2017, the import value of integrated circuits was as high as 260.115 billion US dollars; in 2016, the import value of integrated circuits was even twice that of crude oil imports. According to statistics, in the past ten years (2008 - the first half of 2018), the import value of China's integrated circuits was as high as 2.08 trillion US dollars, equivalent to 14 trillion yuan.
According to the IHS report, China has already become the world's largest chip consumer region due to its huge electronics manufacturing and mass consumer market. The report predicts that the value of semiconductors shipped to China in 2017 will be approximately $189 billion, accounting for approximately 44.1% of the global semiconductor value. %. In this context, Datang Telecom sold the research building and drastically cut research and development expenses, which is heartbreaking!
