There are only 4 7nm chips in the world, 2 in China, 1 in the United States, and 1 in South Korea
At present, there are only four 7nm processes in the world, two in China, one in the United States, and one in South Korea.
How much do you know about the 7nm process?This is currently the world's most cutting-edge chip production process!However, this project is very difficult, so far, only four companies have this ability, and China, but occupy two places!Yes, TSMC and SMIC both have mastered the 7nm process, which is on a par with Intel and Samsung. Among the four major manufacturers, which one has the best 7nm process?Chinese companies can occupy 2 seats, what is the level of our China's integrated circuit industry?Come and see!
What does the 7nm process mean?It can be said that this is a very advanced process, and it is also the most advanced semiconductor process so far. For enterprises, the 7nm process not only requires strong technical force, but also strong capital, which is also not available to many semiconductor companies.
Therefore, only the four major companies in the world, TSMC, Samsung, Intel, and SMIC, have 7nm processes. These four companies are all the top semiconductor companies in the world.
TSMC is a leading company in the 7nm process, and their 3nm process technology has also entered the commercial stage. TSMC has a 56% share of the world's chip production, showing its huge advantage over its competitors.
In third place is Samsung, the world's second-largest Samsung, which also has a 3nm process. However, the industry's view of Samsung's 3nm process is not optimistic, and it is regarded as inferior to TSMC, and the process produced by its process is only the same as TSMC's 5nm process.
However, all this will not be determined until Samsung's 3nm process matures, and at present, Samsung's 3nm process technology is no worse than TSMC. Samsung is also not a vegetarian and is one of the world's leading semiconductor companies.
Intel, on the other hand, is one of the most famous IDM companies in the world, which is developed by themselves from design to production, and has 7nm process technology. However, there have always been disagreements in the industry about how powerful Intel's 7nm process is, some say that it is about the same as TSMC's 7nm, and some say that it is about the same as TSMC's 7nm.
Finally, let's take a look at China's SMIC, their 14nm process is already close to the 7nm process. SMIC has always been a confidential and low-key company in the industry, and its related technical information is rarely released to the public, so not many people know about its specific process level.
However, one thing is certain, SMIC, as a state-owned enterprise supported by the world, has received enough attention in both technology and capital, and its achievements in the process will definitely not be low. It is recognized in the industry that SMIC is on a par with TSMC in terms of manufacturing process, and both belong to the 7nm process.
Therefore, among the world's four major semiconductor companies, China occupies two seats, one is TSMC and the other is SMIC. It can be seen that China's process technology at the scale of 7 nanometers has reached the world's top level.
The article has generated a lot of buzz online, and it roughly revolves around the following questions:
1. Why are there two 7nm semiconductor companies in China?Which of these two companies is more powerful?
2. How strong are China's two 7nm process manufacturers compared with Samsung and Intel?Can you surpass them?
3. After mastering the 7nm process, what is China's position and role in the world chip industry?What is the future of China's chip industry?
For a while, netizens on the Internet talked a lot, some people said that China has strong R&D capabilities in 7nm technology, while SMIC and TSMC have strong scientific and technological heritage. Other netizens said that compared with companies such as Samsung and Intel, Chinese companies still need to improve. Other netizens said that China's integrated circuit industry is developing faster than the rest of the world, and that China's integrated circuit industry has a bright future.
Judging from the above analysis, 7nm chips are currently the most advanced process, and currently only two companies, TSMC and SMIC, have them. These two companies have strong scientific and technological strength, and are on an equal footing with Intel, Samsung and other companies, and are among the most advanced technology companies in the world.
In particular, TSMC has more than half of the world's chip manufacturers, and its chip technology is considered to be the top in the industry. Therefore, China's 7nm process level has ranked among the top in the world, which will play an important role in improving the comprehensive level of the domestic integrated circuit industry and its position in the world.
In the long run, China will continue to lead the world in the field of 7nm and above technology, lay a solid foundation for the development of the country's electronic information industry, and eventually form a complete set of independent control system.
It is clear that China is a global leader in the 7nm process. Whether it is TSMC or SMIC, they are a force to be reckoned with. What new opportunities and challenges will China's semiconductor industry face in the future?How can Chinese companies better improve their core competencies?All this remains to be seen.
