The largest chip manufacturing plant is shut down!Intel CEO sternly "warned".
Intel CEO issued a stern warning to the United States!
If there were no orders from China, Intel wouldn't need to build"The world's largest wafer manufacturing base"。That's what Intel's current CEO, Pat Kissinger, said, but so is the current state of the global integrated circuit industry.
Although the tablet industry is a global technology industry, its supporting orders come from related **chain enterprises all over the world. However, China is the world's largest producer of consumer electronics such as smartphones, computers, TVs, and automobiles, and its products are sold all over the world, which is a strong support for the huge demand for tablets.
According to market research firm Gartner**, the global integrated circuit market will exceed $580 billion by 2022, of which the Chinese market is the world's largest semiconductor integrated circuit market, accounting for one-third of global sales.
For many years, Intel has been playing the role of the world's largest manufacturer of personal computer and processor components, and has set up several R&D centers and laboratories in the Chinese market since entering the Chinese market in 1985.
According to different data**, Intel China's revenue reached 171 in 2022$2.5 billion, accounting for 27% of total global revenue. And in 2021, Intel China's revenue was 229$6.1 billion, or 25% of total global revenue.
It can be seen that Intel has a huge customer base in China, including computer manufacturers, telecom operators, data center operators, etc. These customers have a large market share in China, so selling products in China is fundamental to Intel's success.
For Intel, it had planned to invest $100 billion to build"The world's largest chip manufacturing base"This is based on the growing demand in the global market, but also to improve its own market competitiveness, after all, AMD and other peers are struggling to catch up.
According to Intel, the program will create thousands of high-paying jobs in the coming years and spur the development of related semiconductor industries.
However, in China and the United States"Chip Wars"In the absence of orders from the Chinese market, the necessity of Intel's plan is questioned. Because the demand for chips in the Chinese market is very large, and China's chip industry is also developing rapidly.
Since July, the financial data of China's semiconductor wafer-related enterprises over the years show that all enterprises have achieved varying degrees of growth, especially China's semiconductor equipment manufacturing enterprises have shown strong competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets.
With China's technological innovation and industrial modernization in the field of semiconductors, the market share of domestic semiconductor equipment is expected to continue to increase. Therefore, if Intel loses the Chinese market due to the impact of the United States' restrictions on chip upgrades, it will be very difficult for Intel.
Of course, Intel has been aware of the importance of the Chinese market from the very beginning and has continuously strengthened its cooperation with Chinese companies. For example, Intel has partnered with Chinese internet companies such as Tencent, and Alibaba to provide cloud computing services.
In addition, Intel is partnering with automakers in China to provide intelligent driving technology. These collaborations will bring more opportunities and benefits to Intel and help it expand its market share in China.
So, in general, the CEO of Intel Corporation will issue the aforementioned stern warning: if the United States does not stop China's escalating restrictions on tablets, Biden shouted earlier"Made in the USA"slogans will be seriously threatened.
