Samsung Semiconductor has a loss of nearly 13 trillion and is at risk of collapse!
With the advent of Huawei's Kirin chips, Qualcomm and Apple's market share declined, Huawei experienced its heyday, and even occupied 56% of the market share at one point, Huawei achieved great success in 5G technology, making the United States feel the threat of Asia for the first time. Huawei's decline ended with a series of US sanctions, and Apple's rise made it all so real and powerless!
However, Huawei did not give up, but strengthened its determination, began to develop 100% independent R&D, and continued to increase R&D efforts. At the end of August last year, Huawei launched the Mate60 equipped with Kirin chips, which means that Huawei has successfully broken through the first difficulty by virtue of its independent production of high-end chips! With the booming sales of the Mate60 series, Huawei has also launched a series of chips, which it can be said that Huawei has won for three consecutive years"Chip Wars"！
However, a few families rejoiced and a few families were sad, this time"Chip Wars"The biggest winner is not Qualcomm, nor Apple, nor Intel, but Samsung from South Korea! As we all know, South Korea used to be the hegemon of the semiconductor industry, it has a core position in the semiconductor industry, Samsung in its heyday because it occupied more than 45% of the global market, and in 2017, Samsung surpassed Apple to become the world's most profitable company.
However, with the change of chip regulations, Samsung has completely become a counterweight for the United States to balance Chinese companies"Chess pieces", because South Korea belongs to the United States in international relations"Little brother", and the United States itself belongs to the source of the semiconductor industry, with a considerable amount of advanced technology, so Samsung has to side with the United States. The United States has made mandatory changes to chip regulations, which means that Samsung cannot export memory chips to the Chinese market, and Samsung in order to meet"Chip bills", invested 17 billion yuan in Texas, but Samsung got nothing, let alone anything"Chip subsidy"Finish! o!
What makes Samsung even more sad is that it is in the United States"Prohibition of Sales"Later, Biden banned Samsung and Hynix from selling in the Chinese market. Not only that, but for this one"Bearish", the United States also"Infringement of patent rights", so a huge fine of up to 400 billion was imposed on Samsung, which is almost equivalent to depriving Samsung of two-thirds of its revenue in the entire first quarter of 2022, which hurts Samsung's vitality!
According to the latest statistics, Samsung's operating profit in fiscal year 2022 fell by 84% year-on-year92%, of which 12% was in the semiconductor business700 million won, close to 1.3 billion won, on the verge of bankruptcy! Despite the return of Huawei's Kirin chips to China and the indefinite license granted to Samsung by the United States, it will take a long time for the company to recover. In order to cope with the current"Bankruptcy crisis", Samsung's semiconductor business has also begun to lay off employees on a large scale, and even froze the salaries of some executives, it can be said that Samsung has become"Tablet Wars""Cannon fodder"！!
In terms of memory chips, Yangtze River Storage, Loongson and other companies are in the forefront, and now the technical level and output are rising, which can completely replace the original Core, Samsung and other companies, so even if Samsung has obtained the United States"Perpetual immunity"It is difficult to return to its former glory, after all, China's chip industry has begun to grow! I agree with the nod, yes!
