Founder of TSMCZhang ZhongmouRecently, he participated in the inauguration ceremony of TSMC's Japanese wafer factory and said that he would help JapanSemiconductor industryRevival. However, what he probably didn't expect was that at this time the mainlandChipsThe industry is developing rapidly, and even his old employer, TSMC, has begun to lay off the mainland R&D team, which has been described by foreign media as the beginning of the "relocation" of American companies.
Zhang ZhongmouNever played a positive role. He had blocked Zhang Rujing's construction of a factory on the mainland and suedSMICto force it to leave. In addition, he also actively cooperated with the US sanctions and stopped givingHuaweiOEMKirinChips。Right now, the mainlandChipsThe industry is booming, whileZhang ZhongmouHowever, it openly supports the US side against ChinaChipsRestriction and said that building a factory in the United States has realized a dream for many years. He also vigorously promoted the construction of TSMC's Japanese wafer factory, saying that he would actively help JapanSemiconductor industryRevival. This will undoubtedly have an impact on our countryChipsThe industry has had an adverse impact, but it can't stop usChipsThe rise of .
Texas InstrumentsAs the world's largestSemiconductorsOne of the manufacturers with a powerful simulationChipsStrength. However, in the face of continental simulationChipsCompetition andSemiconductorsUnder the double shock of the downward cycle,Texas Instrumentshad to slam the price and launch a simulationChips** Battle。However, this one** BattleIt did not have a positive impact on its performance. Last yearTexas InstrumentsAccording to the financial report, its revenue fell by 13% year-on-year, and net profit fell by 30% year-on-year. The situation in the first quarter of this year is also not optimistic, and the performance is facing a decline. In response to the decline in performance,Texas InstrumentsMeasures have to be taken to reduce the burden of layoffs. Recently, there has been news thatTexas InstrumentsBeijing has been abolishedPower management chipsDesign team, the team size is about 50 people. It can be seen from thisTexas InstrumentsIn and in the countryPower management chipsIt is no longer able to cope with the fierce competition, which may also be related to the tension between China and the United States. In May last year,Texas InstrumentsThe MCU R&D team of the Shanghai R&D center was abolished, and the original MCU R&D line was moved to India. This is similar to the situation in which Micron moved to India after closing its Shanghai R&D center and disbanding the DRAM design team. It is worth mentioning that Apple is also constantly transferring its industrial chain to India, and many large companies such as Dell and HP also gradually withdrew from the mainland market last year.
Foreign media bluntly said that American companies collectively "ran away", and mainland enterprises rose in an all-round way. Not onlyTexas InstrumentsFaced with declining performance and layoffs, many U.S. companies have also begun to withdraw. This is related to the strong rise of Chinese enterprises in many fields. HuaweiChinese companies have demonstrated strong competitiveness on the global stage, which has put some foreign companies under pressure. Therefore, not only is there pressure from the U.S. side, but our companies are growing rapidly and expanding their fields, which has led to the withdrawal of U.S. companies.
With the continentChipsThe rapid rise of the industry has not only enabled domestic enterprises to achieve a strong position in many fields, but also forced some foreign companies to make strategic adjustments. LikeTexas InstrumentsSuchSemiconductorsThe giants have always been across the globeSemiconductorsThe market occupies an important position, but inConsumer electronicsand the InternetTechnologyIn the context of rapid development, they face enormous challenges. Face the continent simulationChipsThe rise of competition andSemiconductorsdownward pressure on the industry,Texas InstrumentsMeasures have to be taken to reduce the burden of layoffs. This is ample proof of the continentChipsThe strength and competitiveness of the industry have been internationally recognized. At the same time, foreign media said that American companies collectively "ran away", which further highlighted the trend of the comprehensive rise of Chinese enterprises. And for our countryChipsFor the industry, this is not only an opportunity, but also a responsibility. We need to accelerate technological innovation and independent research and development to improveChipsThe core competitiveness of the industry. Only in this way can we be at this highTechnologyGreater breakthroughs and progress have been made in the field.
