Recently, at the international supercomputer conference held in Frankfurt, Germany, made in China ", compared to the light of the taihu lake, "super computer. Previously, the world's fastest supercomputer was developed by the national university of defense technology "tianhe ii. Although "tianhe ii consecutive years ranked first in the list of super computer, but its core component is still an Intel processor, it was not until the" great power, the light of the taihu lake "for the first time the chip production in the country.
Chips used in computers, consumer electronics, network communications, automotive electronics and other fields, although China super computer chip to achieve the domestic, but in most industries, the chip made in China is still highly dependent on imports. The Chinese academy of social sciences published in the "2014 economic blue book said 90% of China's domestic chip from the imports. The general administration of customs of the relevant statistics also support the idea that, in 2015 China's net imports of integrated circuits for 131.257 billion, net imports reached $160.865 billion.
Although China's chip industry for many years, also formed a number of large enterprises, but is still in a relatively backward in the global market place. Investigators IC insights recently released worldwide fab performance status in 2015. In the main chip market IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturer, and integrator Manufacturer) manufacturers, the United States, South Korea, Europe and Japan to hold the status of the top 10, which Intel to $50.305 billion in sales at the top, followed by the samsung to $39.366 billion in sales. In the absence of wafer manufacturers, China have haisi semiconductors and show letter communications companies in the top ten, but sales are relatively small, add up sales of the two companies is still lower than Taiwan chip giant mediatek, the main market share is still dominated by companies such as qualcomm, broadcom.
Overall, China's chip business technique level and the industry's giants like Intel, qualcomm, still have very big disparity, most Chinese chip manufacturer located in the middle and lower reaches of the integrated circuit industry, mainly engaged in the wafer foundry and encapsulation testing work, in a more technical content of the upstream link is poor performance. Although the Chinese government plans to increase the rate of integrated circuits in 2025 to 70%, but according to McKinsey, a consultancy, the requirements in the next decade the global all new capacity to the ground in China, for China's manufacturing costs are rising very difficult.
In addition, the road of independent research and development of China's domestic chip is fraught with difficulty, on the one hand, the "han xin door" 2006 such fraud incident, on the other hand native "dragon chip" although the country's strong support, but due to the platform, the lack of hard and software vendors support, finally it is difficult to enter the consumer market.
