Shanhai, according to media reports on September 23, Beijing kunlun capital management co., LTD. And d/a semiconductor company in silicon valley) jointly announced on the same day, the two sides have reached a final deal, mountains and the kunlun consortium will be $500 million for a mathematical model of all outstanding shares in silicon valley.
As this transaction needs regulatory approval, is expected later this year the market will be completed.
It is worth mentioning that the consortium, appeared the figure of China's integrated circuit industry investment fund.
China is chip consumption power, and embarrassing fact is that the chip consumption in our country are heavily dependent on imports, domestic production of the chip can only meet the needs of the domestic IT industry 20%, this is against national security and development of electronic information industry.
In this background, our country began to launch "core" policy, encourage the development of domestic chip companies, and a big fund was established in 2014, for domestic chip companies solve the money problem. In march, a big fund released to the outside world investment report for the first time, "big fund", according to general manager Ding Wenwu since big fund was set up to the end of December 2015, has pledged to invest about 42.6 billion yuan, the actual investment about 26.2 billion yuan.
Later in September, Ding Wenwu added big fund now support smic, the Yangtze river storage and huahong hongli three companies development. Behind both the company's business is associated with memory chips, and 55% of the memory is in the context of China, memory chips become great fund concerns.
However, from the perspective to participate in the action of investment da in silicon valley, big fund seems to have interest in VR (virtual reality) chip. The silicon valley da chip applications, the production of high speed mixed signal is one of the VR devices.
Investment VR chip company, help to promote the domestic IC industry bigger and stronger? In my opinion, the answer is yes.
Recently, the ministry of China electronics technology standardization institute published the white paper virtual reality industry development in 2016, pointed out that VR on the eve of the outbreak of our country is in a market with enormous potential, but also faces is expensive, poor application, data processing speed can't keep up with the requirements of the problem, need state support.
