Intel rebelled against the United States？ Cooperate with Shenzhen to build a new chip innovation center. Netizen： Forced by Loongson.

　　The restrictions on the export of chips from the United States to China are escalating, and Intel is beginning to lose its temper.

　　According to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, Intel will cooperate with Shenzhen to establish a new chip innovation center to deepen the relationship.

　　Before the establishment of the Science and Technology Innovation Center, Intel also introduced a processor that meets the export requirements of the United States and is designed to train artificial intelligence systems, specifically for sale in China.

　　Although the United States is putting more and more pressure on chip giants like Intel to reduce their transactions with China, judging from Intel's actual actions, it has not only failed to obey, but even acted in the opposite direction.

　　Moreover, not only Intel, but also many chip giants including NVIDIA, AMD and Qualcomm have made similar choices.

　　How to deal with the increasingly stringent export restrictions in the United States and find ways to sell their products to China has become a top priority for these chip giants.

　　Then the question is, why do American chip giants like Intel insist on cooperating with China even though they deviate from the chip export control adopted by the United States?

　　Is it really necessary to rebel against the United States and "pack up and run away"?

　　The answer is obviously not, all this is inextricably linked with the rapid development of China's chip industry.

　　Intel is "in a hurry"

　　In 2022, Intel produced a terrible performance, which hit a new low in nearly 20 years.

　　Specifically, last year, Intel's annual revenue was $63.1 billion, down 20% year-on-year, and its net profit was $8.014 billion, down 60% year-on-year.

　　For this financial report, the evaluation given by Wall Street analysts is "catastrophic".

　　That's not all. In the first quarter of this year, Intel's loss was as high as $2.7 billion, setting a record for the loss of American chip companies.

　　It can be said that the life of Intel is getting sadder every day.

　　Since our own business is bleak, let's take a look at it and see how the peers next door are doing.

　　But at this point, Intel can't sit still.

　　On the one hand, Qualcomm specifically gave the White House a green light, customized 4G chips for China enterprises, and was busy grabbing the market with MediaTek;

　　On the other hand, Nvidia launched the castrated version of the A800 AI chip in China in order to avoid the restrictions on American chip exports to China, which stabilized its own performance.

　　Boy, everyone agreed to break the confession together, and as a result, you all secretly "opened a small stove", leaving me an "honest man" to pay for it?

　　That how line, China market can't lose, I also want to mix a foot.

　　As a result, Intel was really anxious when its performance kept declining. At the beginning of this year, it also customized the 13th generation Core i7 and i5 chips for the China market, increasing the cache and lowering the price.

　　It can be seen that in order to sell the chips to China, Intel really put a lot of effort into it.

　　Development of Chip Industry in China

　　On the other hand, the reason why Intel rushed to sell its chips to China is not only because it values China's huge market, but also because China's chip industry is developing at a considerable speed.

　　On August 1st, Loongson Zhongke, a domestic CPU manufacturer, announced that the new generation of quad-core processor Loongson 3A6000 was successful, and the overall performance of the chip was equivalent to that of Intel's core quad-core processor in 2020.

　　Seeing this, some people may think that it is nothing to brag about investing so many resources and just reaching the level of others three years ago.

　　However, we should know that it has been more than 50 years since Intel came to this day. Even if we make great efforts to invest, it is difficult to smooth out the huge gap in just a few years.

　　At present, the biggest problem faced by domestic chips is to break through "from scratch" and "never available to available", and then move from "available" to "easy to use".

　　Now Godson has made a breakthrough in research and development, and its performance can meet many daily needs, solving the problem of "availability".

　　The development of China's chip industry is certainly not good news for a chip giant like Intel:

　　There is only one piece of cake. If you eat more, I will eat less. After the rise of China chips, it is these American chip giants that have seized the market.

　　Therefore, despite the increasingly strict control over the export of chips from the United States to China, these chip giants, Intel, will never withdraw from the China market, and they must make arrangements in advance. There is a deeper consideration to seize the market.

　　In the final analysis, it is still the thinking of "winner takes all" in American enterprises.

　　Chip giants collectively "rebel against the United States"?

　　In fact, not only Intel, but also American chip giants including NVIDIA and Qualcomm are trying to sell their chips to China.

　　For example, in the middle of last month, the CEOs of NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Intel, the three major chip giants in the United States, joined hands to go to Washington to hold talks with US officials and lobby the White House to abandon the restrictions on chip exports to China.

　　For example, Huang Renxun, the founder of Nvidia, once publicly shouted:

　　"There is only one China in the world. Once we lose the China market, we have no emergency measures."

　　It is not difficult to find that a "chip businessman" like Huang Renxun is not United with those American politicians.

　　The so-called "ass decides the head", the biggest appeal of chip companies like Intel and Nvidia is how to occupy the global market, sell chips to all those who need them, and put real money in their pockets.

　　In business, making money is the first priority, and everything else must be arranged later.

　　What about these politicians in the United States?

　　How to curb the development of China's semiconductor industry, maintain the leading position of the United States in the world, and keep the votes and win the general election are the most important things in their minds.

　　Therefore, it is not "anti-American" for a chip giant like Intel to insist on exploring the China market.

　　In essence, both sides are considering their own interests, considering how to achieve their goals, even by hook or by crook.

　　The "chip war" between China and the United States is getting worse and worse. Although chip giants like Intel try their best to be nice and try their best to sell their chips to China, it is of little practical significance.

　　Only when we insist on independent research and development and master the core technology can we really solve the problem of "stuck neck". There is no shortcut to the development of chip industry.
