Take over Huawei! The birth of the dark horse of domestic chips, successful hands with TSMC, the upcoming mass production of 6nm

In the past two years, Huawei’s self-researched Kirin chips have made new breakthroughs, especially the Kirin 9000 5nm chip, which was listed last year, and its comprehensive performance far exceeds that of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Apple’s A14 bionic chip, carrying the banner of high-end “Chinese core”. However, due to the U.S. crackdown, so Huawei’s own chip can not be manufactured, only exist on the drawing board, which also makes the country have to worry about the future of the “Chinese core”. Fortunately, the dark horse of domestic chips has been born, successfully taking over the “Chinese core” flag from Huawei.

Recently, according to daily reports, the old domestic chip giant Ziguang Zhanrui based on the 6nm process of 5G chip Huben T7521 to achieve a major breakthrough, soon to be mass production.

According to public information, Zeroplus’ self-researched Huben T7521 chip is not only the first 6nm chip in China, but also the world’s first 6nm 5G baseband chip to achieve full-scene coverage.

In addition, ZTE has deeply optimized the Huben T7521, which has greatly improved the performance in high-resolution and high-frame rate image recording. And using TSMC’s 6nm chip process, the chip performance has been greatly improved, and power consumption has been significantly reduced.

But it must be said that, although Ziguang Zhanrui hands TSMC, using a more advanced 6nm chip process manufacturing Huben T7521, but the comprehensive performance behind the Kirin 9000, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and other mainstream processors about three generations, the performance only reached the level of Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, can only be considered a high-end chip.

Even if the Huben T7521 is a mid-to-high-end chip, but after the optimization of cell phone manufacturers, can still fully meet the needs of mid-range high cell phone processor performance, after all, all the low-end phone on the market is generally not high comprehensive performance, the biggest is to play a little chicken or something.

According to data released by Omdia, a third-party marketing agency, Ziguang Zhanrui’s cell phone chip sales last year were as high as 23 million units, an increase of about 90% year-on-year, of which the first 5G chip listed in May 2020, Huben T7510 sales of up to 1 million sets. From this set of data, it is easy to see that the market is still very much recognized by the 5G chips produced by Ziguang Zhanrui.

According to industry sources, due to the growing global chip shortage, major cell phone manufacturers are facing chip shortages, and many cell phone manufacturers have already placed a large number of orders for the Huben T7521 chip from Zeroplus.

From the rapid momentum of development of the Ziguang Zhanrui, it has a great possibility to surpass Huawei Heisi, to carry the flag of China’s chip design, leading the “Chinese core” forward.

However, it must be said that ZTE is using TSMC’s 6nm chip process, which has certain potential risks. If Zeroplus reaches the same height as Hysis in terms of chip design, will it be sanctioned by the US? If this is really the case, ZTE is likely to follow in the footsteps of Huawei Heisi.

Therefore, it is imperative to make every effort to build an independent and controllable semiconductor industry chain, the only way, “China’s core” will not be stuck in the neck. Fortunately, with the continuous suppression of the United States, we have realized the seriousness of this problem, the country not only introduced new policies, and domestic semiconductor technology continues to make new breakthroughs, so, “China Core” will certainly rise strongly, as to when we can achieve “China Core “freedom, then let us wait and see.
