Chapter 499 Huawei's Counterattack
Therefore, for Wang Fan whose money can't solve the problem, Apple can only put away its old man's temper, serve and negotiate respectfully.

Instead of being so aggressive like other suppliers.

You must know that Apple is not generally strong against upstream and downstream industrial chain suppliers.

If you say eliminate, you will eliminate, if you say give up, you will give up.

Some upstream and downstream enterprises are in a downturn, but as long as Apple supports them, it is possible to develop into an industry hegemon in a short period of time.

There are also some upstream and downstream companies that are very strong, but as long as Apple retreats, no matter how powerful the company is, it may be over in an instant!
Therefore, Apple is not generally strong for upstream and downstream enterprises.

It's just that when it comes to Mortal Technology, Apple's strength has become a flattery!

There is no way, relying on the core technology monopolized by mortal technology, even without Apple, it will not delay their making money.

More importantly, Apple is not only impossible to give up on Mortal Technology's core black technology, as well as cutting-edge product services, it is even more desirable!
So, Cook looked at the young director who supported Mortal Technology, and said, "Well, Mike, you can take a few directors with you, and you must show enough face!"

Mike felt a little displeased, but still responded: "Okay."

A board meeting ended like this, and Apple determined the entire direction decisively.

For Mortal Semiconductor and TSMC, Apple is fully dependent on TSMC, but Mortal Technology must also take care of it.

In this way, in Cook's view, Apple and Mortal Technology will not be too deadlocked, which will facilitate cooperation in other areas in the future.

In other words, it is convenient for Apple to request the required services or products from Mortal Technology.

As for mortal technology, it seems that there is no one who values ​​a certain technology of Apple, or needs a certain product of Apple.

It can be said that for Extraordinary Technology, Apple is 100% unilateral demand!
In this regard, Cook shook his head helplessly. As a veteran giant, there will be such a day, and there will be a day when he will be pinched by a new company!
…………

Apple made the final decision vigorously. In Cook's view, choosing TSMC and taking care of the face of mortal technology seems to be the best choice and the most correct choice.

But for this completely correct choice, Cook always has an inexplicable worry in his heart, which lingers for a long time.

It felt like something bad was about to happen.

This made Cook very upset, and even thought, could it be that his choice was wrong?

But Cook thought a little bit, and still couldn't help shaking his head, choosing TSMC, for Apple, yes!
At the same time, Huawei's Kirin 950 design and development team has arrived at Mortal Epistar, and started contact and handover with relevant personnel of Mortal Semiconductor.

They brought the design of the next-generation chip, the HiSilicon Kirin 950, to Mortal Semiconductor, ready to start mass production.

Wang Fan knows Kirin 950 very well.

Although it still adopts ARM's public version architecture, there is no way in this regard. Huawei is not comparable to Samsung and Qualcomm, and it cannot develop and design its own architecture on the public version architecture, so it can only copy the public version.

However, the GPU has been greatly improved, from the ancestral Mali-T628, across the next-generation Mali-T760, and directly on the latest Mali-T880.

虽然依旧是Mali-T880mp4四核GPU，比起三星猎户座8890的Mali-T880MP12的12核GPU差了三倍，但比起之前的华为处理器，已经进步很大。

In addition to the 14nm of mortals and half, it can be said that the Kirin 950 can be regarded as Huawei's first model that can get on the table, and can barely stand at the same level as Samsung and Qualcomm.

You know, the Kirin 950 can at least drive a 2K resolution screen, unlike the previous Kirin 935, Kirin 930, and Kirin 920, which can't even drive a 2K screen.

And Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801, Snapdragon 805, Snapdragon 808, and Snapdragon 810 can all drive 2K screens!

It can be said that the Kirin 950 can be regarded as the same generation as the processors of Qualcomm and Samsung.

Compared with the processors of Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple in the same period, the previous Kirin 935 is two generations behind.

Therefore, for Kirin 950, Ren Zhengfei is not generally valued, this is the real rise of Huawei chips.

Therefore, he went all out to mortal technology and supported mortal semiconductors.

Under Wang Fan's promise, the Kirin 950 will soon begin tape-out trial production at the Mortal Fab.

After the tape-out trial production was successfully completed, large-scale mass production began, and other improved mortal fabs were also at full capacity, going all out to mass-produce the Kirin 950.

For this reason, in just 3 days, Ren Zhengfei flew to Binhai City again to personally check the current production capacity and the quality of the chips produced.Ren Zhengfei instantly beamed with joy.

At present, the production capacity of mortal semiconductors is much larger than that reserved by TSMC for Huawei, and there is no problem at all in completing orders for Kirin 950 chips.

More importantly, Mortal Semiconductor's 14nm technology is very mature, much stronger than Samsung and TSMC.

It can be said that Mortal Semiconductor's 14nm technology represents the most advanced technology at the moment.

And the Huawei chips that use Mortal Semiconductor's 14nm technology will naturally rise as a result!
The performance has been greatly improved, and the power consumption has been reduced...

For Ren Zhengfei, this is an absolute surprise, and Huawei chips can also really feel proud once!
…………

At the same time, all kinds of news in the media are still turbulent.

However, with the passage of time, the focus of people from all walks of life has changed.

From being scattered before, become concentrated.

Focusing on Mortal Semiconductor and TSMC holding a strategic cooperation meeting on the same day, forcing other chip giants to choose sides, how will chip giants such as Apple and Huawei choose?

Concentrate on, mortal semiconductors, what are they holding to compete with TSMC?
Focusing on the purpose of holding a strategic cooperation meeting on the same day between Mortal Semiconductor and TSMC, is it to have a well-thought-out plan or to touch porcelain?

……

But generally speaking, the majority of netizens are still optimistic about TSMC, thinking that Apple and Huawei will choose TSMC.

After all, as a veteran overlord, TSMC has a strong background and profound strength, so it is completely more trustworthy and reliable!
As a result, the wind direction of public opinion began to favor TSMC, and TSMC's stock price also showed a firm or even upward trend.
