With the serious lack of cores in the world, coupled with the limited use of advanced process technology, various technology companies have opened the road of self-developed chips, and at present, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have successively come out in 2021. Recently, it has been reported that Lenovo has established a chip company, and its business scope includes integrated circuit design.
According to the enterprise investigation, the name of Dingdao Zhixin (Shanghai) Semiconductor Co., Ltd. was established today (January 26) with a registered capital of 300 million yuan. In terms of shareholders, the company is 100% owned by Lenovo (Shanghai), and the executive director and legal representative is Jia Zhaohui. The business scope displayed on the industrial and commercial page includes integrated circuit design, integrated circuit sales, computer software and hardware and auxiliary equipment retail, etc.
In fact, lenovo's own chip was mined in November last year, that is, the LA2 intelligent embedded controller, and has been used in the Yoga Pro 14s Carbon notebook. In addition, Lenovo's three major investment companies (Lenovo Venture Capital, Lenovo Star, and Legend Capital) have invested in more than 20 chip companies in China, involving AI, mobile phones, autonomous driving, IoT, 5G and other fields.
Once the semiconductor company with a registered capital of 300 million yuan, which has a major shareholder for Lenovo, was announced, it seemed that everyone had high hopes. Because Lenovo's absolute right to speak in the global PC market, many people speculate that Lenovo may be able to develop fist products such as Apple's M1 series chips. Even if it is not as successful as M1, as long as it can be adapted to Lenovo's own mobile phones, PCs, tablets and other products, and then form a cross-screen transfer file, cross-screen interactive screen projection and other operations, it is also very meaningful.
Finally, it has to be mentioned that Lenovo already has hardware development and software development projects, coupled with related integrated circuit design and related integrated computer sales business, which means that Lenovo will also study software system level projects in the future, then its prospects in the field of science and technology will bring about changes in the situation.
