A report released by foreign media has attracted attention at home and abroad, and the foreign media said in the report that the US company has begun to make large-scale profits, which means that the purpose of the US sanctions against mainland enterprises has begun to show results.
So is that really the case? Under the sanctions of the US side, do our country's technology enterprises have no way back?
The reason why the foreign media made such a statement was due to the fact that Qualcomm issued a notice that this time Qualcomm officially announced that the price of its latest chip "Snapdragon 8 Gen 2" will be increased.
The chip's price has been increased and it currently costs $160 each. If 160 US dollars is converted into yuan, it is about 1134 yuan.
Coincidentally, Apple's previously launched A16 chip is also priced at as much as $110.
To know that the previous price of Apple's A15 is only tens of dollars, the new chip can be twice the price of the previous A15, which is indeed a signal that American companies have begun to raise prices and accumulate money.
Because American companies are not restricted in terms of policy, they are now almost out of competitors.
Especially Qualcomm, its wolf ambition has been known to everyone, the price of one of its processors is $50 higher than Apple, reaching thousands of yuan.
However, it is worth mentioning that Qualcomm and Apple launched these two latest series of chips, both using the 4nm process from TSMC.
So what impact will the rise in chip prices of these two companies have on the market?
According to foreign media, the willful operation of these two enterprises is because they do not have any worries, so the purpose of the US sanctions against mainland enterprises has been achieved this time.
After all, American companies not only monopolize the market, but also can raise prices at will. And our country's enterprises are still suffering from restrictions and cannot achieve greater breakthroughs.
However, compared to our country's enterprises, Samsung's situation seems to be more difficult.
The current situation faced by our country's enterprises can be said to be due to US sanctions, but Samsung has not been subject to any sanctions and restrictions.
Its strength in the semiconductor field has also led the world, and there is strong support from South Korean officials, why is its market share declining year after year?
According to Samsung's sales performance in the past, the company's mobile phone sales have always ranked first in the world.
And they can be completely self-sufficient in chips, because they have the manufacturing capacity of high-end chips, which is a strength that many companies can not hope for.
It can be said that Samsung at its peak is a major mobile phone brand that can compete with Apple.
However, in the processor market, the company's share has fallen from 8% to 4%.
The reason for this is that the company did not focus on high-end processors.
From the development trend of the company, it can be seen that the company has put most of its energy into low-end processors, which has led to its inability to gain a foothold in the high-end processor market.
And Qualcomm increased the price of the processor this time, Samsung is even more tearless, because Qualcomm's latest processor is not Samsung foundry, but uses TSMC's 4nm process.
This means that while Qualcomm is making money, Samsung simply can't get a piece of the pie. You must know that nowadays, if mobile phone manufacturers want to use high-end processors, they can only choose Qualcomm.
Because Apple chips are not shared in the market, this is also the reason why Apple sets the price a little full, if Apple really puts its own chips on the market for sale, its price must be higher than Qualcomm.
However, Samsung has also come up with a way to respond, and it was previously revealed that the company is ready to pick up the research and development of the Exynos 2400 chip, making such a decision, and Qualcomm has directly increased the price of the chip.
And our country's mobile phone manufacturers, this time will also face a cruel reality, because most mobile phone manufacturers rely on Qualcomm chips, after the price increases, the cost is bound to rise.
Whether to raise the selling price or reduce the profit margin, whichever of the two is chosen, does not seem to be the best approach.
However, our country's mobile phone manufacturers have also begun to find ways to invest in self-research, after OPPO first announced that it wanted to develop chips, and then suddenly stopped for unknown reasons.
But Xiaomi and Honor have also followed suit and joined the army of self-research, including Huawei is also doing its best to solve the layout of the chip industry chain.
Our country's enterprises have indeed suffered a lot of impact under the sanctions, but the more fierce the US sanctions, the more they can wake up the sleeping Chinese.
At this critical time, as long as our country's enterprises begin to invest in self-research, it means that we have taken a big step on the road to getting rid of restrictions.
Therefore, we do not need to take the complacent rhetoric of the foreign media to heart, because such a situation will not last long.
