Apple continues to innovate, and a new generation of processors has entered a new stage: According to the latest news from Bloomberg, Apple is secretly developing an unprecedented processor, which is scheduled to debut in the new Mac computer in the second half of 2021. There are rumors that new iMac and MacBook Pro models will launch in 2021, of course with more powerful Apple's own chips, including high-end and entry-level models.

Entering 2022, Apple plans to fully migrate the Mac toThe AppleSilicon idea is in the final stages, and the new products to achieve this goal are expected to include the MacBookPro, MacPro, and iMac.

Xiaomi's most hardcore news in 2021: self-developed 5G processor exposed, dormant for years to build the strongest surging

Specifically, the Mi 5C is equipped with Xiaomi's self-developed Surging S1 eight-core high-performance processor, which has high energy efficiencyOcta-core ARMCortex-A53 processor: The large core is the 2GHz quad-core ARMCortex-A53 architecture, the small core is the 4GHz quad-core ARMCortex-A53 architecture and so on. Since

, Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO have released self-developed chip works. In March, Xiaomi released ISP (image signal processing) chip ThepaperC1; In September, vivo released the image chip vivo V1; In December, OPPO brought the NPU (embedded neural network processor) chip MariSilicon X.

Whether the 7.7 billion purchased lithography machine can alleviate Huawei's chip emergency?

1. Smic can purchase almost all types of lithography machines except EUV lithography machines, including DUV (Deep ultraviolet) lithography machines. EUV lithography machines are mainly used for chip manufacturing of 7nm and below processes. It is reported that the only companies in the world that can manufacture EUV lithography equipmentThe ASML family.

2, after all, seven nanometers can be removed from the EUV lithography machine and can be produced by multiple exposures, and TSMC has already done a precedent. Some time ago, SMIC signed an order worth 7.7 billion yuan with the Dutch company ASML, including the DUV lithography machine, which can make 7 nanometer chips after multiple exposures.

3, we all know that Mediatek is actually the same as Huawei, it is just a chip design company, and there is no related manufacturing technology, this time Mediatek spent a lot of money to buy lithography machine and other equipment, is to improve
