Chapter 470: Chips
As strong as BMW or Mercedes, they are also working hard to study the chip field and strive to be self-sufficiency.
But what about these domestic car companies? They are still dreaming, and always feel that they can buy chips with money.
Little do they know that the current chip market has become part of the crazy mergers and acquisitions of overseas capital.
When these mergers and acquisitions came to an end, the carnival of domestic automakers officially ended.
Lu Zijian can see this.
Once overseas capital has ended the acquisition of the capital market, it will definitely raise the sickle in its hand.
To be honest, as long as there are chip-dependent companies in China, no one can escape this wave of harvest.
"Domestic chips are not good?" Mr. Qian originally attached great importance to high technology, but he was not very professional in making cars.
"No, Tesla's FSD single chip has reached 72 Tops and 144 Tops on the board, while the previous strongest autonomous driving chip NVIDIA AGXXavier autonomous driving 0 chip has only 21 Tops."
"The gap is so big?" As soon as Mr. Qian heard such a big gap, he frowned.
"It's so big, and most domestic automakers currently use AGXXavier autonomous driving chips."
"Is there any other family?"
"Yes, but apart from Tesla's own FSD, the chips given by other chip manufacturers are similar, and they do not have any advantage in price."
"What do you mean is that our domestic car companies are completely a lamb to be slaughtered in terms of chip selection?"
"It's even more troublesome than this, so to speak."
Lu Zijian took a deep breath and continued: "Once the capital is completed, the domestic chip reserves can be shortened at any time. I guess, as long as these car companies prepare stocks, they can only last for one or two months at most."
Mr. Qian frowned at this moment.
Never expected that the current situation of domestic car companies is like this?
The life gate is easily pinched in someone else's hands.
"And, compared with the Nvidia Drive PX2AI chip that Tesla has used before, FSD manufacturing costs have been reduced by 20% and energy consumption has been increased by 20%.
"Can our domestic high-tech technology do it?"
"At present, it's not possible." Lu Zijian gave an answer straightforwardly.
However, this answer is not what Qian Lao wanted.
"Not only that, the FSD chip has excellent performance, which is an indisputable fact, with excellent hardware in terms of storage and computing power."
"After the subsequent update of the software through OTA, the FSD computing platform can basically undertake fully autonomous driving computing tasks, which is impossible to achieve by the chips currently used by domestic car companies."
"Also, the fully autonomous hardware system makes the hardware and software more adaptable, and it is more at ease in software development, and comprehensively improves the performance of autonomous driving."
Lu Zijian's words hit Mr. Qian again and again.
The latter did not expect that a single inconspicuous chip could influence a market.
Thinking of this, I looked at these quarrels from car companies.
Mr. Qian was so angry that he had already reached this moment, and you were still complaining about others...
"Lu, if we increase the research and development of chips now, how much do we need to invest?"
Lu Zijian: MMP face.
——Damn, Mr. Qian, what do you think of me? A supercomputer?
You have the nerve to ask me about this question?
Maybe I think the question I asked was too weird.
Mr. Qian himself felt a little embarrassed.
Well, after you go back, you must have a good talk with the senior management.
This is an imminent matter. You can't really wait until something happens before you get angry.
Be sure to be prepared for any trouble.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qian nodded to Lu Zijian.
