Rapidus是日本為重振國內半導體製造業而成立的國家隊,目標是生產2奈米晶片。台積電目前在全球第三方晶片代工市場佔據約73%的份額。
日本晶片國家隊Rapidus承諾生產更便宜的2奈米晶片,但它仍需證明自己能夠製造這些晶片才行。外媒The Motley Fool報導,對於設計複雜晶片的客戶而言,擁有一家久經考驗、值得信賴的製造商,比獲得最低的製造價格更重要,而台積電在這方面擁有卓越的業績記錄。
Rapidus提供的2奈米晶圓價格約為2萬1000美元,而台積電的晶圓價格據報導為3萬美元,但據報導,這或許是一筆相當大的折扣,Rapidus在實現重要的技術里程碑方面舉步維艱。但Rapidus真的能兌現承諾,撼動台積電壓倒性的市佔率嗎?
Rapidus已在日本北海道的工廠開始試生產,據報導已與60多家潛在客戶進行了洽談。日本也已為該項目投入數十億美元,希望藉此重振國內半導體製造業。然而,製造先進晶片極其困難,Rapidus已經遇到了一些問題。
彭博報導稱,Rapidus尚未成功生產出功能齊全的靜態隨機存取記憶體單元,這是其實現2奈米製程全面成熟過程中必須達成的重要里程碑。日本時事通訊社也通報稱,目前正在討論將生產週期延後約一年。Rapidus公司則表示,其時間表不變。
但即便該公司能夠按時完成任務,也需要證明其能夠以合適的利潤率可靠地交付晶片。如果大量晶片有缺陷,或者公司根本無法獲利,那麼降低價格也無濟於事。
同時,台積電已開始生產2奈米晶片,目前佔據全球第三方晶片代工市場約73%的佔額。該公司第三季營收高達467億美元,年增41.2%,毛利率達66.4%。
台積電表示,其晶圓收入的8%來自2奈米製程,高於第二季的3%。這一點意義重大,因為它表明台積電已開始從Rapidus尚未實現商業化的製造流程中獲得收入。台積電將繼續鞏固這一領先優勢,而Rapidus則需要努力追趕。
台積電目前已有8%的晶圓收入來自其2奈米製程,高於上一季的3%,而Rapidus尚未開始商業化生產2奈米晶片。
台積電與各大科技公司的合作關係為其帶來了另一項優勢。設計昂貴、精密晶片的客戶需要的是可靠的製造合作夥伴,而不僅僅是最低的價格。台積電預計,到2025年,將生產超過12600種不同的產品,採用305種不同的製程。
報導指出,Rapidus不會在短期內對台積電在尖端晶片製造領域的領導地位構成威脅。考慮到成熟的晶圓代工業務利潤豐厚,其他公司想要挑戰台積電並搶佔其龐大的市場份額並不奇怪。但正如英特爾也正在經歷的那樣,創辦一家晶圓代工企業既困難又昂貴。台積電將持續保持強勁的發展動能。

Huida CEO Jen-Hsun Huang resigned due to the scandal over his extramarital affair and spy lover, and was temporarily replaced by Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress. Huida lacks a succession plan and a chairman position, and its governance structure has caused high market concerns about the stability of the artificial intelligence industry chain.

Although a 67-year-old Japanese man had a savings of 20 million yen and had paid off his mortgage when he retired, he faced a huge repair cost of 8.5 million yen due to a sudden leak in his house that was more than 30 years old. This caused financial anxiety in his retirement life and highlighted the importance of house maintenance costs in retirement planning.

From January to October 2026, the country's railways carried a total of 4.13 billion passengers, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%, and many indicators reached record highs. There are 3,236 tourist trains in operation. The Yangtze River Delta and Sichuan-Qinghai Railway have rich tourism products, and both cross-border passenger flow and the volume of foreign passengers have achieved significant growth.

Entering November, Shenzhen has built an efficient three-dimensional logistics network through Yantian Port, Bao'an Airport and the city's smart logistics system. As foreign trade orders surge, the network uses automated and unmanned technology to achieve rapid distribution of goods from factories to the world, ensuring economic and trade exchanges in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

After Huang Renxun, CEO of Huida, resigned, analysts from Citrini Research, an investment research institution, pointed out that Huida faces the risk of brain drain. OpenAI and other competitors are actively poaching Huida's senior engineers who have achieved financial freedom, and there may even be a collective team change.

Liu Zheyun, founder of Tianyu Technology, pointed out in a speech at National Chengchi University that companies should use gamification mechanisms such as tasks, collaboration and random events to help young people find suitable positions in the workplace. Through the "World Tree" system, the work process is transformed into an autonomous gaming experience, improving employee participation and talent retention.
