Miner's Chips Get Things Started TSMC's Nanjing Plant Shipped to China in May

On May 2nd, at the "City of Chips" Symposium in the "Two Cities" Center in Jiangbei New District, Nanjing, General Manager of TSMC's Nanjing Plant Luo Zhenqiu revealed that the 12-inch wafer fab exceeds expectations, starting in May. Mass production supply, including the first batch of customers for the Bit Continental. TSMC Nanjing Plant General Manager Luo Zhenqiu Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a 12-inch wafer fab, started construction on July 7, 2017, mass-produced on 16nm wafers, and plans to produce 20,000 12-inch wafers per month. The factory began trial production in 2017 to increase yields. The original plan was to start mass production in the second half of this year, but since the yield exceeded expectations, it will begin mass production in May. Bitland, with its mining machine chips and mining machine products, has already enjoyed more than half of the global mining market in just four years and has been promoted to be China's second-largest IC design company. Behind such brilliant achievements is the massive supply of chips, and TSMC is not only the main chip foundry of Bitland. According to information from TSMC, Bitland has contributed huge revenue to TSMC in the past year, and its orders are even comparable to NVIDIA. Obviously, Bitcoin Continent is already an important customer of TSMC, and it is reasonable for Nanjing 12-inch wafer fab to deliver the first batch of supply to Bitland. After the ZTE incident, the "China Core" became the industry that the country focused on promoting and supporting. When the President Xi Jinping visited Hubei, he emphasized that it must speed up major breakthroughs in chip technology. Although bitcoin has been controversial in China, bitcoin mining has become the most dynamic and promising branch of China's chip industry, and it should also be encouraged and supported. On April 24th, Jiang Yang, vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said during his visit to Kennan that "Whatever your chip is used for, it is essentially a chip company that wants you to be listed in the country." It can be seen that taking advantage of this opportunity, no matter whether it is a miner company such as Bitland or Jianan Minzhi, or a chip foundry company like TSMC, it will usher in a golden period of development.
