This is real weak. Plus it has a hodgepodge of different architectures for whatever reason. 8051 is an Intel 8-bit MCU chip architecture.
It used to be used in low end automotive.
Maybe the card is supposed to be used for software development for people working in automotive and embedded. It is the only reason I can think of for making such a weird chip.
Natus received a new round of financing to provide precision instruments for customers in the semiconductor and other fields
Recently, Suchuang Digital Emerging Industry Fund and Suzhou Talent Phase III Fund under Suzhou Venture Capital and Guofa Venture Capital officially invested in Natus (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Natus").
This round of financing for Natus was led by Jiangsu Venture Capital and Guofa Venture Capital, followed by Jianrui Technology and Gaotie Xincheng, and old shareholder Yuanyi Venture Capital continued to increase its investment. The completion of the new round of financing will further promote the company to continue to increase its R&D and production investment and market layout.
Founded in 2021, Natus is a company that focuses on the research, development, production and sales of precision motion positioning platforms, precision mechanical sensors and nanoscience instruments. The company is committed to providing downstream customers in the fields of optics, new materials, biomedicine, semiconductors and precision machining with precision instruments including large-stroke nano-level precision positioning stages, piezoelectric scanning stages, precision force sensors, nanoindenters, nanomanipulators and atomic force microscopes.
SiVision Technology Completes A+ Round of Financing, Products Cover Silicon Carbide Measurement Demands
On August 16, according to Qichacha information, Sishi Technology completed its A+ round of financing, and the investor was Qishi Capital.
Founded in June 2021, Sishi Technology focuses on the research, development, production and service of electron beam quantity detection equipment for semiconductor wafers. It is committed to the research and development and production of electron beam imaging quantity detection equipment with completely independent intellectual property rights and internationally advanced levels, providing solutions for high-end semiconductor processes.
According to incomplete statistics, since its establishment, Sishi Technology has completed seven rounds of financing, including the A+ round of financing in April 2024. The investor is Nanjing Jucheng Qiushi No. 2 Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership).
At present, SiVision Technology has two main products, namely CDSEM critical dimension measurement equipment and EBI electron beam defect detection equipment. Among them, CDSEM critical dimension measurement equipment uses high-resolution low-voltage scanning electron microscope technology to obtain nano-level imaging of graphic wafers, and realizes the measurement and monitoring of critical dimensions CD (Critical Dimension) of lithography and etching process sites in the I0 manufacturing process to ensure yield. It can cover mature processes above 28 nanometers and meet the measurement needs of 6/8/12-inch silicon-based, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, sapphire and other substrates.
EBI electron beam defect detection equipment uses a large beam current, high brightness electron gun and phase difference correction control technology, with a large field of view, high-speed imaging and advanced and diverse charge control methods. It can be used for defect detection of advanced process graphic wafers, especially for the morphology and material defects at the bottom of high aspect ratio structures, and the detection of electrical defects related to connectivity below the surface layer.

North China Huachuang: Net profit in the first half of the year was 2.781 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 54.54%
North Huachuang released its 2024 semi-annual report, with operating income of 12.335 billion yuan in the reporting period, a year-on-year increase of 46.38%; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 2.781 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 54.54%.
NAURA said that in the first half of 2024, NAURA continued to maintain its leading position in China in the two main business sectors of high-end electronic process equipment and precision electronic components. As a platform-type semiconductor equipment company, the company continues to delve into customer needs, continuously expand the boundaries of innovation, enrich the product matrix, and further broaden the scope of process coverage. In the field of core equipment for integrated circuits, the company has successfully developed a number of high-end equipment with independent intellectual property rights, such as high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD), dual Damascus CCP etcher, vertical furnace atomic layer deposition (ALD), high dielectric constant atomic layer deposition (ALD), etc., and has achieved stable mass production in many clients, which has won unanimous praise from customers.
At the same time, the company's core products are also widely used in compound semiconductors, new energy photovoltaics, new display and other fields, showing good market prospects and development potential. Relying on the national enterprise technology center, North Huachuang continues to make new breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation. As of the first half of 2024, the company has applied for more than 8,300 patents and obtained more than 4,900 authorized patents, and many core technologies have been recognized by the industry. With its outstanding performance in technological innovation and product innovation, the company has been ranked among the top 100 competitive electronic information companies in China for several consecutive years, and its core competitiveness has been significantly improved.
The whole premise of the video is ridiculous. Chinese chip companies are competing with new build chip fabs against foreign incumbents using depreciated fab equipment. It is a severely lopsided competition. Without government funding China would remain forever dependent on foreign chip supplies. The Chinese consumer electronics industry would be wholly dependent on the whims of the West. Imagine the same thing which happened with the Huawei sanctions happening all over the consumer electronics and automotive sectors.
The idea that the West also needs massive investments into legacy chips is ludicrous on the face of it, because the West already has all the legacy infrastructure fully built and depreciated.
Huawei was the best thing to happen to domestic CIS sensors, that reputational upgrade has been translating more smartphone companies using domestic products.
