金融体系也被纳入半导体产业复兴框架。除三大银行集团外,多家地方银行参与对半导体项目的出资与 融资安排,被视为"产业政策与金融政策联动"的新模式。日本政府希望通过公共资金"撬动"民间资本, 形成长期、稳定的投资结构。 据多家日本主流媒体报道,作为日本政府"半导体复兴"战略核心载体的Rapidus公司,近期迎来包括京 瓷、佳能、富士胶片控股、本田以及多家地方银行在内的新增股东,股东总数将增至约30家。公司由此 基本完成2025财年约1300亿日元规模的民间出资目标,为其在北海道千岁市推进2纳米最先进制程半导 体量产奠定资金基础。 Rapidus公司成立于2022年,由丰田汽车、NTT、索尼集团、软银、NEC、电装、铠侠等日本龙头企业 共同发起,目标是在先进制程领域重建日本本土制造能力。日本经济产业省明确将其定位为国家级载 体,并通过补贴、资本金注入及制度支持等方式持续加码。官方数据显示,截至目前,政府对Rapidus 的支援金额累计已接近3万亿日元。 除Rapidus外,日本正从多个层面重构半导体生态体系。在制造端,台积电在熊本建设的晶圆厂已投 产,日本政府通过大规模补贴吸引海外先进厂商落地;在设备和材料领域,东 ...

Core Viewpoint - Intel has experienced significant challenges over the past five years, losing 12% of its CPU market share to AMD and falling behind in advanced manufacturing processes compared to TSMC. However, the release of its Q3 financial report in October 2025 marked a potential turning point, with a revenue of $13.65 billion, a gross margin of 40%, and an adjusted EPS of $0.23, signaling a recovery from a year and a half of declining year-on-year performance [2]. Group 1: Historical Context and Challenges - In the late 1990s, Intel dominated the CPU market with an 82% share, investing heavily in R&D and manufacturing, which established its leadership in the PC era [3]. - The rise of mobile internet in the 2010s led to critical misjudgments by Intel's management, particularly in neglecting mobile chip development, which resulted in a loss of market relevance [4]. - By 2018, Intel faced a crisis as AMD regained market share and Intel struggled with its 10nm manufacturing process, leading to a significant decline in its market position [4]. Group 2: Leadership and Restructuring - In March 2025, new CEO Pat Gelsinger initiated a major restructuring, addressing the company's "big company disease" by reducing the workforce from 110,000 to 88,400, with plans to further cut to 75,000 by year-end [6]. - Gelsinger emphasized that layoffs were not merely cost-cutting measures but aimed at creating space for true innovators within the company [6]. - The company implemented a "transformation plan" to support laid-off employees, including severance packages and skills training, reflecting a commitment to its workforce [6]. Group 3: Financial Recovery and Investments - Intel's financial recovery is supported by significant cash reserves of $30.9 billion, bolstered by $15.9 billion in investments from the U.S. government, NVIDIA, and SoftBank [8][10]. - The U.S. government became Intel's largest shareholder with an investment of $8.9 billion, aimed at preserving the U.S. semiconductor industry [9]. - Intel's strategic asset optimization included selling Altera for $4.3 billion and reducing its stake in Mobileye for $900 million, with savings redirected to core technology development [7]. Group 4: Production Challenges and Strategic Focus - Intel is currently facing production capacity constraints, with a 60% increase in demand for AI server CPUs and a 41% rise in AIPC orders, leading some customers to turn to AMD due to insufficient capacity [12]. - The company is prioritizing the production of its 18A process technology at the Fab52 facility, which is expected to significantly enhance its competitive position once operational [12]. - Intel's strategy includes focusing on high-value customers and improving margins in its data center business, which saw a gross margin increase of 18 percentage points year-on-year [12]. Group 5: Cultural and Technological Revival - Intel is fostering a culture of innovation by allowing engineers to explore projects outside their primary responsibilities, which has historically led to significant technological advancements [14]. - The company is also investing in social responsibility initiatives, such as scholarships for underrepresented groups in semiconductor education, reflecting a commitment to broader societal values [14]. - Gelsinger's leadership philosophy emphasizes balancing technical excellence with a human-centered approach, aiming to restore Intel's reputation and market position [16].
