French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday has taken a step for his country to produce the world’s most modern chips, trying to position himself as the most important technology center in Europe.
The comments come when European technology companies and countries are re -evaluating their dependence on foreign technology firms for critical technology and infrastructure.
In particular Nvidia Jensen CEO Jensen Juan, who talked together with Macron and Mac CEO Arthur Less, said on Wednesday that the first company graphic processing department (GPU) was manufactured in France SGS Thomson Microelectronics, which is now known as STMicroelectronics.
However, Stmicroelectronics is currently not at the forefront of semiconductor production. Most chips he does for industries such as a car, which does not require the most advanced semiconductors.
Macron, however, outlined his ambitions so that France can produce semiconductors within 2 nanometers up to 10 nanometers.
“If we want to consolidate our industry, we must get more and more chips on the right scale,” Macron said on Wednesday.
The smaller the nanometer number, the more transistors that can fit into the chips, which will lead to a more powerful semiconductor. For example, the latest Apple iPhone chips is based on 3 nanometer technology.
Very few companies can produce chips at this level and on a large scale, and Samsung and Nvidia Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. provider and Nvidia Taiwan Samsung and Nvidia Taiwan Samsung and Nvidia Taiwan Samsung. (TSMC) is involved in the package.
If France wants to produce these advanced chips, it’s probably Now TSMC has made billions of dollars To create more factories.
Macron made a deal between Thales, Radial and Taiwan’s Foxconn, studying the creation of a semiconductor assembly and test facility in France.
“I want to convince them to make production in France,” Macron said during Vivatech – one of France’s largest technological activities – the same day that Huang Nvidia announced Recruited transactions on construction of more artificial infrastructure in Europe.
One of the key partnerships announced by Huang is between Nvidia and French AI Model Mistral model to build the so -called “AI cloud”.
In February, France hoped for the creation of AI infrastructure, and Macron said that in the coming years the II sector would receive 109 billion euros (125.6 billion). Macron advertised Nvidia and Mistral Deal as France’s expansion AI Buildout.
“We deepen them (investments) and we accelerate. And what Mistral AI and Nvidia announced this morning, this is also a change in games,” Macron CNBC said on Wednesday.
