epilogue
In general, the companies that have entered the semiconductor field are all from different industries and have their own merits, and the "common path" of all enterprises may bring the development of the semiconductor industry to a higher level. In addition, the cross-border of enterprises in other fields will also make the market more competitive. The semiconductor market has added a number of members, and whether the new members can become the backbone of the semiconductor market remains to be verified by time.
