如同人类文明早期有着清晰的地域疆界,十年前相互竞争的半导体公司之间的壁垒分明,尤其是在同一垂直市场中,竞争者之间的合作需要发挥极大的想象力。但时间能够改变空间,就像鄂尔多斯城邦边缘的长城已经隐没在连绵不断的沙丘中一样,竞争者之间的壁垒也正消融在竞合的意愿之中—飞思卡尔半导体和博世集团汽车电子事业部之间不久前宣布的合作即为一例。 As early as human civilization had clear geographical boundaries, the barriers between competing semiconductor companies ten years ago were clear, especially in the same vertical market where the cooperation between competitors required great imagination. But time can change the space, just as the Great Wall on the fringe of Ordos has been hidden in the continuous sand dunes, barriers between competitors are also melting in the will to compete - Freescale Semiconductor and Bosch Automotive Electronics The cooperation announced recently by the Ministry is one example.
