Conclusion

Judging from the frequency of new product releases, Coherent Gaoyi can be regarded as the top prize in the entire 2023, and Yi Feiyang is probably the "domestic replacement version of Coherent Gaoyi", if it is only compared with the frequency of new product releases.

In addition to the frequency of releases to see whether a company attaches importance to research and development, the specific products and timing of the release can also show the strength of one or two. For example, some companies release new products that are "world premieres", while others only represent the company's new products, which may not make a big splash in the market.

But then again, something is better than nothing, and the rest are newer, faster, smaller, more energy-efficient, and better price-performance ratios. Whoever reaches the goal faster will have the right to speak sooner. Market competition has always been cruel, compared to a keen eye and long-term accumulated strength.

In the new year, we should treat the research and development of new products like a thriving plant, overcome technical difficulties, and seize market opportunities.
