Chapter 339: Exposing Apple’s past and launching trial production of self-developed chips

In the past, other mobile phone brands were studying iPhone, learning from iPhone, and catching up with iPhone.
But now, including iPhone, all mobile phone manufacturers are studying Xingyi mobile phones, learning from Xingyi mobile phones, and catching up with Xingyi mobile phones!
Even the revamped iPhone 5 will have many shadows of the xphone 1 and xphone 1pro.
There is no way, the current Xingyi mobile phone represents the highest design in the mobile phone industry.
This is not only true for mobile phones, but also for tablets. Xingyi Tablet is the benchmark.
The third generation of iPad was designed long ago and could not be modified, so it was launched as is.
But the new Samsung tablet and the next-generation iPad will all learn from the Xingyi tablet and carry out drastic upgrades and reforms.
It can be said that Xingyi Technology has been at the forefront of the industry.
But what the friends didn’t know was that while they were learning about Xphone 1 and Xphone 1pro, Xingyi Technology was already developing a new Xingyi second generation!
Wang Yi has started planning for next year’s Xingyi Tablet 2.
March 12, Apple headquarters.
Jesse walked into Cook's office happily with a new data report.
"Come on, Jesse, look at your expression, you have good news for me!"
Cook was in a good mood and looked more and more pleased with Jesse in front of him.
It was Jesse's idea to make a fuss about GPU performance and reduce dimensionality to attack Xingyi Tablet.
Jesse smiled slightly: "Chairman, our strategy is very successful. According to the information we have, the daily sales of Xingyi Tablet X1pro three days ago were as high as 200,000 units per day. But as soon as the GPU incident happened, the daily sales of Xingyi Tablet X1pro are now
Sales have dropped to 100,000 per day, and within three days, there won’t even be 100,000 left!”
"And the number of full-price reservations for our new iPad is constantly increasing. In three days, the number of full-price reservations has exceeded 2 million!"
"It seems that the four times difference in GPU has hit Xingyi Tablet X1pro hard. Very good, very good!" Cook was in a good mood.
On one hand, the sales of Xingyi Tablet X1pro have been halved, on the other hand, the sales of new iPads have surged!
Cook was very happy: "The full price of the iPad 3rd generation is 2 million in three days. It is expected to break the record of 4 million in the first time of Xingyi Tablet X1pro and regain the glory that belongs to our Apple! Before Xingyi Tablet X1pro, the global tablet
The sales record has always been held by our iPad!”
Jesse nodded: "This is not a big problem. As the GPU incident ferments, the sales of Xingyi Tablet X1pro will only continue to decrease, while the sales of the third generation iPad will continue to increase. After all, not many users will choose a GPU whose energy efficiency is four times worse.
The product!"
"That's right, you did a great job on this, I'll give you a big credit!"
Cook was in a good mood, and he really liked Jesse more and more.
Xingyi Tablet X1pro is so awesome and invincible. The new iPad is no match for it, and Apple is helpless.
As a result, Jesse came up with such a weird idea, secretly changed the concept, and used the ASUS tablet with the same processor to discredit the Xingyi tablet!
What a stroke of genius!
Cook was in a good mood and couldn't help but ask: "Jesse, you did a good job this time. We won a big victory. But when the iPad is launched next week, Xingyi Technology will definitely re-evaluate it and find out whether the new results are good or not."
What should I do if it reaches four times? What should I do if it doesn’t even double?”
This is a key question.
How the four-fold gap comes about, no one knows better than Cook and Jesse.
Jesse didn't care at all: "Chairman, is this important?"
Cook frowned slightly: "Isn't it important?"
Jesse waved his hand: "It's not important, not important at all!"
"The GPU performance of the third-generation iPad is better than that of Xingyi Tablet X1pro. Even if the final test result of Xingyi Technology is not four times, not even double, it is still much better than Xingyi Tablet X1pro."
"And by the time Xingyi Technology finished testing and was cleared, the third generation of iPads had already been selling like hotcakes, while the Xingyi tablet X1pro had suffered heavy losses due to the GPU war."
"What you said makes sense." Cook nodded, but still felt unsafe.
Jesse continued to laugh and said: "What's more, if you start a rumor, you will lose your legs if you refute it. It's easy for us to smear the Xingyi Tablet X1pro GPU and the five scum. But if Xingyi Technology wants to clean up, it will be difficult."
"Even if Xingyi Technology is cleared by then, we can still accuse the other party of lax testing, cheating in the testing process, and inaccurate results... all of which are operable, and the rest is just nonsense. Anyway, the third generation of our iPads are already selling like hotcakes.
, and money was made.”
"So that's it." Cook was in a good mood: "In this way, it's safe. The world's number one tablet is still the iPad, and it can only be the third generation of iPad!"
"That's for sure, hahaha."
The two looked at each other and were in a good mood.
However, just when Apple was dreaming of a better future, Nvidia's counterattack had already arrived, without waiting for the third generation iPad to be launched a week later.
On the contrary, it was only three days!
A blogger in the field of digital technology uploaded a video on you to be.
Title "Actual test of new iPad prototype, CPU performance is amazing, GPU performance is great!"
As soon as this video came out, it quickly became a hot search topic.
As for whether it was done by Nvidia or Asus, I don't know.
After all, Apple's saucy operation, taking advantage of the Asus tablet, made the already mediocre sales of the Asus tablet become even more disastrous. Asus was naturally holding its breath!
After learning about this, Wang Yi also curiously opened the video, and a foreigner appeared on the screen:
"Hi! Hello everyone, I am your friend Tonys. I love digital technology as much as you do."
"As we all know, after the new iPad was released, they bluntly said that the GPU performance of their A5X is four times that of Tegra 3, which is simply incredible."
"But Tonys expressed some doubts about this. After all, products of the same generation should not have such a big gap. Moreover, Nvidia is a giant in graphics cards, so it will not be so arrogant on GPUs."
"Coupled with the fact that Apple has not released specific test data and testing process, I am even more doubtful about the accuracy of four times."
"To find out, I'm going to test it myself."
"It's a pity that the new iPad is not on the market. For this reason, we are going to the Apple flagship store to test it."
"In order to proceed smoothly, I found some friends to be wingmen and cover me. I will operate it, and another friend will use a camera hidden in the bag to record the whole process!"
"Okay, the wingmen are in place to attract all the store clerk's attention."
"The cameras are in place to record the entire process."
"I'll start testing!"
"Download the test software from the APP store and start testing."
"The first is the CPU test. In this part we will use Sunspider 1 and Rightware BrowserMark, two commonly used CPU test software, for testing."
Wang Yi suddenly said: "Yes, there is no AnTuTu these days. How about Xingyi Technology investing in AnTuTu?"
There is no way, Xingyi Technology does not invest, but friends invest, then Xingyi Mobile will not be able to win no matter how powerful it is.
This was the case with Huawei in the previous life. It had just finished first, modified the algorithm overnight, and promoted you to fifth place the next day, and dropped out of the top ten on the third day.
In this way, AnTuTu also needs to invest for strategic reasons.
Wang Yi doesn't want to be cheated and taken advantage of by his friends.
Soon, both groups finished the test:
"Sunspider 1, the third-generation iPad scored 95,141 points, less than 100,000... How should I put it, very poor, not as good as the previous generation iPad!"
"I remember that the second-generation iPad both scored more than 100,000 points. The ASUS tablet and Xingyi Tablet X1pro are only more terrifying. In terms of CPU, the third-generation iPad lags far behind."
“Rightware BrowserMark, the third generation of iPad only has a score of 50, and it’s also very hip-straining.”
"Similarly, during the test, it can be seen that the program switching becomes unsmooth and even has some lags. This kind of performance is very embarrassing."
"Okay, the CPU test is over. Next, we use GLBenchmark 1 to test the GPU."
"The GPU test results are also out. The third generation iPad scored 140 points, which is a very good result."
"It's broken. The shopping guide found it. Let's retreat first!"
With that said, the bloggers and cameramen left one after another and returned to their homes:
"The CPU performance and GPU performance of the third-generation iPad have been tested. The CPU is very stretched and not as good as the previous generation iPad. The system fluency is also not as good. It is probably because the resolution of the new iPad is too radical and the configuration cannot keep up."
"Next, we continue to complete the testing of the control group."
"For the control group, we chose three tablets: iPad 2, ASUS tablet, and Xingyi tablet X1pro!"
"Use the above three software to test the three products respectively. Then compare them with the third generation iPad."
Soon, three tablet models and three sets of tests were completed.
"At this point, the entire testing process has been completed perfectly. The next step is to announce the results!"
“First up is the CPU test, Sunspider 1 scores:
iPad 3rd generation: 95141 points, fourth place!
ipad second generation: 101201 points, third place!
ASUS Tablet: 151,475 points, second place!
Xingyi Tablet X1pro: 191247 points, first place!
"There is a big gap in the Sunspider 1 test. The third-generation iPad ranks last and is not as good as the previous generation. Tegra 3 performs amazingly, especially the Xingyi Tablet X1pro, which is the best optimized and has twice the CPU performance of the third-generation iPad!"
"For users who like to multitask, the third generation iPad is not a good choice, but the Xingyi Tablet X1pro is!"
"Next, the CPU test results of Rightware BrowserMark will be announced:
iPad 3rd generation: 50 points, fourth place.
ipad second generation: 60 points, third place!
ASUS tablet: 70 points, second place!
Xingyi Tablet X1pro: 95 points, first place!
"The Rightware BrowserMark test results are very similar to those of Sunspider 1. The CPU of the third generation iPad is very slow, only about half of that of Xingyi Tablet X1pro."
"It can be said that the CPU performance of Xingyi Tablet X1pro is twice that of the third generation iPad!"
"Next up are the GPU test results."
ASUS tablet: 72 points, fourth place.
ipad second generation: 80 points, third place!
Xingyi tablet X1pro: 90 points, second place!
iPad 3rd generation: 140 points, first place!
"The test results are obvious. Although the third-generation iPad's GPU is more powerful and takes first place, the gap between it and the second-place Xingyi Tablet X1pro is not big. Not only does it not reach the legendary four times, it does not even reach 2 times.
Arrived, only 5 times!”
"Even compared with the fourth-place Asus tablet, the GPU performance of the third generation iPad is less than twice that of the Asus tablet."
"Therefore, the four-fold gap mentioned by Apple officials is pure nonsense."
"After this test, I seriously suspect that the so-called four-fold gap is a unilateral fabrication by Apple and has no factual basis."
"I strongly condemn this behavior."
"In fact, the GPU performance of the third generation iPad is five times that of the Xingyi Tablet X1pro, while the CPU performance of the Xingyi Tablet X1pro is twice that of the third generation iPad!"
"Generally speaking, both sides have their own merits. The so-called four-fold gap is completely a malicious business method on the part of Apple to discredit its friends."
"As for the testing of camera, multi-program operation and other aspects, there is no need to conduct it at all. Xingyi Tablet X1pro is several times better than the third generation iPad."

As soon as this video came out, the entire Internet was shocked, and the public opinion below was abuzz:
"Oh my God, Apple is actually cheating. There is really no limit. There is no limit."
"I wondered at the time, how could Tegra 3 and A5X be four times different from the same generation products? It turned out that Apple was cheating."
"Even this is cheating. Apple is shameless and deceives consumers!"
"There is no way, the third generation iPad only has a more powerful GPU, with a 50% advantage, but it can't be boasted to 400%!"
"Blow 50% to 400%, eight times the water content, Apple 6!"
"According to this logic, the CPU of Xingyi tablet X1pro is 16 times that of the third generation iPad?"
"Hahaha, you can say that."
“The iPad’s third-generation CPU is really rubbish!”
"The third generation of iPad has a good screen, and the GPU has some advantages. Other features such as anti-freeze, storage, lens, split screen, beauty, appearance design, texture, etc. are not as good as Xingyi Tablet X1pro. It is better to buy Xingyi Tablet X1pro."
"Yes, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I will return the third generation iPad and reserve the full price for Xingyi Tablet X1pro!"
"By the way, isn't the blogger's test waterless? What if he also cheats on the test?"
"How did you cheat? In the Apple flagship store, a third-generation iPad prototype was used for testing. How did you cheat?"
"As for the scores of the control group, you can just find one and test it yourself."
"That's right, the blogger has no problem with the whole process, but the third generation iPad is rubbish."
"I also discovered in the Apple Experience Store that the smoothness of the third generation iPad is not as smooth as the previous generation iPad. Really, it is even a bit laggy."
"Not only is the card stuck, but the battery also loses power quickly. Careful friends have seen that in the blogger's test, the old iPad only lost 5% of the battery, and the third generation iPad lost 10%!"
"This shows that the third-generation iPad screen has been upgraded too much, and the configuration, battery life, and smoothness have all been stretched."
"That's right, it's better to go a little further."
"Then why is Xingyi Tablet X1pro okay?"
"Don't forget that the Xingyi Tablet X1pro has four cores, so it has advantages in multi-tasking. It also has 2GB of RAM, so there is no pressure."
"Having said that, I really can't buy the third generation iPad. It is completely outclassed by the Xingyi Tablet X1pro."

For a time, public opinion online changed completely, and everyone became aware of the problem.
Many users have even returned their third-generation iPads and reserved full-price Xingyi Tablet X1pro.
There is no way, the Xingyi Tablet X1pro is selling so hotly that it is out of stock globally and can only be pre-sold.
As a result, the sales of Xingyi Tablet X1pro surged again, and soon returned to 20W of full daily reservations, or even more.
However, the number of full-price reservations for the third generation iPad has dropped sharply, and has been cut in half, not to mention 200,000, not even 100,000!
After all, except for the screen and GPU, the third generation iPad is not as good as the Xingyi Tablet X1pro in other aspects!
In addition, Apple's cheating test deceived the public, which aroused people's disgust.
Looking at this scene, Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"It's Apple's turn to feel uncomfortable now, but what will be even more uncomfortable will be after the iPad is launched."
"Why?" Jian Ziyan was full of curiosity.
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "High-resolution screens are not so easy to use, they are very demanding on configuration!"
"The Xingyi Tablet X1pro has a resolution of 1920
"The third-generation iPad has a resolution of 2048x1536, which is a little higher than ours and requires more configuration. It has a dual-core CPU + 1G of storage, so it is very difficult to achieve smooth performance."
In the previous generation, the third-generation iPad had a huge resolution upgrade. It was upgraded from the second-generation 1024x768 resolution to the 2048x1536-pixel resolution at once. As a result, the third-generation iPad used a slightly smaller card and the smoothness was not as good as the second-generation iPad.
In terms of game experience, etc., the third generation is not as good as the second generation.
In fact, many companies make this mistake.
For example, the first generation of mobile phones with 2K screens were mostly gimmicky, had poor experience, poor battery life, and system lags!
Not as easy to use as 1080P.
Similarly, Apple is also facing this problem now.
Including the Xingyi Tablet X1pro, if it weren’t for quad-core + 2G storage, it wouldn’t be able to hold it down!
Jian Ziyan suddenly realized it, but then she couldn't help but said: "The ASUS tablet is also Nvidia's quad-core, and there is also a 2G RAM version. How come it looks so slim? It's not as good as the third generation iPad."
Wang Yi burst into laughter: "Because they didn't adjust it well. The NVIDIA quad-core processor is very powerful, but it also generates serious heat. Once it gets hot, it will reduce the frequency, resulting in greater power consumption, more serious heat, and worse performance!"
"The Xingyi Tablet X1pro uses multiple heat dissipations to ensure that during heavy gaming, the Xingyi Tablet X1pro will not overheat or reduce frequency, thus maintaining high performance."
"In addition, we have also put a lot of effort into algorithm tuning to achieve such an effect."
"That's it." Jian Ziyan suddenly realized: "No wonder the ASUS tablet is so stretched. It turns out that the heat dissipation is not done well and the algorithm tuning is not done well."
As a reborn person, Wang Yike understands that powerful performance does not mean powerful experience.
Only powerful performance + excellent heat dissipation + excellent tuning can bring out the strongest strength of the chip.
Some of the Snapdragon chips in previous generations overturned collectively, and no one could adjust them well, and no one could suppress them.
There are also some companies that have adjusted well enough to be able to suppress the situation, while other companies have simply overturned.
Nvidia's quad-core processor has powerful quad-core performance, but rollover is also serious.
Wang Yi can handle it under multiple heat dissipation conditions, but it is hard to say for other competitors.
For example, the quad-core chip Tegra 3 of ASUS Tablet has serious overturning and severe heating. The actual experience is not as good as the dual-core Tegra 2 of Xingyi Tablet X1!
Wang Yike knows that Asus is just starting and will overturn when HTC ONE x is launched.
Other friends and businessmen, one by one, collectively overturned, especially when summer is approaching and the temperature soars, it will be very hot.
However, Wang Yi will not say this to the outside world. On the contrary, it will only make Zhu Changlin crazy about heat dissipation during the design stage!
He also asked Lao Huang to send a top team to work with experts from Xingyi Semiconductor to optimize and adjust to ensure that Tegra 3 is very cool on Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets!
Apple headquarters.
The sudden change of situation caught Cook off guard:
"It's only the third day, and they actually released a test! They revealed our old ways and caused our sales to plummet. It's amazing, it's amazing, it's amazing."
According to Apple's estimates, testing will not be available until the third generation iPad is released seven days later.
The results came out in three days, and they were tested in an Apple store, which gave Cook a headache.
Jesse also looked depressed: "They were tested in our store. If you want to say they cheated, it's hard to fix them."
"Yes, but it has to be said that it is not easy to correct. We must never admit that Apple is cheating!"
"Yes, let's just say that the blogger's test was not standard and the test results are meaningless."
"good!"
Soon, Apple issued a statement: "The iPad's third-generation GPU is indeed overly powerful, several times that of Nvidia's quad-core chip. The blogger's test was not standard at all, and the test results did not explain anything. It was too biased towards the Xingyi Tablet X1pro.
, just a biased 'test'..."
Watching this scene, Wang Yi didn't say anything, and Lao Huang was furious:
"Okay, before testing, you said it was four times better than our Nvidia, and you said we were the fifth scum in the world."
"Now that we have overcome the obstacles and the test was successful, you say that the test was not standard and the results are not recognized!"
"Whether it's black or white, you have the final say? Right?"
"How can you bear this?"
Furious, Huang directly logged into Twitter and issued a statement using his own account:
"I personally don't want to pay attention to Apple's previous jumping up and down methods, but they have no lower limit."
"Without providing any test data or any test process, Apple claims that the GPU of A5X is four times that of Tegra 3. This is pure nonsense without evidence."
"Now a blogger borrowed a prototype from Apple's flagship store and did a test. The result is that the A5X CPU performance is only half that of tegra 3, and the GPU is only 50% stronger than tegra 3, far from the legendary 400%!"
"This test result severely slaps the face of Apple and Chairman Cook. It also exposes Apple's nonsense and dirty methods of cheating in testing."
"For this reason, both Cook and Apple began to say that the blogger's test was not standard and the test results were meaningless."
"Then why don't you publish your standard tests?"
"Don't talk about standards, you don't even have tests."
"This kind of method really cannot be put on the table."
"Finally, I hope that Cook and Apple will maintain their magnanimity and responsibility as a human being. I hope that Mr. Cook will be a magnanimous and responsible person and do his best to make a difference!"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately became a hot search topic:
"It's so funny that Lao Huang doesn't use curse words when he curses people!"
"What does it mean to be an upright person and do your job properly? I suspect that Director Huang is driving, but I have no evidence."
"What a double entendre, I think Cook was so angry. Hahaha."
"Old Huang was so angry that he personally went out and bombarded Apple."
"Yes, Apple has no lower limit. Regardless of whether Nvidia's testing is standard or not, at least it has a testing process, data, and is open and transparent. But Apple's testing has nothing, except that it is four times as good as Nvidia's! It's simply shameless."
"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
"This kind of company is unreliable, so you should choose Xingyi Tablet X1pro. The third generation iPad is not worth looking forward to."
“Xingyi Tablet X1pro is too big, I like Xingyi Tablet X1!”
"Xingyi Tablet X1 and Xingyi Tablet X1pro are both very good. The only bad thing is that they are out of stock and have to wait, which is frustrating!"

Lao Huang's bombardment directly destroyed Apple.
But there was nothing I could do. I couldn't stand on my own feet, so of course I couldn't respond.
When testing the quadruple results, Apple first made the Asus tablet play at extremely high temperatures and started to reduce the frequency, and then tested it with the third-generation iPad that had just been turned on.
The GPU performance is naturally more than three times that of the ASUS tablet.
For the sake of a gimmick, Jesse rounded it up and quadrupled it!
Where can I dare to continue testing now?
Isn’t this self-revelation?
Of course, the war of words must continue.
In the next few days, Apple and Nvidia continued to have a war of words and fight on the Internet.
Then ASUS came in and accused Apple of maliciously smearing...
Wang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to this.
Let Apple and Lao Huang tear it apart, the longer the better.
And Wang Yi is about to start a new journey - trial production of self-developed chips!
