Chapter 416 Qualcomm wants to cut off supply? Xingyi Cloud Data Center is delivered!
Due to patent restrictions, Xingyi mobile phones will still not be sold globally next year, but the chips can be sold!
Sell Kunpeng 510 to HTC, Sony, LG, Motorola, Lenovo and other brands.
Let them go to Asanjuan to grab overseas markets.
Xingyi Technology makes money by selling chips and other accessories, which can be regarded as an internationalization curve!
And it's entirely possible.
Qualcomm APQ 8064 does not come with a baseband, so you have to buy a matching baseband.
Qualcomm baseband price was slashed to $11 by Wang Yi.
A set of 8064 chip + baseband chip costs 11+12 US dollars, a total of 23 US dollars, about 150 yuan. It can only be said to be a cabbage price.
But Qualcomm’s price to other competitors is much higher. The 8064 chip costs 20 US dollars, the bundled baseband chip costs 17 US dollars, and a set is 37 US dollars, which is about 245 yuan!
The Kunpeng 510 SOC uses a 40nm process, which is much cheaper than Qualcomm's 28nm.
The baseband is also integrated, and the cost is reduced by half again. In addition to self-research and production, the output is large, and the total cost is only about 30 yuan.
Qualcomm 8064 requires third-party foundry, and the 28nm chip cost and foundry fee are more expensive, at least 50+.
In addition, the 28nm baseband costs 40+, and the total cost reaches 90+, which is more than three times that of Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 510.
Qualcomm sells a set for 245 yuan, and Kunpeng 510 sells for 210 yuan, or even 185 yuan, you can make more.
Kunpeng 510 has a lower price, plus tuning services, and it is still a 64-bit processor. Its actual performance is not inferior to 8064, or even slightly better, and it can definitely grab a large number of orders from Qualcomm!
Thinking of this, Wang Yi was ready to take action.
Qualcomm cannot make all the profits from chips!
After being reborn, can Qualcomm be allowed to do the same as in its previous life, relying on Snapdragon chips, allowing a number of domestic mobile phone brands to collectively work for Qualcomm? To make money for Qualcomm?
This is impossible!
Wang Yi must seize the food from the tiger's mouth and win back the order.
Even if domestic brands are allowed to work for chip manufacturers, they still have to work for Xingyi Semiconductor!
Not only are the Kunpeng 500 and 510 available for sale, but next year’s Kunpeng 700 will also be available for sale.
Kunpeng 700 and Qualcomm 800 are both built on a 28nm process. The difference is that Kunpeng 700 does not have an integrated baseband, while Qualcomm 800 has an integrated baseband.
It is precisely because Kunpeng 700 does not have an integrated baseband that the design difficulty is much lower. It can make crazy efforts in GPU and surpass Qualcomm's GPU.
That’s right, Kunpeng 700 directly uses the mali-T658 mp4 quad-core GPU, which is much stronger than the Adreno 330 GPU of Qualcomm 800.
The performance of Adreno 330 GPU is very powerful, much better than mali-T604, similar to mali-T628 mp6 6-core GPU, but far inferior to the quad-core GPU of mali-T658 mp4!
As for why not just make the Kunpeng 700's GPU 6-core or even 8-core?
Of course, there is room for upgrades to compete with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 by the end of next year!
Qualcomm first released the more powerful Snapdragon 805 in November 2013, and the weaker Snapdragon 801 in February 2014.
Wang Yi also has to prepare backup plans!
Both are made using a 28nm process, and the Kunpeng 700’s GPU crushes the Qualcomm 800, while the CPU is at least 50-50 faster.
It can be said that except that Kunpeng 700 does not have a baseband, its performance comprehensively surpasses Qualcomm 800!
On Kunpeng 700, Wang Yi played Tian Ji horse racing.
If the baseband is also integrated, research and development will be too difficult, and Kunpeng 700 will definitely not be able to compete with Qualcomm 800.
Therefore, Wang Yi chose to use an external baseband solution for Kunpeng 700 to increase the GPU performance, making the performance of Kunpeng 700 surpass Qualcomm 800!
It covers everything, but it doesn’t cover everything.
Due to the integrated baseband of Qualcomm 800, the GPU cannot be stronger and the frequency cannot be higher, otherwise it will overturn like the 810, and the performance will not be as good as the Kunpeng 700.
By then, the Qualcomm 800 integrated baseband will have baseband advantages, while the Kunpeng 700 will have stronger performance and performance advantages. Each has its own strengths.
In this way, Kunpeng 700 can also be sold to reliable third-party customers like Kunpeng 500 and Kunpeng 510.
For a while, Wang Yi made a plan.
More than ten years later, HiSilicon will become independent and sell mobile phone chips to third-party customers.
It can only show that chips have to be sold externally, and the path for personal use is narrowed.
More importantly, Nvidia will not be able to suppress Qualcomm next year. Wang Yi can only take action personally and use Xingyi Semiconductor to suppress Qualcomm!
By then, Xingyi Semiconductor and Qualcomm will also be competing head-on!
As for the outcome of the competition, one must die.
Well, Nvidia is dead!
When the boss fights with the second child, it is always the third child who gets screwed!
Without the Xingyi chip, Nvidia's mobile phone chips could still survive for two more years.
Now that we have Xingyi chips and compete head-on with Qualcomm, Nvidia's mobile phone chips will only be finished faster.
After all, NVIDIA's baseband is too poor, it doesn't support CDMA, and it's inherently disabled, so it's hard to be successful.
Qualcomm does not know about Wang Yi's deployment.
Just the matter of the power management chip made everyone at Qualcomm very angry.
So much so that Jacob couldn't sit still and decisively held a high-level meeting:
"Everyone knows the recent events. Xingyi Semiconductor actually developed the x-charge fast charging standard, and also developed the fast charging chip C1 and power management chip P1, which caused more than a dozen mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, and HTC to all
Placing orders with Xingyi Technology has seriously impacted the sales of our Qualcomm power management chips."
"You know, Samsung, Sony and other companies were originally customers of Qualcomm, and they all bought our power management chips. From this business alone, we can earn tens of billions of dollars every year."
"It's good now. Customers have been taken away by Xingyi Technology. Next year's flagship mobile phones will all be equipped with Xingyi Technology's power management chips and fast charging chips as standard! But our sales of Qualcomm's power management chips have dropped sharply, and we have suffered heavy losses!"
"There are also those 5-watt power management chips in the warehouse, which are also due to declining sales and excessive inventory, making things worse."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened.
No one expected that Qualcomm, which had been stealing customers from others, would actually be robbed of customers!
This is simply incredible.
With CDMA, Qualcomm is not generally strong.
From a small business, it overturned the skull of the chip giant Texas Instruments and became a chip giant!
But now, Xingyi Semiconductor has taken advantage of it.
Can this be tolerated?
All the senior executives yelled:
"Xingyi Technology has gone too far. Doesn't it use our chips? Cut off their supply!"
"Yes, Xphone 2 is selling like hotcakes, so we cut off supply to Xingyi Technology, causing them heavy losses!"
"Only in this way can they recognize the reality and know the strength of Qualcomm."
"???" Jacob was confused and looked at the directors who spoke in disbelief: "Are you all thinking such nonsense?"
Several directors were speechless for a moment: "..."
Jacob was speechless: "Xingyi Technology is our opponent, but it is also our super big customer. Xingyi xphone 1 and Xingyi Tablet X1 both use our Qualcomm dual-core processors and have already purchased our 1.3
100 million dual-core chips. More than 100 million 40nm baseband chips. And we are still purchasing! Our dual-core chips are only supported by orders from Xingyi Technology, and we make a lot of money."
"If we dare to cut off the supply of APQ 8064 chips, Xingyi Technology will immediately stop buying dual-core chips, and Nvidia Tegra 2 will quickly make up for it and grab our orders!"
"Similarly, if we dare to cut off the supply of 8064, Xingyi Technology will immediately replace it with Nvidia's Tegra 3!"
"This..." Everyone was silent, but felt aggrieved in their hearts.
If other customers dare to steal Qualcomm chips, they will be cut off and punished.
But a big customer like Xingyi Technology is so aggressive that even if you want to sanction it, it won't work.
Once sanctions are imposed, Xingyi Technology will have Nvidia to make up for it, but Qualcomm will suffer heavy losses.
But some people are still unconvinced: "Xphone 2 has a 1080P screen. Even if Xingyi Technology replaces it with NVIDIA Tegra 3, it will be useless. Tegra 3 cannot carry 1080P!"
"Yes, so if we cut off the supply, Xingyi Technology's best-selling Xphone 2 will be finished, and it will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
"Or, make a compromise and keep supplying. If the price of APQ8064 increases in the future, the price given to Xingyi Technology is really too cheap. It is simply a cabbage price. The price must be increased."
Jacob sighed: "You have a good idea, but it is not realistic at all."
"We have delivered 30 million sets of 8064 chips, which is enough for Xingyi Technology to sell for several months. NVIDIA's Tegra 3 cannot support 1080P. If we cut off supply, the subsequent Tegra 3 will not be able to sustain it at all. Don't forget,
Nvidia’s next generation Tegra 4 is coming soon, and Tegra 4 will be released at CES 2013 on January 7 next year.”
"The 40nm Tegra 3 cannot carry 1080P. What about the 28nm Tegra 4? Can't it also?"
"This..." Everyone was silent again.
As Jacob said, if Tegra 3 cannot be driven, the next generation Tegra 4 will definitely be able to carry it.
The vice president took a deep breath: "The chairman is right. Once we stop supplying Xingyi Technology, the 30 million APQ 8064 units that have been delivered are enough for Xingyi Technology to last until January next year. By then, Xingyi Technology will replace it with NVIDIA Tegra 4. We will
Qualcomm is in a terrible situation. Not only did they lose tens of millions of orders, but they also forced Xingyi Technology, a large customer, to go to Nvidia, which is equivalent to cutting off both arms! This is not acceptable."
Jacob nodded: "Severing the supply of Xingyi Technology will only cause heavy losses to Qualcomm, which is absolutely undesirable. On the contrary, not only can we not cut off the supply, not only can we not increase prices, but we must continue to serve Xingyi Technology well and give priority to the 8064 chip.
Supply to Xingyi Technology to prevent them from switching to Nvidia’s Tegra 4 next year!”
"This year, Xingyi Technology's Xphone 1pro and Xingyi tablet X1pro, as well as Xingyi TV, have purchased 150 million NVIDIA tegra 3 chips! These were originally orders from us, just because our quad-core flagship is slower than NVIDIA's
Half a year has been taken away by NVIDIA!"
"Next year, we will never allow this to happen again!"
Thinking of this incident, Jacob's heart ached and his skin hurt.
If there were no orders from Xingyi Technology, Nvidia would not be able to make much money from its mobile phone chips.
But because of Xingyi Technology’s large order of 150 million, Nvidia Tegra 3 immediately sold out and made billions of dollars!
So much so that Huang took advantage of it and continued to develop the next generation Tegra 4 and continued to grab orders from Qualcomm.
"Yes, not only can we not cut off the supply of Xingyi Technology, but we must also serve Xingyi Technology well. We must not let Nvidia Tegra 4 continue to grab our Qualcomm 800 orders next year!"
"Xingyi Technology really can't afford to offend us, so why do we, Qualcomm, suffer from this cowardice in vain? Are we just going to tolerate it like this?"
"Otherwise? Xingyi Technology is our opponent, and it is also a super big customer. If we steal our customers, we can only break our teeth and swallow them."
"Yes, after all, power management chips are not valuable, but mobile phone chips are very valuable, so we can only endure it and don't lose a lot for a small amount."
Jacob sighed: "That's right. We can't bear the current situation. Of course, we at Qualcomm can't admit defeat. We must develop a 10-watt fast charging chip as soon as possible and develop our Qualcomm fast charging standard. And then launch it quickly.
Grab our big customers back!"
"It makes sense. We will win back with our strength by then. It's just normal business competition. Xingyi Technology can't say anything. When the time comes to buy our mobile phone chips, we will have to continue to buy them."
"Yes, let's do it." Jacob nodded and looked at Fran Hammond: "Give you half a year to make Qualcomm's 10-watt fast charging standard, fast charging chip, and power management chip for me!"
Fran Hammond's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head: "Chairman, this is unrealistic! We have to develop a new fast charging solution. When the solution is completed, we have to develop fast charging chips, power management chips, and
High-end film production is unrealistic every year."
"One year? So long?" Jacob's face changed sharply: "It will take one year to develop 10-watt fast charging. By then, the world will have Xingyi fast charging. What about our Qualcomm?"
"Chairman, there is no way around this. We still have to bypass Xingyi Technology's patented technology, which is very difficult." Fran Hammond said:
"For example, fast charging is like a dense forest, and the solution for fast charging is to find a correct path and successfully get out of the dense forest. Xingyi Technology was the first to go. It easily found a way and not only successfully walked out of the dense forest.
, and also planted many landmines called patents in the nearby dense forest."
"If we at Qualcomm want to get out of the dense forest, we not only have to find a new and correct path, but we also have to avoid the patent landmines laid by Xingyi Technology, which is even more difficult."
"This..." Jacob was silent.
But I have to admit that this metaphor is very vivid and very reasonable.
Not only do we have to find a brand new solution, but we also have to avoid Xingyi’s fast charging patent, which is even more difficult.
Fran Hammond continued: "Not only does Qualcomm take a year, but Samsung, Intel, and Texas Instruments will also take a year at the fastest!"
"It is precisely for this reason that although Samsung has R&D capabilities, it takes a year to develop, so it still placed an order for 10 million sets of Xingyi fast charging chips for next year's Samsung flagship mobile phone!"
Jacob understood it completely and sighed unwillingly:
"Just one year, alas! I'm afraid that in one year, the entire fast charging market will be Xingyi Technology's x-charge fast charging protocol, and all will have X charging ports."
Fran Hammond nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is very likely to be the case. Even our Qualcomm fast charging solution has to abandon the A port and use Xingyi Technology's X port!"
"Then let's abandon port A. Blind insertion of port X forward and reverse is considered progress and will become mainstream sooner or later." Jacob said with a sad expression.
But a senior executive couldn't help but said: "Chairman, will we continue to produce our 5-watt power management chips?"
"Production is nothing. Customers have been taken away by Xingyi Technology, and the inventory is severely overstocked. What else is there to produce? All production is stopped, and we will wait until the inventory is almost sold out!"
"yes!"
Jacob closed his eyes and said quietly: "It feels really uncomfortable to just watch our customers come in front of us and make Qualcomm our pursuers."
At the beginning of this year, Nvidia Tegra 3 came out, releasing a quad-core mobile phone processor half a year ahead of schedule, taking away a large number of Qualcomm's customers and orders. Jacob was very aggrieved.
Now that Qualcomm APQ 8064 is released, it finally launches the 28nm quad-core and regains a win.
As a result, Xingyi Technology's x-chagre fast charger came out of the blue, launching a 10-watt fast charger one year ahead of the competition, and snatched away a large number of customers and orders!
Jacob is frustrated again!
"Fake! Nvidia and Xingyi Technology are taking turns to torture us!" Jacob couldn't help but curse.
What’s even more frustrating is that Xingyi Technology has obviously stolen many customers, but it doesn’t dare to cut off supply. Instead, it has to beg the other party to continue purchasing.
"And Apple can't afford to offend us, so we have to beg them to buy our baseband chips!"
"well!"
Jacob became more and more angry as he thought about it, not knowing that this was just the beginning and he would be even more angry next year.
The chip battle between the Xia Kingdom and the American Empire is indispensable, but it started a few years earlier in this life.
The main player has also changed from Huawei in the previous life to Xingyi Technology!
Wang Yi didn't pay much attention to this, but instead came to the Xingyi Cloud Data Center with Song Sining.
The scene was decorated with lights and colors, and the media gathered.
"Director Wang is here!"
One person shouted like this, and all the media were excited, and they aimed their spears and cannons at Wang Yi:
"Director Wang, how many cabinets can the first phase of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center be delivered?"
"Director Wang, how many servers can be deployed in one phase?"
"Dr. Wang, in addition to the second phase that is under construction, there are hundreds of acres of open space behind it. Will the third or fourth phase be built?"
"President Song, what scale will the Xingyi Cloud Data Center reach after it is completed?"
…
Faced with questions from everyone, Wang Yi and Song Sining looked at each other and laughed dumbly.
These days, data centers are still very important, especially for such large data centers, and the media can't help but go crazy.
After all, other people's data centers are only a few dozen acres, and the first and second phases of Wang Yi's data center that have already started are 100 acres.
There are 100 acres of open space behind it, making it the largest single data center in the country, and even the largest in the world!
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone. I will attend the delivery ceremony first, and I will answer all your questions collectively later. Please give way!"
Under the protection of the security team, Wang Yi and Song Sining finally squeezed onto the stage.
Director Hong looked at this scene and joked: "Oh, it was the same when I first came here. It was hard to squeeze in."
Wang Yi smiled: "If I had known this, I would have followed you."
"Why, you still want me to attract the media's attention for you? Haha."
"It's not impossible, after all, he is a good public servant of the people." Wang Yixiao said.
"Okay, then when the second phase is delivered, I will attract firepower for you. If I am still in Jeju." Director Hong said something intriguing.
Director Hong is not only the director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, but also the top leader of the Jeju City Investment Promotion Bureau.
From the introduction of Meiyou Technology Park last year to this year’s Unbounded Technology Park, as well as Xingyi Mobile Phone Super Factory No. 1 and No. 2, Xingyi Tablet Factory No. 1 and No. 2, and Meiyou’s new clothing factory...
It can be said that Director Hong has outstanding political achievements.
With so many political achievements, it will be difficult to stay in Jeju next year.
There is a high probability that it will go up.
As for how far he has been promoted, Wang Yi doesn't know.
But the triple jump is certain, and it is possible to be transferred to other cities as a leader.
Similarly, Director Qin of the Imperial Capital is not only the director of the Haicheng District Management Committee, but also a senior official of the Imperial Capital Development and Reform Commission. He is expected to be promoted as well...
There is no way, the political achievements are too outstanding...
However, this makes Wang Yi a little worried. If the person is changed, will the big projects signed this year be able to continue to advance next year?
Now Wang Yi can't help but worry about whether the remaining major projects can be safely completed once Director Hong leaves.
Perhaps seeing Wang Yi's worry, Director Hong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology are not only star companies in Jeju, but also core companies in the province. I don't know how many people are watching. Even if I leave, they will all be implemented for you, don't worry. Not to mention I'm just a
Director, the top leader won’t be able to leave next year. And you have created so much tax revenue and jobs, no one dares to mess around.”
Hearing this, Wang Yi was very determined.
Next year, both Xingyi Technology and Meiyou Technology will have many large projects to be launched in Jeju, so as long as there are no problems.
"Come on, let's cut the ribbon!" Director Hong said kindly.
Subsequently, both parties held a ribbon-cutting ceremony together, and the first phase of Xingyi Data Center was officially delivered.
Of course, it's just the infrastructure, the servers and fiber optic equipment inside have to be arranged by Wang Yi himself.
After the ribbon-cutting was completed, a vehicle drove into the data center and began to install servers and other equipment.
Wang Yize began to deal with media reporters:
"I have written down all the questions you just asked, and I will answer them all now."
"The entire Xingyi Cloud data center covers an area of 200 acres. The first phase delivered so far covers an area of 50 acres, can accommodate 4,000 cabinets, and can deploy more than 50,000 servers!"
Then Wang Yi pointed to the distance: "On the west side, the second phase of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center is under construction. It is expected to be delivered in the first half of next year. It covers an area of 50 acres and can accommodate 4,000 cabinets and can deploy more than 50,000 servers.
."
"Similarly, the two open spaces on the south side are also fifty acres each. Construction will start next year and will become the third and fourth phases of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center."
"When the fourth phase of the cloud data center is completed, it will be able to deploy more than 16,000 cabinets and more than 200,000 servers."
"By then it will be the largest single cloud data center in the country, the largest single cloud data center in Asia, and the largest single cloud data center in the world!"
Applause resounded throughout the audience, and the media present were shocked.
I didn't expect Xingyi Technology to be so big, with 200,000 servers.
monomer!
This scene was also broadcast live simultaneously by major media.
Watching Wang Yi's high-spirited and eloquent conversation during the live broadcast, the corners of Baidu's old director Li Yan's mouth twitched:
“With 200,000 servers per unit, Xingyi Technology’s ambitions are really big!”
"Our Baidu cloud data centers add up to only 100,000 servers."
"A cloud data center of Xingyi Technology requires 200,000 servers, twice that of Baidu!"
"That's great!"
"How ambitious!"
Chapter completed!
