Chapter 562: Thousands of sails have passed, the king returns (please vote)
“We don’t have mid-to-low-end 4G chips, so Xingyi Technology is imitating Qualcomm and holding a trade fair, which is destined to be a joke.”
"4G is coming by the end of the year, who will buy 3G chips?"
"There is no point in talking about being far ahead all day long. Xingyi Technology cannot be obsessed with temporary results. It needs to work harder to have any hope of catching up with Qualcomm!"
Looking at these remarks, Qualcomm Chairman Jacob laughed:
"The eyes of the masses are sharp. Look, even these big bastards..."
"No, these dear netizens all say this, which shows that the public is not optimistic about the Xingyi Technology No. 3 exhibition at all."
"Hahaha!" All the other senior executives burst into laughter:
"That's right. It's okay if Xingyi Technology shrinks back and gives in, but wants to confront us head-on! Are they not humiliating themselves?"
"Our Qualcomm 4G chips come in four grades: high-end, mid-range, low-end, entry-level, and they only have one. Why are they going head-to-head? It's simply funny."
"I think it's because Kunpeng 902 was so successful that Xingyi Technology expanded to the point where we no longer have a name."
"Hahaha, that should be the case, otherwise I wouldn't be stuck at the sales meeting on the 3rd and be humiliating myself!"
Jacob nodded: "Actually, this is fine. The more obvious the comparison, the more mobile phone manufacturers, users, and people from all walks of life will realize the gap in strength. They will realize the terrifying background of Qualcomm in the chip field and crush Xingyi Technology.
The strength!”
"Yes, otherwise Kunpeng 902 SOC surpassed Snapdragon 800 by luck, and people would mistakenly think that our Qualcomm is really not as good as Xingyi Technology!"
"Okay, now, Xingyi Technology committed suicide, which directly proved the strength and foundation of our Qualcomm, and also made those big customers know who they should follow in this chip war!"
"Chip manufacturers that support Qualcomm will be able to enjoy the first launch of their chips in the future. Those that don't support it... well, if they want to support it in the future, they will have to queue up!"
"That's right, people have to pay for their own mistakes. The same goes for major mobile phone manufacturers."
"Especially those manufacturers who gave up on Snapdragon 800 and chose to buy Kunpeng 902 SOC. Take note of it and liquidate them one by one! In the future, the launch of Qualcomm chips will have nothing to do with them!"
Jacob nodded: "That's a good idea, let's do it!"
Regarding these public opinions, Jian Ziyan was very angry:
"This group of people really just don't see the good of domestic products. When we didn't make a breakthrough, they said we were incompetent. We made a breakthrough and surpassed Qualcomm, but they said we didn't surpass it in all aspects. They were arrogant and complacent."
"You've been kneeling for so long that you can't stand up?"
Zhu Changlin was also very angry: "Da Zhongzi, a group of big Zhongzi! The difference is that other people are colonized by the body, but they are colonized by the spirit. These guys just don't see the good of domestic products! They are stupid!"
"Not to mention that domestically produced products are in the overall lead and have surpassed Qualcomm. Even if they are not in the overall lead and are still catching up, they are worthy of recognition and support!"
"Is it possible that domestic production has to be blank, have no output at all, have to be completely backward, and completely rely on foreign companies, for them to be happy?"
"The more national and global, they don't even understand this truth?"
"What a bastard, you big bastard!"
Wang Yi was used to hearing the angry words of the two people.
This kind of thing is too common.
In his previous life, Huazi carried the banner of domestic production and marched forward in the storm.
Even if it is hammered, it has to use the 7nm process to mass-produce flagship chips. Although the running scores are not as good as Apple's and Qualcomm's 3nm and 4nm chips, the actual experience is not inferior.
But what do some netizens say?
Saying that their performance is poor!
Is the performance really bad?
9020 played Genshin Impact for two hours at a high temperature of 27 degrees, with 60 frames of high quality, and with the pins turned off, it maintained about 50 frames throughout the whole process, and the temperature was mostly maintained at about 37-40 degrees.
This kind of performance cannot be achieved by iPhone 16 pro, right?
In an environment of 27 degrees Celsius, playing Genshin Impact high-definition for two hours on iPhone 16 pro can burn you to death. It has already locked the core and downclocked, and the performance has been reduced.
8gen2 can't do it either.
At a temperature of 27 degrees, many 8gen3 mobile phones may not be able to perform high-quality Genshin Impact for two consecutive hours.
The actual experience of the 7nm 9020 surpasses the 3nm A18 pro and equals Qualcomm's 4nm flagship chip 8gne 3. Netizens not only discourage and support it, but use benchmark scores to claim that the performance is poor!
This is either stupid or bad!
Don’t you know that running scores don’t represent actual performance?
I wonder if the bug of excessively high XX brand can be fixed overnight?
A typical example is that you can’t see good domestic products, you can’t see domestic progress, you can’t see domestic excellence!
Wang Yi didn't even know what to say.
"Perhaps this deep-rooted prejudice can only be burned away by experiencing a raging wildfire in the city."
Wang Yi sighed: "But it doesn't matter, these netizens can say whatever they want, we don't have to care."
"Waiting until the chip exhibition on the 3rd, it will naturally blind their eyes."
"Yes, after seeing so many of our powerful 4G chips at the trade fair, they realized what a joke it was that they were optimistic about Qualcomm!"
Zhu Changlin said with a smile that he was looking forward to the trade fair.
Wang Yi was very calm: "Just let nature take its course, whatever they say. Our goal is to kill Qualcomm!"
"Before the technology war breaks out, kill Qualcomm first. In this way, during the technology war, Lao Mi will have one less support and one less trump card!"
This is what Wang Yi pursues.
The simplest thing is, if Qualcomm collapses, what will Lao Mi use to fight the technology war? Fight the semiconductor war?
Even if there is an alternative, the losses will be heavy.
Just like drones ten years from now, they will be the first echelon in all aspects in China.
It doesn't matter if Lao Mi takes action at will and sanctions drones at will, and it's meaningless.
Because their drones are terrible, with average technology, but high cost.
They also thought about hammering our drones, but we counterattacked and imposed comprehensive restrictions, making it difficult for them to move forward.
Similarly, after killing Qualcomm, it will be difficult for Lao Mi to start a chip war or a semiconductor war.
I don't have any guy in hand.
Wang Yi changed the subject: "How is the development of the motherboard chipset going?"
"Still progressing, but there is a problem, that is, there are too many types of chips. For each model, a motherboard chipset must be developed, and two sets must be made, one for personal use and one for third parties..."
Zhu Changlin frowned and said, "This will increase the workload a lot."
"Two sets?" Wang Yi smiled: "You don't have to make two sets, just one set. For example, the Kunpeng 902 SOC motherboard chipset uses the design of xphone 3 and xphone 3plus as a public version. Let's use it ourselves first.
Then take it out, make appropriate modifications, treat it as a public motherboard chipset, and sell it to a third party."
"There is also the Unbounded 1st generation motherboard chipset, which is sold to third parties as the Kunpeng 500 motherboard chipset."
"Will this lead to... leakage..." Zhu Changlin was a little worried.
"No, it doesn't matter." Wang Yi waved his hand:
"Do you think it won't be leaked if we don't use it as a public version of the motherboard?"
"No, every time we release a mobile phone, all major friends will immediately buy it, disassemble it, and conduct reverse engineering for all-round research. No matter how much we keep it secret, the other party will know the motherboard design very well."
Zhu Changlin nodded: "Indeed, not only domestic brands are like this, but overseas brands are also like this. They are all disassembling our mobile phones and conducting reverse engineering research."
"So, it doesn't matter. Instead of being dismantled and reversed for free, we might as well take it out directly, make it into a public version of the motherboard, sell it to a third party, and still make a fortune without affecting ourselves."
"Won't it affect us?" Zhu Changlin was startled at first, and then suddenly realized: "The time difference!"
"That's right, it's just the time difference!" Wang Yixiao said:
"For example, xphone 3 and xphone 3plus were released in September. After the release, we launched the 902 SOC motherboard chipset service to third-party customers. Based on our motherboard set, third-party customers purchase all supporting chips and equipment of our motherboard set.
, to carry out the research and development of their flagship mobile phone. When it is developed and released, it will take at least three months, and it will take four months for it to be successfully launched, which is January next year."
"In four months, we have sold tens of millions of xphone 3 and xphone 3plus units, and they are not affected at all. Even the next generation of new phones is coming soon."
Zhu Changlin suddenly realized: "It is true that the impact is not big. Coupled with the monopoly advantage of the XOS system, the impact is even less. Will third-party brands accept such a solution?"
Wang Yi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "If you don't accept it, how long do you think it will take for a third-party brand to develop a flagship mobile phone like Xphone 3, with 20W fast charging, fingerprint pressing, and Kunpeng 902 SOC?"
"A big brand takes at least half a year to research and develop, and seven or eight months to launch! A small brand takes a year!"
"That's it!" Wang Yixiao said: "They develop their own research and development. It takes seven or eight months for a big brand to launch a new phone. It takes a year for a small brand. With our solution, a new phone can be launched in four or five months.
It saves worry and effort, and it can be launched in advance, so how can you refuse?"
Wang Yi knows that what these mobile phone manufacturers like most is to save trouble.
Forget about buying the motherboard design, I wish I could just buy the complete machine design for OEM!
Even several brands jointly purchased a set of public model designs for OEM.
Bottom line?
The bottom line in the mobile phone industry is that there is no bottom line!
The problem is that not just one brand does this, but most brands do it.
There is no way. For example, mid-to-low-end mobile phones cost a few hundred yuan or more than a thousand, and several models are released a year. If they are independently developed from beginning to end, and a full R&D team works hard for half a year to a year on each model, how much will it cost?
R&D team?
It can't even be burned.
So I look for companies such as Wingtech to buy public model designs, which saves trouble.
As for requiring all mobile phones to be independently developed and not designed using public models...
That can only be said to be too naive and completely unrealistic.
Even if this is achieved, the replacement speed of mid- to low-end mobile phones will be greatly reduced, and the prices will rise significantly. There is no way around it.
"According to this, the design of the female motherboard is indeed much simpler. We can just modify our past mobile phone motherboards and use them as male models. And major brands will not refuse. They will carry out other R&D designs based on the male motherboard models and make
Your own mobile phone can indeed greatly reduce the difficulty of research and development and greatly shorten the research and development time." Zhu Changlin said.
Wang Yi nodded: "This is our core competitiveness to kill Qualcomm!"
The 64-bit advantages and performance advantages of Kunpeng chips can overwhelm Qualcomm processors.
Tuning services can also crush Qualcomm processors.
But that alone is not enough!
Still can't beat Qualcomm.
Coupled with motherboard chipset design services, that's enough!
This will be the last straw for Qualcomm!
However, when selling chipset designs, restrictions must be made.
Wang Yi continued: "In this way, at the third conference, we will first display part of the motherboard chipset design and sell it to third-party brands."
"Then we can come up with a lot of motherboard sets." Zhu Changlin said with a smile:
"Kunpeng 902 motherboard chipset for xphone 3, xphone 3plus, xphone 2, Kunpeng 702 motherboard chipset for xphone 2pro, Kunpeng 700 motherboard chipset for xphone 1 pro, xphone
1’s Kunpeng 506 motherboard chipset, and the 1st generation Kunpeng 500 motherboard chipset of Unbounded Mobile Phones can be taken out directly! But some of them need to be upgraded to add fingerprint recognition!”
Wang Yi nodded: "That's okay. They are all mobile phones that have already been launched. There will be no impact if they are taken out. However, there are certain restrictions on the selling prices of flagship chips and sub-flagship chipsets."
"For example, the Kunpeng 902 SOC motherboard chipset of the Xphone 3 has a price limit of more than 3,000!"
"Kunpeng 706 SOC motherboard chipset design, limited to 1999 or above."
"The rest doesn't matter. Anyway, most of the old 3G flagship models will be discontinued next year."
"Okay, then I'll get a few sets as soon as possible and use them directly on No. 3!" Zhu Changlin said.
Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll bring out the motherboard chipset of Kunpeng 902, and the motherboard chipset of Kunpeng 706!"
"The chipset of Kunpeng 706 is also brought out?" Zhu Changlin was startled: "Chairman, the Unbounded note equipped with Kunpeng 706 has not been released yet. If you take it out directly, will it..."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "The sales of xphone 3 and xphone 3plus are so good that the release of Unbounded Note has been postponed to December. It happened to be the official announcement of the launch of 4G in China in December, and Unbounded Note, as a 4G mid-range mobile phone, took the opportunity to release it, giving a good start to the new year!
"
"The Kunpeng 706 flagship motherboard chipset is taken out in advance and sold to third-party brands. This can be regarded as our sincerity, allowing major friends to develop it as soon as possible and release the Kunpeng 706 flagship mobile phone as soon as possible next year! Unbounded note is positioned in the mid-range and is not afraid of competition."
Zhu Changlin understood what Wang Yi meant: "That's right, if it took Xingyi Technology half a year to sell all the motherboard sets and chips to third-party brands, the third-party brands would want to scold them, but they would not resolutely give up on Qualcomm.
Choose us.”
"Yes, that's it. After our new chips and new motherboard set business are successfully developed, we can sell them to third parties at the same time. In this way, we will go on the market two or three months earlier than the third parties. There are two or three
Months are enough for us to be ahead. And with our motherboard set, third-party brands can also shorten the development time by two or three months, greatly reducing the difficulty of research and development, so naturally there is no objection." Wang Yi said meaningfully.
This is also preparing for Plan B.
No one can predict what will happen in the future.
Xingyi mobile phones will continue to sell well in the future, so there is no problem, the sales volume of its own products will be enough.
But if you are really beaten to death and sales plummet, you have to prepare for a fallback and start Plan B-turn to OEM.
That's right, if the market is hit hard and sales plummet, so many mobile phone production lines and chip production lines cannot remain idle. They will have to quickly switch to OEM for third-party brands.
Today's chip sales, motherboard chipset design services, etc. are all preparing for this step.
Even if you don't use it, that's best.
If it really comes to this point, it can be considered a way out.
Wang Yi just needs to be well prepared and become an invincible Xiaoqiang!
No matter how difficult the future is, everything will eventually pass and the king will return!
At the same time, major mobile phone brands also received formal invitations, with complicated expressions.
Xingyi Semiconductor 3G, 4G chip exhibition on the 3rd, Qualcomm 4G chip exhibition on the 5th!
Such a tit-for-tat confrontation is so obvious that it almost forces major mobile phone manufacturers to choose sides.
In response to this, most of the CEOs of major mobile phone manufacturers directly decided to participate in both parties to see the strength of both parties before choosing an opportunity to place bets.
Anyone who can become an old director is a good person and naturally understands the meaning of balance.
Now Nvidia's mobile chips are going to collapse, leaving Qualcomm alone, and that's not going to work.
Once one company becomes dominant, it will only increase prices crazily. In the end, it will be the major mobile phone manufacturers that suffer the tragedy.
Any entrepreneur with brains can figure this out.
Therefore, they all decided to participate in Xingyi Semiconductor's exhibition. No matter what, they must support Xingyi Semiconductor so that Xingyi Semiconductor can survive and be able to compete with Qualcomm.
For example, a large number of brands purchased Kunpeng 902 this time. Part of the reason is that Kunpeng 902 is powerful enough and better compatible with Xingyi’s 20-watt fast charge. Part of the reason is to use Xingyi Technology to check Qualcomm and prevent one company from becoming dominant!
Major brands have set off to the Imperial Capital to participate in Xingyi Technology's chip exhibition.
On the morning of the 3rd, almost all domestic mobile phone manufacturers arrived, and many overseas manufacturers also arrived.
Not only Sony is here, but Sharp, LG, BlackBerry and other brands are also here.
It can be seen that these brands are also very interested in Xingyi Technology's chips and do not want to hang themselves on a Qualcomm tree.
It can be said that except for Apple and Samsung, other major brands are basically here.
As for Nokia, they are currently communicating with Microsoft about the sale. The negotiations have not been completed yet, so they can't worry about it for the time being.
Wang Yi doesn't care about Nokia. Once Microsoft acquires it, Nokia will fully switch to WP8 system and go downhill like crazy.
It will be finished within a few years. It will not be able to sell many products at all, and it will not be able to buy many chips.
To put it bluntly, Nokia in the future will not be as powerful as domestic manufacturers.
Soon, the exhibition began, and Wang Yi walked onto the stage:
"Thank you to domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers for participating in Xingyi Semiconductor's 3G and 4G chip exhibition."
"At this exhibition, four 3G chips have been launched, all of which integrate 3G baseband, with good performance and high cost performance!"
"It is true that Xia Guo will also start to develop 4G next year, but it is undeniable that 3G mobile phones will still account for the highest proportion next year, especially mid-to-low-end models."
"This is true not only of Xia Kingdom, but also of the whole world."
"In many countries such as Omega, 4G has been launched for many years, but 3G mobile phones still account for a large proportion!"
Everyone nodded, this was an indisputable fact.
"This shows that 4G is developing very quickly, but its popularity is very slow."
"To this end, we can make a conclusion that next summer the proportion of high-end 4G mobile phones in the Chinese market may reach 40%. However, the proportion of mid- to low-end 4G mobile phones is only 20%. The remaining 80% of mid-to-low-end mobile phones are
3G mobile phone!”
"It's very possible!" Rebus nodded repeatedly.
Lao Huang also said: "4G packages are expensive, and not many people will use them in the year after next, let alone next year. Especially in the mid-to-low end, 3G is more cost-effective."
The president of ZTE Mobile also nodded: "Yes, those who can afford high-priced 4G packages immediately will naturally have the ability to buy high-end mobile phones. Next year, mid-to-low-end mobile phones will mainly be 3G."
Wang Yi continued: "4G has been developed abroad for so many years. The situation may be better, but 3G mobile phones still account for more than 50%."
"Therefore, the mainstream chips for mid- to low-end mobile phones are still 3G chips. For this reason, we specially opened a 3G chip exhibition and reduced prices across the board!"
"Kunpeng 702 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order is 3 million, 2.40 yuan. Minimum order is 5 million, 230 yuan."
"Kunpeng 700 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order of 3 million, 2.10 yuan. Minimum order of 5 million, 200 yuan."
"Kunpeng 506 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order is 3 million, 1.80 yuan. Minimum order is 5 million, 170 yuan."
"Kunpeng 500 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order is 3 million, 1.50 yuan. Minimum order is 5 million, 140 yuan."
"Everyone knows that the performance of the above-mentioned chips is ahead of Qualcomm processors of the same grade not counting the 64-bit bonus. Once the Android 64-bit system is launched next year, with the 64-bit bonus, it will be able to beat Qualcomm chips across generations."
"For example, the Kunpeng 702 SOC surpasses the Snapdragon 600 of the same generation without the 64-bit bonus. With the 64-bit bonus, it crushes the Snapdragon 800!"
"Now all prices have been reduced and all price restrictions have been cancelled. Welcome to place orders."
Hearing this, all the major manufacturers were moved:
"Although it is a 3G chip, the price has been reduced a lot and the performance is strong enough!"
"Kunpeng 702, the minimum order price of 5 million yuan previously cost 260 yuan, but now it only costs 230 yuan, which is cheaper than the Snapdragon 600."
"And there is no price limit. If it is used to make a 2,000-grade mid-range mobile phone, it is absolutely fine."
"Definitely, it's still a 64-bit chip with upgrade potential. The price is lower than that of Snapdragon 600, and its performance will be comparable to that of Snapdragon 800 in the future!"
"There is no need for mid-range phones around 2,000 to buy the Kunpeng 902. The Kunpeng 702 is very good."
"The Kunpeng 500 is also good as a thousand-yuan phone. There is also the Kunpeng 506, which is a phone priced around 1,500 yuan and will definitely be a hot seller!"
"Next year, domestic 4G will just start. There is really no need to rush to 4G for mobile phones priced below 2,000. 3G is more cost-effective."
"With the same cost and the same selling price, 3G high performance is better than 4G low performance!"
"Yes, and the tuning provided by Xingyi Technology is not much better than our own tuning of Qualcomm chips? Hahaha."
Wang Yi continued: "In addition to 4 3G chips, we also provide 4 4G chips!"
"???"
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Old Huang grinned: "How many? Four 4G chips? Are you sure there is more than one?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, four 4G chips."
Rebus was also stunned: "Has it been done? Are you sure it's not a PPT?"
Wang Yixiao said: "It's already in mass production."
Silence!
The entire scene was silent!
Everyone thought that Xingyi Technology only had one 4G chip and thought that this trade fair would become a joke.
Chapter completed!
