Zhou Zhen seems that only if he owns the core technology, building his company into a brand recognized by everyone is the most true path.

As for who Leica co-brands with, Zhou Zhen doesn’t care.

However, considering that Honor has inherited the will of Juchang, Zhou Zhen decided to leave the Leica co-branding matter to Honor.

After all, Honor now really needs to rely on certain factors of Juchang to completely swallow up the market share that originally belonged to Juchang as soon as possible.

The dinner finally ended with both the guest and the host enjoying themselves. Of course, Zhou Zhen also began to think about the second stage of the development of his company's system.

It's May, and although all mobile phone manufacturers have not released any new products, it is obvious that all manufacturers are preparing for the upcoming June 18th.

In May, Gaotong officially announced its new flagship processor chips and mid-range processor chips.

This year's performance of Huolong 888 has indeed made most netizens dissatisfied.

At the same time, no other model is willing to carry the Fire Dragon 780g, a mid-range processor chip, after the release of the Mi Phone 11 Youth Edition.

It can be said that this year's Yaotong processor chips have continuously overturned in the high-end and mid-range markets, and the reputation that Yaotong has built up over the past few years has begun to slowly collapse.

Even the MediaTek processor chips released this year can completely surpass JT in terms of performance and user experience.

This also makes Gaotong somewhat unacceptable.

After all, when Jiaotong is rampant in the entire mobile phone market, MediaTek can only play splash in the mid-to-low-end market.

The current situation is not very favorable for Gaotong.

So Fire Dragon 888 and Fire Dragon 778g came out.

Considering that Sansang's 5nm process technology has overturned, this time the Fire Dragon 888 has spent a lot of money to return to TSMC's 5nm process technology.

At the same time, mid-range processor chips have also switched from Sansan's 5nm process technology to TSMC's 6nm process technology.

There are not many changes in the core architecture of the processor chip. The only thing that has changed is that the main frequency of the Fire Dragon 888 has reached the 3.05ghz level.

"Is Gaotong the prodigal son suddenly turning back?"

Zhou Zhen was stunned for a moment after receiving the news that Jiaotong had launched a new processor chip.

Zhou Zhen did not find it strange that the Fire Dragon 778g processor chip appeared. Now in the original history, this processor chip also appeared.

What Zhou Zhen didn't expect was that Huolong 888 changed directly from the original Sansang 5nm manufacturing process to TSMC's 5nm manufacturing process.

This was something Zhou Zhen didn't expect. To be honest, Gaotong had always insisted on using Sansang's craftsmanship during its original historical development.

After all, TSMC’s foundry costs are almost 30% more expensive than Sansang’s.

Considering that it is already invincible in the field of chips in the entire Android camp, in order to save corresponding costs, Jiaotong naturally chose the cheaper Sansan process first.

This poor attitude also makes most domestic manufacturers somewhat helpless.

After all, in the entire market, besides being able to use Fire Dragon's Android flagship chip, do domestic manufacturers have other options?

But thinking about it carefully, Zhou Zhen feels that it is a very reasonable performance for Gaotong to change the foundry manufacturer of Fire Dragon 888 to TSMC this time.

Historically, Fire Dragon has been at the top of the charts for two consecutive years. It was not until MediaTek launched the Dimensity 9000 that can compete with the Fire Dragon 8gen1 in terms of overall performance, and the Dimensity 8100 that completely beats all the current non-flagship chips of the Fire Dragon that Panasonic panicked.

Even after seeing various manufacturers using MediaTek chips in high-end flagships, this made Jiaotong feel tremendous pressure.

In order to retain the position of its own chips in the high-end flagship market, Jietong had to choose to re-use TSMC's process technology for foundry manufacturing.

Of course, with the help of Yuzhen Semiconductor, this year's MediaTek processor chips have grown by leaps and bounds.

Although Dimensity 2000 is slightly inferior to Fire Dragon 888 in terms of performance, its overall experience is completely better than Fire Dragon 888.

More importantly, although this chip is essentially a flagship chip, in terms of pricing, it is positioned as a sub-flagship chip. In terms of corresponding cost, it is more than 200 yuan cheaper than the Fire Dragon 888 chip.

And this chip can be said to be stuck between the Fire Dragon 888 and Fire Dragon 870 processor chips. The two chips are directly stuck and cannot move at all.

After all, the overall experience of the Dimensity 2000 processor chip is basically better than that of the Fire Dragon 888. Even compared to the Fire Dragon 870 that came to the rescue, its performance and power consumption also have certain advantages.

With the appearance of Honor 40pro with Dimensity 2100, a chip that truly surpasses the Fire Dragon 888 in terms of performance, the position of the Fire Dragon 888 has become even more embarrassing.

Under this situation, if Gaotong does not choose to make corresponding changes, I am afraid that MediaTek will really be suppressed in the domestic flagship market.

In the data of the Fire Dragon 888 processor chip released by Jiaotong, everyone was surprised to find that the running score of this processor can reach 890,000 points.

The overall performance is improved by 10% compared to the Fire Dragon 888.

However, after testing on an engineering machine, the overall power consumption performance of this processor chip was reduced by 22% compared to the previous generation Fire Dragon 888.

The overall energy consumption ratio even increased by 29%.

This series of data can show that the performance and power consumption of the Fire Dragon 888 are significantly better than that of the Fire Dragon 888 after using TSMC's foundry.

Even in the testing of engineering machines, everyone found that this chip not only overclocked the main core of the CPU, but also increased the frequency of the GPU to 788mhz.

Compared with the previous generation, the frequency of the GPU has been increased by 106mhz, which can be regarded as a small overclocking.

After corresponding overclocking processing on both the CPU and GPU, the power consumption of Fire Dragon 888 has not only not improved but also decreased compared to the previous generation Fire Dragon 888.

This performance has also made countless netizens lament that the real dragon master in the entire technology industry is not the various mobile phone manufacturers, but TSMC!

Of course, from this aspect we can clearly see the gap between the two chip foundries, Sansang and TSMC.

Some netizens even ridiculed that the current 5nm process technology of Sansang OEM is only at the level of TSMC's 6.5nm process technology.

There is indeed a certain gap between Sansang and TSMC in terms of overall technical strength. This operation of Jietong has directly put the current gap in front of everyone's eyes.

It hurts like crazy!

At this time, Sansang only felt that his face hurt a little.

Jiaotong, this is to slap Sansang’s face hard in front of the entire global netizens.

However, in the face of today's slap in the face, Sansang said that Sansang will independently develop a new 4nm process Orion chip and use it in the future international version of the S22 mobile phone.

Obviously Sansang is not convinced!

On the one hand, it said that it would be the first to launch a 4nm processor chip with its own process, and would also use its own company-designed chips.

At the same time, it also expresses its protest against Jiaotong. The most direct way is to reduce the use of Fire Dragon processor chips in the international versions of its own products.

Apparently Sansang also has his own little temper.

But this little temper could not make Sansang Gan and Gaotong completely break up.

After all, there is still a certain degree of cooperation between the two companies. This cooperation is not only cooperation in related industries, but also mutual discussions in technology.

Sansang's actions this time were nothing more than a warning to Gaotong and to save his swollen face.

And this time after the launch of Gaotong Huolong 888, major domestic manufacturers were ecstatic.

After all, this year’s Fire Dragon 888 has caused a lot of harm to mobile phones. Many consumers will directly choose to give up the corresponding products after seeing the Fire Dragon 888.

Even various manufacturers are beginning to prepare for corresponding "core" replacement plans in the second half of the year.

"Dami will launch the latest generation of Fire Dragon 888 in mid-July this year, so stay tuned!"

Of course, among the major domestic manufacturers, the one that likes to grab the first launch is naturally Rice Company. Even now, Rice Company has obtained part of the batch of Fire Dragon 888 processor chips.

With the announcement from Rice Company, other mobile phone brands have also stated that they will use Fire Dragon 888 in their next products.

Obviously, Huolong still has a very large influence among domestic manufacturers, especially new flagship chips that often attract the support of major manufacturers.

"It's a bit dangerous!"

Zhou Zhen has been paying attention to the current development of the entire mobile phone industry, and became nervous after receiving the current new news.

Just in mid-May of this year, Blue Factory and Rice Company spent heavily to purchase r5 material screens, and now there is the Fire Dragon 888, a new TSMC process.

This is obviously preparation for the release of a product that can truly hit the high end in the second half of the year.

Originally, Zhou Zhen wanted to watch the Fire Dragon continue to perform badly so that his soft-pai could secure its position as a high-end flagship.

But now it seems that all the current major mobile phone manufacturers have focused their attention on the position of FlexPai phones, and they may even drag FlexPai into the water as long as they are ruthless.

The biggest selling points of the third generation of FlexPai mobile phones are the R5 OLED screen and Tianxuan processor chip.

Although the Flexpai 3pro is not afraid of the current high-end flagship phones at all, the 5,999 Flexpai 3 is quite a threat.

If rice changes the 11ultra to an R5 material screen and Fire Dragon 888, and then uses 120w charging, I am afraid that all the advantages of the SoftPai 3 will be diminished.

"I originally thought that the 3rd generation SoftPai mobile phone series could dominate the entire Android market for a year and a half. It seems that we need to make additional preparations!"

"By the way, bring Glory over too. After all, Glory wants to hit the high-end, and a father should always help the other party achieve his goals, right?"

A smile appeared on Zhou Zhen's face. Obviously, in his opinion, the entire Android camp will usher in a bloody storm in the second half of this year.
Chapter completed!
