N-M Chapter 385 Qilin 920: Qualcomm's world record seems a bit weak.
Chapter 385 Qilin 920: Qualcomm's world record seems a bit weak.
"That makes perfect sense. After all, Qualcomm isn't even worthy of being called a threat; it can't even compete with mid-range chips. Why should it expect Qualcomm to unleash its trump card?"
"It sounds arrogant, but it makes a lot of sense. After all, you don't even have the right to make me go all out, so what gives you the right to make demands of me?"
"Previously, it was said that the 9 series was Transsion's exclusive magic weapon, and that all the products sold in the food delivery industry were just for ripping people off. But now it seems... it's not really ripping people off, after all, their food delivery products are already comparable to Qualcomm's, and they have better power consumption."
"This is what happens when you have no rivals... We've been so bad lately. We used to always complain that MediaTek didn't deserve to be on the table, but now it feels like Qualcomm doesn't need to be on the table either."
"What are you pretending for? If you're so capable, show us your 14nm manufacturing capabilities. Who are you trying to be sarcastic about?"
"Use your stupid brain to think this through, upstairs. Transsion has already released its 14nm process technology; it's just that your master doesn't want to use it..."
"Isn't Apple's latest series using 14nm technology?"
"I don't care, I don't care. Harvesting韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting others) is harvesting韭菜, why make it sound so high-sounding? Isn't it just that your skills are lacking and you're afraid to release it?"
"It's not like you can just put it out there and expect it to sell. It's not at the set price, so it's impossible to sell. Don't you even have confidence in yourself?"
Just as the chat in the live stream was erupting in arguments, a collective sigh of disappointment rippled through the room as he left.
After all, some of them were hoping that Honor would bring the price of the Taishan 910 down to below 3000 yuan, but now... sigh...
At this moment, a foreign journalist in the audience said to the camera: "Transsion has once again confirmed that its high-end chips will not be sold to external parties. This closed strategy may limit its long-term competitiveness..."
But before he could finish speaking, Shen Fei spoke again:
"Of course, our S series and Rhythm series are still a bit pricey, although the 9 series is our exclusive competitive advantage and we won't open it up to other manufacturers..."
He paused for a moment, and Lazy Sheep's assistant became excited again, after all, there should be a "but" at this point.
As expected, Shen Fei's "but" arrived as scheduled.
The logos of two brands also appeared on the big screen...
"The red petal logo and the blue Honor logo light up simultaneously through the dark blue magnifying glass."
"The Huawei Mate 8 series and Honor 8 series will both be equipped with the Taishan 920 customized version."
Some versions will be equipped with the standard version of the Taishan 920, while the Honor series will be equipped with the 22nm Taishan 920 customized version.
The 22nm version will have some performance reduction, but power consumption will be further optimized compared to the base version.
Transsion does not operate as an isolated island in the mobile phone ecosystem; we have many partners.
With our chip systems and related quality, China will not lose in the semiconductor industry chain.
Loud applause erupted once again, and this time even many foreign journalists couldn't help but applaud.
They are all too aware of the significance of these three brands joining forces. In reality, there are only two, or, if you think about it deeply, only one and a half.
But this one brand alone has covered the entire battlefield, from high-end to mid-range, and from online to offline.
Qualcomm is not facing a competitor, but a network.
However, many Huawei fans in the live stream sighed, because the previous generation Mate 7 series could use the enhanced version of the 910 chip with a 14nm process, but this time they could only use the standard version...
This made them feel a little unhappy.
But then a figure walked up from the side of the stage.
Yu Dazui, some new viewers in the live stream were a little curious: what signal does it send that the CEO of Huawei appeared at the Transsion press conference?
Could it be that the two companies are about to make a big move?
But longtime fans shattered their illusions, after all, Transsion owns 50% of Huawei's terminal division, plus the corresponding supply chain...
Overall, Yu Dazui is more like a laborer, while Chuanyin is the one who reaps the rewards.
This inside story made many viewers in the live stream sigh. They thought there was some inside story, but... that's how it turned out.
At the press conference, Yu Dazui walked to the center of the stage and shook hands with Shen Fei.
"It is a great honor for Mr. Shen to be able to attend this press conference."
Shen Fei patted him on the shoulder, then walked aside and said, "Chinese chips and Chinese mobile phones are going global together. This is what Transsion and Huawei have been doing all along."
However, after saying that, Shen Fei suddenly made another joke: "When Lao Yu introduces the Kirin 920 later, he must pay attention to his tone and word choice."
Be careful, they might deduct your salary!
The moment the camera was taken, a burst of laughter erupted. After all, with the help of voice transmission technology in the past two years, both Yu Dazui and Zhao Ming were giving it their all at press conferences, often using interjections like…
This results in some viewers finding it enjoyable, while others find it somewhat unpleasant.
"Today is the launch event for the Kirin chip. Such an important day, of course..."
At this point, he quickly glanced at the teleprompter behind him to confirm...
This hilarious scene had many viewers in the live stream laughing hysterically.
Shen Fei: Lao Yu, cut down on the "Holy crap" today, or you'll lose your salary.
"Old Yu: Received, today's focus is on elegance! (The next second, holy crap, this performance!)"
"The person upstairs is wrong, it should be 'my mom' too."
"Mr. Shen, is this some kind of 'interjection monitor' installed on Mr. Yu?"
"Old Yu: Today is the launch event for the Kirin, such an important day, of course... (frantically glancing at the teleprompter)"
"Let me think about it... let me think about it some more..."
However, after letting the audience tease him for a while, Yu Dazui picked up the microphone.
"Today, on this important day, on behalf of HiSilicon Semiconductor, I announce the simultaneous release of the Kirin 920."
A rendering of the Kirin 920 appeared on the big screen. It looked almost identical to the Kirin 920, except that the logo had been changed to Huawei's Kirin logo.
The color scheme has also changed from Transsion's gold to Huawei's red, and the logo has been changed to Huawei's Qilin logo.
This led many viewers in the live stream to wonder if this was a modified version of Taishan 920.
"Our Kirin 920 represents a significant improvement over the previous generation 910."
Sure enough, Yu Dazui forgot his lines after only a few sentences, and then frantically looked at the teleprompter.
"Ah, this... we customized it based on the Taishan architecture... benchmark score... 79000 points, slightly lower than Taishan 920."
However, its power consumption is 5% lower than that of the Taishan 920.
Truly low power consumption, high performance...
A loud round of applause erupted from the audience, and Yu Dazui paused for a moment before glancing at the teleprompter on stage.
"This chip will be used in the Mate 8 series, and we have surpassed Qualcomm."
At this moment, the staff backstage also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lao Yu did not use any interjections, otherwise they would have had their wages deducted as well.
