"And the guy who just spoke, is he a black man arranged by Xingyi Technology?"
"It's too much, it's too much!"
"Now it's better. Tens of millions more people know that our iPhone 5 has a dual-core CPU, which affects sales!"
Cook sighed, looking lonely.
He also knows that dual-core CPUs are somewhat inferior, but there is no other way. Power consumption and heat must be controlled, and there must be some trade-offs.
The GPUs of the A6 and A6X are extremely powerful. If the CPU is also equipped with four cores, it will inevitably heat up too much, the temperature will be too high, the core will be locked and the frequency will be reduced, which will completely overturn it.
Then A6 and A6X become the second NVIDIA Tegra 3.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Apple chose a powerful GPU, so it had to give up the quad-core CPU and continue to use dual-core.
Therefore, during the promotion process, Apple only emphasized how powerful the A6 GPU was, and did not mention a word about the CPU which was a generation behind.
But I didn't expect that Wang Yi would expose it now!
Now, everyone knows that Apple A6 and A6X are dual-core, so they must be very disgusted with them.
The era of quad-core is coming, and even experienced Apple fans cannot accept the backward dual-core.
In the past, Apple was powerful and had sufficient faith bonus. Even if it was rubbish, fans would buy it.
But now, the Xingyi mobile phone has emerged. The xphone 1 beats the iPhone 4s, and the xphone 1pro continues to beat the iPhone 4s.
Even the newly released iPhone 5 is beaten by the xphone 2!
After being beaten and crushed one after another, Apple fell off the altar, and the faith of Apple fans collapsed.
Nowadays, dual-core CPUs are released, and the consequences can be imagined.
Even the barrage in the live broadcast room has changed:
"No dog wants a double-core apple."
“Xphone 2 and iPhone 5, if I hesitate for a moment, it’s because of my IQ!”
"I will return the iPhone 5 and place an order for the xphone 2."
"I have placed an order for xphone 2. Goodbye Apple. I have been a fan for three years. Never see you again!"
"The fourth generation iPad is also dual-core. It's gone, it's gone, it's Apple's garbage!"
Looking at the comments from his subordinates’ translators, Cook turned pale:
"It's over. In this wave, the sales of iPhone 5 and iPad 4 have begun to plummet."
"No, even Apple's stock price will plummet!"
Cook's expression changed drastically. He suddenly thought of the consequences, but was unable to do anything.
I just didn’t expect that this wave of spinnerets would come so quickly.
Previously, Cook used A6 and A6x GPUs to beat Nvidia Tegra 3, beat Xphone 1pro, and beat Xingyi Tablet X1 pro. At that time, Apple was very proud and Cook was very happy.
The results are now good. Wang Yi also took the CPU and completely beat the A6 and A6x, as well as the iPhone 5 and iPad 4th generation!
Cook felt uncomfortable when the boomerang hit him!
The vice president had no choice but to comfort him: "Chairman, it's okay, we still have the advantage of GPU and we can still win the game!"
"Yes, and a powerful GPU!" Cook nodded.
GPU is Apple’s biggest advantage!
At the press conference, Wang Yi smiled and said: "I hope Apple will work hard as soon as possible to catch up as soon as possible. It is enough to be one or two years behind in the quad-core era, but not three to five years behind."
"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter.
Cook's complexion was extremely pale.
This is not very harmful, but very insulting.
No, it is also very harmful.
At least with the reputation of dual-core, iPhone 5 and iPad 4 are not easy to sell.
Wang Yi continued: "Although the quad-core A9 is very good, its performance is not powerful enough. Let's continue to guess what our architecture is?"
"Quad-core A15!"
"No, the A15 heats up too much and can't handle 4 cores. I guess it's a dual-core A15 + dual-core A9!"
“Dual-core A15 + dual-core A9, it’s really possible!”
"The dual-core A15 + dual-core A9 are also ridiculously powerful. The power consumption of the 40nm process is too much."
"My guess is dual-core A15 + dual-core A7!"
"It's possible, the A15 can carry the big work, and the A7 can carry the small work, perfect!"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Everyone's guess is reasonable, but it's wrong."
"Ah, what kind of structure is that?"
Everyone was confused, they guessed everything they could, and could not think of any other structure at all.
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "A53 architecture!"
"..."
"???"
There was silence for a while, and many users were confused.
I’ve heard of A7, A9, and A15, but I’ve never heard of A53!
Isn’t this number too large?
But Qualcomm Chairman Jacob's expression changed slightly: "A53? They use the ARM V8 architecture!"
"No wonder the chairman of ARM came here in person. It turns out that Xingyi Semiconductor has become the first company to use the V8 architecture. It is natural for the chairman of ARM to stand up in person."
"I just don't know how the A53 performs. It would be interesting if it overturned. Haha."
Nvidia Chairman Lao Huang was also confused: "The first one to adopt the V8 architecture? Mr. Wang is so brave, don't overturn! After all, the new architecture is immature and can easily overturn."
The vice president even said with a smile: "The best thing is to roll over. Once it rolls over, Xingyi Technology will have to continue to purchase our Tegra 3!"
Wang Yi continued: "The architecture of our Kunpeng 700 is not a quad-core A9, nor an A15, nor even a V7 architecture, but a brand new ARM V8 architecture! Quad-core A53!"
"Yes, our Kunpeng 700 is the world's first V8 architecture chip."
“It is the world’s first 64-bit chip!”
"Currently, the chips of our competitors are all V7 architecture, only 32-bit, while our Kunpeng 700 is V8 architecture, 64-bit!"
"In the future, 64-bit systems and 64-bit APPs will become mainstream."
"Paired with a 64-bit processor, even with the same configuration, the performance will be even more terrifying. It will be improved by more than 40%-70%!"
"This is the V8 architecture, the advantage of 64-bit!"
"Wow!" The audience applauded again.
"Even if a 32-bit processor from a friend is upgraded to a 64-bit system, the 64-bit APP will not be able to take advantage of the 64-bit improvements. Because the chip is only 32-bit and cannot be upgraded."
"But Kunpeng 700 is different. This is a chip that is based on the present and looks to the future!"
Applause rang out again.
"Some people may say that 64-bit systems are still far away, very far away. The application of 64-bit will only happen in three or four years. The addition of 64-bit is meaningless."
Everyone nodded, thinking that the update would be very slow.
Wang Yi waved his hand: "This is not necessarily the case. In one year or two years, 64-bit systems and 64-bit APPs will be born."
"Yes, next year, or the year after next at the latest, the mobile phone industry will enter a new era of 64-bit!"
"Just like this year, the mobile phone industry entered the quad-core era quickly!"
"What?"
"Will we enter the 64-bit era next year?"
"No way? I didn't know what 32-bit was until this year!"
“How fast is the mobile phone industry upgrading?”
For a moment, everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
Even Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs and Nvidia Chairman Huang frowned.
Their progress is not that fast.
What kind of trouble does this guy Wang Yi want to do?
Force the entire industry into 64-bit?
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Yes, the mobile phone industry is updating so fast, so fast! It will only get faster and faster in the future, and it will take off soon."
"Like some companies, if you are still lingering in the dual-core era, you are finished. After all, soon, the eight-core era will come."
"When the eight-core era comes, if Apple still sticks to dual-core technology, it will be a bit disrespectful to users."
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter.
Cook's face turned dark again: "Faq, here we go again!"
"What's wrong with the dual-core? It's not like it can't be used!"
"If the CPU has 4 cores, wouldn't our GPU be stretched?"
"Who would have thought that the dual-core CPU would become our shortcoming, and that guy Wang Yi would insist on it!"
"It's difficult!"
The powerful GPUs of Apple's A6 and A6X are all based on cutting out the CPU.
There is no way, power consumption must be maintained well, you cannot have both.
If it is really designed as a quad-core CPU, Apple A6 will also overturn and become the second Nvidia Tegra 3.
NVIDIA Tegra 3 has a powerful CPU and a weak GPU, which is completely opposite to Apple.
On the contrary, Qualcomm APQ 8064 is powerful enough, with a powerful CPU and a powerful GPU. Thanks to the advanced 28nm process, power consumption and heat are well controlled.
But Apple currently doesn’t have the strength.
Never again.
It is for this reason that Apple did not introduce a quad-core CPU until the A10.
Unlike Apple, which is gloomy and gloomy, Samsung’s CEO is overjoyed:
"In two months, we at Samsung will release the world's first eight-core chip!"
"At that time, we can use Wang Yi's words to market it and go crazy for Apple dual-core. By the way, we can also go for quad-core such as Kunpeng 700 and Qualcomm APQ 8064! Hahaha."
"What about NVIDIA Tegra 3?" the subordinate asked.
The old Samsung executive said: "Nvidia Tegra 3 is not worthy, so I have to step on the next generation Tegra 4!"
“The chairman is wise!”
The old Samsung executive was in a good mood: "Wang Yi is a good man. He took the initiative to promote our Samsung eight-core processor. It's great, hahaha."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi changed the topic: "Of course, the eight cores I am talking about are real eight cores, not the pseudo eight cores of four cores + four cores!"
The smile on the Samsung boss's face stiffened: "..."
The subordinate's mouth also twitched: "..."
Everyone at the scene was confused: "What is the real eight cores and what is the pseudo eight cores?"
"They both have eight cores, what's the difference?"
Listening to everyone's confused words, Wang Yi explained: "The so-called true eight-core means that all eight cores can be fully activated, and the eight cores can work at the same time."
"As for the pseudo eight-core, although it has eight cores like the real eight-core, it is also a four-large-core + four small-core architecture, but only four cores can be turned on at most, and they work in turns, and all eight cores cannot be turned on.
.This is a pseudo eight-core, or dual quad-core. It is essentially a quad-core processor.” The barrage became lively:
"I see, if you can't turn on all eight cores and make it eight cores, why does it feel like you took off your pants and farted?"
"Isn't it? If they can't work together, then why not get eight cores? Four cores are enough."
"Dual quad-core is definitely the most stupid invention. Twice as many cores, but still has the performance of a quad-core. Isn't this a waste of resources?"
"No, there are advantages. Taking turns to work can at least slightly improve performance, right? When one group gets tired, they will leave and another group will come in. It's a shift system."
"Perhaps there is some performance improvement, but not much. The performance of the quad-core takes up the space of the eight-core, which greatly squeezes the space of other components and heat dissipation space. The power consumption is also high, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"That's right, I just took off my pants and farted."
“It’s impossible for a company to actually create such a stupid design, right?”
"Probably not. Which company would be so stupid?"
…
Looking at the translator's barrage, the corner of Samsung's chairman's mouth twitched: "..."
The president's face turned even green: "..."
"Xi Ba! I just thanked Wang Yi, and now I'm trying to destroy us!"
"What can I do?"
"Our next-generation dual-quad core has not been released yet, and it has become a joke."
"Is it still released?"
Hearing this, the chairman was also stunned: "!!!"
Is it still released?
Samsung's Orion 5 Octa is a new generation flagship chip that Samsung has invested heavily in and has high hopes for research and development.
Samsung is preparing to flex its muscles at next year’s CES with its Exynos 5 Octa, competing head-on with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia Tegra 4, and overwhelming them.
After all, Exynos 5 Octa has eight cores!
Four A15 + four A7, four A15 for big things, four A7 for small things, perfect coordination.
Unexpectedly, before it was released, Wang Yi said "pseudo eight cores" and was knocked back to its original shape.
It was also ridiculed by users that "Samsung's fake eight-core is just taking off its pants and farting, which is unnecessary."
It's really embarrassing.
After some hesitation, the chairman still said: "If we continue to publish, we have invested heavily in research and development, so we can't let it go in vain!"
"What if consumers don't buy it?" The president was a little worried.
But the chairman didn't care: "Don't worry, no matter how bad the pseudo-octa-core is, it's still dual-quad core. How can it be as bad as Apple's dual-core?"
The CEO's eyes lit up: "Yes, when the time comes, we will press the Apple Dual Core. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. Even if our Dual Quad Core takes off his pants and farts, it will be much better than the Apple Dual Core. Hahaha."
"That's right, we promote Apple's dual-core products for marketing purposes. If anyone complains about our dual-core products, we will promote Apple's dual-core products."
"Just say...at worst, we can borrow four of their cores!"
"Hahaha, this is too damaging."
"Also, even if the dual-quad-core chips don't sell well, it won't matter. Meizu will take over. In the middle of next year, we will sell the dual-quad-core chips to Meizu and let them make the MX3!"
"This is a good idea. If the dual-quad-core ones sell well, we will use them for ourselves. If they don't sell well, we will leave them to Meizu. If Meizu buys millions of them, we will never lose money."
Wang Yi never imagined that his casual words would trigger a chip war between Apple and Samsung in the near future...
The press conference continues:
"Perhaps, some people will say that the power of 64-bit chips can only be experienced after using 64-bit systems and applications next year."
"But what I want to say is that our Kunpeng 700 is not only extremely powerful in 64-bit, but also very powerful in the current 32-bit system."
"As for the CPU, Kunpeng 700 uses a V8 architecture, a quad-core A53, and a main frequency of 1.3G Hz, which is very powerful."
"How powerful is it?"
"2.4 times that of Apple A6."
"Wow!" The audience burst into applause.
Cook's face was completely dark: "!!!"
Apple A6 turned out to be the comparison unit!
It's so insulting.
Wang Yi changed the topic: "Sorry, compared with the dual-core A6, it's a bit bullying. Let's compare with a quad-core."
"Hahaha!" The scene burst into laughter again.
"..." The corner of Cook's mouth twitched, and he was so angry that he dropped the cup on the table: "Wang Yi, you are going too far!"
Wang Yi continued: "Let's use Tegra 3 of xphone 1pro for comparison. According to multiple dimensional tests, our Kunpeng 700 CPU is 1.2 times that of Nvidia Tegra 3!"
At the beginning, Kunpeng 700 had just been put into trial production, and the optimization was not in place. Compared with Nvidia Tegra 3, it only improved by about 5%.
Now that the optimization is in place and re-tested, it is 20% better than Tegra 3.
"Yes, the CPU is 20% more powerful than the quad-core Tegra 3!"
Applause rang out again. As Xingyi Semiconductor’s first chip, Kunpeng 700 surpassed Nvidia’s quad-core chip, which was considered a great success.
"As for the GPU part, Kunpeng 700 uses the extremely powerful Mali-T604 mp3, three-core GPU!"
“How powerful is the Mali-T604 mp3?”
Wang Yi paused: "It's even better than the GPU PowerVR P3 that the A6 is proud of!"
“65% more powerful than NVIDIA Tegra 3 GPU!”
"This is our first processor, with powerful performance!"
Instantly, there was a scream at the scene.
"It's amazing. The Kunpeng 700 CPU is 2.2 times that of the A6, and the GPU is also better than the A6. So it's a total blow to the A6! Apple is really rubbish."
“Not only is it faster than the A6, it’s also faster than the NVIDIA Tegra 3.”
"Yes, the Kunpeng 700 CPU is 1.2 times that of Tegra 3, and the GPU is 1.65 times that of Tegra 3!"
"Damn it, isn't it about to catch up with Qualcomm's new flagship APQ 8064?"
"Yes, it's only a little worse than APQ 8064."
"Generally speaking, the CPU and GPU of Kunpeng 700 are very powerful. The first processor to do this, Xingyi Technology is invincible!"
…
Seeing this scene, Cook looked a little ugly: "Wang Yi, this guy usually doesn't talk nonsense. It seems that Kunpeng 700 is really powerful. It beats both the CPU and GPU of our A6. It seems that the iPhone 5 can't compete."
Xingyi’s cell phone is on."
The vice president didn't care: "It's okay, we still have the A6x. Even if the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro is replaced with the Kunpeng 700, it is still no match for the A6X."
"Yes, the A6's GPU is PowerVR P3 triple-core, while the A6X's GPU is PowerVR P4 quad-core. The GPU performance is 25% higher than that of the A6, and the Kunpeng 700 is no match. Our fourth-generation iPads are still selling well." Cook thought.
Dading.
But Qualcomm Chairman Jacob couldn't sit still: "Kunpeng 700 has beaten A6 and Nvidia Tegra 3? What about Kunpeng 702 behind it? Will it also beat our Qualcomm APQ 8064?"
"If so, that would be troublesome!" The vice president's expression changed drastically, and he thought of many things in an instant:
"No wonder Xingyi Technology has not added an APQ 8064 processor in the past two months."
"You mean...their Kunpeng 702 has indeed surpassed our APQ 8064, so the inventory is almost exhausted and there are no additional orders!"
"It is very likely that they will use Kunpeng 702 to replace APQ 8064 in the future!" The vice president took a deep breath.
"This..." Jacob's face turned pale, and his whole body looked bad:
"If that's the case, it would be a big trouble. But it's unlikely, right? Even if it's Kunpeng 702, it's probably just Kunpeng 700 with a vest, it shouldn't exceed our APQ 8064, right?"
The vice president was not optimistic: "Even if it can't exceed it, it is enough. To say the least, let alone Kunpeng 702, even Kunpeng 700 can beat A6 and replace our APQ 8064. It has the best performance
Lower it a little."
"This... ugh!"
With a sigh, Jacob broke into a cold sweat.
What are you afraid of? What are you coming for?
Without Xingyi Technology’s super big order, how much quantity will Qualcomm’s APQ 8064 have to sell?
On the contrary, Lao Huang felt relaxed:
"Wang Dongweiwu, although Kunpeng 700 defeated Tegra 3, it also defeated Apple's A6. It's not just Nvidia that is embarrassed."
"Yes, haha, I hope Kunpeng 702 will be more powerful and defeat Qualcomm APQ 8064. That will be fun."
"Well said, our Nvidia Tegra 3 will be replaced by Kunpeng 700, and their Qualcomm APQ 8064 will also have to be replaced by Kunpeng 702. This is only fair. Haha."
Lao Huang smiled happily, and the situation was completely opened up.
Now, he doesn't care at all that Nvidia is being beaten and replaced. He only hopes that Qualcomm will be beaten and replaced too!
In a word, I can't be beaten alone, I have to be tortured, and everyone should be tortured together!
The press conference continued: "Do you think this is all the Kunpeng 700?"
"Otherwise?" Everyone was confused.
CPU and GPU have been released, what else is there?
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, the surprises continue!"
In an instant, everyone became interested.
But Jacob and Lao Huang became nervous.
Could it be that this guy still has a trump card?
Wang Yi explained: "Nowadays, inside a mobile phone, in addition to a mobile phone processor chip, there is also an external baseband chip."
"Take the iPhone 5 as an example. The A6 processor has 94 square millimeters and the external baseband has 60 square millimeters. So the total space required is 154 square millimeters and consumes more power."
"This is the same solution for all mobile phones today. The application chip is plugged into a baseband chip."
Everyone nodded.
"Then, if the baseband chip is integrated into the mobile phone chip like the CPU and GPU, it can share many modules with the mobile phone chip, thereby greatly reducing the baseband area and power consumption."
"For example, when the A6 baseband is integrated into the A6, the area occupied will be reduced from 60 square millimeters to about 8 square millimeters. In this way, the area of ​​the entire chip will also be reduced from 154 square millimeters to 102 square millimeters!"
"In this way, it takes up less space, consumes less power, and generates less heat. It can be said that there are no harms at all."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then why not do it?" Wang Yi changed the subject: "Because the technology can't do it! Integrating baseband is very difficult."
Everyone suddenly realized it and were a little disappointed.
If you have a technology that can't be done, just use a hammer!
Wang Yi changed the subject: "But our Kunpeng 700 is different, we have successfully integrated the baseband!"
"What!"
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar.
There are also question marks on the barrage.
Even Qualcomm Chairman Jacob's face changed drastically: "Integrated baseband? We are still developing it, and they have done it? Impossible!"
Lao Huang was also frightened: "Dr. Wang, you are so awesome, but you want to go to heaven!"
"Yes, Kunpeng 700 is the world's first SOC system-on-chip with integrated baseband!"
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Kunpeng 700 not only integrates a powerful CPU, a powerful GPU, and the latest generation V8 architecture, but also integrates the powerful Pterosaur 3000 full network baseband!"
"This greatly reduces the space occupied by the mobile phone, allowing the mobile phone to have more space to dissipate heat and make other modules."
"The integrated Wing Loong 3000 baseband is more stable, generates less heat, consumes less power, and has faster network speeds!"
“Starting from Kunpeng 700, SOC chips with integrated baseband will become the new mainstream!”
"Wow!" The audience burst into applause.
Lao Huang sighed again and again, with an extremely complicated expression: "Kunpeng 700 beats Nvidia Tegra 3, kicks Apple A6, and integrates a full network baseband that Qualcomm APQ 8064 cannot integrate. It is simply invincible!"
The chairman of Qualcomm is also frightened!
Chapter completed!
