Chapter 481 Xiaomi wants to buy Kunpeng 702 chip? (Please vote for me)
"Xingyi Technology's 64-bit XOS system has been launched and can be logged into the mobile phone at any time. Apple's 64-bit system will be fully launched in September."
"We are continuing to develop the 32-bit Android 4.3, which will be released in the second half of the year. There will be a 32-bit Android 4.4 later, which will not be released until the end of the year. What's the point?"
An executive spoke first, and then someone stood up to support:
"It's too far behind and it's really meaningless. I suggest giving up the development of 32-bit Android 4.3 and Android 4.4 and turning to the development of 64-bit Android 5.0."
"I support it too."
But some people object:
"No, Android 5.0 hasn't started yet. Even if everyone goes to develop 5.0, it won't be ready in a short time!"
"That is, Android 5.0 is 64-bit, so it needs to be developed all over again. The workload is huge, and it may take a year and a half at the earliest. How can we not not update a single version in the next year and a half?"
"It is better not to update if you lag behind in updating. The best way is to concentrate on making 64-bit."
"What a fart! If we don't update it for a year and a half, the app vendors will think that we have outgrown Android and will abandon Android directly."
"That is, if application vendors and mobile phone manufacturers give up Android and choose the XOS system, it will be our tragedy!"
"Continuing to launch 32-bit Android 4.3 and Android 4.4 will show that we have no strength and are far behind Xingyi Technology and Apple."
…
Everyone said something to each other, but they didn't give in to each other.
Eric, the chairman of Google, had a headache and felt like his brain was going to explode:
"alright!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
After a roar, both sides became quiet.
Eric took a deep breath: "The opinions you both expressed are reasonable."
"The development of 64-bit Android 5.0 must be accelerated, but in the next year and a half, we will also have a new Android version."
"In this way, 20% of the people will be left to continue to develop Android 4.3, which will be released in July. At the same time, Android 4.4 in December will be abandoned. The remaining 80% of the people will all develop Android 5.0 and strive to launch it in March next year!"
"this……"
For a moment, the whole room became quiet.
"What? Is there a problem?" Eric said coldly.
"Chairman, take away 80% of the people at once, leaving only 20% to continue developing Android 4.3, which will not be released in July."
“Then October!”
"yes!"
"Chairman, even if 80% of the manpower is allocated to develop Android 5.0, it won't be ready by March next year. The preview version will have to be ready by the middle of next year at the earliest, and it will be officially launched by the end of next year."
"What!" Eric was furious, the rhythm was too slow.
Android 5.0 is officially launched, but it will take two years!
Too slow.
"Trash! The XOS system of Xingyi Technology has not been used for that long, right?" Eric said in a deep voice.
The subordinates were helpless: "Chairman, it is easier to start from scratch for Xingyi Technology's XOS system. We only need to develop the 64-bit version. Our Android 5.0 not only needs to re-develop the 64-bit version, but also has to be compatible with the 32-bit version. To work
The volume is much larger than that of the XOS system."
"More importantly, the XOS system has just started and has simple functions. It is mainly used in the Xiaguo market. However, our current Android 4.2 system is already very complicated and has many more functions than the XOS system. It also has to cater to the global market, which is very cumbersome.
, it’s several times more difficult than the XOS system!”
Eric understands, the tail is too big to fall off!
Today’s Android is too big to lose its tail!
The XOS system starts from the ground up and goes into battle lightly, as long as it meets the needs of Xia users, it's very simple.
The Android 5.0 system must be 64-bit and 32-bit compatible. It must also perfectly adapt all the functions of the current Android 4.2 version to the 5.0 version. It must also meet the different needs of different countries and regions around the world...
This is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
It is precisely because of this that Apple released the 64-bit IOS 7 in September 2013.
Android only released a preview version in July 2014, which is the PPT version. It was not until November that Android 5.0 was officially released!
Subsequently, after the release of Hongmeng distributed operating system, in addition to being used for mobile phones and tablets, it can also be used for TVs, cars, PCs, smart homes, wearable devices, and even servers.
But Android is not good, it is far behind. It also needs a virtual machine to run the program, and the performance is far behind.
Google knows that no matter how much it updates or upgrades, Android will become useless and cannot keep up with the performance of Hongmeng.
The bottom layer and technology of Android in the past few years have become obsolete after a few years of use. After 2020, they are somewhat out of step with the times.
As a result, Google also began to develop a new generation of system to replace Android, which is Fuchsia OS!
Compared with Android, Fuchsia OS is a huge improvement. The underlying architecture, technology, etc. are all epoch-making upgrades.
But unfortunately, Android cannot lose its tail because there are too many users.
Fuchsia OS needs to build an ecosystem from scratch and adapt it from scratch, just like pure-blood Hongmeng.
That's it.
App developers don’t want to increase costs so much, and major brands don’t want to pay for it either.
After all, everyone is proficient in playing the Android system, and no one is willing to build a new Fuchsia OS system, especially since the ecology of Fuchsia OS will not be affected.
Therefore, Fuchsia OS failed before it succeeded.
Five or six years after its launch, Google was left to its own devices and no one paid any attention to it.
None of them are developing as well as Hongmeng, and they are not as promising as Hongmeng.
The reason is that Android cannot lose its tail, and Fuchsia OS is still alive and dead.
It is conceivable that by around 2030, the Hongmeng ecosystem will be mature and in full swing.
And Android still uses the kernel and underlying technology from more than 20 years ago, so it can only be like Symbian, too backward and completely ruined.
This is exactly the same as Nokia in the past.
They all died because the tail was too big to fall off!
The emergence of the XOS system, which adopts brand-new technology, epoch-making underlying architecture and concepts, will only exacerbate the demise of Android.
But unfortunately, Eric cannot see this at the moment, and neither can Google.
It's just a limited vision.
They think that the XOS system is only more powerful than Android in 64-bit.
But I don’t know that 64-bit is only one aspect.
In fact, XOS's core, architecture, underlying technology, concepts, etc., all surpass Android by more than ten years.
In essence, the core technologies of XOS are products of the same era as Android's next-generation Fuchsia OS.
But Eric couldn't understand it, and still only paid attention to the 64-bit:
"Okay, then let's try our best to move forward, try our best to reach the third quarter of next year."
"yes!"
"Android 4.3 will continue to be released in September this year, and Android 5.0 will be released in the third quarter of next year! Alas!"
Eric sighed, feeling weak.
He was very angry. 32-bit was working well, but there was something wrong with Xingyi Technology. It had to go to 64-bit, and it was 60% better than Android!
If there is only one Xingyi Technology, that's it. XOS is a one-man show and its impact will be limited.
Android, Apple, and Microsoft are all following suit and maintaining 32-bit, so everyone is lagging behind, and that’s okay.
As a result, Apple turned around and stabbed it in the back. This year it will release IOS 7, which is also 64-bit!
Now Google is embarrassed.
Xingyi Technology and Apple are both 64-bit, and Android is still 32-bit, so that will definitely not work.
As a result, Android, which has developed rapidly, is completely passive.
In this regard, Qualcomm is gloating!
I just feel that system issues will not affect their chips.
Unexpectedly, the impact of this incident has only just begun.
HTC headquarters.
The marketing director approached Wang Hong with a sullen face:
"Chairman, the 64-bit incident has caused a lot of noise. Now many users have a soft spot for 64-bit processors, and even bluntly say that they only buy 64-bit processors when buying mobile phones, which has caused the sales of our HTC mobile phones to decline again."
"Only buy 64-bit processors?" Wang Hong became interested.
"Yes, they say that 32-bit processors are inherently flawed. Even if you upgrade to a 64-bit system, you will not be able to enjoy the benefits of 64-bit. You must have 32-bit..."
Wang Hong smiled: "This is great."
"???" The subordinate was confused: "Chairman, our HTC mobile phones all have 32-bit processors and they can't be sold. How come they are still so good?"
Wang Hong smiled slightly: "It's not just our HTC mobile phones with 32-bit processors that can't be sold, but all brands of mobile phones with 32-bit processors. But the problem is, other brands don't have 64-bit phones.
HTC has the processor!"
The marketing director's eyes lit up: "Yes, we bought 6 million Kunpeng 702 processors, and the new processors are being replaced and adapted. We can deliver 2 million units this month. Plus production and distribution, the next one
It will be released in March and will be available in early April!”
"That's right! By then, other brands of mobile phones will be slow to sell, and our HTC will be able to sell a lot of products with its 64-bit processor!"
Wang Hong said with a smile: "As for the 32-bit products that cannot be sold at the moment, it doesn't matter. Stop production, reduce prices, and clear inventory. When the Kunpeng 702 processor is in place, we will go all out to produce new 64-bit machines."
"yes!"
"By the way, let's release the news and warm up the situation."
"Okay." The marketing director responded, and then changed the topic: "Then Qualcomm's next generation Snapdragon 800, do we still order it?"
"Snapdragon 800?" Wang Hong smiled: "It's a waste to order a 32-bit processor. It's inherently disabled. Not to mention compared with the next generation of Xingyi Technology, even if compared with the previous generation Kunpeng 702 of Xingyi Technology, it's far behind.
Already."
"Yes, Kunpeng 702 is 64-bit. Counting the 64-bit bonus of the XOS system, it surpasses the Snapdragon 800 by more than 30%!"
Wang Hong nodded: "So, cancel all orders for Snapdragon 800 and just add Kunpeng 702 later. The price is more affordable and there is a 64-bit bonus. How great."
"That's right." The subordinate changed the subject and sighed:
"Alas, it's just a pity that Google's 64-bit system is still far away. Our new HTC flagship has a 64-bit processor, but it can't take advantage of the 64-bit bonus. It would be great if it could be equipped with the XOS system."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
"Equipped with 64-bit XOS system..." Wang Hong couldn't help but fall into deep thought:
"If this is true, then Kunpeng 702 will increase by 60%, not only surpassing the Snapdragon 800, but even the next generation Snapdragon 805 will be able to compete with it."
"But this is probably not easy, and the ecosystem of the XOS system is still in its infancy, so take your time."
Wang Hong sighed and made up her mind to establish a good relationship in advance and provide more support for the XOS system.
If it can be done, HTC can be equipped with the XOS system and directly explode the 64-bit bonus.
By then, it will not be much worse than Apple's IOS 7.
If we count on Android... we won't be able to count on it in the short term, and it won't be until the year after next at the earliest.
She knows very well that Android is still developing the 32-bit Android 4.3!
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of XOS, Android would have no intention of going 64-bit.
After all, according to the normal progress of Android, Android 4.3 will be released in July, and Android 4.4 will be released at the end of the year... As for the 64-bit Android 5.0, we will talk about it at the end of next year...
In other words, HTC will have to wait for Android to take advantage of 64-bit in 2015.
But wait for XOS, maybe there will be hope this year!
Especially Xiaguo Market.
As for overseas, you still need Google services, Google Family Bucket.
Soon, two pieces of news shocked the entire Internet:
[64-bit is the future, HTC’s new flagship will be equipped with the 64-bit processor Kunpeng 702 SOC and is ready to go!]
[HTC Chairman Wang Hong is very optimistic about the future of the XOS system and Xingyi Technology’s ability to lead the 64-bit mobile operating system!]
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
These two pieces of news instantly caused an uproar:
"What? HTC's new flagship actually uses Kunpeng 702, becoming the first third-party brand to use Kunpeng processor!"
"This is a good thing. The future is the era of 64-bit, and Snapdragon 800 is useless. Once it reaches 64-bit, Snapdragon 800 will not be able to beat the Kunpeng 702 with 64-bit bonus!"
"That's right, the XOS system has been improved by 60%, and Kunpeng 702 can beat two generations of one generation! It will beat Qualcomm's same generation Snapdragon 600, and it will beat Qualcomm's next generation Snapdragon 800. It doesn't matter if you don't accept it."
“What’s the concept of a 60% improvement in more than two generations? Not to mention Qualcomm 800, even Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 805 can beat it!”
"Damn it, Kunpeng 702+64-bit system can run three generations from one generation? No wonder HTC gave up on Snapdragon 800 and chose Kunpeng 702!"
"One generation has abused three generations. Kunpeng 702 is too powerful. If I buy a mobile phone in the future, I will buy Kunpeng 702 mobile phone."
"HTC is optimistic about the XOS system. By the way, will the XOS system be available on mobile phones, and will it be used by other brands like Android?"
"Who knows, anyway, I just bought an xphone 2, and its performance is unbeatable now. Once I upgrade the XOS system, it will be invincible for three generations, and it will be number one next year!"
"Xphone 2 wants to upgrade to XOS system? Is it true or false?"
"The possibility is very high. My cousin from a major manufacturer said that many major manufacturers are adapting."
"That's great, looking forward to it. Looking forward to xphone 2 upgrading to XOS."
"No matter what, if you buy a mobile phone from now on, you will have to buy a 64-bit processor!"
"That's right, 64-bit processors have 40%-60% room for growth, but 32-bit processors are just a stretch."
“As a long-time HTC fan, I’m looking forward to HTC’s new flagship Kunpeng 702!”
Seeing this scene, Wang Hong was in a good mood:
"There are still fans of HTC, and the public's expectations for the new 64-bit phone are also very high. The adaptation work for the new Kunpeng 702 phone has been fully accelerated, and we strive to release it in early March and launch it in early April... No, we strive to release it in early March.
It will be fully launched by the end of March!”
During this period, HTC was starving to death and urgently needed a turnaround.
"Yes!" the subordinate responded quickly.
Meizu headquarters.
"Old Huang, HTC has officially announced the Kunpeng 702, should we also make an announcement?" Lao Bai couldn't help but ask.
I thought that the Kunpeng 702 would only be invincible for nine months, and that the Meizu MX3 would dominate for five months even if it were launched in June. It would not be until the large-scale launch of the Snapdragon 800 that it would become the second best.
But now, as soon as XOS comes out, with the 64-bit bonus, Kunpeng 702 beats Qualcomm 800 in seconds!
Even next year’s next-generation Snapdragon 805 can compete.
Then Kunpeng 702's invincibility time is not nine months, but one year and nine months, or even more than two years.
Meizu feels extremely lucky!
Fortunately, I gave up Samsung's dual-quad-core retarded processor and chose Kunpeng 702. Otherwise, how could I get the glory of MX3?
Lao Huang grinned: "Let's make it official. It is officially announced that MX3 will be equipped with Kunpeng 702, hitting the high end!"
Lao Huang thought clearly. MX2 was just released at the end of January and will be fully launched soon. The price is 1999 and it is positioned as a mid-range mobile phone.
The MX3 will be launched in June, equipped with Kunpeng 702, 64-bit processor, and the price will also increase, at least to 3000+!
These days, except for Xingyi Technology, other domestic mobile phones can sell for more than 3,000, which are considered high-end domestic mobile phones.
Even Huawei couldn't sell it at the previous price of 2999, so it had to be reduced to 2299, and then 1999.
As for Xiaomi, it dropped to 1799, 1599 in 1999...
"Okay, then let's prepare for both. MX2 starts at 1999, and MX3 starts at 3499!" Lao Bai suggested.
"Look at HTC's price. If they sell it for more than 4,500, our MX3 will sell for... 3,999!" Lao Huang said solemnly.
Who hasn’t had a high-end dream yet?
Previously, Meizu MX started at 2999, but was later pulled back because of Xiaomi's 1999 and MX2.
Now we finally have Kunpeng 702, the most powerful chip, and the only 64-bit flagship chip. With such a good opportunity, it would be a waste of resources not to go high-end.
More importantly, there are contract restrictions!
According to Wang Yi's requirements, Kunpeng 702, as a flagship chip, cannot be used in low-end mobile phones and cannot be sold cheaply.
So MX3 3999!
HTC estimates 5000+!
In this way, it will not affect the sales of xphone 2.
Both are Kunpeng 702 SOC. If the xphone 2 sells for 5,000+, HTC’s new flagship sells for 5,000+, but the MX3 sells for 1,999!
Isn't this causing trouble?
Even if Wang Yi doesn't agree, he will definitely ban Meizu immediately, cut off supply to Meizu, and also claim huge liquidated damages.
This is all written in the agreement!
Soon, Meizu also issued a statement:
[Meizu MX2 carries the Pterosaur 3000 baseband, true full network communication, officially launched in 1999!]
[Meizu MX3 will be equipped with the 64-bit Kunpeng 702 SOC, ushering in a new era of 64-bit and impacting high-end flagships!]
Now, not only consumers are confused, but many mobile phone brands are also confused.
Xiaomi headquarters.
The corner of Rebus' mouth twitched: "HTC is going to launch Kunpeng 702 X3 and it will also be equipped with Kunpeng 702 SOC, and it will also hit the high-end! It's a mess!"
Lao Li was also confused: "When did the two of them reach an agreement, and they both joined the Xingyi Semiconductor camp!"
"It's just HTC. It's a mix of Qualcomm and Nvidia chips. Now it's normal to purchase Kunpeng 702."
"But isn't Meizu an old customer of Samsung? It's also the only third-party customer. Why is it that it wants to give up Samsung and switch to Xingyi Technology?"
Rebus sighed: "Normally, the Samsung Orion 4412 quad-core is not excellent. Not to mention compared with the Kunpeng 702 of the same generation, it is even inferior to the Kunpeng 700."
"Samsung's next-generation dual-quad core has become synonymous with mental retardation and is not as good as the 64-bit Kunpeng 702."
"Meizu doesn't want to follow Samsung's path to failure, so it is wise to switch to Xingyi Technology in time."
Lao Li nodded: "It seems that Meizu is determined to give up Samsung and choose Xingyi Technology. Even HTC is the same, and the last one is Xingyi Technology. Do we, Xiaomi, also have to make a choice?"
Rebus took a deep breath: "The Xiaomi 2 we are about to release is equipped with Nvidia Tegra 3 and plugs in the Pterosaur 3000 baseband of Xingyi Technology. The price is not high, only 1799, and the sales volume is estimated to be average. After all, Meizu MX2 is about the same as ours.
, all are fully connected and support mobile 3G.”
“The real winner lies in the next generation Xiaomi Mi 3.”
"Xiaomi Mi 3 originally planned to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia Tegra 4, and produce dual versions, which will be launched in September."
"Meizu MX3 will also be released in the second half of the year, about the same time."
"If MX3 is equipped with Samsung's dual quad-core chip, our Xiaomi Mi 3 will definitely win."
"But it turns out that Meizu doesn't care about military ethics and actually replaced it with the 64-bit Kunpeng 702. Then we, Xiaomi, will definitely lose!"
Lao Li also looked solemn: "Yes, the 64-bit processor is too powerful. What I am most worried about is that Meizu not only uses Xingyi Technology's processor, but also uses Xingyi Technology's XOS system. If so, we will be in big trouble.
Already."
"Yes, this is a big problem." Rebus said as if facing a formidable enemy.
"And even if Meizu does not carry the XOS system, we will lose. Nowadays, when consumers buy mobile phones, most of them need 64-bit processors. Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia Tegra 4 are both 32-bit processors, so the sales volume will definitely not be better. And Meizu MX3
The Kunpeng 702 equipped with 64 bits will definitely sell out."
"No wonder they dare to go high-end, that's why." Lao Li suddenly realized: "There is no other way, our Xiaomi Mi3 also has to get the Kunpeng 702!"
Rebus nodded: "Okay, contact Xingyi Technology, let's just say that our Xiaomi Mi 3 is fully equipped with Kunpeng 702, and buy more."
"Yes." Lao Li responded: "What about Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800? And Nvidia Tegra 4..."
"It's all 32-bit garbage. It's expensive, it's late, and consumers don't buy it. Anyone who wants to buy it will buy it!" Rebus said disdainfully.
A similar scene occurs in many companies.
At present, consumers are beginning to resist 32-bit processors, and major mobile phone manufacturers will naturally follow suit.
Those who do business cannot go against consumers, otherwise they will surely die.
Xingyi Technology.
Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi: "Chairman, Xiaomi Technology wants to purchase a batch of Kunpeng 702 SOC."
Wang Yi's mouth twitched: "..."
Sure enough, Rebus came.
"How much do they want?"
"Five million!"
Wang Yi thought for a while: "Yes, but you have to make it clear to them that an agreement must be signed and it cannot be used for low-end mobile phones below 3,000."
"Okay." Jian Ziyan responded: "What if they can't accept it?"
Wang Yi thought for a while: "That's okay. Kunpeng 700 is also for sale, with a lower price, and is positioned in the 2,000 range."
At present, Meizu has the 2009 M8, the 2011 M9, and the 2012 MX, which have accumulated a lot of reputation and fans. The MX3 still has room for high-end products.
But not long after the release of Xiaomi Mi 1, it encountered the Xphone 1. Sales were dismal. It was not as popular as its previous generation, and it did not have the foundation and fans of Meizu. It would be difficult to go high-end.
Therefore, the price limit of Kunpeng 702 SOC 3000 is acceptable to Meizu but not to Xiaomi.
The Kunpeng 700 SOC has a price limit of 2,000, so it is suitable for Xiaomi.
Sure enough, after receiving a reply from Xingyi Technology, Rebus was relieved.
"What? Kunpeng 702 SOC can't be used in mobile phones below 3,000 yuan?"
“And supply will start in April?”
"Isn't this a joke?"
"Xiaomi Mi 3, selling for 3,000?"
"You're kidding!"
"With such absurd conditions, doesn't Xingyi Technology intend to sell chips?"
Lao Li was also helpless: "There is no way, Xingyi Technology's own mobile phone sales are also very good, even if we don't buy Kunpeng 702 SOC, xphone 2 can be digested by itself."
Rebus: "..."
Chapter completed!
