"It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning. Being able to make the Kirin 910 is already very good."
The smile on Yu Dong's face stiffened and he sighed:
"I believe in your strength and the strength of HiSilicon. We will soon be able to develop a new, more powerful processor!"
He Ting was also helpless: "President Yu, HiSilicon and Xingyi Semiconductor are still different. Most of our people are domestic semiconductor elites, polishing and researching from scratch. Xingyi Semiconductor directly poached the R&D experts from Texas Instruments.
, R&D Mavericks, and a group of elites.”
Yu Dong nodded: "Yes, HiSilicon develops chips from scratch. Xingyi Semiconductor starts developing chips from the giant Texas Instruments."
"Their starting point is much higher than ours, at least several generations ahead."
"That's right, Texas Instruments' chip research and development capabilities are well known to everyone. They are number one, and Qualcomm is no rival."
"Wang Yi was lucky. It happened that Texas Instruments completely gave up its mobile chip business due to CDMA baseband problems, so he packed it up and poached it. Texas Instruments was able to save a large amount of layoff subsidies, so he was naturally happy.
See how it works."
"Xingyi Semiconductor is all staffed by Texas Instruments, and its R&D system also draws on or even follows Texas Instruments."
Yu Dong frowned: "Then why doesn't Texas Instruments sue Xingyi Semiconductor for plagiarism or infringement?"
He Ting waved her hand: "No way. Don't forget, Williams developed a 32-bit processor at Texas Instruments. When we came to Xingyi Technology, we developed a 64-bit processor. It's a completely new thing, Texas Instruments
We haven't even made a 64-bit processor yet, so how can we say that Xingyi Technology is plagiarizing or infringing?"
"This..." Yu Dong was speechless for a moment.
He Ting continued: "More importantly, once Texas Instruments makes a fuss about this matter, wouldn't it let everyone know that Texas Instruments, the dominant player in the chip industry, is not as good as a rising star like Xingyi Semiconductor? Even though Texas Instruments has made it, it has not done anything.
The 64-bit processor that Texas Instruments has released cannot afford to throw this person away, so it can only pretend that nothing happened."
Yu Dong's expression was extremely complicated: "As expected of Director Wang, he always does things flawlessly."
"Yes, Director Wang is a formidable opponent, and an opponent worthy of admiration." He Ting was filled with emotion: "I gave up the mainstream 32-bit processors at the beginning, regardless of the risks, and fully studied the 64-bit processors. It is really amazing.
"
"If it were me, I wouldn't dare to make such a desperate move."
Yu Dong nodded: "I don't dare. If there is a problem with ARM's new 64-bit architecture, all the billions of R&D funds invested will be wasted."
"Who would have thought that Xingyi Semiconductor turned out to be successful and won a big victory! ARM's 64-bit architecture was so powerful that Kunpeng 702 was directly regarded as a god."
"So, Director Wang is a terrifying and respectable opponent." He Ting's expression was extremely complicated:
"There is no shortage of gamblers in this world, but there is a shortage of people who can win every time. And Wang Yi seems to be just such a person."
"The person who wins every time he bets..."
Yu Dong was stunned. If he said he was not envious, it would be a lie: "I am looking forward to the xphone 2pro. I don't know what big changes will happen. Will there be a new generation of processors?"
He Ting shook her head: "That's enough. Kunpeng 702 is already powerful enough. With the 64-bit XOS system, there is a 60% improvement. It is more powerful than Qualcomm and Samsung's next-generation flagship processor. There is no need to rush out."
The next generation.”
"And 64-bit is a brand new architecture, which is not so easy to develop. Kunpeng 702 uses the A53 small core, which is easy to adjust. I guess Williams originally developed Kunpeng 702, which was developed for mid-range processors. I didn't expect it to be developed.
, it’s so powerful that it directly became a high-end one.”
"Yes, if it was initially developed as a high-end processor, Kunpeng 702 would have used the A57 large core." Yu Dongdu was speechless: "What good luck, the performance of the 64-bit small core is almost as good as that of the 32-bit large core
Already."
"Yeah, there's really no way to say luck. However, Xingyi Technology's next-generation flagship will definitely have to use the A57 large core, which will be difficult. If not, it might overturn and it won't be launched so quickly."
"I see." Yu Dong suddenly realized: "Then our Kirin 910 can't be made into 64-bit?"
He is really keen on the terrifying bonus of 64-bit.
He Ting was a little helpless: "President Yu, the R&D team of Xingyi Semiconductor is the core team of Texas Instruments, with strong strength and rich experience. The R&D team of our HiSilicon team is still relatively... immature, well... there are still many
Huge room for improvement..."
"It is also 64-bit, even if it is the A53 small core, the Kunpeng 702 that Xingyi Technology can complete in one year will take us two years. But can you wait?"
"Two years! I can't wait." Yu Dong was helpless.
After two years, Huawei’s mobile phones will probably become obsolete.
"So we can only continue to work on 32-bit. This is easier, we are familiar with it and have experience."
He Ting said: "As for the 64-bit flagship processor that will be launched in two years, it may also have to renovate the A57 large core, which will be even more difficult. If we continue to use the A53 small core, we will still be invincible this year, and maybe next year
It’s okay, but if it goes on the market the year after next, it will definitely not keep up with the times. Unless there is a completely new structure!”
Yu Dong understood.
Huawei is in a hurry to use processors. Next year's Kirin 910 can only be 32-bit, and the 920 must also be 32-bit.
The 64-bit Kirin 930 will only be available the year after next.
"However, by the end of next year, a mid-range 64-bit processor may be released, and a flagship processor may not be available until the year after next." He Ting added.
"Okay." Yu Dong understood that this matter cannot be rushed, and the HiSilicon department has been working hard.
Now the entire HiSilicon department is stimulated by Xingyi Semiconductor. 996 is not enough anymore, there are even 007!
There is no way, Xingyi Semiconductor's results are too outstanding, it seems that HiSilicon is not working hard enough.
"If the processor is not updated, what is the selling point of the xphone 2pro? I am even more curious!" Yu Dong said meaningfully.
The biggest shock to him about xphone 1 was its epoch-making appearance design and anti-freeze battery!
Only then did Yu Dong realize that a mobile phone could be designed so elegantly.
The battery can also be protected from freezing and will not shut down in winter!
The biggest shock of xphone 1pro is that it is the world's first quad-core mobile phone. The algorithm tuning and cooling module can make Nvidia Tegra 3 so cool! And the unprecedented beauty algorithm.
Xphone 2 is even more powerful, with 10W fast charging and subsequent self-developed processor...
As for the upcoming xphone 2pro, Yu Dong is really curious.
"You will know when it is released on the day." He Ting said lightly: "Since Yu is born, why is Liang born?"
Yu Dong was silent: "..."
Without Xingyi Technology, Huawei's self-developed processors would be invincible in the field of domestic mobile phones.
But with Xingyi Technology, Huawei is not so prominent.
"The road is long and difficult, and I will search up and down." He Ting changed the topic: "Leave the phone to you, leave the chip to me, and let's work hard together!"
"Okay!" Yu Dong rekindled his fighting spirit.
Yu Dong has a technical background and his innovative and outstanding contributions in the fields of communications and base stations made him stand out at Huawei. He was valued by Mr. Ren and became a core executive of Huawei.
To put it bluntly, he is technically powerful and understands management, so most people would not even look at him.
Except He Ting.
He Ting, who graduated with a master's degree in semiconductor physics from Beijing University of Technology in the 1990s, is the technical president of Huawei's 2012 laboratory, the president of HiSilicon Semiconductor, a member of Huawei's board of directors, a non-voting executive director, and the director of Huawei's scientist committee...
It can be said that without He Ting, HiSilicon’s future is uncertain.
With such an existence, Yu Dong was resigned to being defeated.
Words that encourage each other have more weight.
On April 11, Xingyi Technology’s spring press conference arrived as scheduled.
It is still the Meiyou exhibition building, but the difference is that the Meiyou Science and Technology Park has been fully completed.
Many core departments are all gathered here, making the originally desolate Daedong suburb of Jeju become Jeju Zhongguancun!
Media from all walks of life gathered at the scene.
Senior directors from major mobile phone brands also sat in the conference room and collectively watched the live broadcast of the press conference.
Even Apple Chairman Cook chose to stay up late to watch the live broadcast.
There is no way, as soon as Xingyi Technology holds a press conference, Cook will lose sleep.
If you don’t watch Xingyi Technology’s press conference and don’t understand what Xingyi Technology releases, you won’t be able to sleep at all.
This has become a habit.
The same goes for other senior executives of Apple. They all stay up late watching the live broadcast to see what new things Xingyi Technology will come up with.
The same goes for Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs and other senior executives.
It can be said that the grassroots employees of Apple and Qualcomm are fast asleep, but the chairman and senior executives collectively suffer from insomnia and stay up late to watch the live broadcast, fearing that Xingyi Technology will come up with another big move that will subvert the industry.
The difference is that this time, the one who also suffered from insomnia was the chairman of Google!
I also stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of Xingyi Technology’s new product launch conference:
"I hope that this time Xingyi Technology will only release new mobile phones or new processors, and never push the XOS system on the mobile phone, otherwise Android will lose hundreds of millions of users in one fell swoop!"
But what are you afraid of, what will come.
As soon as the press conference started, Wang Yi sent Google!
Wang Yi walked onto the stage: "Thank you everyone for coming to Xingyi Technology's spring conference."
"This press conference does not have much content, but it is full of useful information."
"First of all, Xingyi Technology's strategic core deployment, the XOS system!"
"In January, we released the world's first 64-bit mobile operating system, the XOS TV system. With its silky smooth experience and 60% performance improvement, it has won the favor of the majority of users and the support of the majority of application developers."
"In the past three months or so, many application manufacturers have adapted to the XOS system."
"As of now, there are more than 5,000 XOS native applications, basically covering all mainstream applications, and the number is increasing rapidly every day!"
As he spoke, Wang Yi waved his hand, and densely packed APP icons appeared on the large screen behind him.
It is those applications that are adapted to the XOS system.
"Wow!" Thunderous applause resounded throughout the audience.
Everyone was excited:
"In three months, more than 5,000 APPs have been adapted! Damn it, XOS is going to heaven."
"It's too fierce. It's only three months. If given time, wouldn't it be like destroying Android?"
"There is no way. The 64-bit XOS is 60% more powerful than the 32-bit Android. It can be crushed across generations. Users like it, so application vendors naturally have to compete to adapt."
"I guess Google is having trouble sleeping, hahaha."
Sure enough, Eric, the chairman of Google, frowned:
"More than 5,000 native applications have been adapted in three months, and most of them are mainstream applications. The rise of the XOS system is probably unstoppable!"
It is true that there are currently more applications for Android and IOS, both in the hundreds of thousands.
But those are global applications, and many of them cannot be used in Xia Country.
And there are a lot of junk apps.
On the contrary, there are only a few thousand truly valuable mainstream applications.
For mobile software, quantity is really not as important as quality.
Especially Android apps, many of which are copycats, have security risks and have little value.
More than 5,000 mainstream applications of the XOS system fully satisfy domestic users.
Wang Yi continued: "The XOS system, as a closed system, ensures absolute security. The more than 5,000 native applications on the shelves are all high-quality applications reviewed by Xingyi Technology, and there are no security risks. And they are all 64
Bit applications, on the XOS system, can have a 60% performance improvement compared to Android!”
Applause resounded throughout the audience again.
Security and efficiency are the advantages of the XOS system.
"Today, April 11, the XOS system mobile version and tablet version are fully launched!"
"Whether it is xphone 1, xphone 1pro, or xphone 2, as well as Xingyi Tablet X1, Xingyi Tablet X1pro, Xingyi Tablet X1Ultra, all have launched a new XOS system."
"Users can open the system APP of Xingyi mobile phones, Xingyi tablets, and Xingyi TVs, and then click on the XOS system to intelligently upgrade."
"Before the upgrade, personal privacy data will be synchronized to the user's Xingyi Cloud data. After the upgrade is completed, it will be synchronized back to the terminal device to ensure that the data will not be lost."
"And not only the basic data such as contacts, memos, text messages, alarm clocks, reminders, etc. are synchronized, but also the game data of Xingyi Game Center will also be synchronized intelligently."
"Even for single-player games in Xingyi Game Center, data will not be lost, so everyone can rest assured."
Thunderous applause sounded again.
Games are the most fearful of data loss.
I've been worried for a few months, but as soon as I upgraded the system, my data was gone, and I was afraid that I wanted to die.
But Xingyi Game Center will synchronously back up game data to the cloud server, and it will not be lost even if the XOS system is upgraded.
Of course, there is nothing you can do about the game data of third-party game platforms.
Third-party platforms and Xingyi Technology cannot back up.
"In addition, you can also ask Xiao Ai to help upgrade."
With that said, Wang Yi took out an xphone 2: "Xiao Ai."
"Here you are."
"Upgrade XOS system."
"Okay, Master, I will help you back up your data to the cloud server first and start the system upgrade at the same time. The upgrade process will take about 15 minutes, please wait patiently."
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Upgrading the XOS system is that simple."
"Similarly, after upgrading, if you are not used to it, you can click on the system APP again, check Android, and downgrade the system. All data will also be synchronized intelligently."
Hearing this, everyone was excited:
"This function is great and I don't have any worries at all. I will try to upgrade XOS now."
"Xingyi Technology's cloud service is really good, and the XOS system is even more powerful."
"Can you downgrade back to Android without losing data? So what are you waiting for? You must upgrade the XOS system, which is a 60% improvement!"
"Don't say 60%, my Qualcomm processor only has 20% improvement. I've been waiting for XOS to land on mobile phones."
With no worries anymore, everyone began to upgrade the XOS system.
60% performance improvement, completely powerless.
Even for older models with non-Kunpeng processors, there is a 20% improvement after upgrading to the XOS system, which is enough.
Seeing the extremely excited gestures of everyone present, Wang Yi felt reassured.
XOS system, stable!
But Google Chairman Eric's face was extremely ugly.
The XOS system is really not compatible with Android applications, so you can only choose one of the two.
Either use XOS system or downgrade back to Android system.
But with a 60% gap, users would rather change APP than switch back to Android!
"Well, it would be great if the XOS system was also a rip-off of Android."
“It’s still Jack Ma’s loyalty to Alibaba Cloud OS!”
Eric was full of emotions, wishing that the XOS system could be the second Alibaba Cloud.
But unfortunately not, not at all!
Not only is it not an Android shell, it is one generation ahead of Android, beating Android across generations and improving performance by 60%!
There is simply no sense of martial ethics!
"Next, the second strategic product!"
"xphone 2pro!"
Applause resounded throughout the audience again, and everyone was full of anticipation.
"After the Xphone 2 was released in September last year, its performance has been fully improved after core replacement and upgrade, and its sales have been far ahead."
"In more than half a year, the total sales of xphone 2 exceeded 80 million units!"
"Thank you for your support!"
There was an uproar at the scene: "What? 80 million units sold in half a year?"
"Damn, that's crazy! It's too scary!"
"Normally, the iPhone 5 and Samsung flagships were all blown away by the xphone 2. Parallel imports of the xphone 2 are sold all over the world."
"Yeah, every time I go on a business trip overseas, the other party asks me to bring a few xphone 2s with me..."
"If you give Maotai as a gift, foreigners can't say enough about it. If you give me an xphone 2, foreigners can treat you like a father!"
"Family, who knows? I have a friend who has a high bride price in his hometown. He turned around and hooked up with a 20-year-old European beauty. The bride price was an Xphone 2."
"Damn it, this is okay!"
…
Wang Yi continued: "Today, a new generation of Xingyi mobile phone xphone 2pro is released!"
"Like the xphone 2, the xphone 2pro still has a top-notch 1080P screen, 5.0 inches. Whether you are watching TV shows or playing games, it is super cool."
"The difference is that for a better audio-visual experience, the sound quality has been comprehensively improved!"
"The sound quality chip has been fully upgraded from the previous HIFI chip to Teana M1 hifi chip, and the sound quality has been fully upgraded!"
"And it has been upgraded from a single hifi chip to dual hifi chips, with the world's top analytical capabilities. The world's top tuning masters personally perform the work, which can be called unrivaled sound quality. Whether it is games or audio and video, you can have a better experience."
With that said, Wang Yi showed a piece of music and video played by xphone 2pro, and everyone at the scene was amazed:
"Absolutely, the strength of the M1 chip is really incredible."
"Xingyi TV X55 has unrivaled sound quality thanks to its M1 hifi chip. I didn't expect that it would also be arranged for xphone 2pro. It's awesome. It's awesome."
"The sound quality of xphone 2 is already top-notch, and xphone 2pro is even more terrifying."
Wang Yi continued: "The processor is also the most powerful at the moment, and it will even overwhelm the most powerful chip Kunpeng 702 SOC from our competitors in the next one or two years!"
"After upgrading the XOS system, the already invincible performance of Kunpeng 702 can be improved by another 60%!"
"Basically within one or two years, it will be difficult for our friends to come up with comparable products."
“The only thing that can beat Xingyi Technology’s Kunpeng 702 chip is Xingyi Technology’s own next-generation chip!”
Thunderous applause resounded throughout the audience, and the barrage exploded:
"Wang Dong is mighty! Xingyi Technology is domineering!"
"The only one who can defeat Xingyi Technology is the next generation of Xingyi Technology! Well said!"
"Arrogant, really arrogant! But Xingyi Technology has the confidence to be arrogant. It's so arrogant."
"Hahaha, I guess the face of Qualcomm's old director is dark. There is no way. Last year's Kunpeng 702 still beats this year's Qualcomm 800 and next year's Qualcomm 805!"
…
Such arrogant words, but no one questioned it.
Xingyi Technology has the confidence to be arrogant!
If nothing else, the 60% improvement is at least two generations ahead.
In fact, the first generation of chips has greatly improved, but the overall performance has only increased by 20%-30%.
As for the 40% improvement, that's just a theoretical numbers game.
On the contrary, if most chips are upgraded to one generation, a 30% actual improvement would be good.
Qualcomm headquarters, conference room brightly lit.
Chairman Jacob and a group of senior executives were present, but their expressions were extremely ugly.
Jacob's face turned livid: "Fake, Xingyi Technology is too arrogant!"
"It is actually said that Kunpeng 702 is two generations ahead of Qualcomm. How is this possible?"
“It’s okay if Snapdragon 600 is not a rival, and neither is Snapdragon 800. How could next year’s Snapdragon 805 not be a rival?”
"Is Kunpeng 702 so powerful? Can one generation be as powerful as our Qualcomm third-generation flagship?"
But the place was completely silent.
Finally, it was the vice president who broke the silence:
"Chairman, Kunpeng 702 is only 10% stronger than the Snapdragon 600 of the same generation and 20% weaker than the Snapdragon 800."
"But with the 64-bit improvement of the XOS system by 60%, it will surpass the Snapdragon 800 by 40%. Even if our next-generation Snapdragon 805 improves by another 30% compared to the Snapdragon 800, it will still be better than the Kunpeng with the 64-bit bonus.
702 is 10% lower!”
"The difference is not our processor, but the 64-bit architecture and system!"
"Alas!" Jacob was extremely melancholy.
In terms of processor performance, the Snapdragon 800 can beat the Kunpeng 702.
But with the 60% improvement of 64-bit, it is completely different.
The problem is that 64-bit processors cannot be built in a short time.
In particular, if Qualcomm wants to develop 64-bit, it will have to integrate the A57 large core, which is more than twice as difficult as the A53 small core of the Kunpeng 702.
It can take one year to develop the A53 small-core processor with the strength of Qualcomm.
But the A57 large-core processor, even from Qualcomm, will be difficult to use in two years, and it will also overturn.
Snapdragon 810 is an example.
Seeing that Jacob looked ugly, the vice president quickly changed the topic:
"According to Wang Yi, the next generation Kunpeng processor is already under development. We need to get their progress and development direction as soon as possible."
Jacob nodded: "Okay, let's move this matter forward as soon as possible, not if there is a professor..."
"Chairman, don't worry, I will send a sum of money to that guy's child in the United States in a moment. I will definitely ask him to check it out for us."
"Yeah." Jacob nodded, and was also curious about how Xingyi Technology's next-generation processor was developed.
A57 large core, how can it be reshaped?
The press conference continued: "The running memory of xphone 2pro is still the largest 2G running memory at present, ensuring absolute smoothness."
"The system is also equipped with the XOS system, the world's first 64-bit mobile operating system, but the difference is that xphone 2pro opens up a new unlocking experience - X-Touch, Xingyi fingerprint unlocking!"
All netizens were excited.
Chapter completed!
