Chapter 719: Snapdragon 810 is launched, the most powerful processor of the year???
From GPU chips to graphics card assembly, Xingyi graphics cards are all self-developed and produced.
They are all our own factories, so we can fully realize mass production of new graphics cards in a short period of time after they are successfully developed.
Nvidia's public version graphics cards and OEM graphics cards both have to be manufactured by exclusive OEM manufacturers.
They have to communicate with third-party OEM factories, place orders, and arrange production capacity. It is impossible to achieve mass production in a short period of time.
The non-public version has to sell GPU chips to graphics card manufacturers. Graphics card manufacturers can only mass-produce graphics cards after they get the GPU chips, which is less efficient and takes longer.
This results in insufficient production capacity for every one of Nvidia's best-selling graphics cards one or two months before they are launched on the market.
This is true whether it is the early release of the GTX 950 or the unplanned GTX 960 ti.
The same is true for GtX 980 ti. Due to insufficient production capacity in the first two months after its launch, not many were sold.
Even if GtX 980 ti is launched in June and RTX 6ti is launched in August, there will be no problem.
However, by then, the Xingyi RTX 980ti can be released first and then put on the market, and it can be released in June in advance, with the official announcement of the 6nm process and super performance in advance, intercepting consumers of GtX 14 ti!
As a result, many potential consumers who want to buy GtX 980 ti will choose to wait for two months and hold on to their money for the 14nm RtX 980 ti!
Then the sales volume of GtX 980 ti will be affected!
Old Huang will cry!
Well, just do it!
Moreover, according to the progress of Xingyi Semiconductor's 14nm process, RtX 980 ti may not have to wait until August, and it may be available in July.
By then, the difference between RtX 980 ti and GtX 980 ti will be only one month, so the impact will be even smaller.
It will definitely be able to critique GtX 980 ti again and critique Nvidia!
Qualcomm was beaten half to death by Xingyi Semiconductor. If it can get rid of Nvidia, Wang Yi’s chances of winning in future technology wars will greatly increase!
In the past few months, the entire semiconductor industry has been in turmoil.
Not only are the Xingyi graphics cards and the NVIDIA graphics cards in a fierce competition, they are also competing against each other strongly.
The field of mobile phone chips is also changing rapidly, with new killer moves emerging one after another.
Since the beginning of last year, when Samsung skipped 20nm and went straight to 14nm process, TSMC has fallen behind and is in a very passive position.
So much so that Zhang had to launch the Nighthawk Project and shouted "One hundred thousand young people, one liver each, to save TSMC" to fully tackle the 16nm process.
But if you are a step slower, you will fall behind.
Samsung officially announced at the end of last year that its 14nm process had entered the mass production stage, and TSMC has already been in hot water!
By February of this year, Samsung's 2nm process has begun risk mass production!
Although the yield rate is not high, the first batch of Orion 14 SOC chips using 7420nm process has rolled off the production line at the end of the month.
Samsung S6 will start assembly next month!
If nothing goes wrong, the Samsung S7420 equipped with the Orion 6 will be launched and sold in mid-April.
As for TSMC, it still has to wait for 16nm.
For this reason, Qualcomm can only be given 20 nanometers of production capacity to produce Snapdragon 810!
However, Qualcomm also understands the principle that the early bird catches the worm.
It is clear that its own 20nm Snapdragon 810 may not be as good as Samsung's 14nm Orion 7420.
Just release it early and put it on the market early to create a time difference!
As early as the fourth quarter of last year, Snapdragon 810 began mass production and was sold to major customers.
In addition, the Snapdragon 805, Qualcomm's flagship chip that had high hopes last year, failed miserably. It was not only beaten by the same-generation Kunpeng 906, but also by the previous generation Kunpeng 902.
This resulted in dismal sales of Snapdragon 805, which almost resulted in no sales at all, and Qualcomm’s stock price was almost halved.
Today, Qualcomm attaches great importance to the launch of Snapdragon 810, and regards it as an opportunity to turn the tide and fight a desperate battle!
A series of vigorous publicity has also begun!
直言骁龙810采用最先进的20纳米工艺，64位架构，必定超越星逸科技28纳米的鲲鹏910……
With such hype, Qualcomm also successfully fooled some customers.
As a result, new mobile phones in the first quarter of 2015 were divided into two major camps.
One part continues to be equipped with Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 910 SOC, 28nm process, stable performance, and motherboard design services + chip conditions, making the difficulty of mobile phone research and development extremely low.
Some brands believed Qualcomm's words and gave up Kunpeng 910, turning to the 20nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, believing that it could crush the Kunpeng 910 SOC.
For example, LG, Sony, HTC, Nokia, and Lenovo have all chosen Snapdragon 810.
There is also Motorola, which originally planned to refuse to continue using Qualcomm processors after the failure of Snapdragon 805.
However, parent company Google and Xingyi Technology are sworn enemies, forcing the Moto X Pro to continue using Snapdragon 810.
The Snapdragon 810 model started a series of promotions at the beginning of the year.
LG G Flex 2 was the first to launch Snapdragon 2015 at CES 810 in January, and was launched in South Korea at the end of January and in the United States in February.
In March, products also started to be launched in Europe and Asia!
The Moto X Pro was also announced in January and released in March.
However, this is just the beginning. In March, HTC One M810, Sony Xperia Z9 and Lenovo P4 equipped with Snapdragon 90 will be released one after another.
It can be said that March will be a feast for Snapdragon 810 mobile phones!
And the first one is HTC One M9!
In recent years, HTC has had a very difficult time. Not only has its sales plummeted and its market share dropped sharply, but it has also been besieged and blocked by major patent giants, and has been sued and banned from sales.
This resulted in HTC's new phone's sales plummeting just after it became a hot seller for a few months.
By the time of the M9 generation, both the HTC mobile phone team and Wang Hong were somewhat exhausted.
In theory, HTC M9 will continue to use Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 910.
Since Kunpeng 702, HTC has been using Kunpeng processors for many years and the cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant.
When it came to the M9 generation, HTC originally planned to continue using the Kunpeng processor, but unfortunately Qualcomm came knocking!
On the one hand, they promoted to HTC how advanced and powerful the 810-nanometer chip of Snapdragon 20 was, while on the other hand, they used threats and inducements!
He said that as long as HTC adopts Snapdragon 810, Qualcomm will give up the patent lawsuit against HTC. If HTC refuses to adopt it, Qualcomm will sue HTC immediately and continue to demand a ban on the sale of HTC one M9!
Under coercion and inducement, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but want to give in.
In addition, she also believes that Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 will definitely be upgraded to 64-bit architecture and 20nm process, and will have great hope of surpassing Kunpeng 910!
So HTC M9 gave up Kunpeng 910 and adopted Snapdragon 810 for the entire series!
On March 3, HTC held the M1 launch conference!
Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs attended the event in person to support HTC M9!
Wang Hong and Jacob shook hands and announced in public:
[The most powerful flagship phone of the year, equipped with the most powerful flagship processor of the year, a powerful combination! ]
Soon, a series of news broke out.
Both HTC and Qualcomm have invested huge amounts of money in publicity.
The difference is that in addition to promoting the power of Snapdragon 810, HTC's main focus is on promoting the overall power and advanced black technology of the M9 to entice consumers to place orders.
Qualcomm's publicity focuses on Snapdragon 810 and the hot sales of models equipped with Snapdragon 810, thereby enticing more manufacturers to place orders for Snapdragon 810.
Apart from these brands that have placed orders for Snapdragon 810, other brands, especially domestic brands, are still waiting and watching, or continue to use Kunpeng 910.
Qualcomm is not happy about this.
What Qualcomm wants is to return to its peak with the help of Snapdragon 810, to once again be the center of attention, to the time a few years ago when, as soon as Qualcomm's flagship processor was released, all major brands rushed to kneel down and worship it, to grab the first launch, and to rush to place orders.
Instead, now, Qualcomm's flagship processor has been released, but no one is interested in it.
Qualcomm's conspiracy, coercion and inducement made several brands reluctantly place their orders.
HTC, for example, placed orders under the threat of patent lawsuits.
As for LG, the Snapdragon 810 was launched first to LG at a super low price, so LG placed an order.
Motorola has also formed an alliance with its parent company Google's Android system to jointly promote 64-bit processors + 64-bit Android systems and join forces to fight against Kunpeng processors + XOS systems.
Even Sony has reached some agreements.
Qualcomm promised to help Sony develop ARM architecture processors specifically for handheld game consoles, which is how it won the chip order for Sony Z9.
The only one who fooled me was Lenovo...
Although Lenovo has also launched several generations of mobile phones with Kunpeng processors, Lenovo focuses on diversified development and does not want to rely on just one tree.
They believed Qualcomm's lies again, thinking that Snapdragon 810 is very powerful, and the new P90 uses Snapdragon 810.
Wang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to these.
No one knows the power of Snapdragon 810 better than Wang Yi.
These brands are already not developing well, and continuing to use Snapdragon 810 is undoubtedly suicide.
That's a good thing.
There are too many mobile phone brands nowadays, and they are too diverse and confusing. They have been badly let down by Snapdragon 810. It is a good thing that they are all gone in a wave.
Just like the new energy vehicle brands five or six years later, there were too many of them, so many that it was scary. But within a few years, dozens of them went bankrupt and were out of the market!
That's the right situation!
The same is true in the mobile phone industry.
It's just that Wang Yi didn't want to pay attention to these, but Jian Ziyan was very angry:
"Chairman, Qualcomm, LG, and HTC are going too far. It would be fine if they just promoted their new phones and Snapdragon 810, but they have to drag Xingyi Semiconductor into this and put us down!"
“Look at these reports!”
Wang Yi took the Xingyi tablet and took a quick look:
[Snapdragon 810 uses the world's most advanced 20nm process, and its performance is far better than Kunpeng 910, completely ending the dominance of Kunpeng processors. ]
[HTC One M9 equipped with Snapdragon 810 is officially released, aiming to be the best phone of the year, how can Xingyi mobile phone compete? ]
[The most advanced 20 nanometers, 64-bit architecture, Snapdragon 810 is reborn, locking in the strongest flagship processor of the year in advance, no one else! ]
[LG's new phone, in partnership with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, is officially on sale, surpassing the Xphone 4 in all aspects! ]
[Snapdragon 810 models are launched strongly, Qualcomm returns to its peak, and the mobile phone landscape will be reshuffled! ]
[Motorola's new Snapdragon 810 phone is about to be released, lock in the best phone of the year in advance! ]
[Jacob: 20nm process is not comparable to the 28nm process of other competitors. The glory of Kunpeng processor has ended. Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 is the most powerful chip of the year! ]
……
"Snapdragon 810 is the most powerful flagship chip of the year?"
"A model equipped with Snapdragon 810, locking in the best phone of the year in advance?"
Looking at these reports, Wang Yi laughed: "Who gave them the courage?"
"That's right. It beats our Kunpeng 910 and crushes the Xingyi phone. It's the best smartphone. I'm convinced."
Jian Ziyan was furious: "President Zhu is also very angry."
"Is Mr. Zhu angry?" Wang Yi smiled: "It seems that our sales have been affected?"
"Yes, Chairman. Ever since the news broke that Snapdragon 810 has surpassed Kunpeng 910 and new phones from LG and HTC have surpassed the Xingyi mobile phone, our Xphone 4 sales have declined during this period, and the sales of the Xingyi X1 Pro series have also been affected. Sales have been visibly declining in the past two days!"
"Even the Unlimited S2 series is affected." Jian Ziyan frowned.
