Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 416: Qualcomm is going to cut off supply? Xingyi Cloud Data Center is delivered!

Due to patent restrictions, the Xingyi mobile phone will not be available globally next year, but the chips can be sold!

Sell ​​Kunpeng 510 to brands such as HTC, Sony, LG, Motorola, and Lenovo.

Let them go to India and grab overseas markets.

Xingyi Technology makes money by selling chips and other accessories, which can be considered a roundabout way to internationalize!
And it's entirely possible.

Qualcomm APQ 8064 does not come with a baseband, so you need to buy a matching baseband.

The price of Qualcomm baseband was cut down to US$11 by Wang Yi.

A set of 8064 chip + baseband chip, 11+12 dollars, a total of 23 dollars, about 150 yuan. It can only be said to be a bargain.

But the price Qualcomm charges to other friendly companies is much higher. The 8064 chip costs US$20, and the bundled baseband chip costs US$17, totaling US$37 for a set, or about 245 yuan!
The Kunpeng 510 SOC uses a 40nm process, which is much cheaper than Qualcomm's 28nm process.

The baseband is integrated, and the cost is reduced by half again. In addition, since it is self-researched and produced, the output is large, and the total cost is only about 30 yuan.

Qualcomm 8064 needs to be outsourced to a third party. The cost and foundry fee of 28nm chips are more expensive, at least $50+.

Add to that the 28nm baseband which costs another 40+, and the total cost reaches 90+, which is more than three times that of Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng 510.

Qualcomm sells it for 245 yuan per set, while Kunpeng 510 sells it for 210 yuan or even 185 yuan, making more money.

Kunpeng 510 has a lower price, plus tuning services, and is a 64-bit processor. Its actual performance is not inferior to 8064, and is even slightly stronger. It can definitely grab a large number of orders from Qualcomm!

Thinking of this, Wang Yi became restless.

Qualcomm can’t just take all the profits from chips!
After being reborn, can Qualcomm still make all domestic mobile phone brands work for Qualcomm with the Snapdragon chip like in the previous life? Make money for Qualcomm?
This is impossible!

Wang Yi must snatch the order back from the tiger's mouth.

Even if domestic brands are allowed to work for chip manufacturers, they have to work for Xingyi Semiconductor!

Not only Kunpeng 500 and 510 are for sale, but next year's Kunpeng 700 will also be for sale.

Kunpeng 700 and Qualcomm 800 both use 28nm process technology. The only difference is that Kunpeng 700 does not have an integrated baseband, while Qualcomm 800 does.

It is precisely because Kunpeng 700 does not have an integrated baseband that the design difficulty is much lower, and it can focus on GPU and surpass Qualcomm's GPU.

That’s right, Kunpeng 700 directly uses the Mali-T658 MP4 quad-core GPU, which is much more powerful than Qualcomm 800’s Adreno 330 GPU.

The performance of Adreno 330 GPU is very powerful, much stronger than mali-T604, and similar to mali-T628 mp6 6-core GPU, but far inferior to mali-T658 mp4 quad-core GPU!

As for why not just make the Kunpeng 700’s GPU 6-core or even 8-core?
Of course, it leaves room for upgrades, targeting Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 at the end of next year!

高通2013年11月份先发布了更强大的805，2014年2月份才发布了较弱的骁龙801。

Wang Yi also has to prepare a backup plan!

Using the same 28nm process, Kunpeng 700's GPU crushes Qualcomm 800, and the CPU is at least -.

It can be said that except for the lack of baseband, the performance of Kunpeng 700 completely surpasses Qualcomm 800!

On Kunpeng 700, Wang Yi played a game of Tian Ji horse racing.

If both have integrated basebands, the research and development difficulty will be too great, and Kunpeng 700 will definitely not be able to outperform Qualcomm 800.

Therefore, Wang Yi chose to use an external baseband solution for Kunpeng 700 to improve GPU performance, making the performance of Kunpeng 700 surpass Qualcomm 800!

To cover everything means to not cover anything.

Since Qualcomm 800 has an integrated baseband, its GPU cannot be stronger and its frequency cannot be higher. Otherwise, it will fail like 810 and its performance will be worse than Kunpeng 700.

By then, Qualcomm 800 integrated baseband will have baseband advantages, while Kunpeng 700 will have stronger performance advantages, so they each have their own strengths.

In this way, Kunpeng 700 can also be sold to reliable third-party customers like Kunpeng 500 and Kunpeng 510.

In a moment, Wang Yi made a plan.

More than ten years later, HiSilicon will become independent and sell mobile phone chips to third-party customers.

It only means that chips have to be sold outside, and the path of self-use is narrowing.

More importantly, next year Nvidia will not be able to suppress Qualcomm, so Wang Yi will have to take action himself and use Xingyi Semiconductor to suppress Qualcomm!
By then, Xingyi Semiconductor and Qualcomm will be in direct competition!

As for the result of the competition, one person will definitely die.

Well, Nvidia is dead!

When the eldest and the second oldest fight, the third oldest always gets the loser!

Even without the Xingyi chip, Nvidia's mobile phone chips can still thrive for two more years.

Now with the Xingyi chip, which is competing head-on with Qualcomm, Nvidia's mobile phone chips will only fail faster.

After all, Nvidia's baseband is too poor, it does not support CDMA, it is inherently disabled and it is difficult to achieve great things.

Qualcomm was unaware of Wang Yi's deployment.

The issue of the power management chip alone has made everyone at Qualcomm very angry.

Jacob couldn't sit still anymore and decisively convened a high-level meeting:

"Everyone knows what happened recently. Xingyi Semiconductor actually came up with the x-charge fast charging standard and developed the fast charging chip C1 and the power management chip P1. As a result, more than a dozen mobile phone manufacturers including Samsung, Sony, and HTC all placed orders with Xingyi Technology, which seriously impacted the sales of our Qualcomm power management chips."

"You know, Samsung, Sony and other companies were originally Qualcomm's customers, and they all bought our power management chips. We can earn tens of billions of dollars every year from this business alone."

"Now, all the customers have been snatched away by Xingyi Technology. Next year's flagship mobile phones will all be equipped with Xingyi Technology's power management chips and fast charging chips as standard! However, the sales of our Qualcomm power management chips have dropped sharply, and we have suffered heavy losses!"

"And the 5-watt power management chips in the warehouse are also overstocked due to the decline in sales, which makes the situation worse."

Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened.

No one expected that Qualcomm, which had always been stealing other people's customers, would actually have its customers stolen!
This is incredible.

Thanks to CDMA, Qualcomm is extremely strong.

It started as a small business and overturned the chip giant Texas Instruments to become a chip giant!

But now, it has been snatched away by Xingyi Semiconductor.

Can this be tolerated?
A group of senior executives started to curse:
"Xingyi Technology is going too far. Doesn't it use our chips? Cut off their supply!"

"Yes, the Xphone 2 is selling like hot cakes. We will just cut off the supply to Xingyi Technology and cause them to suffer heavy losses!"

"Only in this way can they face reality and know the strength of Qualcomm."

"???" Jacob was stunned. He looked at the directors who spoke in disbelief: "Are your brains full of water? You said such nonsense!"

Several directors were speechless for a moment: "..."

Jacob was speechless: "Xingyi Technology is our rival, but also our super big customer. Xingyi Xphone 1 and Xingyi Tablet X1 both use our Qualcomm dual-core processor. They have purchased 1.3 million dual-core chips from us. More than 40 million -nanometer baseband chips. And they are still purchasing! Our dual-core chips are supported by orders from Xingyi Technology, and we are making a lot of money."

"If we dare to stop supplying APQ 8064 chips, Xingyi Technology will immediately stop purchasing dual-core chips, and NVIDIA's tegra 2 will quickly make up for it and grab our orders!"

"Similarly, if we dare to stop supplying 8064, Xingyi Technology will immediately replace it with NVIDIA's Tegra 3!"

"This..." Everyone was silent, but felt aggrieved in their hearts.

If other customers dare to snatch Qualcomm chips, we will cut off their supply, impose sanctions and give them a beating.

But a big customer like Xingyi Technology is so powerful that it is impossible to sanction it.

Once sanctions are imposed, Xingyi Technology will be replaced by Nvidia, but Qualcomm will suffer heavy losses.

But some people still refuse to accept the answer: "The Xphone 2 has a 1080P screen. Even if Xingyi Technology replaces it with NVIDIA's Tegra 3, it will be useless. Tegra 3 can't support 1080P!"

"Yes, so if we stop supplying them, Xingyi Technology's hot-selling Xphone 2 will be finished, and we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"Or, we can compromise and keep supplying. Then the price of APQ8064 will increase. The price we give to Xingyi Technology is too cheap. It's almost a bargain. We have to raise the price."

Jacob sighed: "You have a good idea, but it is not realistic at all."

"We have delivered 8064 million 3 chips, which is enough for Xingyi Technology to sell for several months. Nvidia's Tegra 1080 cannot support 3P. If we stop supplying, subsequent Tegra 4 will not be able to support it. But don't forget, Nvidia's next generation Tegra 1 is coming soon. It will be released at CES 7 on January 2013 next year."

“40纳米的tegra 3带不动1080P，28纳米的tegra 4呢？也带不动吗？”

"This..." Everyone was silent again.

As Jacob said, if the Tegra 3 can't carry it, the next generation Tegra 4 will definitely be able to carry it.

The vice president took a deep breath and said, "The chairman is right. Once we stop supplying Xingyi Technology, the 3000 million APQ 8064s that have been delivered will be enough for Xingyi Technology to survive until January next year. By then, Xingyi Technology will switch to NVIDIA's Integra 4. Qualcomm will be in trouble. Not only will we lose tens of millions of orders, but we will also force Xingyi Technology, a major customer, to go to NVIDIA. This is equivalent to cutting off our own arms! This is not acceptable."

Jacob nodded: "Cut off the supply to Xingyi Technology, which will only cause Qualcomm to suffer heavy losses, which is absolutely unacceptable. On the contrary, not only can we not cut off the supply, not only can we not raise the price, but we must continue to serve Xingyi Technology well and give priority to the supply of 8064 chips to Xingyi Technology to prevent them from switching to purchasing NVIDIA's Tegra 4 next year!"

"This year, Xingyi Technology's Xphone 1Pro, Xingyi Tablet X1Pro, and Xingyi TV have purchased 1.5 million NVIDIA Tegra 3 chips! These were originally our orders, but because our quad-core flagship was half a year slower than NVIDIA, they were all snatched away by NVIDIA!"

"Next year, this situation will never be allowed to happen again!"

Whenever Jacob thought of this, he felt heartbroken.

Without orders from Xingyi Technology, Nvidia would not make much money from its mobile phone chips.

But thanks to Xingyi Technology's 1.5 million order, NVIDIA's Integra 3 sold out directly and made billions of dollars!
So much so that Huang has tasted the sweetness and continues to develop the next generation of Tegra 4 and continue to grab orders from Qualcomm.

"Yes, not only can we not stop supplying Xingyi Technology, we must also serve Xingyi Technology well. We must not let NVIDIA's Tegra 4 continue to steal our Qualcomm 800 orders next year!"

"We really can't afford to offend Xingyi Technology, so we at Qualcomm are just going to have to endure this humiliation in vain? Are we just going to put up with it?"

"What else can we do? Xingyi Technology is our rival and a super big customer. If they try to steal our customers, we can only swallow our anger." "Yes, after all, power management chips are not valuable, but mobile phone chips are very valuable. We can only bear it and not lose the big picture for the small."

Jacob sighed, "That's right. We can't bear the current situation. Of course, Qualcomm can't admit defeat. We must develop a 10-watt fast-charging chip as soon as possible and develop Qualcomm's fast-charging standard. Then we will quickly launch it and win back our big customers!"

"That makes sense. We will take it back with our strength. It's just normal business competition. Xingyi Technology can't say anything. When the time comes, they will have to buy our mobile phone chips and continue to buy them."

"Yes, let's do it." Jacob nodded and looked at Fran Hammond: "I'll give you half a year to make Qualcomm's 10-watt fast charging standard and fast charging chip, as well as power management chip!"

Fran Hammond's face changed slightly, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Chairman, this is unrealistic! We have to develop a new fast-charging solution. Once the solution is ready, we have to develop fast-charging chips and power management chips, plus tape-out production. It will take at least a year to be realistic."

"One year? So long?" Jacob's face changed drastically. "It will take a year to develop 10W fast charging. By then, the whole world will use Xingyi fast charging. What will Qualcomm have to do with it?"

"Chairman, there is nothing we can do about it. We have to circumvent Xingyi Technology's patented technology, which is very difficult." Fran Hammond said:

"To put it in an analogy, fast charging is a dense forest, and the fast charging solution is to find the right path to successfully get out of the dense forest. Xingyi Technology was the first to take the path, and it easily found a way out. Not only did it successfully get out of the dense forest, it also planted many landmines called patents in the nearby dense forests."

"If we at Qualcomm want to get out of the jungle, we not only have to find a completely new and correct path, but we also have to avoid the patent minefields laid by Xingyi Technology, which is even more difficult."

"This..." Jacob was silent.

But I have to admit that this metaphor is very vivid and makes sense.

Not only do we have to find a completely new solution, but we also have to avoid the Xingyi fast charging patent, which is extremely difficult.

Fran Hammond continued: "It's not just Qualcomm that needs a year. Samsung, Intel, and Texas Instruments will also need a year at the fastest!"

"That is why, although Samsung has the R&D capability, it needs a year to do so, so it still placed an order for 1000 million sets of Xingyi fast-charging chips for next year's Samsung flagship phones!"

Jacob understood it completely and sighed unwillingly:

"One year is just one year. Alas! I am afraid that after one year, the entire fast charging market will be dominated by Xingyi Technology's x-charge fast charging protocol and all of them will be X charging ports."

Fran Hammond nodded: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is very likely. Even our Qualcomm fast charging solution has to give up the A port and adopt Xingyi Technology's X port!"

"Then give up on the A-mount. The X-mount allows for blind insertion in both directions, which is considered an improvement. It will become the mainstream sooner or later." Jacob said gloomily.

One of the senior executives couldn't help but ask: "Chairman, should we continue to produce the 5-watt power management chip?"

"What the hell is production? All the customers have been snatched away by Xingyi Technology, and the inventory is seriously overstocked. Why should we produce more? Stop all production and wait until the inventory is almost sold out before we continue!"

"Yes!"

Jacob closed his eyes and said quietly, "It's really painful to see our customers get ahead of us and make Qualcomm the pursuer."

At the beginning of this year, NVIDIA's Tegra 3 came out of nowhere, releasing a quad-core mobile phone processor half a year earlier and snatching away a large number of Qualcomm's customers and orders. Jacob was very upset.

Now Qualcomm APQ 8064 is released, and it finally makes a comeback by launching the first 28nm quad-core processor.

As a result, Xingyi Technology's x-chagre fast charging came out, releasing 10-watt fast charging one year earlier and snatching away a large number of customers and orders!

Jacob was frustrated again!
"Fuck! NVIDIA and Xingyi Technology are taking turns to bully us!" Jacob couldn't help but curse.

What’s even more frustrating is that even though Xingyi Technology has snatched away many of its customers, the company dares not even cut off supply. Instead, it has to beg the other party to continue purchasing.

"As for Apple, we can't afford to offend them either. We have to beg them to buy our baseband chips!"

"Ugh!"

Jacob became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, not knowing that this was just the beginning and that he would be even angrier next year.

The chip competition between Xia Kingdom and the United States is inevitable, but it started a few years earlier in this life.

The main player has also changed from Huawei in the previous life to Xingyi Technology!

Wang Yi did not pay much attention to this, but went to the Xingyi Cloud Data Center with Song Sining.

The scene was decorated with lights and the media gathered.

"Director Wang is here!"

One person shouted like this, and all the media became excited, with their cameras pointed at Wang Yi:
"Mr. Wang, how many cabinets can Xingyi Cloud Data Center accommodate after its first phase is delivered?"

"Mr. Wang, how many servers can be deployed in the first phase?"

"Director Wang, in addition to the Phase II that is under construction, there is a hundred acres of vacant land behind. Will Phase III and Phase IV be built?"

"President Song, when all is completed, what size will the Xingyi Cloud Data Center reach?"

……

Faced with the numerous questions raised by the crowd, Wang Yi and Song Si Ning looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Data centers are still very important these days, especially the super-large ones that the media can’t help but go crazy over.

After all, other people's data centers only cover a few dozen acres, while Wang Yi's data center, with the first and second phases already under construction, covers an area of ​​100 acres.

There are 100 acres of vacant land at the back, which makes it the largest single data center in the country, or even the world’s first!
Wang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, everyone. I will attend the delivery ceremony first and then answer all your questions collectively. Please make way!"

Under the protection of the security team, Wang Yi and Song Sining finally squeezed onto the stage.

Director Hong looked at this scene and joked, "Alas, it was the same when I first came here. It was hard to squeeze in."

Wang Yi smiled: "If I had known this, I would have followed you."

"Why, you still want me to attract the media's attention for you? Haha."

"It's not impossible. After all, I'm a good public servant of the people." Wang Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, then wait until the second phase is delivered, and I'll attract firepower for you. If I'm still in Jeju." Director Hong's words were somewhat intriguing.

Director Hong is not only the director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, but also the head of the Jeju City Investment Promotion Bureau.

From the introduction of the Mayu Technology Park last year to the Wujie Technology Park this year, as well as the Xingyi Mobile Phone Super Factory 1 and 2, Xingyi Tablet Factory 1 and 2, and Mayu's new clothing factory...

It can be said that Director Hong has made outstanding achievements.

With so many political achievements, it will be difficult to continue staying in Jeju next year.

There is a high probability of promotion.

As for to what extent it would rise, Wang Yi had no idea.

But a triple jump is certain, and it is possible that he will be transferred to other cities to become the top leader.

Similarly, Director Qin of the Imperial Capital is not only the Director of the Haicheng District Management Committee, but also a senior member of the Imperial Capital Development and Reform Commission. He is expected to be promoted as well...

There is no way, his political achievements are too outstanding...

However, this made Wang Yi a little worried. What if the person was replaced? Could the big projects signed this year still be promoted next year?
Now Wang Yi can't help but feel a little worried. Once Director Hong leaves, can the remaining major projects be completed safely?

Perhaps seeing Wang Yi's worry, Director Hong smiled and said:
"Don't worry. Xingyi Technology and Meiyu Technology are not only Jeju's star companies, but also the province's core companies. I don't know how many people are watching them. Even if I leave, everything will be settled for you, don't worry. Besides, I'm just a small director, and the top leader can't leave next year. And you have created so much tax revenue and employment, no one dares to mess around."

Hearing this, Wang Yi felt relieved.

Next year, Xingyi Technology and Mayu Technology will have many large projects to be implemented in Jeju, so I hope there are no problems.

"Come on, cut the ribbon!" Director Hong said kindly.

Afterwards, the two parties held a ribbon-cutting ceremony together, and the first phase of Xingyi Data Center was officially delivered.

Of course, it’s just the infrastructure, and the servers and fiber optic equipment inside have to be arranged by Wang Yi himself.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, cars drove into the data center and began installing servers and other equipment.

Wang Yi began to respond to media reporters:
"I have noted down all the questions you asked, and will answer them all at once now."

"The entire Xingyi Cloud Data Center covers an area of ​​200 acres. The first phase that has been delivered currently covers an area of ​​4000 acres, which can accommodate cabinets and can deploy more than servers!"

Then Wang Yi pointed to the distance and said, "To the west, the second phase of Xingyi Cloud Data Center is under construction. It is expected to be delivered in the first half of next year. It will also cover an area of ​​4000 acres and can accommodate cabinets and deploy more than servers."

"Similarly, the two vacant lots on the south side are also 50 acres each. Construction will begin next year and will become the third and fourth phases of the Xingyi Cloud Data Center."

"Once the fourth phase of the cloud data center is completed, a total of more than 20 cabinets and more than servers can be deployed."

“It will be the largest single cloud data center in the country, the largest single cloud data center in Asia, and the largest single cloud data center in the world!”

Applause resounded throughout the venue, and the media present were all shocked.

I didn’t expect Xingyi Technology to be so generous, directly investing 20 servers.

monomer!

This scene was also broadcast live simultaneously by major media outlets.

Watching Wang Yi speaking in high spirits during the live broadcast, Baidu CEO Li Yan's mouth twitched:

"With 20 servers in a single unit, Xingyi Technology has a really big ambition!"

"Our Baidu cloud data centers combined only have 10 servers."

"Xingyi Technology needs 20 servers for one cloud data center, twice as many as Baidu!"

"That's great!"

"How ambitious!"
