Chapter 449 Kunpeng SOC, punching Apple and kicking Qualcomm

"And the guy who just spoke, is he a black man arranged by Xingyi Technology?"

"It's too much, it's too much!"

"Now, tens of millions more people know that our iPhone 5 has a dual-core CPU, which will affect sales!"

Cook sighed, looking lonely.

He also knew that the dual-core CPU was a bit poor, but there was no other way. He had to control power consumption and heat, and he had to make some trade-offs.

The GPU of A6 and A6X is extremely powerful. If the CPU also has four cores, it will inevitably generate excessive heat, the temperature will be too high, the cores will be locked and the frequency will be reduced, and it will completely fail.

Then A6 and A6X became the second Nvidia Tegra 3.

You can not have it both ways.

Since Apple has chosen a powerful GPU, it has to give up the quad-core CPU and continue to use the dual-core CPU.

Therefore, during the promotion process, Apple only emphasized how powerful the A6 GPU is, and did not mention a word about the CPU which is a generation behind.

But I didn’t expect that now it has been exposed by Wang Yi!
Now, everyone knows that Apple A6 and A6X are both dual-core, so they must be very disgusted with them.

With the arrival of the quad-core era, even veteran Apple fans cannot accept the outdated dual-core.

Apple used to be powerful and had sufficient faith bonus, so even if the product was rubbish, fans would still buy it.

But now, Xingyi mobile phones have come out, xphone 1 beats iPhone 4s, and xphone 1pro continues to beat iPhone 4s.

Even the newly released iPhone 5 is beaten by the Xphone 2!

After being beaten and crushed repeatedly, Apple fell from the altar, and the faith of Apple fans collapsed.

Now that dual-core CPUs have been exposed, the consequences can be imagined.

Even the comments in the live broadcast room have changed:
"Even dogs don't want a dual-core apple."

"Between Xphone 2 and iPhone 5, any hesitation is my fault!"

"I'm returning my iPhone 5 and ordering an Xphone 2."

"I have ordered an Xphone 2. Goodbye Apple. I have been a fan for three years. Goodbye!"

"The fourth generation of iPad is also dual-core, I'm going to retire it, I'm going to retire it, Apple is rubbish!"

Cook looked pale as he watched his subordinates translate the comments:

"It's over. Just this wave, the sales of iPhone 5 and iPad have started to plummet."

“No, even Apple’s stock price will plummet!”

Cook's face changed drastically. He suddenly thought of the consequences, but he was powerless to do anything.

I just didn't expect this wave of reversals would come so quickly.

Previously, Cook used the GPUs of A6 and A6x to beat Nvidia Tegra 3, xphone 1pro, and Xingyi tablet X1 pro. At that time, Apple was very proud and Cook was very happy.

The result is now good. Wang Yi also has the CPU, which completely beats A6 and A6x, iPhone 5 and iPad th 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 GPU advantage, we can still turn the game around!"

"Yes, and a powerful GPU!" Cook nodded.

GPU is Apple’s biggest advantage!

At the press conference, Wang Yi said with a smile: "I hope Apple will work hard to catch up as soon as possible. It's okay to lag behind by one or two years in the quad-core era, but don't lag behind by three to five years."

“Hahaha!” There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Cook's face turned extremely pale.

This is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

No, it is also very harmful.

At least despite their dual-core reputation, iPhone 5 and iPad th generation are not selling well.

Wang Yi continued: "Although the quad-core A9 is very good, its performance is not strong enough. Let's continue to guess what our architecture is?"

“Quad-core A15!”

"No, the A15 generates too much heat, and the quad-core can't handle it. It's probably a dual-core A4 + dual-core A15!"

"Dual-core A15 + dual-core A9, it's really possible!"

"The dual-core A15 + dual-core A9 are also ridiculously powerful, but the 40nm process consumes too much power."

"I guess it's dual-core A15 + dual-core A7!"

"It's possible. A15 for big jobs and A7 for small jobs. Perfect!"

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Everyone's guess is reasonable, but it's not right."

“Ah, what is that architecture?”

Everyone was confused. They guessed everything they could and couldn't think of any other architecture.

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "A53 architecture!"

"..."

"???"

There was a moment of silence at the scene, and many users were confused.

I've heard of A7, A9, and A15, but never heard of A53!
Isn't this number too big a leap?

But Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs' face changed slightly: "A53? They use ARM V8 architecture!"

"No wonder the chairman of ARM came 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 come here in person."

"I just don't know how the A53 performs. It would be interesting if it fails. Haha."

Nvidia Chairman Huang was also confused: "Being the first to use the V8 architecture? Mr. Wang is so brave, don't make a mistake! After all, the new architecture is immature and it is easy to make a mistake."

The vice president even said with a smile: "It would be best if it fails. If it fails, Xingyi Technology will have to continue to purchase our Tegra 3!"

Wang Yi continued: "The architecture of our Kunpeng 700 is not quad-core A9, nor A15, not even V7 architecture, but the brand new ARM V8 architecture! Quad-core A53!"

"Yes, our Kunpeng 700 is the world's first V8 architecture chip."

“It’s also the world’s first 64-bit chip!”

"Currently, the chips of our competitors are all based on the V7 architecture, which is only 32 bits, while our Kunpeng 700 is based on the V8 architecture, which is 64 bits!"

"In the future, 64-bit systems and 64-bit apps will become mainstream."

"With a 64-bit processor, even with the same configuration, the performance will be even more amazing. The improvement will be more than 40%-70%!"

"This is the V8 architecture, the advantage of 64-bit!"

"Wow!" Applause broke out again.

"Even if competitors' 32-bit processors are upgraded to 64-bit systems and 64-bit apps, they will not be able to take advantage of the 64-bit improvements. This is because the chips are only 32-bit and cannot be upgraded."

"But Kunpeng 700 is different. It is a chip that is based on the present and looks to the future!"

The applause started again.

"Some people may say that 64-bit systems are still far away, very far away. 64-bit applications are only three or four years away. The benefits of 64-bit are meaningless."

Everyone nodded, and they all felt that the upgrade would be very slow.

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "That may not be the case. In one year at the shortest and two years at the longest, 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit apps will be available."

"That's right. Next year, or at the latest the year after, the mobile phone industry will enter a new 64-bit era!"

"Just like this year, the mobile phone industry has entered the quad-core era!"

"what?"

"Will we enter the 64-bit era next year or the year after?"

"No way? I just found out what 32-bit is this year!"

“Is the mobile phone industry changing so fast?”

For a moment, everyone was stunned and full of disbelief.

Even Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs and Nvidia Chairman Huang frowned.

Their progress is not so fast.

What is this guy Wang Yi up to again?

Force the entire industry to go 64-bit?
Wang Yi smiled faintly: "That's right, the upgrade of the mobile phone industry is so fast, so fast! It will only get faster and faster in the future, almost taking off."

"If some companies are still lingering in the dual-core era, they will be doomed. After all, the octa-core era will soon arrive."

"When the octa-core era comes, if Apple is still stuck with dual-core, it would be a bit disrespectful to users."

“Hahaha!” There was laughter everywhere.

Cook's face turned black again: "Fuck, it comes again!"

"What's wrong with the dual-core? It's not like it can't be used!"

"If the CPU has 4 cores, then our GPU will be lagging behind, right?"

"But who would have thought that the dual-core CPU would become our weakness, and Wang Yi would not let go of it!"

"It's difficult!"

The powerful GPUs of Apple A6 and A6X are achieved by reducing the CPU.

There is no other way, power consumption must be maintained, you can’t have it all.

If it is really designed as a quad-core CPU, Apple A6 will also fail and become the second Nvidia Tegra 3.

Nvidia Tegra 3 has a powerful CPU but a weak GPU, which is completely opposite to Apple's approach.

On the contrary, Qualcomm APQ 8064 is quite powerful, with a powerful CPU and GPU. Thanks to the advanced 28nm process, power consumption and heat generation are well controlled.

But Apple currently does not have this capability.

Never again.

That is why Apple did not use a quad-core CPU until the A10.

Unlike Apple, which is gloomy, Samsung's CEO is very happy:

"In two months, we at Samsung will release the world's first eight-core chip!"

"Then I can borrow Wang Yi's words to market myself, and criticize Apple's dual-core processors. I can also criticize Kunpeng 700, Qualcomm APQ 8064 and other quad-core processors! Hehehe."

"What about Nvidia Tegra 3?" asked the subordinate.

Samsung's CEO said: "Nvidia's Tegra 3 is not worthy, we have to step on the next generation Tegra 4!"

"The chairman is wise!"

The Samsung CEO was in a good mood: "Wang Yi is a very good person. He took the initiative to promote our Samsung's eight-core processor. That's great, hahaha."

Unexpectedly, Wang Yi changed the subject: "Of course, the eight-core I'm talking about is the real eight-core, not the fake eight-core of four-core plus four-core!"

The smile on Samsung's boss's face froze: "..."

The subordinate's mouth twitched: "..."

Everyone at the scene was confused: "What is a true eight-core and what is a fake eight-core?"

"They both have eight cores, what's the difference?"

Listening to everyone's puzzled words, Wang Yi explained: "The so-called true eight-core means that all eight cores can be fully opened, and the eight cores can work at the same time."

"As for the pseudo-octa-core, although it has eight cores like the real octa-core, and is also a four-large-core + four-small-core architecture, only four cores can be enabled at most, working in rotation, and all eight cores cannot be enabled. This is the pseudo-octa-core, or dual-quad-core. It is essentially still a quad-core processor." The comments were lively:
"I see. If all eight cores can't be used, why do you still want to make it eight-core? Why does it feel like taking off your pants to fart?"

"Isn't it? If they can't work together, then why have eight cores? Four cores will be enough."

"Dual quad-core is definitely the most stupid invention. Twice the cores, but still quad-core performance. Isn't this a waste of resources?"

"No, it does have its advantages. Working in shifts can at least slightly improve performance, right? When one group gets tired, they step down and another group takes over. It's a shift system."

"Perhaps there will be some performance improvement, but not much. The performance of a quad-core occupies the space of an eight-core, which greatly squeezes the space for other components and heat dissipation, and the power consumption is also high, which is not worth the cost."

"Yeah, I just took off my pants and farted."

"Is there really any company that would come up with such a stupid design?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Which company would be so stupid?"

……

Looking at the translated comments, the Samsung chairman's mouth twitched: "..."

The president's face turned green: "..."

"Shit! We just thanked Wang Yi and now he's sabotaging us!"

"What can I do?"

"Our next generation dual quad-core has not even been released yet, and it has become a joke."

“Is it still being released?”

Hearing this, the chairman was also stunned: "!!!"

Still publishing?

Samsung's Orion 5 Octa is a new generation flagship chip that Samsung has invested heavily in and has high hopes for.

Samsung is planning to flex its muscles at next year's CES with the Exynos 5 Octa, competing head-on with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia Tegra 4 and crushing them.

After all, the Exynos 5 Octa has eight cores!

Four A15s + four A7s, four A15s for big things and four A7s for small things, a perfect combination.

However, Wang Yi exposed its true colors by calling it a “fake eight-core” before it was even released.

It was also mocked by users as "Samsung's fake octa-core is just like taking off pants to fart, a waste of effort."

It's really embarrassing.

After some hesitation, the chairman said, "Keep releasing it. We have invested a huge amount of money in research and development. We can't let it go to waste!"

"What if consumers don't buy it?" the president was a little worried.

The chairman, however, didn't care: "Don't worry, even if the pseudo-octa-core is worse, it's still a dual-quad-core. Can it be worse than the Apple dual-core?"

The president's eyes lit up: "Yes, then we will crush Apple's dual-core. There is no harm without comparison. Our dual quad-core is much better than Apple's dual-core even if we take off our pants and fart. Hahaha."

"That's right, we use Apple's dual-core to market. If anyone criticizes our dual-quad core, we will criticize Apple's traditional dual-core."

"Just say... at worst we can just borrow their four cores!"

"Hahaha, that's too bad."

"Besides, even if the dual-quad-core chip doesn't sell well, it doesn't matter, because Meizu will take over. In the middle of next year, we will sell the dual-quad-core chip to Meizu and let them make the MX3!"

"This is a good idea. If the dual quad-core chips sell well, we can use them ourselves. If they don't sell well, we can give them to Meizu. If Meizu buys several million of them, we won't lose money."

Wang Yi could not have imagined that his casual words would soon trigger a chip dispute between Apple and Samsung...

The press conference continues:
"Perhaps, some people would say that the power of 64-bit chips can only be experienced after 64-bit systems and applications are installed next year or the year after."

"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."

"For the CPU, Kunpeng 700 uses the V8 architecture, quad-core A53, and a main frequency of 1.3 GHz, which is very powerful."

"How powerful is it?"

“It’s 6 times that of Apple A2.4.”

"Wow!" There was thunderous applause.

Cook's face turned completely black: "!!!"

Apple A6 has become a comparison unit!

It's so insulting.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "Sorry, it's a bit unfair to compare it with the dual-core A6. Let's switch to a quad-core one."

"Hahaha!" There was another burst of laughter at the scene.

"..." Cook's mouth twitched, and he was so angry that he smashed the cup on the table: "Wang Yi, you are going too far!"

Wang Yi continued: "Let's use the Tegra 1 of the xphone 3pro for comparison. According to multiple dimension tests, our Kunpeng 700 CPU is 3 times that of NVIDIA's Tegra 1.2!"

At the beginning, Kunpeng 700 was just in trial production and was not optimized enough, with an improvement of only about 3% compared to NVIDIA Tegra 5.

Now that the optimization is in place and retested, it is 3% better than Tegra 20.

"Yes, the CPU is 3% more powerful than the quad-core Tegra 20!"

Applause broke out again at the scene. As the first chip of Xingyi Semiconductor, Kunpeng 700 surpassed NVIDIA's quad-core, which is considered a great success.

“As for the GPU, Kunpeng 700 uses the extremely powerful Mali-T604 mp3, a triple-core GPU!”

"How powerful is the Mali-T604 mp3?"

Wang Yi paused and said, “It’s even better than the GPU PowerVR SGX 6 MP543 that A3 is so proud of!”

"3% more powerful than Nvidia Tegra 65's GPU!"

“This is our first processor, it has powerful performance!”

Instantly, screams rang out at the scene.

"Amazing! Kunpeng 700 CPU is 6 times that of A2.2, and its GPU is also stronger than A6, so it beats A6 in all aspects! Apple is rubbish."

“It not only beats A6, but also beats Nvidia Tegra 3.”

"That's right, Kunpeng 700 CPU is 3 times that of Tegra 1.2, and GPU is 3 times that of Tegra 1.65!"

"Fuck, isn't that going to catch up with Qualcomm's new flagship APQ 8064?"

"Yes, it's only slightly worse than APQ 8064."

"In general, Kunpeng 700's CPU and GPU are both very powerful. It's the first processor to achieve this level. Xingyi Technology is invincible!"

……

Cook looked a little unhappy when he saw this scene. "Wang Yi doesn't talk nonsense. It seems that Kunpeng 700 is really powerful. It beats our A6 CPU and GPU. It seems that iPhone 5 can't compete with Xingyi mobile phone."

The vice president didn't care: "It's okay, we still have the A6x. Even if the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro is replaced with Kunpeng 700, it is still no match for the A6X."

"Yes, the A6's GPU is a PowerVR SGX 543 MP3 triple-core, while the A6X's GPU is a PowerVR SGX 554 MP4 quad-core. The GPU performance is 6% higher than that of the A25. Even the Kunpeng 700 is no match for it. Our iPad th generation is still selling well." Cook felt relieved.

可高通董事长雅各布却是坐不住了：“鲲鹏700就吊打了A6和英伟达Tegra 3？那后面的鲲鹏702呢？会不会把我们高通的APQ 8064也给干了？”

"If that's the case, then we're in trouble!" The vice president's face changed drastically, and he thought of a lot in an instant:
“No wonder Xingyi Technology hasn’t placed any orders for APQ 8064 processors in the past two months.”

"You mean... their Kunpeng 702 is indeed better than our APQ 8064, so their inventory is almost exhausted and they haven't placed any 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 he felt terrible.

"If so, it will be a big problem. But it is unlikely, right? Even if it is Kunpeng 702, it is probably just Kunpeng 700 with a different name. It should not be higher than our APQ 8064, right?"

The vice president was not optimistic: "Even if it can't exceed it, it's good enough. Let's take a step back. Let's not talk about Kunpeng 702. Even if Kunpeng 700 can beat A6 and replace our APQ 8064, the performance will be slightly reduced at most."

"This... ugh!"

Jacob sighed and broke out in a cold sweat.

What are you afraid of? What are you coming for?

Without the huge order from Xingyi Technology, how much will Qualcomm's APQ 8064 sales drop?
On the contrary, Lao Huang was relaxed:
"Mr. Wang is awesome. Although Kunpeng 700 beat Tegra 3, it also beat Apple's A6. It's not just Nvidia that is embarrassed."

"Yes, haha. I hope Kunpeng 702 is more powerful and can beat Qualcomm APQ 8064. That would be fun."

"Well said, our Nvidia Tegra 3 is replaced by Kunpeng 700, and their Qualcomm APQ 8064 must also be replaced by Kunpeng 702. This is fair. Haha."

Old Huang smiled happily, and his mind was completely opened up.

Now, he doesn’t care at all about Nvidia being beaten and replaced. He just hopes that Qualcomm will also be beaten and replaced!
In a word, I can't be the only one being beaten, if we have to be abused, we have to be abused together!
The press conference continued: "Do you think this is all there is to Kunpeng 700?"

"What else?" Everyone was confused.

CPU and GPU have been released, what else?
Wang Yi smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning, the surprises will continue!"

In an instant, everyone became interested.

But Jacob and Lao Huang became nervous.

Could it be that this guy has another trump card?
Wang Yi said: "At present, in addition to a mobile phone processor chip, there is also an external baseband chip inside the mobile phone."

"Take the iPhone 5 as an example. The A6 processor is 94 square millimeters, and the external baseband is 60 square millimeters. So the total space required is 154 square millimeters, and the power consumption is also higher."

"This is the same solution for all current mobile phones, with a baseband chip plugged into the application chip."

Everyone nodded.

"So, 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, thus greatly reducing the area occupied by the baseband and power consumption."

"For example, the A6 baseband, when integrated into the A6, will reduce the area it occupies 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!"

"This way, it takes up less space, consumes less power, and generates less heat. It can be said that it is a perfect combination of benefits and no harm."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then why not do it?" Wang Yi changed the subject: "Because the technology is not feasible! Integrating the baseband is very difficult."

Everyone suddenly realized and were a little disappointed.

What the hell is this about technology that can’t do it?

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 Jacobs' face changed drastically: "Integrated baseband? We are still developing it, and they have already done it? Impossible!"

Old Huang was also shocked: "Boss Wang, you are so awesome, but you are going to the sky!"

"That's right, 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 of V8 architecture, but also integrates a powerful Wing Loong 3000 full network baseband!"

"This will greatly reduce the space occupied by the phone, leaving more space for heat dissipation and other modules."

"The integrated Pterosaur 3000 baseband is also 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!" There was thunderous applause.

Huang sighed repeatedly, his expression was extremely complicated: "Kunpeng 700 punches 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 terrified!
