Chapter 562: The End of the Sailing, the King Returns

Chapter 562: After all the sails have passed, the king returns (asking for monthly tickets)
"Without mid-range or low-end 4G chips, Xingyi Technology is also following Qualcomm's lead in holding a trade show. This is bound to be a joke."

"4G is coming at the end of the year, who would still buy 3G chips?"

"It's meaningless to say that we are far ahead all day long. Xingyi Technology cannot be obsessed with its current achievements. We need to work harder to catch up with Qualcomm!"

Looking at these remarks, Qualcomm Chairman Jacob laughed:

"The eyes of the masses are sharp. Look, even these big germs..."

"No, these dear netizens all said so, which shows that the public is not optimistic about the Xingyi Technology No. 3 exhibition."

"Hahaha!" The other senior executives all burst into laughter:
"That's right. It would be fine if Xingyi Technology just cowered down and admitted defeat, but they actually wanted to confront us head-on! Aren't they asking for trouble?"

"We have four grades of Qualcomm 4G chips: high-end, mid-range, low-end, and entry-level. They only have one. How can we compete head-on? It's ridiculous."

"I think it's because Kunpeng 902 was too successful that Xingyi Technology expanded to the point where it lost its name."

"Hahaha, that should be the case, otherwise they wouldn't have held the sales conference on the 3rd, bringing shame upon themselves!"

Jacob nodded. "It's good this way. The more obvious the contrast, the more it will make mobile phone manufacturers, users, and people from all walks of life realize the gap in strength. They will realize Qualcomm's terrifying background in the chip field and its ability to crush Xingyi Technology!"

"Yes, otherwise, if the Kunpeng 902 SOC surpassed the Snapdragon 800 by chance, people would mistakenly think that Qualcomm is really not as good as Xingyi Technology!"

"That's good. Xingyi Technology's suicidal behavior directly proves Qualcomm's strength and foundation. It also makes those big customers know who they should follow in this chip war!"

"Chip manufacturers that support Qualcomm will be able to enjoy the first release of chips in the future. Those that don't... humph, if you want to support it in the future, you will have to queue up!"

"That's right. People always have to pay for their mistakes, and the same goes for major mobile phone manufacturers."

"Especially those manufacturers who gave up Snapdragon 800 and chose to buy Kunpeng 902 SOC, remember them and settle accounts with them one by one later! In the future, they will not be the first to launch Qualcomm chips!"

Jacob nodded: "That's a good idea, let's do it!"

Jian Ziyan was very angry about these public opinions:

"These people are really something. They just can't stand seeing domestic products doing well. When we didn't make any breakthroughs, they said we were not good enough. Now that we have made breakthroughs and surpassed Qualcomm, they say we haven't surpassed them in all aspects and are proud and complacent."

"You've been kneeling for so long that you can't stand up anymore?"

Zhu Changlin was also very angry: "Big germs, a bunch of big germs! The difference is that others are colonized by body, but they are colonized by mind. These guys just can't stand seeing the domestic products being better! Despicable bones!"

“Not to mention that domestically made products are leading in all aspects and have surpassed Qualcomm, even if they are not leading in all aspects and are still catching up, they are worthy of recognition and support!”

"Does it mean that they will only be happy if domestic production is blank, has no output at all, lags behind in all aspects, and is completely dependent on foreign companies?"

"The more national, the more international, they don't even understand this truth?"

"What a jerk, you big bastard!"

Listening to the two people's angry words, Wang Yi was used to it.

This kind of thing is too common.

In his previous life, Huazi carried the banner of domestic products and marched forward amidst the storm.

Even though it was hammered, it had to use 7nm process to mass-produce flagship chips. Although its running points are not as good as Apple and Qualcomm's 3nm and 4nm chips, the actual experience is not inferior.

But what do some netizens say?
Saying that their performance is poor!
Is the performance really that bad?
The 9020 played Genshin Impact for two hours at a high temperature of 27 degrees, with 60 frames of high quality and the plug turned off. The whole time, it maintained about 50 frames, and the temperature was mostly maintained at around 37-40 degrees.

Even the iPhone 16 pro can’t achieve this kind of performance, right?
In an environment of 27 degrees, playing Genshin Impact with high graphics for two hours on iPhone 16 pro is so hot that it can kill people. The core has been locked and the frequency has been reduced, and the performance is poor.

8gen2 can't do it either.

At 27 degrees Celsius, many 8gen3 phones may not be able to perform so well in high-definition Genshin Impact for two hours in a row.

The 7nm 9020 actually outperforms the 3nm A18 pro, and is on par with Qualcomm's 4nm flagship chip 8gne 3. However, netizens not only do not encourage or support it, but instead use running scores to say that the performance is poor!
This is either stupid or bad!

Don’t you know that running scores don’t represent actual performance?
Do you know if the running score can be corrected overnight for the bug of XX brand that is too high?
It is typical that they cannot stand seeing domestic products being good, progressing, or excelling!

Wang Yi didn't know what to say.

"This kind of prejudice that is deeply rooted in our bones may only be completely burned away by a raging wildfire in the city."

Wang Yi sighed: "It doesn't matter, let these netizens say whatever they want, we don't need to care."

"Wait until the chip exhibition on the 3rd, and they will be able to dazzle their eyes."

"Yes, at the trade show, after seeing so many powerful 4G chips from us, they realized what a joke it was to have favored Qualcomm!"

Zhu Changlin smiled and said that he was looking forward to the trade fair.

Wang Yi was very calm: "Let it happen naturally, no matter what they say. Our goal is to kill Qualcomm!"

"Before the technology war breaks out, Qualcomm should be killed first. In this way, when the technology war breaks out, Xiaomi will have one less support and one less trump card!"

This is what Wang Yi pursues.

The simplest thing is, if Qualcomm collapses, how will Xiaomi fight the technology war? The semiconductor war?
Even if there were alternatives, the losses would be huge.

Just like drones ten years later, China will be in the first echelon in all aspects.

It’s okay for the US to take any action and impose sanctions on drones at will, and it’s meaningless.

Because their drones are terrible, the technology is average, but the cost is extremely high.

They were thinking of attacking our drones, but we attacked them back, restricting them completely and making it difficult for them to move.

Similarly, after defeating Qualcomm, it will be difficult for Xiaomi to fight in the chip war or the semiconductor war.

I have no weapon in my hand.

Wang Yi changed the subject and asked, "How is the development of the motherboard chipset going?"

"It's still being promoted, but there is a problem. There are too many types of chips. For each type, we need to develop a motherboard chipset, and we have to make two sets, one for our own use and one for third parties..."

Zhu Changlin frowned and said, "This will increase the workload a lot."

"Two sets?" Wang Yi smiled. "We don't need to make two sets. We can just make one set. For example, for the Kunpeng 902 SOC motherboard chipset, we use the design of the xphone 3 and xphone 3plus as a public version. We use it first, then take it out, make appropriate modifications, and sell it to a third party as a public version motherboard chipset."

"There is also the Unbounded 1 motherboard chipset, which is sold to third parties as the Kunpeng 500 motherboard chipset."

"Will this lead to...leakage..." Zhu Changlin was a little worried.

"No, it doesn't matter." Wang Yi waved his hand:
"Do you think if we don't use it as a public version motherboard, it won't be leaked?"

"No, every time we release a new phone, our major competitors will immediately buy it, disassemble it, and reverse engineer it for all-round research. No matter how secretive we keep it, they will know the motherboard design inside out."

Zhu Changlin nodded: "Indeed, not only domestic brands are doing this, but also overseas brands. They are all disassembling our phones and doing reverse engineering."

"So, it doesn't matter. Instead of having it disassembled and reverse-engineered for free, why don't we just take it out and make it into a public version motherboard and sell it to a third party? We can still make some money and it won't affect us."

"Will it not affect us?" Zhu Changlin was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Time difference!"

"That's right, it's the time difference!" Wang Yi said with a smile:
"For example, the Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus were released in September. After the release, we launched the 9 SOC motherboard chipset service to third-party customers. Third-party customers purchased all the supporting chips and equipment of our motherboard set to develop their flagship mobile phones. It takes at least three months to develop and release them, and four months to successfully launch them, which is January next year."

"In just four months, we have sold tens of millions of Xphone 4 and Xphone 3 Plus. They are not affected at all. Even the next generation of new phones is coming soon."

Zhu Changlin suddenly realized: "Indeed, the impact is not significant. Coupled with the monopoly advantage of the XOS system, the impact is even less. But will third-party brands accept such a plan?"

Wang Yi did not answer directly, but asked: "If you don't accept it, how long do you think it will take for a third-party brand to develop a flagship phone like the Xphone 3, with 20W fast charging, fingerprint sensor, and Kunpeng 902 SOC?"

"Big brands take at least half a year to develop and seven or eight months to market! Small brands take a year!"

"That's it!" Wang Yi said with a smile, "They develop their own products, and big brands need seven or eight months to launch new products. Small brands need a year. With our solution, new products can be launched in four or five months, saving time and effort, and can be launched earlier. How could they refuse?"

Wang Yi knows very well that what these mobile phone manufacturers like most is to save trouble.

Forget about buying a motherboard design, I would rather buy the entire machine design and have it branded!

Even several brands jointly purchase a set of public mold designs and then use them for OEM.

Bottom line?

The bottom line in the mobile phone industry is that there is no bottom line!

The problem is that it’s not just one brand that does this, it’s the majority of brands that do this.

There is no other way. For example, low- and mid-end mobile phones cost a few hundred to over a thousand yuan, and several models are released every year. If they were all independently developed from start to finish, and a full-staffed R&D team worked hard for half a year to a year on each model, how many R&D teams would that require?

Can't afford to burn it.

So everyone turns to companies like Wingtech and buys public mold designs, which saves a lot of trouble.

As for requiring all mobile phones to be independently developed and not designed using public models...

That can only be said to be too naive and completely unrealistic.

Even if this is really achieved, the replacement speed of mid- and low-end mobile phones will be greatly reduced, and the prices will increase significantly. There is nothing that can be done about it.

"According to this case, the design of the public mold motherboard is indeed much simpler. We can just modify our previous mobile phone motherboards and use them as the public mold. Moreover, major brands will not refuse. Based on the public mold of the motherboard, we can conduct other research and development designs and make our own mobile phones. This can indeed greatly reduce the difficulty of research and development and greatly shorten the research and development time." Zhu Changlin said.

Wang Yi nodded: "This is our core competitiveness that will kill Qualcomm!"

The 64-bit advantage and performance advantage of Kunpeng chip can crush Qualcomm processors.

The tuning service can also crush Qualcomm processors.

But that alone is not enough!
It still can't kill Qualcomm. Add the motherboard chipset design service, and that's enough!

This will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
However, there are also limitations when selling chipset designs.

Wang Yi continued, “So, at the press conference on the third day, we will first showcase some motherboard chipset designs and sell them to third-party brands.”

"Then we can take out a lot of motherboard sets." Zhu Changlin said with a smile:

"The Kunpeng 3 chipset of xphone 3 and xphone 902plus, the Kunpeng 2 chipset of xphone 2 and xphone 702pro, the Kunpeng 1 chipset of xphone 700 pro, the Kunpeng 1 chipset of xphone 506, and the Kunpeng 1 chipset of the first generation of the Unlimited can all be used directly! But some of them still need to be upgraded to add fingerprint recognition!"

Wang Yi nodded: "That's fine. These are all already launched phones, so it won't make a difference. But there will be certain restrictions on the prices of flagship chips and sub-flagship chipsets."

"For example, the Kunpeng 3 SOC motherboard chipset of the xphone 902 will be limited to a price of more than 3000 yuan!"

"Kunpeng 706 SOC motherboard chipset design, limited to 1999 or above."

"The rest don't matter. Most of the old 3G flagship models will be discontinued next year anyway."

"Okay, then I'll make a few sets as soon as possible and No. 3 can use them directly!" Zhu Changlin said.

Wang Yi nodded: "Okay, get the motherboard chipset of Kunpeng 902, and also the motherboard chipset of Kunpeng 706!"

"Are you also going to bring out the Kunpeng 706 chipset?" Zhu Changlin was shocked: "Chairman, the Unbounded Note equipped with Kunpeng 706 has not been released yet. If you bring it out directly, will it..."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Xphone 3 and Xphone 3plus are selling so well that the release of the Unbounded Note has been postponed to December. It just so happens that the domestic government announced the launch of 12G in December. As a mid-range 12G phone, the Unbounded Note will be released at this time to have a good start in the new year!"

"We are selling the Kunpeng 706 sub-flagship motherboard chipset to third-party brands in advance. This is also our sincerity, allowing all major friendly companies to develop as soon as possible and release the Kunpeng 706 sub-flagship mobile phone as soon as possible next year! The Unbounded Note is positioned in the mid-range and is not afraid of competition."

Zhu Changlin understood what Wang Yi meant: "Yes, if Xingyi Technology spent half a year using all the motherboards and chips before selling them to third-party brands, the third-party brands would want to curse and would not resolutely give up Qualcomm and choose us."

"Yes, that's right. In the future, after we successfully develop our new chips and new motherboard groups, we can sell them to third parties simultaneously. This way, we will be able to launch them two or three months earlier than third parties. These two or three months are enough for us to be ahead. And third-party brands can shorten their research and development time by two or three months with our motherboard groups, greatly reducing the difficulty of research and development. Naturally, they have no objection." Wang Yi said meaningfully.

This is also preparing for Plan B.

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

It’s no problem if Xingyi mobile phones continue to sell well in the future, as the sales of their own products will be sufficient.

But if we really get hammered and sales plummet, we will have to prepare a fallback and start plan B - turning to OEM.

That’s right, if the company is hit hard and sales drop drastically, so many mobile phone production lines and chip production lines cannot remain idle and must quickly switch to OEM for third-party brands.

Today's chip sales, motherboard chipset design services, etc. are all preparations for this step.

Even if you don't use it, that's best.

If it really comes to this, it is a way out.

Wang Yi must be well prepared and become the indestructible cockroach!

No matter how difficult the future may be, we will eventually overcome all difficulties and return as the king!
At the same time, all major mobile phone brands also received formal invitations with complicated expressions.

3号星逸半导体3G、4G芯片展销会,5号高通4G芯片展销会!
Such tit-for-tat is too obvious in its meaning, and it is almost forcing major mobile phone manufacturers to take sides.

In response to this, most of the CEOs of major mobile phone manufacturers directly decided to participate in both sides, see the strength of each side, and then choose the right time to bet.

Those who can become bosses are all smart people and naturally understand the meaning of balance.

Nvidia's mobile chips are about to collapse, and Qualcomm is the only one left in the market. That's not acceptable.

Once one company dominates the market, prices will eventually rise wildly, and the major mobile phone manufacturers will suffer in the end.

Any entrepreneur with a brain can figure this out.

Therefore, they decided to participate in the Xingyi Semiconductor trade show. No matter what, they had to support Xingyi Semiconductor so that it could survive and compete with Qualcomm.

For example, a large number of brands purchased Kunpeng 902 this time. One reason is that Kunpeng 902 is powerful enough and more compatible with Xingyi's 20W fast charging. Another reason is to use Xingyi Technology to balance Qualcomm and prevent one company from dominating the market!
Major brands have set off for the imperial capital to participate in Xingyi Technology's chip exhibition.

Early in the morning on the 3rd, most domestic mobile phone manufacturers had arrived, and many overseas manufacturers had also arrived.

Not only Sony has arrived, but also brands such as Sharp, LG, and BlackBerry have also arrived.

It can be seen that these brands are also very interested in Xingyi Technology's chips and do not want to rely solely on Qualcomm.

It can be said that except for Apple and Samsung, almost all other mainstream brands are here.

As for Nokia, it is currently in talks with Microsoft about a sale, but the deal has not been finalized yet, so we cannot worry about it for now.

Wang Yi doesn't care about Nokia. Once Microsoft acquires it, Nokia will completely switch to the WP8 system and go downhill rapidly.

It will be finished in a few years. It won’t be able to sell many products, and it won’t be able to buy many chips.

To put it bluntly, Nokia will not be as powerful as domestic manufacturers in the future.

Soon, the trade fair began, and Wang Yi walked onto the stage:

“We would like to thank domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers for participating in Xingyi Semiconductor’s 3G and 4G chip exhibition.”

"First of all, at this trade show, there are four 3G chips that have been launched, all of which have integrated 3G basebands, have good performance and high cost performance!"

"It is true that China will also start developing 4G next year, but it is undeniable that 3G phones will still account for the largest proportion next year, especially mid- and low-end models."

"This is not only true for Xia Country, but also for the whole world."

"In many countries in Europe and the US, 4G has been around for many years, but 3G phones still account for a large proportion!"

Everyone nodded, this was an indisputable fact.

"This shows that 4G is developing very fast, but its popularity is very slow."

"For this reason, we can make a conclusion that the proportion of high-end 4G mobile phones in the Chinese market may reach 4% next summer. However, the proportion of mid- and low-end 4G mobile phones will only be 2%, and the remaining 8% of mid- and low-end mobile phones are 3G phones!"

"Very likely!" Lei Jun nodded repeatedly.

Old Huang also said: "4G packages are expensive. Not many people will use them the year after next, let alone next year. Especially for the mid-to-low-end, 3G is still more cost-effective."

The president of ZTE Mobile also nodded: "Yes, those who can afford the high-priced 4G packages first will naturally have the ability to buy high-end mobile phones. Next year, low-end and mid-end mobile phones will still be dominated by 3G."

Wang Yi continued: "Overseas 4G has been developed for many years, the situation may be better, but 3G mobile phones account for more than 5%."

"Therefore, the mainstream chips for mid- and low-end mobile phones are still 3G chips. For this reason, we have specially opened a 3G chip exhibition and reduced prices across the board!"

"Kunpeng 702 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order of 300 million, 240 yuan. Minimum order of 500 million, 230 yuan."

"Kunpeng 700 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order of 300 million, 210 yuan. Minimum order of 500 million, 200 yuan."

"Kunpeng 506 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order of 300 million, 180 yuan. Minimum order of 500 million, 170 yuan."

"Kunpeng 500 SOC, 64-bit chip, integrated 3G baseband, minimum order of 300 million, 150 yuan. Minimum order of 500 million, 140 yuan."

"Everyone knows the performance of the above chips. Without the 64-bit bonus, they are ahead of Qualcomm's processors of the same level. Once the Android 64-bit system is launched next year, with the 64-bit bonus, they will be able to beat Qualcomm chips across generations."

"For example, the Kunpeng 702 SOC, without the 64-bit bonus, surpasses the Snapdragon 600 of the same generation. With the 64-bit bonus, it crushes the Snapdragon 800!"

"All prices are now reduced and all price restrictions have been removed. Welcome to place your order."

Hearing this, all major manufacturers were moved:
"Although it is a 3G chip, the price has been reduced a lot and the performance is also strong enough!"

"Kunpeng 702 used to cost 500 yuan for a minimum order of 260 million yuan, but now it only costs 230 yuan, which is cheaper than Snapdragon 600."

"And there is no price limit. If it is used to make a mid-range mobile phone in the 2000 yuan range, then it is totally possible."

"Of course it can. It's a 64-bit chip with upgrade potential. It's priced lower than the Snapdragon 600 and will have performance comparable to the Snapdragon 800 in the future!"

"There is no need to use Kunpeng 2000 for a mid-range phone priced around 902 yuan. Kunpeng 702 is very good."

"Kunpeng 500 is also good for a thousand-yuan phone. And Kunpeng 506, which is priced around 1500 yuan, will definitely be a hot seller!"

"4G will just start in China next year, so there's really no need to rush to upgrade to 2000G for phones priced below 4 yuan. 3G is more cost-effective."

"For the same cost and price, 3G high performance is better than 4G low performance!"

"Yes, and isn't it much better for Xingyi Technology to provide tuning than for us to tune Qualcomm chips ourselves? Hahaha."

Wang Yi continued: "In addition to 4 3G chips, we also provide 4 4G chips!"

"???"

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Old Huang grinned: "How many? Four 4G chips? Are you sure there are more than one?"

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, four 4G chips."

Lei Jun was also stunned: "It's already been done? Are you sure it's not a PPT?"

Wang Yi smiled and said, “It has already been mass-produced.”

Silence!

The whole scene was silent!
Everyone thought that Xingyi Technology only had one 4G chip and that this trade show would become a joke.
