Chapter 565: Gao Tong built a tall building, entertained guests, and the building collapsed
There is also a fast charging module. The three 20-watt fast charging chips cost 130 yuan, and the material cost is only three yuan.

The fingerprint module doesn’t cost much, but it’s priced at $130-150!

It’s all huge profits!

This is the significance of launching a motherboard chipset.

It’s hard to say how much money competitors make from a mobile phone, but Wang Yi can make hundreds of dollars from a set of motherboard chipsets.

Especially high-end models, which have higher profits and make more money than selling thousand-yuan phones.

After all, a thousand-yuan phone still needs to import components, mass-produce, distribute, sell, and provide after-sales service...

The motherboard group directly sells design solutions and components in bulk.

The sales process is simple and you can make money quickly.

No wonder Qualcomm in its previous life would rather give up making mobile phones and focus on making chips, because it made more money from chips.

Wang Yi can make a lot of money by selling a chip for 150-300 yuan. After Qualcomm monopolized high-end chips in the past, he could make even more by selling one for 1300+ yuan.

But now, Wang Yi has also experienced Qualcomm's happiness.

If it's just Qualcomm, it will be painful.

After all, the market is so big!

The semiconductor market cake is limited. The more Wang Yi eats, the less is left for Qualcomm and MediaTek.

Since he wanted to kill Qualcomm in advance, Wang Yi would not hold back.

3G chip price reduction, chip tuning service, motherboard kit, big moves in succession!

Next, it depends on how Qualcomm responds.

But unfortunately, Qualcomm is still unaware of Xingyi Technology’s series of big moves.

All the major brands that signed contracts at the trade show tacitly chose to keep their mouths shut.

In the mobile phone industry, time is money.

Making a fortune silently is the way to go.

The customers who attended the trade fair received Xingyi Technology's powerful 4G chips, affordable 3G chips, and motherboard design plans. After returning, they immediately promoted research and development in a low-key manner and strived to achieve mass production as soon as possible.

No one would be stupid enough to spread the news everywhere, allowing more mobile phone manufacturers to know about it, so that they would also place orders and quickly develop new mobile phones based on Xingyi Technology's motherboard group to compete with themselves.

This kind of behavior of aiding the enemy at the expense of oneself and benefiting others is something that no one, whether it is China Cool Alliance, Meimi, O, V, TCL, or LG, HTC, Sony, or BlackBerry, would do.

As a result, all major brands tacitly chose to keep silent about the order volume and details of the trade fair, and quickly formed teams to develop new mobile phones based on the Kunpeng 902 SOC motherboard group and Kunpeng 706 SOC motherboard group.

On the second day, after major brands paid part of the payment, they simultaneously received the motherboard chipset technical solutions and a small number of Kunpeng 706 SOC chips, and could directly start the research and development of new mobile phones.

For subsequent payments, the payment for the second batch of orders will be made in advance after the first batch of chips is delivered.

Therefore, the outside world knows nothing about the transaction situation of the trade fair, but is not optimistic about it.

The public opinion on the Internet is also very negative:
"It's been a day since the Xingyi Semiconductor 3G and 4G chip exhibition ended, and there's not a single piece of news. This is not normal."

"What's abnormal? This is too normal. It must be that the trading volume is too low to be announced."

"I guess so. After all, Xingyi Technology can't support it with only one 4G chip."

"Although I don't want to admit it, this is probably the truth. With only multiple 3G chips and one 4G chip, Xingyi Semiconductor is no match for Qualcomm."

"It's because the sales volume is so bad that no news has been released. If it weren't for this, Xingyi Technology would have already promoted it extensively."

"Ah? No way? Xingyi Technology's trade show has really become a background board for Qualcomm? This is too tragic!"

"As expected, Qualcomm is still powerful, and Xingyi Technology is still far behind."

"This is inevitable. Qualcomm has accumulated more than 20 years of technology. How can Xingyi Technology catch up with it in two or three years? It's a joke."

"That's right. If Xingyi Technology wants to surpass Qualcomm in all aspects, it will take at least seven or eight years."

"Seven or eight years is not enough. Don't forget that while Xingyi Technology is making progress, Qualcomm is also developing rapidly. They won't stand still and wait for you to catch up?"

"Alas, the road to domestic rise is long and arduous. In the next ten years, we still have to rely on Qualcomm!"

Seeing these big germs jumping out again, pointing out the country and writing inspiring words, Jacob couldn't stop smiling:
"Sure enough, our greatest achievement is not how advanced the semiconductor technology is, but the remote farming technology!"

"Look at these big germs... no, these little cuties, they are so good at talking!"

"We don't even need the navy. Hahaha."

The vice president also smiled so hard that his mouth was crooked: "How can the Internet army be as professional as them?"

"The paid navy soldiers are just clichés who do things for money, but these big germs are sincerely praising us, Qualcomm! There is no comparison!"

"Sure enough, our brand building + mental brainwashing + remote breeding, the trinity of cultural invasion strategy layout, was very successful."

Jacob was complacent: "We don't have to do anything, we can just sit back and watch Xingyi Technology make a fool of itself."

"Yeah, Xingyi Technology thought that since its chip shipments were small, it would be alright if it didn't announce the results? This will only lead to an even bigger loss!"

"Wait until tomorrow when Qualcomm's chip exhibition is over and the transaction volume surges. We will announce the results immediately. The difference between Qualcomm's openness and Xingyi Technology's cowardice will be clear!"

"That's right, but will it be okay if Xingyi Technology doesn't release the data? Do you want to force them?"

"Push me? That's fine. A good play always needs a villain, and Xingyi Technology is our villain."

Jacob smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Chairman, we can do this... this..."

Jacob nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining: "Okay, very good, let's do it!"

"Xingyi Technology wants to hide away, but we won't let them hide away, hahahaha!"

Qualcomm then took immediate action.

Xingyi Technology Headquarters.

George was puzzled by the comments of these big germs:

"Aren't they compatriots? Why don't they support Xingyi Technology? Instead, they are praising Qualcomm and belittling Xingyi Technology?"

"Is it because Qualcomm is so powerful? But it has been surpassed by Xingyi Semiconductor."

“How can you not support domestic enterprises and instead praise foreign enterprises?”

"This unscientific!"

In response to George's soul-searching questions, Zhu Changlin and Zhang Chao remained silent.

Even Wang Yi didn't know what to say.

He had no choice but to say: "Some things are complicated. We can only wait for time to solve everything, but this is too slow. For this reason, we need to use our absolute strength to surpass Qualcomm's strength in all aspects to crush Qualcomm's chips, crush the Big Germ's faith, and crush everything!"

George nodded: "Okay, then I will start the research and development of the next generation of chips!"

鲲鹏902研发成功之后，乔治团队便停了下来，开始对于鲲鹏500、鲲鹏506、鲲鹏702进行28纳米和4G的升级研发，做出了鲲鹏505、鲲鹏508、鲲鹏706！

Now that everything is done, after a short break, we will start research and development of the next generation of chips.

After all, Zhang Chao's team is already developing the next-generation chip Kunpeng 906, and it is nearing completion.

Kunpeng 906 SOC and Kunpeng 906C will be available for tape-out next month.

If there are no problems, mass production will begin in December.

In this case, George's team should also start research and development of a new generation of chips.

Only by moving forward can we ensure continued leadership.

What Wang Yi can do is to use the information gap to help George and Zhang Chao eliminate the wrong routes and pitfalls on their way forward.

For example, the big pit that caused Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, Snapdragon 810, and Snapdragon 820 to fail successively could have been avoided directly by Xingyi Semiconductor in the early stages of R&D planning!
But Qualcomm needs three years and three generations of products to try and make mistakes one by one!

"The next generation chip, internally codenamed Kunpeng 910, still uses the 28-nanometer process." Wang Yi said, looking at George: "What are your plans for Kunpeng 910?"

George took out his notebook and said, "Chairman, Kunpeng 906 is already an eight-core A53 2.0G main frequency. To put it bluntly, we have already reached the extreme in the A53 architecture and cannot continue to upgrade."

"As for upgrading to a ten-core A53 and raising the main frequency to 2.3G... it doesn't make much sense."

"Kunpeng 910 SOC must have A57 big core!"

Wang Yi and Zhang Chao nodded, this was inevitable.

乔治继续道：“现在主流的八核心架构，4个A57加上4个A53小核，但是我担心28纳米压不住。有可能翻车。”

Wang Yi said decisively: "28 nanometers will definitely not be able to support four A57 cores. Don't even think about it!"

"So the problem is complicated. If we don't use the A57 big core and only use the A53 small core, the performance will not be improved, and it will be useless to make it ten cores. If we use the A57 big core, 28nm can't control it!"

Seeing George frowning, Wang Yi also fell into deep thought.

4个A57加上4个A53小核，别说28纳米压不住，连20纳米都压不住。

前世骁龙810就是20纳米工艺，4个A57加上4个A53小核，结果翻车翻得没法看了，实际性能还不如上上代的骁龙801！

Four A57 cores, 20nm process failed so badly. If 28nm process is used, it will be even worse. I don't know how it died.

But without the A57 big core, the performance is indeed not good.

Difficult!

Wang Yi sighed: "If we use the six-core architecture of Kunpeng 902, four A53 small cores + two A57 large cores, the main frequency of the large cores should be lower."

"Six-core architecture..."

George and Zhang Chao both fell into deep thought. Although it did not conform to the mainstream model of 8-core architecture, it was also an idea!

“28nm cannot support four A4 cores, but for dual-core A57, if the main frequency is lowered a bit, there is still hope.”

George thought: "If we increase the A53's main frequency to 2.3 GHz, four high-frequency A4 small cores can handle most daily applications."

"When playing large-scale games, the A53 can't handle it anymore, so we turn on an A57 large core. It has strong performance and can control the heat. When an A57 overheats, we can turn it off and replace it with another A57 large core. In this way, the two A57 large cores are turned on alternately, thereby reducing heat and power consumption. As for turning on all six cores, it is only used when running scores."

In fact, mobile phones don’t consume much CPU, but more GPU.

Even when playing games, it mainly relies on the GPU.

The full six-core mode is only needed when running benchmarks. In daily use, the full six-core mode is hardly needed.

Wang Yi nodded: "This is a good design. It uses four A53 small cores + two A57 large cores."

Afterwards, several people discussed the main frequency again. Finally, they decided that the Kunpeng 910 SOC CPU would use a quad-core A53 2.3 GHz + a dual-core A57 1.7 GHz.

The quad-core A53 small core has low power consumption and low heat generation. It will not generate too much heat and consume too little power even when the high frequency reaches 2.3G. It can cope with most application scenarios and is a main player.

The A57 generates a lot of heat. Even though it has two cores, in most cases only one of them is turned on, and it still generates a lot of heat. Therefore, the main frequency is limited to 1.7G for fear of overheating, which the 28nm process cannot control.

It can be said that Wang Yi’s requirements for Kunpeng 910’s CPU module are very pure, and must be very restrained and conservative!

从骁龙810的四核2.0G的A57，缩减到双核A57，主频也降低到1.7G。

In fact, this architecture is the same as Snapdragon 808, but the A57 main frequency is lower than the 808GHz of Snapdragon 2.

There is no way. The Snapdragon 808 is based on a 20nm process, while the Kunpeng 910 is based on a 28nm process, so the main frequency of the large core has to be further weakened.

What's more, the CPU has excess performance, and the 1.7G main frequency is sufficient. If it is higher, it will easily fail.

等到14纳米工艺突破，上4核A57+4核A53都没问题，但28纳米压不住。

"What about the GPU part?" Wang Yi continued to ask.

George had considered this a long time ago: "The GPU of Kunpeng 906 is Mali-T658 mp6, a six-core GPU. Kunpeng 910 must be significantly upgraded. Even if it is upgraded to Mali-T658 mp8, an eight-core GPU, the improvement is not significant. I suggest directly using ARM's latest high-end GPU architecture, Mali-T760, to achieve MP6, a six-core GPU!"

Zhang Chao also agrees: "Compared to the eight-core GPU of Mali-T658 mp8, Mali-T760 mp6 only has six cores, but its architecture is more advanced, its performance is stronger, and its energy efficiency is higher. If Mali-T760 had not just been released, our Kunpeng 906 should have directly used Mali-T760 mp4!"

"Then use Mali-T760 mp6, a six-core GPU." Wang Yi made the final decision:
“而且和Mali-T658最多8核不同，Mali-T760作为最新的高端GPU架构，最多可以做到16核！咱们鲲鹏910用Mali-T760 MP6六核，积累经验，下一代鲲鹏920直接用Mali-T760 MP10十核，甚至12核。”

Kunpeng 910 is now under development and will be available on the market next fall if things go well.

The Kunpeng 920 began development in the second half of 2014 and was launched in the first half of 2015.

The GPU must use Mali-T760.

As for ARM's next-generation GPU Mali-T880 and CPU A72 architecture, they were only released in early 2015 and can only be used in Kunpeng 930.

More importantly, Mali-T760 has up to 16 cores. Once you master this, you can then add more cores and make a series of upgraded models.

Of course, this is just a preliminary plan. Wang Yi may make some adjustments later and will not release two flagship chips every year.

On the contrary, Wang Yi plans to let George's team continue to advance the research and development of a new flagship chip every year.

Zhang Chao’s team stopped and started developing their own architecture!
Companies like Qualcomm and Apple both use their own independent architecture. Although it is a pseudo-independent architecture based on Arm's magic modification, it is indeed more powerful than the public version architecture in the future.

And Xingyi Technology also has to develop its own architecture.

However, the difference is that Wang Yi’s research and development is not based on ARM’s modified pseudo-independent architecture, but starts from the bottom up, developing his own instruction set and his own architecture!

In the past few years, we will first use ARM's V8 instruction set and public version architecture to accumulate experience, and then abandon ARM, independently develop instruction sets, and independently develop new architectures. This is the right way.

Especially after the XOS system becomes bigger, there will be no problems with its independent instruction set and independent architecture.

After all, Wang Yi has obtained the permanent license for the ARM V8 architecture, but what about the future V9 architecture?
Once the technology war breaks out, Xingyi Technology will definitely not be able to obtain the V9 architecture license.

Competitors are all using the V9 architecture, but Xingyi Technology is still using the V8 architecture, which is far behind.

Instead of doing this, Wang Yi might as well conduct comprehensive self-research in advance and develop his own instruction set and his own architecture!
And this heavy burden still falls on Zhang Chao.

However, it will inevitably take a lot of time for Zhang Chao's team to develop a completely new independent instruction set and architecture.

Not to mention one year, it may take two or three years to produce results.

But it’s okay, Wang Yi can wait.

At that time, let George's team continue to develop ARM V8 architecture chips, maintain normal updates and upgrades, and not delay their use.

The year after next... No, this has to start as soon as possible!
After Zhang Chao’s team finished Kunpeng 906, they began to develop independent architecture and instruction set!
That’s right, start at the end of this year or the beginning of next year!
It’s better to do this sooner rather than later.

The subsequent Kunpeng 910, 920, and 930 were all handed over to George.

Zhang Chao's team has spent the past few years developing Xingyi Technology's own instruction set and architecture!
Although it is difficult, it is essential.

Even if it takes three years to complete, it will be worth it!

In this way, even if it was completely defeated in 2017-2018, Xingyi Technology could use its self-developed architecture and instruction set to turn the table over and give the global semiconductor giants two slaps in the face!
Let Lao Mi stare in amazement!
However, Wang Yi did not speak out these plans directly.

Take your time.

The most critical task for Zhang Chao’s team right now is the research and development of Kunpeng 906. Once Kunpeng 906 is completed, they will immediately start developing their own architecture and instruction set based on the XOS system.

Once this instruction set and architecture are developed, it will not only be usable on mobile phones, tablets, and TVs, but also on PCs.

By that time, the XOS system ecosystem will have been gradually improved, and the PC side can also use XOS system applications, even if they are not compatible with Windows.

If we have to cut, then cut completely and replace completely.

Although the technological war has not yet begun, Wang Yi has already begun to prepare for it.

If we wait until the technology war breaks out and we are hit hard before starting to prepare, it will be too late and too passive.

As a reborn person, if I were to be that passive, it would be a real failure.

On the contrary, Wang Yi will start talking about the three to four years of planning at the end of this year!

Just as Wang Yi was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Jian Ziyan walked in: "Chairman, Qualcomm is making trouble again."

"Oh, what did they say again?" Wang Yi became interested.

The higher Qualcomm jumps now, the harder it will fall tomorrow!
"Qualcomm is promoting tomorrow's chip trade show, as if it is sure to win. It also said that Qualcomm is full of confidence and open, and will directly invite major media to attend the trade show next year to witness it."

"He also said that he would announce the chip sales volume on the spot, and all users and fans would witness together the glory of Qualcomm chip sales and the full arrival of the 4G era."

"Invite all major media to witness and announce the sales volume on the spot..."

Wang Yi laughed: "Hahaha, Qualcomm is really confident, too confident."

George was also in a good mood: "Yeah, these idiots don't know that we have already won a large number of orders. When the media attends tomorrow, if the transaction volume is not good in the end, Qualcomm will be embarrassed."

"Haha, the transaction volume will definitely not be good. After all, we have already won over most of the customers, and Qualcomm can only eat soup."

Zhang Chao laughed and said, "It's just a pity that they are still taking soup as meat!"

Jian Ziyan nodded: "Is that so? Then we won't reply?"

"No, reply. Must reply!" Wang Yi said with a smile.

"How do you reply?"

“I wish Qualcomm chips will sell well!”

Wang Yi is full of sincerity.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Chao and George burst into laughter. They all knew Wang Yi's plan.

This is not a blessing at all, it is a complete murder.

"Okay, Chairman, I'll arrange it right away." Jian Ziyan responded quickly with a wonderful expression.

Just waiting to witness Qualcomm building a tall building, entertaining guests, and waiting for the building to collapse...

Soon, the official account of Xingyi Technology released a message:
【Congratulations on Qualcomm's trade show, and hope its chips will sell well! 】

As soon as this news came out, the whole network was shocked and everyone was stunned:

"What is Mr. Wang doing? He doesn't announce his own sales volume and wishes Qualcomm chips a big sale?"

"I don't understand. I don't understand at all."

"Could it be that Mr. Wang has admitted defeat and is no longer interested in competing with Qualcomm? Is he asking for a draw?"

"That's not the case. Apple and Samsung couldn't make Mr. Wang bow his head. What does a mere Qualcomm count for?"

"What? Qualcomm isn't better than Samsung?"

"You are talking nonsense. Qualcomm is only better than Samsung in SOC chip research and development, but when it comes to chip production, mobile phone production, storage chip research and development and mass production, screen research and development and mass production, etc., Samsung is top-notch. What is Qualcomm?"

"Yes, Samsung is so versatile. When will our country be able to produce such a powerful company?"

"Not bowing to Qualcomm? Then why are you sending such sincere blessings?"

"The fewer words there are, the bigger the matter is. There is something behind this. We will know the result tomorrow."

"However, Qualcomm was really open and directly invited the media to attend and displayed the transaction volume on the spot, unlike Xingyi Technology, which was hiding it."

"There's nothing I can do. What if I don't hide it? With such a small trading volume, it would be a joke if it was announced!"

……

Looking at these public opinions, Lei Jun laughed dumbly: "Qualcomm, Qualcomm, this time it's going to make a fool of itself."

Old Huang also had a complicated expression: "Everyone thought that Xingyi Technology's trade show was a joke, but it was actually a big bomb. On the other hand, everyone thought that Qualcomm's trade show was a big bomb, but it turned out to be a big one!"

"Hahaha, times have changed!" Lao Bai was also full of emotion.

"Fortunately, we transformed early and directly gave up Samsung processors and chose Xingyi Technology, otherwise we would be in big trouble."

"Yes, even Qualcomm is no match for Xingyi Technology, let alone Samsung!"

Qualcomm headquarters.

Seeing the sudden blessing from Xingyi Technology, everyone at Qualcomm was stunned.

"Xingyi Technology wishes us big sales of chips!"

Jacob muttered to himself, "What kind of routine is this?"

"This strategy is not included in the Thirty-Six Stratagems!"

Others also shook their heads:

"I can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out."

"But judging from Wang Yi's attitude, I won't sincerely wish him well."

Jacob sighed: "No matter what, tomorrow's trade show will be a highlight in the history of Qualcomm's chip development, and it will also be the beginning of Xingyi Semiconductor's tragedy."

"Does Xingyi Technology need a reply?"

"I have to reply. I have to be polite. I will reply. I thank Xingyi Technology for its blessing and look forward to the exchange of results at the Xingyi Semiconductor Exhibition..."

"Exchange of results? Forcing Xingyi Technology to publicly announce its sales volume?"
