Chapter 585 Fire Dragon 805 released!

Jacob was furious: "Franz Quentin, that bastard, actually joined Xingyi Technology and became the vice president of Xingyi International. He even won a huge order of 3000 million chips for Xingyi Technology!"

"Farke! Farke!"

“This guy is so abominable!”

"A huge order of 30 million chips, with a profit of at least billion!"

"Franz Quentin was trained by Qualcomm, but he joined Xingyi Technology!"

"They are also stealing our Qualcomm orders and generating revenue for Xingyi Technology!"

"LG's 2000 million TV chip orders should have gone to our Snapdragon 600!"

"Snapdragon 600 has no baseband, which makes it perfect for TVs. But now it has been taken over by Franz Quentin and given to Xingyi Technology!"

"What a waste of time raising a wolf!"

"Damn it!"

"It's damned!"

Hearing this, other senior executives were also filled with righteous indignation and spoke up one after another:
"I've said it before, Franz Quentin is an undercover agent sent by Xingyi Technology, deliberately harming Qualcomm. You didn't believe it then, but you believe it now, right? This guy is a traitor!"

"That's right. He had previously lobbied TSMC to cut off the supply of 40-nanometer Kunpeng chips, saying that it was to hit Xingyi Technology. Now it seems that this guy already knew that Xingyi Technology had prepared a full range of 28-nanometer new products and was just waiting to transition to 28-nanometer. He deliberately set up this trap to cause Qualcomm to suffer heavy losses."

"And when he was the HR director at Qualcomm, he let a lot of people off the hook, which led to the core R&D engineers and even the backbone architects being poached without even signing a non-compete agreement. Damn it!"

It is worth mentioning that some non-compete agreements are signed when joining the company, while others are signed when leaving the company.

In particular, when many people first join the company, they are just ordinary R&D positions, so they naturally do not need to sign. After a few years of development, they become core R&D positions, so they have to sign again when they leave.

As for quitting without signing, that is also difficult.

The engineers who are leaving now were all trained by Qualcomm. Most of them have contracts and need to pay liquidated damages if they leave early.

If you want to avoid paying liquidated damages, you must sign a non-compete agreement to ensure that you will not enter a competitor's business.

"Franz Quentin just let it go. He didn't sign a non-compete agreement, and he didn't have to pay the penalty. He just resigned. He is definitely an undercover agent! An undercover agent of Xingyi Technology!"

"Alas, we all know that he is an undercover agent, but what can we do?"

"We have investigated Franz Quentin thoroughly, but we have found nothing. It is really frustrating."

"No, I can't swallow this. Can you swallow it?"

Everyone shook their heads collectively: "Of course we can't swallow it!"

"Franz Quentin must pay the price, Xingyi Semiconductor must pay the price!"

"But how can we make them pay the price?"

Everyone fell into silence. Then one person said, "Release Snapdragon 805 immediately and use it to crush Kunpeng 805!"

"That's right. This year our Snapdragon 800 lost to Kunpeng 902, and % of the chip orders were taken away by Xingyi Technology. But next year, we must grab next year's flagship chip orders! Get back all the customers and orders we lost!"

"Yes, since Snapdragon 800 is no match for Kunpeng 902, and Snapdragon 801 is no match either, then we should just release Snapdragon 805, mass-produce Snapdragon 805 ahead of schedule, and use Snapdragon 805 to fight Kunpeng 902!"

Listening to everyone's words, Jacob took a deep breath and said, "Officially announce Snapdragon 805 immediately. Release Snapdragon 15 on the 805th, and kill Kunpeng 902 SOC!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.

Honey Nelson went on to say, "Chairman, after the release on the 15th, it would be best to hold an ordering meeting as soon as possible so that major brands can place orders for Snapdragon 805 as soon as possible and start supplying it in the second half of next year. No, in order to compete with Kunpeng 902 for orders, it must be supplied in the first half of next year, and it would be best if large-scale supply could start in May!"

Jacob agreed: "You are right. We need to hold an ordering meeting as soon as possible, get the chip order as soon as possible, and supply the goods as soon as possible. If it is too late, and Xingyi Technology's next-generation processor snatches away customers and orders, then we will suffer a great loss."

"That's right. Xingyi Technology's next generation processor is upgraded to quad-core A4. It is very powerful. Once released, Snapdragon 57 will not be able to say it will win!"

Jacob nodded: "In this way, Snapdragon 805 will be released on the 15th, and the order conference will be held on the 18th. The supply will start in April or May next year. Let major brands place orders as soon as possible and ship in the order of payment!"

"Yes!"

Honey Nelson continued: "In addition, we have to increase our publicity efforts and vigorously promote how powerful our Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 is. Only in this way will users buy it. As long as users buy it, those mobile phone manufacturers will have to buy it."

Jacob agreed: "Yes, one of the main reasons why our Qualcomm chips were so popular in the past was that our brand image was well promoted, which made users believe that our Qualcomm chips had the best performance and were high-end. MediaTek chips, on the other hand, had poor performance and were low-end and were only used for knockoff phones."

"For this reason, mobile phones equipped with Qualcomm chips are hot-selling, and manufacturers are willing to buy our Qualcomm chips."

"But since we met Xingyi Semiconductor and Kunpeng chips, Qualcomm has failed!"

"Qualcomm's high-end chips have been beaten by Kunpeng chips, which has greatly damaged their image and caused them to be unsalable."

"This time, Snapdragon 805 is very powerful. We must increase our marketing efforts to turn our image around."

"This..." A senior executive frowned: "Will this work? Now many users have experienced the power of Kunpeng chips and think that Kunpeng chips are invincible and can suppress Qualcomm! It is not easy to change these people's thinking and cognition."

Honey Nelson waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's really hard to change the mindsets of those who know the business. But it's not a big problem. We can target those digital novices, those female users who don't know much about chip performance, and those young people."

"That's right. These people can probably only tell the difference between quad-core and dual-core. How can they understand 64-bit and -bit? How can they understand Kunpeng chips? Actual experience? They just believe in our marketing."

"That makes sense. These people are easy to be fooled, so they are the best targets for us. Moreover, they are often young and have greater consumption potential in the future! As long as we can make the impression that Qualcomm is a high-end chip and make it deeply rooted in their minds, this thing will be done."

"Okay, let's do it."

That night, a piece of news shocked the entire Internet:
[Qualcomm's new generation flagship processor Snapdragon 805 SOC will be released in two days. The CPU and GPU will be comprehensively upgraded across generations, redefining the performance monster! ]

It was accompanied by a picture, in which a mighty Snapdragon was stepping on a Kunpeng, and the number 902 was on the Kunpeng!

What followed was overwhelming and large-scale publicity.

Although Snapdragon 805 has not been officially released yet, major media have begun to hype it up.

Frankly speaking, Snapdragon 805 is so powerful and tough, and it has been upgraded across generations...

As soon as these news came out, they caused an uproar:

"Qualcomm is going to release a new processor. The Snapdragon 805 sounds much better than the Snapdragon 800 and 801."

"From the naming, it seems that the Snapdragon 801 is not much better than the Snapdragon 800, but the Snapdragon 805 is a big improvement."

"There is no other way. Kunpeng 706 can crush Snapdragon 800 and even Snapdragon 801. If Qualcomm doesn't work harder, it will be in trouble."

“I just don’t know whether the Snapdragon 805 is a 32-bit processor or a 64-bit processor.”

"If it is a 64-bit processor, then it will be fine and worth looking forward to. If it is 32-bit, it will be difficult to catch up with the 64-bit bonus of the Kunpeng processor."

"According to rumors, the Snapdragon 805 is still a 32-bit processor, but the CPU and GPU have been fully upgraded, and the performance has been greatly improved. It can definitely beat other generations."

"So powerful? If so, wouldn't it surpass Kunpeng 902?"

"More than just surpassing? To tell you the truth, the performance of Snapdragon 805 will greatly surpass Kunpeng 902. Even if the Kunpeng chip 64-bit system is improved by 60%, it can still surpass it."

"So amazing? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. Haven't you seen the picture from Qualcomm? Snapdragon is stepping on Kunpeng 902!"

"Wow, what a great image. It seems that Snapdragon 805 is really powerful. The new Snapdragon 805 phone is worth looking forward to."

"The new phones equipped with Snapdragon 805 are indeed worth looking forward to, but I am afraid they will be launched too late. The most powerful phones currently available are still Xphone 3 and Xphone 3 Plus!"

"Even if it is launched late, we have to wait. Isn't it just half a year? If we release it now, it should be available in the first half of next year."

"Yes, I also gave up buying the Xphone 3 and waited for the new Snapdragon 805 phone!"

Looking at these opinions, Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi, the chairman:
"Qualcomm is too arrogant. They've already started to make irresponsible remarks before the chip is even released, and even posted pictures to put us down, as if their Snapdragon 805 is powerful enough to really beat our Kunpeng 902."

"They also manipulated public opinion. Now everyone on the Internet is bragging about how powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 is. Many people even said they would give up buying Xphone 3 and choose to wait for the new Snapdragon 805 phone. This will cause our sales to drop."

Wang Yi waved his hand, not caring at all: "Don't worry about it. The higher Gao Tong jumps now, the harder he will fall!"

Zhu Changlin next to him was also calm and said: "Yes, this big drama, we are waiting for Qualcomm to perform it!"

"???" Jian Ziyan was confused: "What do you mean? Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 has such a big improvement, you are not nervous at all? You are confident and even looking forward to it?"

"Could it be that the chairman has already made a plan?"

Zhu Changlin nodded: "Of course, just wait and see. The launch of Snapdragon 805 can be seen as the starting point of Qualcomm's great decline. The chairman has already arranged everything, hahahaha!"

"I see. How come I don't know anything?" Jian Ziyan was a little confused: "As expected, I am just a secretary and I am not qualified enough."

"This was done in secret. Apart from the chip department and Lao Zhu, few people knew about it."

"Oh, so that's it." Jian Ziyan had an idea.

She graduated in July this year and gave up her plan to pursue further studies in order to better serve as Wang Yi's secretary.

After all, the management taught in schools is all from the West in the last century. How much of it is still useful now? It's hard to say.

This is why most of the students who study abroad in business schools are very mediocre.

It’s better to have someone with a skill who can go further.

Similarly, Wang Yi studied business administration purely because it was easy to get a degree in this liberal arts major, and he might not fail the course if he didn't attend classes.

If he studied science and engineering, Wang Yi would be busy with Xingyi Technology every day and would not have time to go to school every day.

But if you don't study science and engineering, then the exam will be useless.

For arts, you can memorize the key points before the test, guess and make up your mind during the test, and then the teacher will give you a break, and there is a high probability that there will be no problem. But for science and engineering, if you don't know the answer, you just don't know the answer.

On the 15th, Qualcomm held a Snapdragon 805 launch conference.

Wang Yi didn't even look at this. He had a happy exercise with Lin Shu and then fell into a deep sleep.

As for how powerful Snapdragon 805 is?

Wang Yi was not worried at all, and even thought that the more powerful the Snapdragon 805 was, the better. After all, the chip was limited by the process architecture, and if the performance exceeded the limit, it would never bring improvement, but a large-scale rollover.

On the contrary, George, Zhang Chao and others were staying up late in the conference room to watch the live broadcast of the Snapdragon 805 launch conference.

It’s not that we care about our competitors, but we want to see how Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 will kill itself!
For this purpose, George brought a large bucket of Coke and Zhang Chao brought a large bag of melon seeds.

The two of them sat in the small conference room, eating and drinking, and watched the Qualcomm press conference very comfortably.

Jacob was standing on the stage, full of energy and vigor, as if he was going to turn the tables and make a comeback:
“Snapdragon 805 is another epoch-making 800 series high-end flagship chip after Snapdragon 801 and Snapdragon 8.”

“Its performance improvement is greater than before, and it can be called a cross-generational improvement.”

"First of all, in terms of CPU, we still use a quad-core architecture, but the difference is that all four cores are super cores, and the main frequency is directly raised to an unprecedented 4 GHz!"

"How much?" George, who was drinking, was stunned.

Zhang Chao was also confused: "If I heard correctly, he said 3.3 GHz!"

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

They both laughed.

"This is crazy. This is really crazy. The A15 core has high power consumption, and it is increased to 3.3 GHz. This is really crazy."

"Yeah, Qualcomm's ability to commit suicide is beyond my imagination. It's so awesome, hahahaha."

"With such a high clock speed, he is not afraid that his phone will explode!"

"It's clear that Qualcomm is going crazy in order to catch up with Xingyi Technology and make up for the 64% performance improvement of 60-bit."

Jacob continued, "Yes, Snapdragon 805 is that powerful. The CPU performance is 800% higher than Snapdragon 90!"

“GPU performance has also been improved across the board. It uses the latest Adreno 430 GPU, which has a 800% performance improvement over the Snapdragon 95! That’s right, the performance has almost doubled!”

Zhang Chao: "..."

George: “!!!”

Both of them were stunned.

Then, Zhang Chao burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Qualcomm is really crazy!"

George also said: "Fuck! Generally speaking, a 40% performance improvement on the CPU and GPU of a chip generation is considered powerful, but Qualcomm has improved both by 100%!"

"This is crazy, really crazy." Zhang Chao shook his head repeatedly: "With this configuration and performance, a phone equipped with Snapdragon 805 may really explode if it can fully perform!"

"Don't worry, Snapdragon 805 is completely useless! If it doesn't fail, it will be a disaster." George was also in a good mood.

Jacob was unaware of this and continued confidently:
"Yes, this is our new flagship processor, the Snapdragon 805. It is not only a huge improvement over the Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 801, but also a qualitative improvement over our competitor's Kunpeng 902!"

“至于提升有多少？”雅各布顿了顿笑说：“骁龙805的CPU比鲲鹏902强65%！GPU比鲲鹏902强70%!”

"Yes, the gap is that big!"

“It can be said to be a gap between two generations!”

"Even with the 64-bit bonus of the XOS system, Kunpeng 902 is still not as good as Snapdragon 805. There is no way, the gap is too big, Kunpeng 902 is too weak!"

There was applause at the scene, and the comments were even more indignant:
"Awesome! So awesome! 902% more powerful than Kunpeng 70, Snapdragon 805 is simply invincible."

"Sure enough, Qualcomm is still Qualcomm. Once they start to get serious, Xingyi Semiconductor will not be able to withstand it."

"Kunpeng 902 has only dominated for a few months, and it has been surpassed."

"70%. Isn't this gap too big? Qualcomm is really the best."

"Next year's flagship phone will still have to be Qualcomm. Come on Xingyi Technology!"

Jacob then went on to brag about the Snapdragon 805:

"Snapdragon 805 is so successful because of our outstanding R&D team. It is their unremitting efforts and full research and development that have achieved such brilliant results."

"Next, please welcome Evers Van Buren, the person in charge of the Snapdragon 805 project!"

Applause rang out again, and Evers Van Buren walked onto the stage, but his expression was a little complicated.

The hands holding the microphone were shaking a little.

Jacob didn’t know what the situation was with Snapdragon 805, and neither did the other vice presidents, but he, the project director, knew it!
So clear!

In fact, Evers Van Buren has always been rational since the beginning of research and development, and has repeatedly called for the performance not to be too outrageous and the main frequency not to be too high...

But unfortunately, neither R&D Director Honey Nelson nor Jacob would listen and insisted that they achieve incredible improvements.

The Snapdragon 805 is more than 902% more powerful than the Kunpeng 60!

Only in this way can the terrifying gap between 32-bit processors and 64-bit processors be narrowed!
To this end, the design of Snapdragon 805 has been changed again and again, and the CPU frequency has been raised again and again, from the initial 2.3G to the later 2.5G, then 2.7G, 3.0G...

It was out of control and finally stopped at 3.3G!

In addition, GPUs are constantly improving and being added to.

The GPU code name was also upgraded from the previous generation Adreno 330 to Adreno 420, and then to 430!

Logically speaking, Adreno 430 GPU is the GPU of the next generation Snapdragon 810!

But in order to compete with Xingyi Technology, Qualcomm also rushed to launch the Snapdragon 805!

Such a magical development, which was forced upon the seedlings, made Evers Van Buren feel helpless.

Looking back on the entire research and development process, Evers Van Buren felt that he was forced to move forward.

"Thanks to the efforts of Director Evers Van Buren and the team, we have such a powerful Snapdragon 805, which can beat Kunpeng 902! Thank you again!" Jacob said with a smile.

Evers Van Buren felt guilty, and his legs trembled even more violently: "..."

I even complained in my heart, "Don't thank me, just don't try to kill me when the time comes!"

Jacob boasted for a while, and the press conference finally came to an end:
“Snapdragon 805 will be put into mass production at the beginning of next year, and will be available in the first half of next year. By the middle of next year, everyone will be able to use a flagship phone equipped with Snapdragon 805!”

"Thank you for your support!"

After the press conference, the scene was in an uproar, and many people had strong expectations for the powerful performance of Snapdragon 805.

The media, which had been prepared long ago, also began to carry out extensive publicity.

Jacob was in a good mood, but Evers Van Buren was feeling more guilty: "At this rate, if the car fails, what will we do then?"

'Oh my god!'

'Should I run away too?'

For a moment, Evers Van Buren was completely confused!
Even though he was forced into this by Honey Nelson and Jacob, if things go wrong and the losses are heavy, he would definitely be blamed and have to take the blame.

It's just that the situation has developed to this point, and Qualcomm is touting the Snapdragon 805 and even using a lot of media resources for marketing and publicity.

Not only marketing Snapdragon 805, but also marketing him, the project director!

It can be said that both the Snapdragon 805 and itself are set up, and there is no way to change it.

'Well, I can only take it one step at a time and continue pretending!'

Looking at the overwhelming media promotion and marketing for Snapdragon 805.

George was in a good mood: "Snapdragon 805 is really powerful, too powerful!"

"That's right. It's too much!" Zhang Chao laughed and said, "No, I can't sleep tonight. I'm too excited to sleep. How about we find a place to have a drink?"

"That's what I meant. Let's go!"

Zhang Chao and George left the Xingyi Technology headquarters directly, found a pub and had a drink.

There was no choice. After watching Qualcomm's press conference, the two became more and more excited, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

The next day, Wang Yi came to Xingyi Technology.

Zhang Chao immediately came forward and said, "Chairman, our plan was successful. We really fooled Qualcomm! Hahaha!"

Previously, Qualcomm used Professor Yang to steal the R&D secrets of Xingyi Semiconductor. Wang Yi took advantage of the situation and made some false data for Professor Yang's people to steal smoothly.

"Qualcomm thought that our Kunpeng 906 would really have quad-core A4, so in order to surpass us, Qualcomm went crazy and raised the Snapdragon 57 directly to 805 GHz! It's crazy, hahahaha!"

“3.3 GHz?” Wang Yi was shocked. “Sure enough, Qualcomm’s madness is beyond my expectations.”

“Not only that, their GPU has also been upgraded across generations, but the current 28nm process cannot keep up with such an upgrade and will definitely fail.” Zhang Chao said with a smile: “This time, Snapdragon 805 is definitely no match for our Kunpeng 906!”

王逸淡淡一笑：“何止是鲲鹏906，就连鲲鹏902和706都能吊打骁龙805！64位加成下，702也能压着骁龙805打！”

No one knew how tragic such a rollover would be.

As for the radical performance of Snapdragon 805, the actual experience is probably not as good as Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 801!

The main frequency is too high. Not to mention 28 nanometers, even 20 nanometers may not be able to control it.

Qualcomm’s previous failure was due to the fact that Snapdragon 805 was too radical, and all major brands gave up on Snapdragon 805 and chose Snapdragon 801!

This time, in order to catch up with Xingyi Technology and to make up for the gap in 64-bit architecture, Qualcomm was tricked by Wang Yi again. Not surprisingly, Qualcomm went further and further on the road to self-destruction.

"Chairman, Qualcomm will hold a Snapdragon 18 chip ordering meeting on the 805th. How should we respond?" Zhang Chao asked, "Should we also officially announce the next-generation chip Kunpeng 906 and continue to snatch the Snapdragon 805?"

Wang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "We can consider this."

Although Wang Yi knew that Snapdragon 805 would fail, what if those customers were too naive and fell into the trap, and ordered Snapdragon 805, snatching some orders for Kunpeng 906, then the loss would outweigh the gain!
