Chapter 720 Wang Yi took action and Snapdragon 810 failed again!

Wang Yi got the top trending topic on the hot search list in just seven minutes with a single sentence, something that other companies couldn't buy with money!
This is also why Wang Yi chose to respond on Weibo instead of launching an attack on Douyin.

Even if it's a sensation on your own platform, everyone will think you have insider traffic, fake data, and deliberately manipulated the top trending topic.

If it trended on Weibo, a competitor's platform, and even topped the list, then no one would doubt it.

Some even suspect that Weibo has limited your traffic, but it still can't suppress the terrifying popularity!

The comment section of the trending topic became even more lively:
"Haha, Qualcomm, LG, and HTC have been criticizing the Kunpeng 910 every day. Now, Chairman Wang has fought back and is attacking the Snapdragon 810."

"Mr. Dong of Qualcomm said the Snapdragon 810 is the strongest flagship processor of the year, while Mr. Wang said the Snapdragon 810 is the weakest flagship processor of the year. So, is it strong or weak?"

"Who knows? But I trust Chairman Wang more!"

"The person upstairs is obviously a fanboy, so of course they believe their master. But in reality, the 20nm Snapdragon 810 is definitely more powerful!"

"I'm neither a Samsung fan nor a Qualcomm fan, but to be honest, how could the 20nm Snapdragon 810 be inferior to the 28nm Kunpeng 910?"

"So what? You know Qualcomm, right? They've never lost a bragging contest, but they've never won a real battle."

"This time it's different. Qualcomm previously lost out because of its 32-bit architecture, which was inferior to Xingyi Technology's 64-bit architecture. But this time, the Snapdragon 810 has also been upgraded to a 64-bit architecture!"

“就是，64位四核A57 +四核A53的骁龙810，怎么会不如双核A57 +四核A53的鲲鹏910？”

“骁龙810不仅20纳米制程领先一代，还比鲲鹏910多了两个A57大核，鲲鹏910拿什么比？”

"Parameters are useless. Have you forgotten about the previous Snapdragon 805? The parameters were hyped up to be earth-shattering and invincible, but what was the result? It couldn't even beat the Kunpeng 910 of the same generation, let alone the Kunpeng 906 of the previous generation and the Kunpeng 902 of the generation before that."

"With the XOS system added, let alone the Kunpeng 902, the Snapdragon 805 can't even beat the Kunpeng 706 and 702. Qualcomm is several years behind."

"I think this time, the Snapdragon 810 is the same. It's been hyped up like crazy, but the actual experience is still several generations behind the Kunpeng 910."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Snapdragon 805's poor performance is due to excessive power consumption and severe overheating, turning it into a 'fire dragon' and completely failing. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so bad."

"So why do you think the Snapdragon 810 won't fail? Won't become the second-generation 'fire dragon'?"

"???"

For a moment, those who praised Qualcomm were stunned. Even Qualcomm fans couldn't help but worry that the Snapdragon 810 might also fail.
And Xingyi Technology's fans were excited:
"The last time with the Snapdragon 805, Qualcomm hyped it up to an absurd degree. Wang Jianlin (CEO of Qualcomm) even declared the Snapdragon 805 dead with a single sentence, saying it was bound to fail and its actual performance would be terrible. But nobody believed him. Qualcomm's fans even criticized Wang Jianlin, saying he was deliberately smearing Qualcomm. And what happened? The Snapdragon 805 really did fail miserably, and the actual experience was far inferior to the previous generation Snapdragon 800, leaving users extremely frustrated."

"Does Wang's latest prediction mean that the Snapdragon 810 will also be a major failure, and its actual performance will be inferior to the Snapdragon 801?"

"No way? No way? If that's the case, then we're doomed!"

"The Snapdragon 801 is not as good as the Kunpeng 902 from two years ago! Doesn't that mean the Snapdragon 810 is still two years behind Xingyi Technology?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Qualcomm couldn't possibly be this bad."

"What's impossible about it? Qualcomm has been underperforming for more than just a year or two."

"Chairman Wang wouldn't speak recklessly. He dares to speak so frankly, so it must be for a reason."

"That's right. As an entrepreneur, if he talks nonsense, he will have to take responsibility. Qualcomm will definitely sue Chairman Wang. But Chairman Wang still speaks so frankly because he is sure that the Snapdragon 810 will fail. That's why he dares to speak so frankly."

"That makes sense. Damn it, I'm totally devastated! I just ordered a new LG phone, it cost over 5000 yuan! What if it turns out badly?"

"I'm devastated. I just pre-ordered an HTC One M9 with full payment, 5299! Should I return it?"

"If the Snapdragon 810 is really as powerful as Qualcomm claims, it's definitely a sure thing. LG and HTC have a chance to be flagship phones of the year, and it's not expensive at around 5,000 yuan. But if the Snapdragon 810 is a disaster as Mr. Wang said, and it's not as good as the Snapdragon 801, lagging behind Xingyi Technology by two years, then you'll be the ones who suffer the most."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious, these two guys are really panicking."

"I was planning to buy the new LG phone, but I'll wait and see."

"My HTC M9 reservation has also been postponed; I'll wait and see."

"A phone that costs over five thousand yuan is no small matter. It should last at least three or four years. If the performance is poor, then I'll be truly hopeless."

"That's right, the strongest flagship processor of the year, the weakest flagship processor of the year, the difference is not small."

"According to Chairman Wang, the Snapdragon 810 is the weakest processor of the year. Doesn't that mean the Snapdragon 810 is not only two years behind the Kunpeng 910, but also behind Samsung's upcoming Exynos 7420 processor and Apple's A9 to be released in the second half of the year?"

"It's possible that it's not as good as Xingyi Technology, not as good as Apple, and not as good as Samsung. But what Chairman Wang said is that the Snapdragon 810 is the weakest flagship processor of the year. Doesn't that mean that the Snapdragon 810 is also inferior to Huawei HiSilicon and MediaTek?"

"Holy crap! Chow Yun-fat and HiSilicon are on the table? Really?"

"Who knows? Maybe Chairman Wang didn't consider Chow Yun-fat and HiSilicon as flagship processors and didn't include them in his calculations."

"We don't know about Chow Yun-fat, but HiSilicon has become visibly stronger in recent years."

"That's right, especially after Starry Semiconductor started manufacturing the chips, HiSilicon has been releasing several new models every year. The Kirin 920 from the first half of last year had already established itself, and the subsequent Kirin 925 was even stronger. Although its GPU is not as good as Qualcomm's, its baseband is stronger and its power consumption is lower, making it basically on par with Qualcomm. This year's new flagship processor from HiSilicon is very likely to be even stronger!"

"Huawei HiSilicon is getting more and more powerful. If Qualcomm doesn't work harder, it won't be able to compete with Star Semiconductor, and it might not even be as good as HiSilicon."

"Where is the Qualcomm chairman? Chairman Wang has already criticized you, why aren't you coming out to deny the rumors!"

"Yes, please clarify! If you don't clarify, I won't dare to buy it!"

"Qualcomm has not denied the rumors so far, which means there really is a problem with the Snapdragon 810. Otherwise, they would have denied it long ago."

"Exactly, Chairman Wang has always been more reliable than Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 810 is likely to be a flop. Whoever wants to buy it can buy it, but I'm not buying it."

As the topic gained traction on social media, more and more people became aware of the problem and began to worry.

The Snapdragon 805 debacle is still fresh in everyone's memory, and many Qualcomm fans regretted being misled.

As a result, many potential buyers of the new LG phone stopped themselves from purchasing it.

Users who planned to pre-order the HTC M9 with full payment have also chosen to wait and see.

The difference between the strongest flagship processor at the end of the year and the weakest flagship processor of the year is truly enormous!
For a time, although the LG G Flex 2 was launched in China, its sales were mediocre and the response was lukewarm.

Many customers who had already placed orders were worried about the product going wrong and opted for a refund.

The number of full-payment pre-orders for the HTC One M9 also plummeted, while the number of refunds surged.

Seeing this, LG Mobile President Kim Jong-han was furious:
"Xiba!"

"Xiba!"

"Wang Yi's words caused our LG G Flex 2 sales to plummet. The expected hot sales situation is gone. Damn it, damn it!"

The vice president reassured them, "But it's alright for now. It's just a sharp drop in the Xia Kingdom market, so the impact isn't significant."

However, the marketing director couldn't help but point out: "Actually... the sales of LG G Flex 2 in the international market have also started to plummet."

"How could this be?" Jin Zonghan's eyes widened, filled with shock and anger: "Wang Yi's prophecy has even spread overseas? Spread all over the world?"

"Yes, Chairman, Wang Yi's statement that the Snapdragon 810 is the weakest flagship processor of the year has been widely reported by major international media outlets, and it became a global sensation in less than half a day."

"As a result, the sales of LG G Flex 2 in overseas markets also began to decline rapidly."

"Xiba!"

"Xiba!"

Jin Zonghan was furious and utterly bewildered: "Is Wang Yi's influence really that great? Just one sentence from him and our sales plummeted? And globally at that?"

The marketing director dared not speak frankly, but the vice president beside him sighed:

"There's nothing we can do about it; Wang Yi's influence is just that great right now."

"It's fair to say that Wang Yi is a god in the global technology community!"

"The products he launches always sell like hotcakes. Take the Starry Sky X1 series, for example. It's more expensive than our LG flagship models, but it sells very well. Now, almost every celebrity, entrepreneur, and wealthy person in South Korea owns one!"

"That's so exaggerated?" Jin Zonghan was somewhat incredulous.

"None of the clients and partners I usually meet seem to use the Xingyi X1!"

"Um... are they all using LG phones?" the vice president asked with a half-smile.

"!!!" Jin Zonghan was struck dumb, and his expression became quite interesting.

Yes, those who get close to you are mostly people who need something from you, or they are LG's business partners!
When these people meet with the president of LG Mobile, they will naturally use LG mobile phones!

But if you leave the scene, you'll probably immediately escape the Xingyi X1 series!

"Damn it!" Jin Zonghan was speechless for a moment.

The vice president remarked with deep emotion, "Wang Yi's current status in the tech industry is no less than, and certainly no less than, that of Steve Jobs back then!"

"That's outrageous?" Jin Zonghan was dumbfounded. The vice president nodded: "That's right, it's that outrageous. Jobs was only great in the mobile phone industry, but look at Wang Yi?"

"He has reached the top in the mobile phone industry, computer industry, semiconductor industry, smart home industry, home appliance industry, social media industry, e-commerce industry, entertainment industry, fashion industry, and so on! Wang Yi's influence and number of fans have long surpassed those of Steve Jobs!"

"Now, with just one sentence from him, he has sealed the fate of the Snapdragon 810 and also the future of our LG G Flex 2."

"Xiba!"

"Xiba!"

"We've been fooled by Qualcomm again. We shouldn't have believed their lies, and we shouldn't have used the Snapdragon 810," Jin Zonghan cursed. "If we had continued using the Kunpeng 910, none of this would have happened!"

"It's not too late now. Launch the Kunpeng 910 version of the LG G Flex 2 as soon as possible. That way, even if the Snapdragon 810 fails and sales stagnate, the Kunpeng 910 version can still support the sales of the LG G Flex 2!"

"Yes, this is the best approach right now. From now on, no matter how much Qualcomm hypes it up, we won't believe them. We'll focus on the Kunpeng processor and Xingyi Semiconductor!"

"If I ever believe Qualcomm's nonsense again, I'm a dog!"

"In addition, we're ordering another three million Kunpeng 910 SOCs! LG has invested so much money in the R&D of the G Flex 2, we absolutely cannot let it go to waste. Now that we can't rely on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, we can only rely on the Kunpeng 910!"

"Okay, I'll place the order now."

The same situation applies to HTC.

"Difficult, really difficult, extremely difficult!"

Wang Hong slumped in her boss's chair, her face flushed red.

"Qualcomm threatened us that if we didn't use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810, they would sue us and ban the sale of HTC One M9, which resulted in dismal sales of HTC One M9."

"They used Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810, but Wang Dong revealed that the Snapdragon 810 was a disaster! The HTC One M9 still had dismal sales!"

"Damn it, you two grown men ganged up on me, a woman, huh?"

"Do you think I owe you guys something?!"

"Damn it! Absolutely awful!"

Wang Hong became increasingly angry as she thought about it. HTC's situation was extremely difficult lately.

Even she, the head of HTC and a top-tier businesswoman, was finding it hard to cope!
The secretary standing next to him seemed hesitant to speak.

"Xiao Lan, just say what you want to say!" Wang Hong said coldly.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Lan said, "Chairman, Chairman Wang didn't bully us. We were the ones who first put down Kunpeng 910 and Xingyi phones, and that's why Chairman Wang attacked Snapdragon 810."

Wang Hong's lips twitched: "..."

"Furthermore, Xingyi Technology also possesses a large number of core patents and communication patents. If they really want to bully us, Xingyi Technology can sue us and even ban the sale of HTC phones!"

"Especially in the Chinese market, with Xingyi Technology's strength and influence, they could probably shut down HTC with just a word. That's bullying us!"

"But Chairman Wang didn't do that at all, he didn't even hold it against us. How did he bully us?"

Wang Hong stood frozen in place, speechless: "..."

Looking at the secretary's expression, he cursed inwardly:

"This girl used to be very tactful. When did she start talking so rudely? Doesn't she have any dignity?"

"Could it be that she's a die-hard fan of Wang Yi? She doesn't even care about my feelings?"

"Damn, brainwashed fans are terrifying!"

"There are countless people like this!"

"Damn it, if I had this many brainless fans, how could HTC phones not sell like hotcakes?"

"Why should we put up with Xingyi Technology and Qualcomm's attitude?"

"Ugh! It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!"

Qualcomm Chairman Jacobs, who was far away in the United States, panicked upon seeing these public opinions.

I felt like the sky had fallen when I woke up!
"Fake!"

"Fake!"

"Wang Yi started attacking directly, which is excessive, too much."

"If he says that, how can the new phones equipped with the Snapdragon 810 still sell well?"

"If new phones equipped with the Snapdragon 810 aren't selling well, how can the Snapdragon 810 be shipped in large quantities?"

"If the Snapdragon 810 can't be shipped in large quantities, how can Qualcomm return to its peak and see a surge in profits?"

"Wang Yi, that guy, has gone too far, far too far!"

"Damn it, damn it all!"

The vice president's expression was grave: "Most importantly, Wang Yi has too much influence. His one sentence went straight to the top of the trending topics, and even the global trending topics! It instantly shattered the image of the Snapdragon 810 flagship processor that we had painstakingly built up over the past few months!"

Other senior executives also spoke up:
"It's not just that the Snapdragon 810, the strongest flagship processor of the year, was defeated; it also gave the Snapdragon 810 the title of the weakest flagship processor of the year!"

"From the strongest flagship to the weakest flagship!"

"This is the most serious situation!"

"What's most infuriating is that many consumers actually believed it!"

"This is going to be fatal!"

"Sales of LG flagship phones equipped with Snapdragon 810 have plummeted, and the number of full-payment pre-orders for the HTC M9 has also dropped sharply, while the number of people requesting refunds has surged significantly."

"Fuck! That damn Wang Yi, he killed our Snapdragon 810 with just one sentence, this is too passive!"

"We must immediately engage in crisis management and counterattack against Wang Yi!"

"Yes, fight back! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I suggest we sue Wang Yi directly!"

"Sue us? You think it'll work? Do you think we can win? Don't you know how the Snapdragon 810 performs in real-world use?"

Jacob frowned.

True gold is not afraid of fire.

But if it's just scrap metal being gilded, then that's a completely different story!
Whether the Snapdragon 810 is up to par is unclear to others, but Qualcomm has some idea.

The R&D director's expression turned serious: "Chairman, the performance of our Snapdragon 810 should theoretically be very powerful, absolutely crushing the Kunpeng 910. But LG and HTC are useless; they don't know how to optimize, causing the Snapdragon 810 to overheat severely, lock cores, and reduce frequency, unable to unleash its full potential."

Others chimed in, saying, "That's right, the Snapdragon 810 is very powerful. It's the fault of phone manufacturers like LG and HTC that's dragging us down."

"If it's a Xingyi phone, with Xingyi Technology's chip tuning and mobile phone R&D capabilities, the Snapdragon 810 won't overheat or consume too much power, and it can unleash its full performance!"

"To put it bluntly, the key issue isn't our Snapdragon 810 processor, but rather that our customers are not as capable as Xingyi Technology."

Jacob frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure the Snapdragon 810 overheating is due to improper customer tuning? Unlike the Snapdragon 805, it's not a hardware problem on our end?"

The R&D director nodded quickly: "Of course it's not a problem with the Snapdragon 810, it must be a problem with the customer."

"Back then, our dual-core Qualcomm 8260 chip, made with a 40-nanometer process, was prone to overheating. Other competitors called us 'power guzzlers,' but when we switched to Xingyi Technology, they made things much clearer."

"There was also the Nvidia Tegra 3 back then, the world's first quad-core mobile processor, which was made with a 40-nanometer process and generated even more heat. HTC, LG, and others all had problems with it. But in the hands of Xingyi Technology, it was tuned to be exceptionally docile. On Xingyi phones, the Tegra 3's performance was fully unleashed without getting hot at all."

"Currently, the Snapdragon 810, made with a 20nm process, already has relatively low power consumption, but it still generates a lot of heat. That means our customers are incompetent and don't know how to optimize it, and their heat dissipation is also inadequate. If we switched to Xingyi Technology, the Snapdragon 810 would definitely be able to perform at its full potential."

"Yes, it's the customer's problem."

Upon hearing this, Jacob was at a loss for words.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense:

"If Xingyi Technology can optimize the power-hungry 40nm Tegra 3 so well, why can't LG, HTC, Sony, and Motorola optimize the excellent 20nm Snapdragon 810 processor?"

Are they all useless?

“That’s right, Chairman, these people are just good-for-nothings.”

The vice president laughed and said, "But if we give the engineers at LG and HTC some more time, they can also optimize the Snapdragon 810 to the point where it can cool down and unleash its full performance!"
