Chapter 736 Musk Admits Defeat, Starry Sky Technology Goes on a Killing Spree!

"Damn it!"

"Fake!"

After a long and continuous outburst, Musk finally calmed down and looked at the senior executives:

"I just don't understand, Tesla has been making cars for so many years, why is Tesla Autopilot still so stupid!?"

"Xingyi Technology has only been manufacturing cars for two or three years, right? How come Xingyi Intelligent Driving is so intelligent and powerful? It's several generations ahead of us!"

"Can anyone tell me why?"

Everyone fell silent, too terrified to utter a word.

Musk was even more furious: "I'll tell you why! Because Xingyi Technology is full of talent, while you're all idiots, useless trash, garbage, and morons!"

"So the Xingyi Intelligent Driving system can do it, but you bunch of idiots can't!"

"waste!"

"Fake!"

"You should all be able to sit in a Model S, take your hands off the steering wheel like Wang Yi, and experience fully contactless intelligent driving, all while live-streaming it!"

"Yes, that's a great idea, an excellent idea!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale, and Rory Miller, head of Tesla's Autopilot program, broke out in a cold sweat.

Musk is a technological genius, but also a madman!

It's entirely possible that they would actually do such a thing!
Fake!

Wang Yi has ruined me!

Rory Miller broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "Chairman, our intelligent driving system is not as good as Xingyi's intelligent driving system. This is purely because our intelligent driving system is a purely visual solution, which inevitably leads to many errors in judgment, resulting in an immature intelligent driving solution."

"The Xingyi Auto's intelligent driving solution is vision + LiDAR! Although LiDAR is more expensive, it makes more accurate judgments, so Xingyi can do it better and more maturely."

Musk frowned: "You mean it's not that you guys are incapable, but that a pure vision solution is inferior to a lidar solution?"

“That’s right,” Rory Miller said decisively.

Musk, however, was even more furious: "Bullshit! If we all relied on lidar, what would I need you for?"

"LiDAR is so expensive!"

"Can that thing be widely adopted?"

"Trash, it's all trash!"

Musk angrily retorted.

Doesn't he know that a purely visual solution is unreliable?
Don't you know that lidar is more reliable? Of course you do!

It's just that lidar is too expensive these days; we can't afford it, we simply can't afford it.

Therefore, Tesla's intelligent driving solutions are all purely vision-based!

"That guy Wang Yi actually used LiDAR. Let's see how he handles it. He's definitely going to lose everything!"

Musk shouted angrily.

"Chairman, how should we respond to the online public opinion?" a senior executive couldn't help but ask.

"How should we respond? How do you suggest we respond?" Musk's face turned ashen. "How about you sit in a Model S, take your hands off the steering wheel, and experience the entire contactless autonomous driving process live?"

The high-ranking official's expression changed drastically: "I can't, Chairman. I want to live a little longer."

"Nonsense! You want to live longer, but do you think I don't?" Musk shouted angrily. "Or do you want Rory Miller to go?"

Tesla's Autopilot chief, Rory Miller, was terrified and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Chairman, I also want to live for several more decades."

"Then stop talking nonsense and just treat those netizens as idiots, ignore them!"

Musk decisively decided to back down.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

The Xingyi Intelligent Driving system is reliable, and Wang Yi dared to personally experience it.

But Tesla's Autopilot is still very unreliable, and Musk doesn't seem to care about his life!

No matter how much pressure netizens are putting on him, Musk is determined to back down and not respond.

He didn't even want to stay at the company anymore, so he simply walked towards the door.

The sudden emergence of Xingyi Auto and its stunning intelligent driving technology caught Master off guard, while Tesla also suffered heavy losses.

Musk was very frustrated and decided to leave the company to have some fun with the Victoria's Secret model he had just started dating.

Unexpectedly, his assistant stepped in front of him:
"Chairman, there are still many reporters and users gathered at the entrance..."

Musk's lips twitched: "!!!"

"These guys deserve to die!"

"Take the back door!"

Musk has backed down, but netizens are not going to let him off the hook.

They continued to press and harass him online, to the point that even Musk, who loves surfing the internet, started to play dead and remain silent.

And with media reporters constantly blocking the entrance, Musk simply stopped going to the company and instead worked on Victoria's Secret models all the time...

Seeing Musk get so frustrated, Huang felt a little pleased:

"That's right! Nvidia isn't the only company hit hard by Xingyi Technology; Tesla must be one of them too!"

"The market value we lose, Tesla will also lose."

"The tragedy we have encountered, Tesla will also have to experience."

"Tesla will also have to experience the market and users that we've lost!"

"That's fair!"

Old Huang has had a very difficult time lately.

After the GTX 970 fiasco, Xingyi Technology responded with a series of clever maneuvers and various attempts to salvage the situation, making Nvidia's seemingly impressive efforts ultimately prove futile.

Instead of boosting sales, the relationship with partners such as ASUS, Gigabyte, and MSI deteriorated further.

So much so that the GTX 950, which was launched recently, had to be mass-produced by Foxconn for the reference design, as no one was making non-reference designs.

The upcoming GTX 980 ti is also a reference design made by Nvidia itself; no one is making non-reference designs.

He originally intended to intimidate partners like ASUS and Gigabyte by claiming to be a 'lone hero,' but his plan backfired and became a reality!
Nvidia has truly become a "lone warrior"!
All our partners were gone, scared away, and we became partners of Xingyi graphics cards!

That's right. Nvidia's partners are no longer buying Nvidia GPU chips or making Nvidia's custom graphics cards. Instead, they're buying Starry Semiconductor's GPU chips and making Starry Semiconductor's custom graphics cards!
Even more impressively, partners like ASUS and Gigabyte are clearing out their Nvidia graphics cards while aggressively promoting Starlight's non-reference graphics cards!
Whether online or offline, they started promotions to clear inventory and then aggressively promoted non-reference graphics cards from Xingyi Graphics!
This change alarmed everyone at Nvidia, and Huang was particularly distressed.

Now I've truly become a lone warrior!
Left with no other option, Nvidia had to release the GTX 980 ti as soon as possible, hoping to make a desperate last stand and turn the tide.

The GTX 980 Ti is very powerful, with a 35%-45% performance improvement over the GTX 980, which can be described as a generational leap!
Old Huang was confident that the products would sell like hotcakes!

Unexpectedly, just after Nvidia released its flagship graphics card of the year, the GTX 980 Ti, Xingyi Technology immediately announced its 618 strategy launch event!
The thing sticking out of the front on the promotional poster is a graphics card!
There was also a number 14 written next to it!

This has caused quite a stir among netizens:
"Incredible! Nvidia just released the GTX 980 Ti, and Starway Technology has already announced a new graphics card, plus the addition of '14,' so it must be a 14nm process!"

"Holy crap! The RTX 980 Ti is made with a 14nm process? If so, wouldn't that be ridiculously powerful?"

"That's for sure. It's hard to say exactly how much stronger it will be, but it will definitely be stronger than the GTX 980 ti!"

"Not only is its performance stronger than the GTX 980 Ti, but its power consumption is also much lower!"

"That's right. After all, the RTX 980 Ti is 14nm, while the GTX 980 Ti is 28nm. The difference is huge."

"Wang is truly conscientious, directly using 14nm technology for graphics cards, unlike Huang, who won't be able to release 14nm graphics cards until next year!"

"What? The RTX 980 Ti is 14nm? Does that mean Nvidia is completely outdated?"

"It's definitely outdated!"

"Looking forward to Xingyi Technology's 618 press conference, I wonder what they'll be up to."

"A 14nm RTX 980 Ti is a certainty, and there's probably also a Boundless 3rd generation. Of course, what I'm most looking forward to is the Xingyi Auto!"

"Yes, as long as Xingyi Technology releases the Xingyi car, I will definitely buy it, I absolutely must buy it!"

"Intelligent driving is so smooth! I want it! Please release it as soon as possible!"

"With the 14nm RTX 980 Ti about to be released, who would still buy the 28nm GTX 980 Ti!"

"Exactly, Nvidia is really garbage. They've been getting crushed by Starlight graphics cards all year. From low-end to mid-range, from high-end to flagship, their entire product line is doomed."

"Serves them right! Who told Nvidia to keep releasing incremental updates and practice its knife skills? They brought this on themselves!"

Seeing this, Old Huang gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

When Starry Sky Technology officially announced the 14nm RTX 980 Ti, Nvidia's GTX 980 Ti lost.

Putting everything else aside, the difference between 14 nanometers and 28 nanometers is immediately apparent!

And so it is.

The GTX 980 ti was released earlier, but there weren't many orders.

Even those who were planning to buy it have given up on the GTX 980 ti and chosen to wait for the upcoming RTX 980 ti.

Even Nvidia's die-hard fans are choosing to wait and see before making a decision.

A few more days won't make a difference!
Public anticipation for the RTX 980 Ti and the Xingyi 618 strategic launch event has been steadily rising. Amidst this high level of excitement, the Xingyi Technology 618 strategic launch event officially took place on June 10th!
The 618 press conference was once again packed with media.

The difference is that many lucky fans also attended!

These invitations were all obtained through a lottery system when purchasing a Switch and game cartridges!

"Welcome fans to the Xingyi Technology 618 Strategy Launch Conference!"

"Thank you, Chairman Wang!"

A cheer erupted from the audience.

The live chat exploded: "Wow, so many people! They're all lucky!"

"Chairman Wang is so generous! Other companies are so stingy with their raffles, you can't win, you simply can't win!"

"Look at Xingyi Technology's lucky draw! Just the number of people who won tickets to Xingyi Technology's press conference alone is so high. Not to mention the tickets to the Three Giants' concert and other grand prizes! Chairman Wang is truly generous!"

"Stop talking, I'm going to buy a Switch and the Star Trek Collector's Edition right now, and I'm going to the StarCraft Technology press conference too!"

"Yes, I have to place the order. I have a feeling it's coming; the invitation to the press conference is beckoning me!"

Wang Yi laughed and said:
"The 618 strategy launch event is just the beginning, just the first one. We will continue with the lucky draw activities. In the future, at the launch events of Xingyi Technology, Meiyou Technology, and Wujie Technology, we will allocate some seats specifically for lucky fans. Thank you for your support!"

The scene became lively, and the live chat exploded with comments:
"Buy it, we have to buy it! Just for the invitation, we have to buy it!"

"That was Xingyi Technology's press conference! If I could be there in person, I could brag about it for the rest of my life!"

"Chairman Wang is so handsome! My husband is so handsome! I'm placing an order, entering the lucky draw, and seeing my husband!"

"I've already paid for the plane tickets, all I need is the invitation! I'll place another order! And try again!"

The atmosphere at the press conference had already exploded even before it started.

Many people have started ordering Switch + game cartridge bundles in hopes of winning the grand prize!

Wang Yi continued, "At the 618 strategic launch event, the first product will be the Boundless 3rd Generation!"

"Although it's a budget phone, this year's 3rd generation Ultra is ridiculously powerful!"

"Processor upgraded to Kunpeng 706!"

"what?"

"Fuck!"

"Kunpeng 706!"

"This is a phone that costs a thousand yuan?"

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

This year's 618 press conference was a bombshell from the very beginning!
It stunned everyone!

“That’s right, it’s that powerful!” Wang Yi smiled faintly.

The Kunpeng 706's performance is stronger than the Snapdragon 800. With the 60% boost from the XOS system, it can outperform the Snapdragon 801, and even outperform the Snapdragon 805 and Snapdragon 810!

But there's nothing we can do, domestic manufacturers are too greedy!
In recent years, domestic manufacturers have brought MediaTek Helio X1 processors to the budget phones, with performance equivalent to the Snapdragon 800!

Wang Yi can't keep using the Kunpeng 508 anymore, so he has to arrange for the Kunpeng 702 and 706!

However, the Kunpeng 702 uses a 40-nanometer process, which is outdated.

With competitors' budget phones starting to use 28nm chips, it's impossible for Wang Yi to continue using the 40nm Kunpeng 702.

In addition, since Xingyi Semiconductor broke through the 14-nanometer barrier, it has also begun a major internal adjustment!
Many 28nm and 40nm production lines have been upgraded to 14nm production lines.

Currently, 40nm production capacity is decreasing, and the 40nm chips Kunpeng 700 and 702 are gradually being discontinued.

Let's just go straight for the 28nm Kunpeng 706!

In 2013, the Kunpeng 706 was a near-flagship processor, but in 2014 it became a mid-range processor, and this year it has become a low-end processor.

The mobile phone industry has been changing rapidly in recent years, with processor performance increasing year by year, which is normal.

Xingyi Technology just took a more aggressive approach!
Wang Yi used the Boundless 3rd generation to directly destroy all Qualcomm models, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, as well as other Samsung phones except for the Samsung 7420!

I'm going to dominate the market with a budget phone!

"The third generation of Wujie not only upgrades the processor to the Kunpeng 706, but also comprehensively upgrades other configurations!"

"Upgrade from 1GB RAM to 2GB RAM!"

"The 4.7-inch 720P BOE standard screen has been upgraded to a 5.0-inch 1080P BOE high-end screen!"

"The 2000 mAh battery has been upgraded to a 2500 mAh battery."

"Upgraded from 200MP front camera and 800MP rear camera to 500MP front camera and 1300MP rear camera!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene erupted in cheers:
"My God, the Boundless 3rd Generation is an all-around upgrade, it's like a complete transformation!"

"The processor performance has more than doubled, and the RAM, screen, battery, and camera module have all seen a significant increase. It's incredible, truly incredible!"

"This configuration is so powerful it doesn't seem like a phone in this price range, it's terrifying. Even the previous generation of the Borderless Note series wasn't this powerful, was it?"

"Definitely not, that's a huge upgrade, the price will probably have to go up."

"The price will definitely go up. If this configuration is still 999, then our competitors will have no way to survive!"

"A configuration killer, a performance killer, I'd definitely buy it at 1499!"

"1499 is about right. With this configuration and performance, it can run Honkai Impact 3D smoothly even at high settings."

Wang Yi continued, "This is the configuration of the Boundless 3rd generation; it's surprisingly powerful for a phone in this price range. As for the specific gaming experience, we'll test it directly."

Following this, Wang Yi demonstrated the live game test:

"As you can see, while our flagship phones can't run Honkai Impact 3 smoothly, our Wujie 3rd generation can run it smoothly, and at 1080P high quality!"

"And Honor of Kings, the frame rate of the Wubi 3 is higher than that of other flagship phones."

"It can be said that the performance of the Boundless 3rd generation is extremely powerful, definitely comparable to the flagship phones of competing brands, but the price remains unchanged!"

"Boundless 3rd Generation, 2+8G, still 999!"

"Boundless 3rd Generation, 2+16G, 1199!"

"Boundless 3rd Generation, 2+32G, 1399!"

Another round of applause erupted from the audience:
"Boundless Generation III, Kunpeng 706, 2+16G, only 1199, absolutely amazing, a thousand-yuan gaming masterpiece!"

"Exactly! Who would buy an iPhone 6 with these specs? It's nowhere near as good as the Borderless 3!"

"The Samsung S6 isn't much better than the Borderless 3, so it's not worth it. The Borderless 3 is still the most reliable and cost-effective choice!"

"Borderless 3rd Generation, 2+32G, 1399, the most worthwhile purchase, the first mid-range phone for young people with near-flagship performance!"

Wang Yi continued, "More surprises to come."

"The second product, the Borderless Note 3!"

"A complete upgrade! Without further ado, here are the specs:"

“处理器升级为鲲鹏902 SOC，屏幕升级为5.5英寸1080P大屏，内存依旧2G内存，镜头模组升级为800+1300万像素！”

"The battery has been upgraded to a 3000mAh large battery, and it comes standard with Star Charge 2.0, 20W fast charging!"

"That's right, our Boundless Note, a phone priced around 1000 yuan, also comes standard with 20W fast charging!"

"what!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd!
"The iPhone 6 didn't even have 20W fast charging, but the Borderless Note 3 does! And this is a phone that costs over a thousand yuan!"

"A phone costing just over a thousand yuan, equipped with 20W fast charging and a Kunpeng 902 processor—this is another performance monster!"

"This configuration is practically the same as last year's Boundless S2. It's not exactly the same, but it's pretty much the same."

"So true! The Wujie S2 cost over three thousand, and now the Wujie Note 3 is down to just over one thousand. Xingyi Technology is going crazy!"

"I'm a student, and I love this phone. For just over a thousand yuan, I got such a powerful device with a Kunpeng 902 processor, 20W fast charging, and an 800MP + 1300MP camera. What more could I ask for? Thank you, Chairman Wang! Chairman Wang is such a philanthropist!"

"With such high-end specifications, I'd feel bad if I didn't raise the price. Boundless Technology, promoting technological equality, is truly amazing!"

The audience's eyes are discerning!
This year's Boundless Note 3 is essentially a remake of last year's Boundless S3.

Instead of drastically reducing the price of the Boundless S3 to around 2000, which would affect the flagship positioning of the S series, it would be better to downgrade it to the Boundless Note 3 and sell it at a lower price!
Of course, many components of the Boundless S3 were imported modules, but the Boundless Note 3 has been replaced with domestic modules, thereby reducing costs and allowing it to be sold at a lower price.

This way, users will be happy and willing to buy, and Wang Yi will make a profit and earn more!
Happy to everyone!

Following this, Wang Yi demonstrated the performance test results of the Boundless Note 3:

"Playing Honkai Impact 3D on the Borderless Note 3, high graphics and full frame rate, is effortless."

"Playing 'Honor of Kings' results in a slightly higher frame rate than my Samsung S6."

In short, the Boundless Note 3's performance is unmatched!

The scene was boiling.

Samsung's former chairman, Lee Kun-hee, couldn't help but curse:
"That's going too far! Your Thousand-Dollar Note 3, which costs just over a thousand yuan, has a higher frame rate than our Samsung S6, which costs just over five thousand yuan. How are we supposed to sell our S6?"

"More importantly, why does the frame rate of the Thousand-plus-yuan Borderless Note 3 have a higher frame rate than our S6?"

"This doesn't make sense! Did Wang Yi cheat?"

崔在值嘴角抽搐：“董事长，按理说无界note 3的鲲鹏902，远不如我们S6的猎户座7420，就连鲲鹏906、910都不如7420！”
