Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 262 You chase me
As HaiLian Automotive began to deliver vehicles in major markets around the world, and Tesla also began to deliver vehicles, these two newcomers in the automotive industry quickly carved out a niche with electric vehicles.

This has also prompted major automobile manufacturers around the world to follow suit, and many large automobile companies have begun to launch their own electric vehicle plans.

However, it is not so easy for these big automobile companies to develop electric vehicles!
In a domestic automobile manufacturer, a group of senior executives are holding a meeting to discuss electric vehicles, which are very popular nowadays.

But in the meeting, everyone's faces were not very good.

I only heard one of them say:

"The technical difficulty of Hailan's electric cars is too high. Let's not talk about autonomous driving. Given the current level of technology, it is a very difficult thing. For us, it is already a serious cross-industry. This autonomous driving is not even developed by Hailan Automobile, but a product of Zhiyun Group."

"We have tried to contact Zhiyun Group, but the situation is unclear. They also said that they have signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Hailan Automobile. According to this agreement, Hailan Automobile can obtain exclusive autonomous driving technology license for at least three years."

"Within three years, no other manufacturer, including us, will be able to obtain their autonomous driving technology."

"Even if they are willing to sell it three years later, the risk will be very high. Autonomous driving technology is the core technology of future electric vehicles. If such technology is in the hands of others, won't we become an assembly plant in the future?"

"Such core technology must be in our own hands to ensure peace of mind!"

"But this technology is too difficult to implement in a short period of time. We are seeking assistance from other Internet companies to see if we can jointly develop it."

At this time, someone said: "Autonomous driving technology is difficult and cannot be achieved in a short time. So can we do the same as Tesla and just make an electric car? Even though Tesla does not have autonomous driving, it is still selling very well now!"

At this time, the technical supervisor still looked worried:
“But even ordinary electric cars are not that easy to get.”

"Although the industry, especially those third- and fourth-rate manufacturers, say that electric cars are easy to make, just adding a battery and a motor, and then adding a wheel."

"But this will only produce cheap, low-end electric vehicles that are completely uncompetitive in the market and will cause huge damage to the brand!"

In fact, recently many manufacturers have begun to try to develop low-end electric vehicles, similar to the Laotoule, using lead-acid batteries and ordinary motors.

However, this model is not accepted by truly large automobile manufacturers.

At this time, I continue to hear this middle-aged senior executive in charge of technology say: "It is not easy to actually develop an electric car that can be driven on the road, has decent performance, and is accepted by consumers."

"Batteries, motors and electronic controls are three major components, and each one is difficult to handle!"

When this person said this, the people present all had worried faces. It sounds easy to make an electric car, but it is too difficult to actually make it.

They only conducted some preliminary explorations, mainly trying to find various suppliers, but found that they could not find suppliers for any of the three core components in the electric vehicle field...or rather, they could find them, but what these suppliers provided was simply not enough to support the technical requirements of advanced electric vehicles.

The motor should be the one with the lowest technical difficulty. However, don't underestimate the motor. The motor used in electric vehicles is actually quite technically difficult. Not to mention other things, just solving the problem of motor heat dissipation is enough to stump a large number of electric motor manufacturers.

When the electric motor is working, it will also emit a huge amount of heat. How to increase the power as much as possible, while being energy-efficient and efficient, and finally solving the heat dissipation problem.

These technical requirements combined mean that the technical difficulty of this motor is quite high. Currently, there is no motor supplier in the world that can provide qualified products.

As for the motors of Hailan and Tesla, they were independently developed and designed by the companies themselves, and they just found a few motor factories to do the outsourcing.

Of course, this refers to the motors used in high-performance electric vehicles such as Hailan Automobile or Tesla. If the requirements are not so high, the technical difficulty can actually be reduced a lot, and even ordinary motor manufacturers can barely make one for you.

Many third- and fourth-rate manufacturers can purchase motors from the market to make fun things like three-wheeled electric vehicles, but such things cannot be used on advanced electric vehicles.

At this time, the technical executive of the automobile company continued: "In fact, the motor problem is not so difficult. We can find a motor company for cooperative research and development. We can figure it out after some thinking. But the battery and electronic control are too troublesome. The technical threshold is too high."

"There are currently no mature parts suppliers for these two companies. Both Hailan Auto and Tesla develop their own batteries and electronic controls."

"Although Tesla does not produce batteries itself, it also uses its core technology to have battery foundries produce them."

“Hai Lan Automobile not only develops its own batteries, but also produces them in-house.”

"According to my understanding, Hailan Automobile has previously acquired a lithium battery company, and then carried out large-scale technical production operations in the factory. Their self-developed batteries are produced by this factory, and the battery packs they produce are not supplied to the outside world at all!"

As for car batteries, to a certain extent, the batteries themselves do not have any major technical difficulties. What we actually use are lithium batteries.

The difficulty lies in how to combine these lithium batteries!

And this is related to the battery management system and battery safety protection system.

These two are the real core technologies.

All of these things are independently developed by HaiLan and Tesla, and other manufacturers cannot purchase them from outside.

There is actually another company in China called BYD, which also has this battery technology, but they also do not supply it to other countries.

"This lithium battery is too dangerous and very difficult to handle!"

"We started to conduct targeted research and development on lithium batteries in the second half of last year. However, after the lithium batteries were integrated, they would catch fire and explode at any time. It was not only a problem of battery structure, but also a problem of battery management!"
This is not just the case with this one car manufacturer. In fact, a large number of car companies started to conduct related research last year, and were dumbfounded when faced with lithium batteries that exploded and caught fire at any time... This damn thing is too damn dangerous. How did Hailan, Tesla and BYD manage to stuff such a large lithium battery into the car without it catching fire or exploding?
"But we also asked around in China and found out that there is a battery company called Ningdai in China that is cooperating with BMW of Germany to develop automotive power batteries. Their technology is quite good. I think we can also contact them to see if we can have a cooperative research and development!"

"Then the electronic control technology is also very important. How to integrate a large number of electrical components of the whole car and then form a complete car-machine system to control the entire car is also a considerable technical challenge."

"Although traditional fuel vehicles also have electronic control systems, they are far less complex and are mostly mechanical."

"But modern electric cars, especially those from Hailan, are fully electrified, and have very high requirements for electronic control!"

"I even think that the Hailan electric car made by the richest man Xu can't even be called an electric car, but a wheeled intelligent robot. Its electronic control level is too exaggerated."

This statement also attracted the approval of others: "Although Tesla is also quite advanced, we can still understand it and can imitate it in a targeted manner. However, the Hailan SEC is completely different from traditional cars. Even the selling point is not the car itself, but their autonomous driving and various science fiction senses!"

At this time, the boss sitting above said, "Okay, stop being so discouraging. We are making electric cars, not aiming for Hailan. They are making high-end high-tech products, which is different from ours. We are still taking the low-end route and mainly building ordinary electric cars."

"Autonomous driving cannot be achieved in a short time. Let's first look for those Internet companies with better technology to see if we can cooperate. I heard that these companies are also working on artificial intelligence!"

"The motor, battery, and electronic control are the three core components of modern electric vehicles. For the motor, we will find a top-level motor manufacturer in China to cooperate in R&D. As for the battery, since Ningdai's technology is good, we will also contact them to see if we can work together to develop a car battery."

"There's nothing we can do about electronic control. Since we can't find a partner outside, we'll do it ourselves. We need to hire people and do research and development. We don't ask for the best, but we just want to make something usable!"

"As for the electric vehicle market, I think its future potential is not much worse than that of SUVs. There is a lot of room for development in the future."

After a high-level meeting, this domestic automobile manufacturer officially launched the electric vehicle project. Instead of the previous early technical exploration, it directly launched the project for research and development.

However, due to technological limitations, I am afraid that there will not be any technological achievements in the short term, even within two or three years. At most, we can make a barely passable electric car, and at best we will be an old man in better shape.

If you ask them to produce a high-performance electric car like the Hailan SEC or Tesla S now, or even within two or three years, it would be too difficult for them.

Not to mention these traditional car manufacturers, even BYD, which has been engaged in electric vehicles for a long time in China and has accumulated rich experience and technology, is now overwhelmed by the two newly emerging electric vehicle manufacturers, Hailan and Tesla.

BYD has a very long history of making electric cars, and its history of mass-producing electric cars is longer than that of Tesla and Hailan Automobile. They developed and produced pure electric buses early on, and they sold very well both at home and abroad. It can even be said that they are the first electric car company in the world to mass-produce and apply them.

In the sedan field, they also developed a plug-in hybrid electric sedan based on a compact car, but it did not cause much response.

Later they developed a pure electric hatchback, but its actual range was only over 200 kilometers and its top speed was over 100 kilometers per hour. It was also quite expensive, with the price after subsidies being around 200,000 yuan.

Although this type of vehicle has been released and put on the market, it is mainly used in the taxi industry and the number is small, and even fewer are purchased by individual consumers.

The reason why sales cannot be increased is mainly because the electric vehicles they are currently making have poor pure electric range and average electronic control, not to mention any intelligence.

The entire interior is actually no different from that of a traditional gasoline car, not to mention autonomous driving.

Their early electric cars simply changed the power system from a fuel engine to a generator and gasoline to a battery. Many other design concepts continued those of traditional cars.

Therefore, their early electric cars did not look that good, did not perform that well, and their sales were actually very average, with the majority of their sales still coming from low-end fuel vehicles.

The path they take is different from that of Hailan Automobile and Tesla.

However, even so, BYD's attempts in electric buses, a plug-in hybrid and a pure electric vehicle still provide them with a lot of technical accumulation.

They are trying to push forward the development of a third electric car.

Especially stimulated by the success of Hailan Automobile, their research and development progress is quite fast, and it is estimated that they will be able to release their new generation of electric vehicles this year.

However, they did not follow the example of Hailan Automobile or Tesla and develop high-performance pure electric coupes, with prices easily reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Instead, it chose the plug-in hybrid route, which it is better at and has more mature technology. The main power still relies on the fuel engine.

The pure electric range is very short, estimated to be only a few dozen kilometers. As for plug-in hybrids, it is basically like this, and the pure electric range is average.

And the price of the vehicle is set at more than 200,000 yuan.

They have a very clear understanding of themselves and did not blindly follow Hailan Automobile and launch high-performance pure electric sedans or high-performance plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Their brand and technology cannot support that price, and no one would want the products they make... If they insist on making them, they will probably end up going bankrupt.

However, it was precisely this kind of down-to-earth approach and step-by-step technological advancement that finally created the king of electric vehicles in the original time and space and the number one in sales in the global electric vehicle field.

This follows a completely different technology and development path from Hailan Automobile.

Hailan Automobile has been positioned as a high-end brand from the very beginning... Of course, it is not possible not to be high-end, because according to Xu Shenxue's personality, no matter what he does, he must do it to the best of his ability and use black technology!

Electric cars made in this way cannot be cheap.

In order to make money and maintain high profits despite high costs, the selling price will naturally be very expensive.

-

HaiLan Automobile is a high-end brand not only relying on technology, but also on brand!

In terms of brand value, even HaiLan Automobile, which has not launched cars before, is stronger than several current domestic automobile manufacturers, even those joint venture manufacturers.

For no other reason than that HaiLan Automobile is Xu Shenxue's industry, and it has also reached a strategic partnership with Zhiyun Group and can obtain a lot of technical support from Zhiyun Group.

Ordinary domestic and even foreign consumers, just by hearing the names of Xu Shenxue and Zhiyun, have almost unconditional trust in them, and subconsciously believe that Hailan cars are high-tech products.

After all, Zhiyun Group is not ordinary!
It is currently the company with the highest market value in the world, the first high-tech company in China and even in the world, with a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars.

It has a large-scale and technologically strong smart terminal product line, semiconductor design and manufacturing business.

To know whether domestic mobile phones, computers and other smart terminal technologies are good or not and how they are developing, just look at the products of Zhiyun Group.

Not to mention that Zhiyun Group has a lot of black technology, such as artificial intelligence projects, driverless car projects, brain control projects, virtual reality projects, etc. Any one of them is scary.

This is a high-tech enterprise that makes most contemporary Chinese people proud.

The current situation of domestic high-tech field!
It is not only advanced in China, but also advanced globally. An S12 mobile phone is the best in the world, surpassing the Fruit 5 and the four-star Galaxy.

Laptops and tablets are comparable to similar fruit products.

Smart watches are a unique market that has swept the global market and have no competitors at all.

Even ordinary people know these. If they are people who pay more attention to the development of the technology industry or people in the industry, they will know that Zhiyun Group is still the world's second largest mobile phone SOC manufacturer, the fourth largest memory manufacturer, and the third largest flash memory manufacturer.

A large number of mobile phone manufacturers other than Zhiyun/Weiku, even including Sixin, have adopted a large number of W series mobile phone SOCs and corresponding memory and flash memory products exported by Zhiyun Group.

Quite a number of computer PC manufacturers, such as Lianxiang, also use a large number of memory and flash memory products from Zhiyun Group.

In addition, there is another piece of information that even technology enthusiasts don’t pay much attention to, that is, in addition to these core products, Zhiyun Semiconductor actually has a large number of various medium and low-process, seemingly inconspicuous auxiliary chips and functional chip businesses, and supplies them in large quantities to domestic and foreign manufacturers, and they are widely used in various home appliances or other electrical equipment and even some industrial equipment.

To be frank, even if we put aside the smart terminal business, relying solely on the chip business, it is still an important top high-tech enterprise!
In the eyes of Chinese people, and even in the eyes of many foreigners, Zhiyun Group is a top-notch high-tech enterprise...

The most obvious example is that if a group of foreigners want to say something disdainful of China's backwardness, they will often add something like this:
"Except Zhiyun..."

"Of course, Zhiyun doesn't count..."

Some people even said directly: "Strictly speaking, Zhiyun is not a Chinese company, but a global multinational company. You can't put Zhiyun in the list of Chinese companies."

When a group of foreigners discuss various situations in China, Zhiyun is always singled out for discussion.

Even a large group of foreigners do not recognize Zhiyun as a Chinese enterprise. Instead, they regard Zhiyun as a global multinational enterprise, which is just headquartered in China.

As for the production base being in China...what's so strange about that? Among a hundred high-tech companies, ninety-nine have production bases in China.

Zhiyun’s biggest competitor, Fruit, has its production bases all in China, just like Zhiyun!
Of course, this is also related to some of Zhiyun's promotional arguments in overseas markets. Zhiyun's announcements in overseas markets often focus on localization and globalization. When it was in Europe, it boasted every day that it was a global company, a European company, and basically never said that it was a Chinese company.

This also led to many foreigners who lacked common sense to misjudge Zhiyun.

This kind of example is actually very common in the industry. Many multinational giants often deliberately emphasize their global or local attributes when doing business in other countries. They may even set up local subsidiaries to cover up and directly pass them off as local domestic products.

If you carefully search for some relevant information, you will find that many brands you are familiar with, and even things you think are domestic products, are actually products of foreign capital, especially in the field of consumer goods.

Zhiyun actually adopts a similar strategy in overseas markets. For example, some of Zhiyun's finished memory sticks are sold to overseas markets under the brand of its German subsidiary Qimonda... and its solid-state drive products are simply branded after its American subsidiary.

Of course, for some things that are too famous, such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets, Africans all know that they are Zhiyun's products, so localized promotion cannot be carried out. In this regard, Zhiyun generally emphasizes the global attributes of Zhiyun Group.

But no matter what, the two words "Zhiyun" have a very strong brand appeal in the global field. Anyone with a little knowledge of technology knows that Zhiyun Technology is a super high-tech giant enterprise with particularly awesome technology.

And this is what some foreigners think of Zhiyun.

As for the Chinese people, their views on Zhiyun are even more exaggerated.

In the eyes of Chinese people, Zhiyun is the banner of high-tech field!
Anything produced by Zhiyun must be the best, including the autonomous driving technology developed by the unmanned vehicle project team under Zhiyun Group.

The HaiLian car is equipped with the autonomous driving technology of Zhiyun Group.

To some extent, the reason why HaiLan Automobile sells so well, especially overseas, is because Zhiyun Group has provided technical endorsement... Even many people who don’t know much about the business simply regard HaiLan Automobile as a car brand under Zhiyun.

Sometimes when some media reports news, they will directly refer to it as Zhiyun Auto or Zhiyun Hailan Auto...

This has made many people confused. Is Zhiyun actually making cars?
Actually, no. Zhiyun Group does not even hold shares in HaiLian Automobile. The relationship between the two parties is only that HaiLian Automobile has obtained the exclusive supply of Zhiyun Group's autonomous driving technology.

But unfortunately, Zhiyun and Hailan are both important companies of Xu Shenxue, so many ordinary people sometimes get confused.

Xu Shenxue's personal influence has brought great positive impact to HaiLan Automobile. It can be said that half of HaiLan Automobile's appeal comes from Xu Shenxue.

In later generations, there is a saying that entrepreneurs promote products, but the ability of these entrepreneurs or internet celebrities to promote products is far different from that of Xu Shenxue.

Xu Shenxue promoted HaiLan Automobile, and the amount was calculated in billions, and the unit was US dollars.

All of HaiLan Auto's current orders, including those that have been delivered and those that have not been delivered, add up to more than 200,000 vehicles, and the HaiLan SEC is a very expensive electric car.

The average domestic sales price reached more than 650,000 yuan, while in overseas markets, the North American market reached about 900,000 yuan, the European market reached about 1 million yuan, and in other overseas markets, depending on local tariffs or other tax costs, the average sales price was generally 800,000 to 900,000 yuan or even more than 1 million yuan.

This is definitely a luxury car!

For such luxury cars, HaiLan Automobile has received orders for more than 200,000 units in the past six months.

It brought HaiLan Auto more than 20 billion US dollars in revenue and more than 5 billion US dollars in gross profit.

The reason why it can generate such strong revenue and profits is not only due to the strong technology of HaiLan SEC itself, but also due to the technical endorsement of Zhiyun Group and the personal influence of Xu Shenxue.

Who is Xu Shenxue?

He is the richest man in the world and the founder and big boss of Zhiyun Group. He is involved in all kinds of high-tech and black technology.

In addition to various semiconductors and smart terminals, Boss Xu also plays with rockets. And the rockets he plays with are reusable rockets...The most important thing is that he succeeded.

It directly shocked the global aerospace industry from head to toe.

Just by looking at the name Xu Shenxue, one can tell that he is somehow associated with high technology.

A man like this, with two core companies under his control, has developed a top-notch electric car that is said to have cost tens of billions of dollars in research and development. How could it be bad?
There is no need to analyze or study any parameters. Just place an order without thinking if you have money in your pocket...

As the joke on the Internet goes: Everything made by Mr. Xu is full of advantages except that it is expensive!

In many cases, being expensive is also an advantage.

The most important thing is that the HaiLan SEC they developed is really good, it can even be regarded as black technology!
Last year, the news and related videos of HaiLan SEC's autonomous driving swept the global Internet, bringing great shock to people all over the world, and making many people shout that mankind has entered a new intelligent era.

In this case, the HaiLan Automobile brand has been different from ordinary domestic automobile brands from the very beginning. In terms of brand style, it is even more powerful than a group of international automobile brands.

Basically, anyone with a little common sense knows that it is a high-tech car developed by Xu Shenxue, and it is awesome... Even if they don’t know exactly how it is awesome, it is awesome.

Otherwise, why do so many people, besides the high-income group of technology enthusiasts, also buy Hailan cars, including some ordinary wealthy people and rich second generations?

Driving this thing out will really make you proud... and no one will say that you are worshipping foreigners and playing with sports cars instead of doing your job properly. On the contrary, when you talk about it, you can even say: Support domestic cars, it's no big deal!
In today's China, no, it should be said that globally, "playing" with HaiLan SEC is a trend among the wealthy and high-income practitioners in the high-tech field.

Almost every boss and executive of the domestic Internet and other high-tech companies owns one... Whether they can drive one is one thing, but having one is another.

The boss of Party A has a Hailan SEC. When they were talking about cars before the contract, he excitedly said that he got a Hailan SEC luxury version and how awesome its automatic driving was. As the boss of Party B, do you have the nerve to show the keys to your BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche in your pocket?
This car has become a high-tech trend!
In fact, some wealthy people and executives in the Internet and high-tech fields are not interested in electric vehicles and autonomous driving technology, and are even worried about it.

But people around me are always saying that it is a high-tech or domestically produced car, and if I don't buy a Hailan SEC, it seems like I have a rigid mindset and have become an old-fashioned person who can't keep up with the times.

In the end, they bought one reluctantly. After all, for these bosses and high-tech executives, hundreds of thousands of dollars are not a lot of money!

In this way, when you talk to a group of bosses and executives, you can confidently say to them: Although I came here in a BMW or Mercedes-Benz today, I sent my family's Hailan SEC for maintenance at that time, and I often drive it myself on weekdays. That car is really good in every way, very advanced, and awesome...

In short, I am expressing that I am also an outstanding high-tech entrepreneur who keeps up with the world trend, pays long-term attention to the high-tech industry, and highly supports domestically produced automobiles!
By the way, I despise the other local bosses who haven't bought Hailan SEC yet. They only know BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi every day. You are behind the times, brother...

Therefore, there is a data that HaiLan Automobile has never made public, that is, a considerable portion of HaiLan SEC's orders in China are corporate orders... In addition to the various companies under Xu Shenxue, in order to support their own boss's automobile industry, they will give priority to HaiLan Automobile when purchasing corporate cars, resulting in a batch of corporate procurement orders. This is because quite a few bosses buy cars, generally under the name of the company.

This is bullshit!

When many people see the Hailan SEC, they probably think of the wave of high-end people becoming a must-have when the S9 and S10 mobile phones were launched one after another.

At that time, if you didn’t use a mobile phone from another brand, you would be embarrassed to take out your mobile phone when attending a high-end dinner.

Well, it's the same now... No one will think you are behind the times or anything, they just simply can't understand why you don't buy an S series phone but use other crappy phones instead.

The current HaiLan Automobile probably has similar signs. Of course, this is only limited to high-income groups in some high-tech industries. It is not the case in ordinary industries. Many bosses are still enthusiasts and supporters of Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

It is actually very difficult for ordinary automobile manufacturers to compare with Hailan Automobile, especially in the pure electric field.

Hailan cars are naturally appealing because of their high-tech attributes.

However, domestic automobile manufacturers are far from sufficient in this regard. In fact, the current domestic cars are still considered by the majority of consumers to be synonymous with low-end, cheap and poor quality. Not to mention the price range of hundreds of thousands, even those over 200,000 are not good and consumers do not accept them.

This is also the reason why several current domestic automobile manufacturers are basically targeting the mid- and low-end segments.

Of course, foreign car manufacturers are not much better. Although they are arrogant and have plans for high-end electric vehicles, they lack the technology... This is very embarrassing, isn't it?

----

The Hailan SEC first began deliveries in Europe in February, followed by deliveries in the United States, and then other regions.

For a time, there was a wave of discussion about electric vehicles around the world, especially about Hailan Automobile's autonomous driving technology.

Amidst this heated discussion, Xu Shenxue has already shifted his focus from Hailan Automobile to his current core industry, namely Zhiyun Group.

As March approaches, Zhiyun Group will also launch its spring press conference.

Zhiyun Group holds three important product launch conferences a year, mainly launching the new generation of notebooks and tablets, and smart watches. The spring launch of these three major product categories is quite important.

Each of them is an important product with annual sales of tens of millions and revenue of billions or even more than 10 billion US dollars.

Although these products belong to the second tier within Zhiyun Group and cannot be compared with the core business of mobile phones, this is compared with Zhiyun's product line.

If these products were put outside, with revenues of tens of billions or even tens of billions of dollars, each one alone could support a large enterprise.

Even within Zhiyun Group, the revenue from these second-tier products is extremely important, supporting a small half of Zhiyun Group's revenue and profits.

In early March, Xu Shenxue convened a strategic meeting to make work arrangements around the spring press conference.

However, these are things that have been done for a long time. No new blockbuster products were launched at this year's spring conference. They were just upgrades to old products, so the Zhiyun Group is very familiar with this.

Among them, the S404 chip installed on the new tablet is worthy of attention. This is Zhiyun’s first quad-core chip for its own use, and it is also a -bit chip.

For Zhiyun Semiconductor, quad-core chips are not technically difficult to produce. They were launched to the market last year and supplied to other mobile phone manufacturers in the W500 series of quad-core chips. Wecoo Electronics also uses one of its flagship quad-core chips.

However, Zhiyun itself does not use it, but insists on using high-performance dual-core chips.

This year, Zhiyun has decided to adopt a quad-core chip, but it is not four large cores, but a large and small core architecture of two large cores and two small cores.

To some extent, Zhiyun still uses a dual-core chip. As for the reason, there is no special reason. Zhiyun's Yun OS operating system pays more attention to the support and smoothness of the current tasks, so it requires stronger single-core performance, but the multi-core performance requirements are not high.

The change from dual-core to quad-core with big and small core architecture is actually not that big of a change. The really big change is the sixty-four bits!

Whether it is the previous Zhiyun mobile phone or other brands of mobile phones, they all use 32-bit operating systems, and the corresponding SOCs are naturally the same.

But this year, Zhiyun will fully promote the 64-bit plan, from chips to operating systems, to software adaptation, and will fully move towards 64 bits.

Coincidentally, the fruit company next door is also fully promoting the 64-digit plan.

The two leading smart terminal companies are in step with each other in their pursuit of technological advancement...

In fact, Fruit heard last year that Zhiyun was working on the 64-bit plan, so they also launched the corresponding plan in advance.

Interestingly, Zhiyun also learned that Fruit had a 64-digit plan, so they felt a sense of crisis and accelerated the research and development of the 64-digit plan.

In the end, a situation of competing with each other was formed, and everyone decided to fully promote the 64-digit plan this year.

Neither of these two companies wants to lag behind their opponent even by one step, so the technological competition can be said to be quite fierce!

As the vanguard of Zhiyun Group's Sixty-Four Plan, YunPad, the Zhiyun tablet computer product, will be the first to set off a wave of sixty-four technology competition!

Among its chips that support 400-bit operating systems, the S series chips are undoubtedly the top priority.

Among them, the S404 chip specially designed for tablet computers has extremely powerful performance!
At the group meeting, Fu Zhengyang, senior vice president of Zhiyun Group and general manager of Zhiyun Semiconductor, introduced the chip to Xu Shenxue and other executives: "This is the most powerful mobile chip we have ever developed, including that of other friendly companies."

"The S400 series chips are manufactured using our group's self-developed -nanometer process. We built two large cores and two small cores in the chip, a total of four CPU cores, using dynamic main frequency technology; it is also equipped with four AP graphics processing cores, as well as co-processing cores, security cores, communication baseband and other functional cores."

"The number of transistors has reached an astonishing 300 billion, which is twice the number of transistors in the previous generation S, and the performance has increased by more than times."

"The S400 chip in the S404 series, which is designed specifically for tablets, has a main frequency of 1.8 GHZ. Its single-core performance is more powerful than the previous generation, about twice as good. The performance of the AP75 graphics processing core has also more than doubled compared to last year's old product. It will be smoother when running various large tasks and supporting games."

"This chip is sufficient even for use in laptops."

"To be honest, it's a bit of a waste to use it on our tablets."

"So we will also try to launch a 13-inch large-screen version of this tablet, and launch a tablet case with a built-in keyboard, trying to move the tablet into the field of light office use."

"This attempt can also lay some ecological foundation and technical reserves for our ARM-based notebooks in the future."
