Chapter 412 Huateng New Generation Chip

The time has come to the end of the year. At this time, various companies are beginning to prepare for the journey to the market next year.

And at the end of December this year, news of the issuance of 5G licenses came out within Huaguo's communications department. After all, it plans to start piloting in several major cities across the country next year.

This also means that starting next year, all mobile phone manufacturers are preparing to enter the 5G era.

The 5G era is an era with a huge turning point. If various mobile phone manufacturers can seize this opportunity, they can completely achieve a real comeback.

Huateng has also begun to prepare for the 5G era next year.

The latest Huateng k100 baseband chip has also been officially designed.

This latest plug-in baseband chip is actually produced by Huateng after several months of research.

This chip is a single-chip multi-mode 5G module that can realize the adjustment of 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G and other network standards in a single chip.

And this effective adjustment can reduce delay and power consumption when data alternates.

And such a chip supports the global nsa and sa networking methods, and supports FDD and TDD to realize the use of the whole frequency band.

Of course, a chip that can achieve 5G network speed must depend on the speed of the network.

This brand new chip can reach a peak of 5G per second in terms of the frequency used by 3.4G, which is basically more than 4 times faster than the current 10G network.

That is to say, after such a chip is applied to the mobile phone, the speed of the mobile phone in the use of the 5G network can meet the most basic requirements of the basic 5G network.

Of course, in terms of power consumption, in order to realize baseband power saving, many designs have been made in this aspect of the architecture, which can have outstanding performance in terms of power consumption.

"Tomorrow, this external baseband chip will definitely be put on the market, and it will become a major competitiveness of Tianyu mobile phones by then!"

Tong Hao is still very satisfied with the fact that this plug-in is a baseband chip. After all, the level of this plug-in baseband chip is not bad, and if it is applied to a mobile phone, it will definitely have a very good effect.

Of course, in addition to the external baseband chip this time, Huateng has also prepared a processor chip for next year this time.

Huateng G series, Z series, and X series, which are quite capable.

Last year, Huateng's chip shipments were slightly lower than the previous year.

Last year's Qualcomm processor chip showed a very strong strength, coupled with the rise of MediaTek, the Huateng processor chip market has shrunk by nearly 20%.

Of course, this is the law of market development, but Huateng's current strength and status can basically be compared with Qualcomm.

Even the status of China Teng's entry-exit chips and Qualcomm processor chips in the hearts of many domestic consumer users has basically reached the same level.

Starting from 19, this time, Huateng's high-end and some mid-range processor chips will adopt the latest 7nm process technology.

Although the Huateng G850+ processor chip has reached a certain level, it has not really reached a perfect level. There are certain problems in power consumption and heat generation. As a result, the reputation of this processor chip is not as good as that of previous generations. The device has become so good.

With this relative failure experience, Huateng Company can be said to have learned from the past, and strengthened the research and development of the processor chip manufacturing process.

Finally, the second-generation 7-nanometer process technology has been completed, so that the production of processor chips can truly reach the level of TSMC.

The new processor chip, power consumption and heat generation have reached the expected level.

However, with the development of technology, it is very common for current processor chips to be updated, especially last year's update.

Huateng has two flagship processor chips, G850 and G850+.

As the processor of Huateng’s old rival Qualcomm, there are now two flagship-level processor chips, Qualcomm Fire Dragon K825 and Qualcomm Fire Dragon K830.

There are even two Kirin processor chips, a Kirin 980 and a Kirin 980+ chip.

However, the 7nm process technology starting from next year is basically almost mature, and the replacement is very fast like this year, basically not as fast as this year.

And this time Huateng G series processors and chips have also begun to launch Huateng 6 series processor chips.

“这是华腾G860处理器芯片，采用了最为全新的7纳米制程工艺，这次处理器芯片我们取消了原先的1+3+4的架构，采用了4+4的架构！”

Zhang Rujin is still very confident about the most high-end flagship processor chip developed by the company this time. This time, he canceled the previous 1+3+4 architecture and adopted a more stable 4+4 architecture.

Using 4 large cores plus 4 small core architectures, while maintaining the performance of the processor chip, it can also maintain the heat generation and power consumption of the chip.

“这一次采用了4颗A76的大核以及4颗A55的小核心，在CPU性能方面提升了10%，在GPU方面提升了15%。”

"At the same time, this processor chip has also made some improvements in ISP and DSP. The ISP has added a core, and the AI ​​​​computing has increased by 80%!"

This time, the brand new processor chip has improved its performance quite well, and it has also made a certain improvement in the comprehensive level of frequency.

Compared with Huateng G860+, the improvement of Huateng G850 this time is normal. It belongs to the basic way of improvement, and it can completely become the next generation of processor chips.

If we look at the performance of this processor chip based on the current running scores, it can basically reach a score of about 51 on a certain Tutu. If it is equipped with higher storage and flash memory specifications, it can also reach a score close to The standard of 54.

All in all, this processor chip is fully capable of serving as a flagship processor chip in 19 years.

If there are no accidents, this processor chip will continue to be used for a whole year in 100. If there is no change, the most important thing is to add an external baseband K5 to increase the [-]G capability.

Although it is said that next year will be the year when 5G will officially arrive, but in the first half of the year, basically no manufacturers will release 5G mobile phones. Only when the pilot cities are completely determined in the second half of the year, and the start is completely ready, other mobile phone manufacturers can truly launch 5G mobile phones. launch [-]G mobile phones.

That is to say, among the mobile phones released in the first half of next year, there will be no mobile phones equipped with external basebands. Even if there are models that use Huateng G860 in the mobile phone processor, they will not use Huateng K100 external baseband chips.

Of course, this time Huateng G series also brought two other low-end processor chips, Huateng G760 processor chip and Huateng G660 processor chip.

However, these two processor chips have not been upgraded too much to be honest, and they have not improved much compared to last year's chips.

“这一次的华腾G760采用的是和华腾G860同样的4+4的架构，只不过将4颗A76大核心变成了四颗A76的中核心以及四颗A55的小核心！”

A76 is currently the most mature public version architecture, which is divided into three different cores, including A76 large core, A76 medium core, and A76 small core.

像童浩那个时代所推出的海思麒麟810采用的就是两颗a76的大核心，加上6个a55的小核心，而高通骁龙765只是采用了全系H6的核心，分别为一颗A76的大核，一颗A76的中核，以及6颗A76的小核心。

And this time Huateng G760 is quite a low-end version of Huateng G860 processor chip, and its performance is equivalent to the level of Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G of its own era.

Compared with the previous generation of Huateng G750, this kind of performance has a very small improvement, and the improvement of CPU and GPU is only about 5%.

Of course, the mid-to-low-end processor chips in this world have been greatly improved in recent years, which has also caused the high-end processors of many chip manufacturers to not sell well.

However, with the attention of various manufacturers, starting from next year, most manufacturers will temporarily suppress the upgrade of low-end processors.

Start to consider using the policy of squeezing toothpaste to face all consumers today.

Although this time the mobile phone has not improved much in terms of CPU and GPU, it has indeed made great upgrades in other aspects.

First of all, this mobile phone has also added a core in the ISP, which has improved the camera level algorithm of the mobile phone to a certain extent.

At the same time, the AI ​​algorithm this time has improved by 70% compared to the previous generation, which is basically comparable to last year's flagship processor chip Huateng G850.

In addition to these, the biggest upgrade is power consumption and heat generation.

After all, this processor chip uses the latest 7-nanometer process technology, which has increased the energy consumption ratio by almost 50% this time, and the heat generation is more ideally controlled.

All in all, this time the mid-range processor chip has improved overall but not by much.

This year, the gap between mid-range processors and high-end processors has gradually widened, thus highlighting the advantages of high-end processor chips.

Mid-end processor chips use the way of squeezing toothpaste, and low-end processor chips use more ways to squeeze toothpaste.

The gap between Huateng's mid-to-low-end processor chips last year is reflected in the performance. To be honest, the gap is not very big. In terms of running points, the low-end processor chips have reached about 22 points, while the mid-range processing chips It also reached about 29 points.

To be honest, the gap between the two is not very large, and many users even think that the mid-range processor and the low-end processor are very similar this time.

Compared with last year's Huateng G650, the low-end processors studied now squeeze out less toothpaste.

"This time, the Huateng G660 processor chip uses one A76 large core, three A76 small cores, and four A55 small cores."

"This time the CPU and GPU of the chip have improved by about 3%!"

This time, the Huateng G660 processor, a low-end processor for the low-end market, has a very small performance improvement. Even if it is described in terms of running points, this processor chip can hardly even reach 25 points. Breaking through the top is at most 24 points.

Such a processor chip is worthy of the name, the real toothpaste squeezer, of course, the mid-range processor has already squeezed the toothpaste, and the low-end processor will naturally continue to squeeze the toothpaste.

"Although there is not much improvement in performance, this time we have adopted a 10-nanometer process technology, which has increased the power consumption and energy consumption ratio by nearly 35%, and at the same time has increased the AI ​​computing by 45%!"

Zhang Rujin also knows that in the current situation, it is impossible for low-end processors and mid-end processors to have more improvements.

After all, if the upgrade is too fast at that time, it will inevitably make the form of the high-end processor chip very bad. To be honest, the toothpaste squeezed this time is a last resort.

Of course, this time Huateng G series processor chips have improved the level of high-end processor chips very well. Although the performance of the mid-to-low end has been squeezed, it has also improved in other aspects.

"The Huateng Z400 processor chip has also been designed?"

Tong Hao looked at the Huateng G series processor chip designed by the company for next year, and he was quite satisfied.

However, it pays more attention to the Huateng Z series processor chip this time. After all, this processor chip will basically be launched before March and April next year. chip.

The Huateng Z series processor chip is also a sub-flagship processor chip in the middle of the flagship to mid-range processor series, second only to the current Huateng G8 series processor chip.

“这一次的华腾Z400处理器芯片采用的是1+3+4的架构，和华腾G860的处理器芯片有所不同，采用了一颗A76的大核心，以及3颗A76的中核心，以及4颗A55小核心。”

This time the Huateng Z400 processor chip.The architecture used is naturally not as strong as the current Huateng G860, so in terms of performance, it is also not as good as the Huateng G860, not even the Huateng G850+.

And this Huateng Z400 processor chip is almost slightly stronger than Huateng G850 in terms of performance. Compared with the previous generation Huateng Z300, the CPU and GPU have improved by less than 5%.

In terms of performance, if it is really based on the running score, it can only reach a score of about 45 at most.

To be honest, this high-end processor chip is really close to toothpaste. Of course, this is also a series of changes made to be able to distinguish products.

Since the processor chips were truly divided into three series last year, the positioning of the three series has gradually become obvious.

Like ordinary Huateng G series processor chips, compared with the main comprehensive performance, Huateng Z series processor chips are slightly behind in terms of performance, but there are many breakthroughs in imaging and other aspects.

As for the Huateng X-series processor chip, it has a very strong advantage in terms of performance, but it lags behind in other aspects.

The CPU, GPU, ISP and DSP of the G series are relatively comprehensive, and the ISP and DSP of the Z series are stronger.

The CPU of the X series is relatively ordinary, but the GPU has indeed been greatly improved.

“这一次华腾Z400处理器芯片在ISP方面增加了三个核心，相比于华腾G860强上了70%左右，并且支持2亿像素的合成拍照算法以及8K30帧的视频拍摄。”

This time, the ISP improvement of the Huateng Z400 processor chip is very huge, even much stronger than that of the Huateng G860.

"In addition to the upgrade in this area, the AI ​​​​computing has increased by 110%, which is 860% stronger than the Huateng G40."

Although the Huateng Z400 processor chip this time has not improved greatly in terms of GPU and CPU, but this time the improvement in ISP and DSP is huge.

From this point of view, it can also be seen that Huateng has taken its own path for the Z series processor chips.

Gradually, it began to differentiate from the Huateng G series 8-series processor chip, and has its own most accurate positioning.

"The Z400 processor chip can be released in a different way. Maybe this processor chip is not suitable for the peak T series products. This processor chip is more suitable for the top-notch mobile phone!"

Regarding the Huateng Z400 processor chip this time, Tong Hao gradually had his own ideas in his mind. He felt that it was time to turn some chips to another development direction.

The Huateng Z series processor chips may be more suitable for use on top-of-the-line mobile phones, and the Huateng G860 is more suitable for the released peak mobile phone T series.

As for the peak mobile phone digital series released in the second half of the year, other methods can be used to make the Huateng G860 unique in the first half of the year.

"And this time, the Huateng X125, X125T, and X125+ we developed have also improved a lot overall."

After introducing the ordinary digital series and the Z series, the X series that focuses on performance will naturally follow.

Of course, except for the X125 processor chip this time, the other processor chips use a 7-nanometer process technology.

“X125+处理器芯片采用的是4+4的核心架构，运用的是4颗A76的大核以及四颗A55的核心，在架构方面和华腾G860一样的。”

"But this time, the frequency of a large core in the Huateng A76 has been increased from 2.65GHz to 2.8GHz, which greatly improves the performance of this processor chip."

"This time the CPU and GPU have been improved by 10%. As for the ISP supporting 64MP synthesis algorithm and 4K30 frame video shooting, the AI ​​​​algorithm has been improved by 40%."

This time, the performance of the Huateng X125+ processor chip has been improved a lot, and even the video camera operation has also been improved.

And if this processor chip is really judged by the running score, the comprehensive running score can definitely reach the level of 53 points, but due to the architecture design of the chip, it is natural that the best specifications cannot be used in terms of flash memory and storage.

Huateng G860 can support higher flash memory and pre-stored specifications, and the final running score will naturally be better.

However, this processor chip is indeed very powerful, it is a full-fledged game chip, and it has a very good standard.

Of course, in addition to the Huateng X125+ this time, the other two X-series processor chips also have a very good standard and performance, and they are definitely very cost-effective processor chips.
