Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Once Xingyi Semiconductor starts the "micro-profit foundry" mode, it will scramble for orders.

By then, the entire chip foundry industry will enter an era of "zero profit" or even "negative profit"!

It depends on who dies first!

There is no doubt that Intel, the son of Emperor M, is large in scale and has the highest costs, so it is bound to have "negative profits" and may even become the first of the Big Three to die!

Samsung Semiconductor has high costs, but it is supported by its own mobile phone, tablet, TV and other businesses. It may be able to survive, but it will be half-crippled.

The situation for TSMC is also not optimistic. Once it loses a large number of orders and profits, it will most likely be crippled if not dead. If there is another earthquake, it will be completely finished.

Xingyi Semiconductor, which has the lowest cost, is more optimistic.

While other competitors have zero or even negative profits, Xingyi Semiconductor can still maintain a small profit, which is enough.

This is the advantage of low cost!

As for GlobalFoundries, STMicroelectronics and the like, they cannot win the market with high-end technology, nor can they win the market with mid- and low-end technology, and they all have negative profits. They are expected to die faster.

To put it bluntly, Wang Yizhen turned the table over, and used "zero-profit" foundry services to kill Intel and TSMC and send away half of its competitors. He will then slowly raise prices and continue to make money.

This is how domestic Internet giants played the game in the past.

First, they spend money to grab the market and customers, and then, after their competitors have been outlasted and a multi-oligopoly is formed, they raise prices together to make a lot of money.

If the other party pushes him into a corner, Wang Yi doesn't mind applying this method to the semiconductor field and wafer foundry.

The strategy of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own is not a good strategy, but it works and is invincible!

But by then, the United States may have to give up...

Unless they want to see Intel die in a foundry price war.

The premise for all this is to build more factories, buy more photolithography machines and other equipment, and realize independent research and development of photoresist!

In this regard, Wang Yi made a decision:

"There will be no problem with the second phase of the expansion of the Imperial Capital wafer factory. Mr. Hu, please have someone prepare a feasibility analysis report, and I will go to the Imperial Capital to obtain the land."

"Here!" Mr. Hu was delighted and took out a document directly!

Wang Yi's mouth twitched: "..."

"Mr. Hu, are you ready?"

Mr. Hu laughed and said, "I am worried that the production capacity is not enough."

"Okay, I'll leave the 28nm process to you, and I'll take care of the fab expansion!"

Wang Yi smiled and flipped through the feasibility analysis report. It was very professional and took every aspect into consideration.

Even whether the second phase of construction would affect the first phase of the factory was mentioned.

The Xingyi wafer factory was built to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake and will not be affected by a magnitude 4 or 5 earthquake.

In addition, there are green spaces and roads between Phase I and Phase II, as well as the office building, dormitory building and canteen of the Phase I wafer factory, which is the Phase I wafer factory's R&D center and factory building.

To put it bluntly, the Phase II project is several kilometers away from the Phase I factory and will not cause any impact.

Wang Yi flipped through the report and said, "Mr. Hu, I'll send it up as soon as possible. Let's take pictures as soon as possible. I'll leave the wafer factory to you. I'll celebrate your success tonight!"

"Thank you, Chairman!" Mr. Hu was in a good mood.

Following Wang Yi is a comfortable life. If you have any request, as long as you raise it, Wang Yi will satisfy it.

If you want one wafer fab, we can give you two!

In the afternoon, Wang Yi returned to Xingyi Technology Park and went straight to the semiconductor department.

"Chairman, the specific performance of Kunpeng 702, Kunpeng 700 and Wing Loong 3000 has all been tested!"

Williams smiled and took out two mobile phones:

"The one on the left is the original Xphone 1 Pro, equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 3. The other configurations on the right are exactly the same as the left, except that the processor has been replaced with Kunpeng 702!"

"After our tests, the Kunpeng version of the xphone 1 has a 1% improvement in CPU performance, a 33% improvement in GPU performance, a 102% reduction in power consumption, and a 31-degree reduction in temperature compared to the Nvidia version of the xphone 5. It can be said that it is an all-round improvement."

Wang Yi was silent: "..."

I can only say that Nvidia's tegra 3 is just too lame. Apart from being the world's first quad-core mobile phone chip, it's not good at anything else.

Especially the GPU performance, it's terrible.

"How does it compare with Qualcomm APQ 8064?" Wang Yi asked the key question.

It is not surprising that Kunpeng 702 beats Nvidia Tegra 3. The key is to compare with Qualcomm.

Williams took out two more phones and said, "Mr. Wang, the one on your left is the original Xphone 2, equipped with Qualcomm APQ 8064, and the one on your right is the Xphone 702 equipped with Kunpeng 2."

Williams then opened the video he had just recorded during the test:

"You see, the CPU of the Kunpeng version of the Xphone 2 is similar to the Qualcomm version, and the GPU performance is slightly 2% stronger. The power consumption is 1% higher than Qualcomm, and the temperature is 1.3 degrees higher than Qualcomm."

"In general, thanks to the V8 architecture, which is one generation ahead of the competition, the 40nm Kunpeng 702 and the 28nm Qualcomm APQ 8064 have the same performance!"

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "It's not a tie, but we have the advantage."

"Don't forget, we have already optimized the APQ 8064 version of xphone 2. As for the Kunpeng 702 version of xphone 2, we have only made simple optimizations and have not yet carried out in-depth optimization!"

Williams suddenly realized: "Yes! The Kunpeng 702 without deep optimization can be on par with Qualcomm APQ 8064. Once the Kunpeng 702 is deeply optimized, it can definitely lead Qualcomm! It's hard to say how much more, but a 10% lead is not a big problem."

"Plus, our integrated Pterosaur 3000 baseband supports mobile 3G, which is more advantageous than Qualcomm's solution!"

"That's right, this time Kunpeng 702 was completely successful. Well done, let's celebrate tonight!" Wang Yi was in a good mood.

Huawei's K3v1 failed, K3v2 turned over, but Kunpeng 702 succeeded in one go and is still far ahead. It can only be said that the people poached from Texas Instruments are very powerful.

After all, when it comes to making chips, Texas Instruments has always crushed Qualcomm and Samsung.

Texas Instruments' 512M dual-core chip can compete on equal terms with Qualcomm's 1G dual-core chip, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

Now that it has been killed by Qualcomm, it’s just a baseband issue.

Williams, however, was not at all proud: "Chairman, we have also tested the Kunpeng 700."

Williams then opened a new test video:

“鲲鹏702是1.7G的主频，鲲鹏700是1.方面鲲鹏700比鲲鹏702弱30%左右，比英伟达tegra 3的CPU还略强3%。”

Wang Yi fell silent: "..."

The CPU of the low-health Kunpeng 700 has surpassed NVIDIA's Tegra 3?

Are you kidding me?

But this is the test result.

After thinking about it, Wang Yi understood.

Both are 40nm process.

NVIDIA tegra 3 has a main frequency of 1.4G and an A9 architecture.

鲲鹏700是1.3G主频，虽然比tegra 3的1.4G低0.1G，但A53架构却是比A9架构先进一点。

All in all, the CPU of the low-power Kunpeng 700 is slightly stronger than NVIDIA Tegra 3.

“Wouldn’t the GPU be even more powerful?” Wang Yi couldn’t help but ask.

Williams nodded: "Yes, Chairman, Kunpeng 700's GPU is also Mali-T604, but one core is blocked, making it a three-core GPU. Therefore, Kunpeng 700's GPU performance is about 702% lower than Kunpeng 30, but it is still 3% more powerful than NVIDIA's tegra 40!"

What can Wang Yi say?

All I can say is Nvidia is garbage.

打个比方，英伟达tegra 3的GPU性能是100，高通APQ 8064的GPU就是200，鲲鹏702四核GPU就是210。

Even if Kunpeng 700 blocks one core, the remaining three-core GPU still has 140, which is 3% ahead of NVIDIA Tegra 40!

"In this case, Kunpeng 700 beats NVIDIA's Tegra 3, and Kunpeng 702 is directly ahead of APQ 8064!"

After some testing, Wang Yi thoroughly understood the actual performance of the two processors.

It’s just a surprise!

However, using such a powerful Kunpeng 700 on a thousand-yuan phone is equivalent to using NVIDIA Tegra 3 on a thousand-yuan phone. It is a complete waste and even outweighs the main feature.

The performance of a thousand-yuan phone cannot be too strong, otherwise the flagship phone will have difficulty selling.

The previous generation of Redmi will be released in the second half of next year, equipped with MediaTek MT6589T, which is equivalent to Snapdragon 400. It is definitely low-end, far inferior to Nvidia Tegra 3, let alone Kunpeng 700!

In this case, you can adjust your strategy!

The Nvidia Tegra 1 of the Xphone 3 Pro was replaced with Kunpeng 700, and the GPU performance was improved by 40%.

xphone 2的高通APQ 8064，换成鲲鹏702！综合提升10%，外加支持移动3G。

In this way, the two generations of flagship phones can also widen the gap and distinguish the generations.

As for next year's borderless thousand-yuan phone, the Kunpeng 700 is already too powerful, so continue to castrate it and make it into the Kunpeng 500...

In the future, high-quality chips will be made into Kunpeng 702, and low-quality chips that cannot reach high frequency or have a broken GPU core will be made into Kunpeng 700.

If it’s worse, we can make it into Kunpeng 500 and give Wujie a thousand-yuan phone.

In this way, the three levels are separated.

What if there aren’t that many items?

It doesn’t matter, just lower the main frequency of production, and the yield rate will be higher.

As for the Xingyi tablet, the chip also needs to be replaced, but the strategy needs to be changed.

The Xingyi Tablet X1pro was replaced with Kunpeng 700, and the GPU performance was improved by 40%, but it is still not enough.

After all, the third generation of iPad was a complete failure. Half a year after it was launched, Apple is about to launch the fourth generation of iPad. The GPU performance of A4X is so powerful that Kunpeng 6 is no match for it. It will take Kunpeng 700 to do the job.

Therefore, in addition to the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro, a Xingyi Tablet X702 pro equipped with Kunpeng 1 will also be launched.

But the name has to be changed to Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra!

As for the Xingyi Tablet X1 equipped with Qualcomm dual-core, it is too rubbish and its sales volume has gradually declined. Only people who like the eight-inch small screen will continue to purchase it, and production will be gradually reduced.

In the future, we will mainly promote the Xingyi Tablet X700 Pro equipped with Kunpeng 1, and the Xingyi Tablet X702 Ultra equipped with Kunpeng 1!

As for the second generation of the Xingyi Tablet, it will be released next year and will be directly equipped with the 2nm Kunpeng 28!

The main feature is to suppress a generation, with unbeatable performance!

After thinking this through, Wang Yi looked at George and Zhang Chao and said, "The outstanding performance of Kunpeng 700 and Kunpeng 702 shows that the A53 architecture is very successful and that our direction of integrating baseband is very correct."

"George, you are responsible for Kunpeng 901. Follow this idea and get it done as soon as possible!"

"Okay, Chairman. With the experience gained from Kunpeng 702, adding two A53 cores and upgrading the GPU will make Kunpeng 901."

Wang Yi nodded and said, "And Zhang Chao, you and George should work together on this. The key is to integrate the baseband. It would be best if you can directly integrate the 4G baseband. The pressure will fall on Fatty."

Pang Liguo waved his hand and said, "Chairman, we have completed the 40-nanometer 3G baseband, and have also started the 28-nanometer 4G baseband. It is not easy, but it is not a big problem. There is hope for the beginning of next year!"

"Good, very good. If Kunpeng 902 can integrate a 28-nanometer 4G baseband, it will really catch up with Qualcomm and even surpass Qualcomm!" Wang Yi was filled with emotion.

Now Kunpeng 702 has better performance than Qualcomm APQ 8064, the only drawback is that it does not support 4G!

Qualcomm 800, which will be released at the beginning of next year, will be 28 nanometers and will have an integrated 4G baseband.

Kunpeng 902 is also 28 nanometers and has an integrated 4G baseband. Even if it is a few months later, it can still surpass Qualcomm Snapdragon 800.

"Chairman, what should I do?" Williams suddenly asked.
