262: Super god Dawn S1 mobile phone!
As for the phone's performance, the mobile phone processor R&D department hasn't been idle these past few months.
Although the core instruction set is still the previous phoenix s1 instruction set, under Ni Guangnan's leadership, a new microprocessor architecture has been developed in recent months.
Under this new microprocessor architecture, even though it still uses the 130nm process, the performance has improved by about 10% compared to before, with the CPU score rising from 946 to 1087.
As for GPU graphics display performance, it has also received synchronous enhancement and updates.
It has now been updated to the second-generation Phoenix T20 graphics display core, and the score has also greatly improved, rising from the original 1357 to 1521.
Therefore, in terms of mobile phone performance, Shuguang Mobile Phone has undoubtedly achieved a significant improvement, once again widening the gap with the Motorola S1 Mobile Phone.
And this is also the advantage of having one's own instruction set and mobile phone system; with one's own instruction set and mobile phone system, one can design improvements however one wants, without being constrained by external factors.
This is also something Texas Instruments is extremely envious of, even though they eventually developed the OMAP1750 mobile phone processor with stronger graphics display performance due to feeling the pressure from Shuguang Technology.
However, because Texas Instruments did not obtain the highest authorization at the ARM9 instruction set architecture level, they can improve GPU performance, but improving CPU performance is difficult.
The final result is that compared to the previous generation OMAP1710 mobile phone processor, the OMAP1750 mobile phone processor only saw a significant improvement in graphics display performance, with no improvement in CPU performance.
After all, they only have the right to use the ARM926, but they cannot modify or strengthen the ARM926, so the effect in competition with Shuguang Technology is naturally not good.
Therefore, in this situation, even though Shuguang Technology's process is one generation behind, it still won the first round by relying on the enemy's slow reaction and lack of high attention.
Although Lin Chen knows that this victory is only temporary, after all, they have the 90nm process.
The difference between 130-nanometer and 90-nanometer is too great; once they pay serious attention, the hope for the Phoenix Mobile Phone processor to continue winning is very slim.
Taking Intel's Prescott (Fire Dragon Processor) and pentium 4 processor as an example, the pentium 4 processor uses the 130nm process and has 55 million transistors.
Meanwhile, Intel's Prescott (Fire Dragon Processor) uses the 90nm process, with a core chip area 20% smaller than the pentium 4, yet the number of transistors reached a terrifying 125 million!
The core chip area is only 80% of theirs, yet it has nearly 70 million more transistors than others; this is the terrifying change after the process technology improved to 90-nanometer!
And this is only using 80% of the core chip area; if the same core chip area were used, wouldn't the total number of transistors be able to reach 155 million?
So, although 90-nanometer and 130-nanometer seem to only be a mere 40-nanometer reduction, they can actually fit about twice the number of transistors!
From a long-term perspective, it is almost impossible for 130-nanometer to defeat 90-nanometer, after all, how can a mere 50 million transistors beat 150 million transistors?
The difference in transistor count is too great; once they pay serious attention, the hope for victory is very slim!
Moreover, A.R.M is not a simple company, and Texas Instruments is not a simple company either.
They have been surpassed by Shuguang Technology twice in a row, and have been slapped in the face twice; presumably, they will soon go crazy and spend heavily to unleash a big move!
Once they fully leverage the leading advantage of the 90nm process, the future will see the Phoenix S2 Mobile Phone processor being completely crushed.
However, the development of mobile phone chips cannot be completed in a short time; even the Apple Mobile Phone in its previous life took 18 months from project initiation and development to the release of its next-generation mobile phone chip!
Shuguang Technology being able to update its second-generation mobile phone processor in just a few months is actually a result of Lin Chen's cheat.
Otherwise, according to the regular development speed of mobile phone chips, the release date of the next-generation Phoenix S2 Mobile Phone processor might have to wait until the end of 2004.
At this time, considering that A.R.M has been developing the next-generation A.R.M core for a long time, the time to launch the next-generation chip core will certainly not take as long as 18 months.
But no matter what, at least for the next half year, the performance of the Phoenix S2 Mobile Phone chip will be the best in the world.
Even if this is a short-term victory gained because the enemy didn't pay attention, it is still a victory!
So, at the press conference, hundreds of reporters and thousands of guests looked at the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone and all exclaimed in admiration.
"It's insane, this phone is too powerful!"
"This Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone is simply godlike!"
"It's so satisfying, this is simply a work of art!"
"The camera effect of this phone is too strong, although the pixel count is only 2 million, I feel the effect is comparable to what a 4-megapixel camera can achieve!"
"That's right, the photography is great, and the phone's performance is also super strong; whether it's for taking photos or playing games, there's no lag at all."
"Although this phone doesn't have dual displays, I feel this phone is better than the Motorola S1 Mobile Phone; both in terms of photography and performance, it surpasses the Motorola S1 Mobile Phone!"
"That's right, while not having dual displays is indeed a pity, if I had to choose between the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone and the Motorola S1 Mobile Phone, I would still buy the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone."
"Indeed, while the dual-display design is stunning, ultimately, I still prefer the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone for its better camera and stronger performance!"...
The people at the scene burst into exclamations, with a chorus of praise for the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone.
The Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone is a very satisfying phone; although it doesn't have dual displays, its super strong camera effect and super strong phone performance alone have satisfied countless people.
Therefore, the people at the scene were infinitely satisfied with the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone, finding almost nothing to be displeased about.
Of course, there must be some areas of dissatisfaction, which is the fact that Shuguang Mobile Phone only produces 600,000 units a year, or only 50,000 units a month.
In this situation, while people marveled at the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone, they also harbored a lot of resentment towards the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants.
After all, due to the despicable tactics of the Four Major Mobile Phone Giants, only 50,000 units of the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone can be produced each month.
These mere 50,000 units of the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone facing the Global market are naturally destined to be unobtainable for many people, so what else could cause their strong resentment?
Under such circumstances, with the conclusion of the Shuguang Technology product launch event.
Many Global media outlets reporting on the Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone inevitably carried a hint of regret and resentment.
...
"The most regrettable phone in history: Shuguang S1 Mobile Phone!"
This was the headline of the Penguin Portal Website. (End of this chapter)
