158: Chapter 158 Flowers Can Bloom Even in the Desert

"The next selling point is..."

The big screen suddenly went black, and then a short video appeared.

《What Level Is China's Semiconductor Industry Really At》

"In 1983, the world's first commercial mobile phone, the DynaTAC, was released globally, weighing about 794 grams and priced at 3995...

Since mobile phones entered the Chinese market in 1987, the electronics industry has entered a period of rapid development, from PHS, Feature phone, to today's Smartphone.

The market is constantly changing, but China is still marking time."

Relevant Motorola mobile phones flashed by, making many viewers in the audience feel somewhat agitated.

Some of them had used these classic models.

This promotional video also made them feel a bit stifled; they had manufactured so many mobile phones, but they were all assembled machines, without a shred of real core technology.

It could indeed be called marking time!

"As of before this press conference, the Chinese mobile phone industry has reached an unprecedented scale, with an annual output of hundreds of millions of units, influencing even the global market.

Sales volume ranks first in the world, yet not a single core chip for mobile phones that is completely independently developed can be produced."

"Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Samsung firmly lock the high-end track; we can only assemble, can only outsource, and can only earn some hard-earned money.

Whatever chip others give us, we use; whatever price others set, we have to pay.

As long as others choke our throat, we can only bow our heads, otherwise, they will cut off supply."

Some agitated men in the audience saw this promotional video, clenched their hands tightly, and some flushes appeared on their faces.

This was not shyness, but anger.

"Entering the 2000s, it has been 10 years now. These 10 years have been 10 years of rapid development for the electronics industry, but also 10 years of marking time.

In mobile phone manufacturing, there are finished products but no soul; there is output but no core."

"We can manufacture the most mobile phones in the world, yet we cannot manufacture a heart of our own."

Zhang Shiqing, sitting in the audience, also silently clenched his fists; this was the most discouraging part.

Low-price dumping makes you feel that manufacturing is not as good as buying, and buying is not as good as renting.

The Lithography Machine project of the past was forced to be abandoned under this mentality. In the past, China's Lithography Machine technology was only about one generation behind foreign countries.

But now it would take 10 or even 20 years to catch up. Fortunately, Shen Fei took advantage of the economic crisis to fish out a lot of good things from the United States.

Only then was there a turning point.

While they were reminiscing, the narration sounded again:

"But today, everything has been completely rewritten.

From having nothing to reaching the top in one step, from a long-term blank to directly shocking the world.

After this press conference, China not only possesses its first completely self-developed chip but also directly tops the world in architecture and energy efficiency with overwhelming performance."

The promotional video ended, and the audience in the audience was immediately hooked, using all their strength to applaud.

Is the China Chip really coming?

Is this day real? Some big men in the audience even wiped away tears with excitement... They had waited too long for this day.

The lights on the stage turned on again, and Shen Fei walked out from the side.

"The transsion s2 is the world's first dual-core SoC manufactured using the 28nm process.

It integrates CPU and GPU, and its performance is three times that of the Qualcomm MSM8255."

Shen Fei held up three fingers, letting everyone take a moment to process it.

In 2010, it was normal for performance in the semiconductor industry to double every 18 months. But three times meant leading by a large generation.

Some people in the audience stood up, and some opened their mouths but couldn't speak.

They all subconsciously ignored that the 28nm process was the most important issue.

"Three times! It's even three times stronger than the strongest chip on Xiaomi, how is this possible?"

"Is he bragging?"

"How could it be bragging? You all look at how many nanometers it is.

This is 28, Qualcomm's is 45... When did the semiconductor industry develop so fast?"

"Is this OEM by TSMC or Samsung?

Is the gap between us and the world's advanced semiconductor technology really that big?"

"I hope the first phase of the National Semiconductor Fund can exert more effort and catch up as soon as possible."

"To the person above, I don't know, but this technology shouldn't exist in the world..."

"That means..."

Some men in the audience stared at the big screen in disbelief. Either the process is fake, or...

Unimaginable! Really unimaginable!

"I know most of you might not believe it." Shen Fei smiled, "Then let's run a benchmark first. Then I will explain the detailed design."

Many people in the audience nodded!

They didn't understand the technical jargon, and this kind of straightforward number could make them understand what performance level the chip was at.

The Super Rabbit appeared on the big screen again.

The Taishan 900 enhanced version started running the benchmark, the numbers soared, and finally settled at 9152 points.

Next to it was the Qualcomm 8255 benchmark score of 2886.

It was more than three times higher. The whole venue was boiling, and someone took out their mobile phone to start taking pictures and posting on Weibo.

Mr. Ren sat in the audience, calm on the surface, but equally excited inside.

Two years ago, "Big Mouth Yu" mentioned wanting to develop self-developed chips. He vetoed it at the time; this industry was too deep and easy to drown in.

But Big Mouth Yu was a stubborn donkey; after Huaxin Investment, he increased the project budget of the semiconductor department at the first opportunity, and now it is also being developed in an orderly manner.

Now it seems that this is indeed a lucky general!

I hope their semiconductor department can also stand up as soon as possible. With a big daddy's help, surpassing MediaTek should be quite simple.

...

Meanwhile, California, United States.

Steve Jobs sat in his office, and the computer in front of him was playing the live broadcast of the Transsion press conference.

He didn't know Chinese, but there was an interpreter translating on the side.

When the translator said that the chip performance exceeded the Qualcomm 8255 by more than 3 times and adopted the 28nm process, his pupils shrank slightly.

He picked up his iPhone 3GS, which he thought was perfect, looked at that 480p screen, and looked at that 1220mAh ordinary battery.

Then he looked at the transsion s2 in the live broadcast room, the 720p screen, the 4000mAh big battery, and their popularized fast charging technology.

He was silent for a long time.

"We adopted the latest A9 mobile platform for design, and at the same time adopted a dual-core design. The big core mainly focuses on high-load scenarios such as games, and the small core is mainly used for daily use.

While retaining strong performance, this scheme also has more excellent power consumption."

These introductions made Steve Jobs feel more and more that his iphone 4 was a piece of junk.

"When did China have such a company?"

The interpreter on the side didn't know how to answer...

Steve Jobs watched for a while longer, then turned off the live broadcast. He had a huge idea in his heart.

This year's iphone 4 cannot fail in the Chinese market again, otherwise they really won't be able to stand up.

Should this imperfect product be returned to the furnace to be rebuilt...

But the iPhone had already been mass-produced. The screen it carried was a 3.5-inch screen with 960 × 640 pixels, with a pixel density of 326 PPI. Under normal observation, the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels at all.

They even gave this screen a brand new name called Retina display.

But now this term has been snatched away by Transsion. How many things did this thief steal from them?

Looking at his opponent, he felt a trace of uncertainty for the first time.

"Notify the convening of the shareholders' meeting to discuss major issues."
