383: Chapter 383 Voice Transmission: Mount Tai 920 is Here

However, it seemed the audience waiting for a show had been underestimated, as competitors had been releasing flagship phones equipped with Fire Dragon processors over the past few days.

One company even teased a product equipped with the Snapdragon 801 in advance...

In short, with all these press conferences, Transsion had truly fallen, and quite miserably at that.

And Transsion holding a press conference at this time... that was just to crash the party.

Fortunately, Shen Fei was a considerate person; he specifically chose 2:00 PM for this press conference.

After all, this would allow global media to report on it in real-time without having to wait until the next day.

For instance, reporters in New York could start preparing now and broadcast it in their morning news.

Those analysts could sit in their offices, sipping their morning coffee while looking at the data.

As for the engineers in Tokyo, Japan, they could watch the live stream while working overtime late at night.

Shen Fei was always very thoughtful and never considered only the Chinese market.

There was half an hour left before the press conference started, and the audience outside the venue was entering in an orderly fashion.

Meanwhile, the online live stream had also started, attracting a huge crowd right from the beginning.

"Is Transsion going to be far ahead again?"

"I've waited so long, it's finally here. Can this product break 100,000?"

"To the person above, do you know how hard it is to break 100,000? If you ask me, Transsion might as well just invest in AnTuTu, then they can just add whatever chip scores they want. After all, isn't it up to them to decide what the final score is?"

Meanwhile, Lei Jun, who was watching the live stream in Kyoto, suddenly felt that Shen Fei was targeting him again...

After all, investing in AnTuTu was his upcoming plan. He had just prepared to invest, and someone was already spreading such rumors!

But he hadn't told anyone about this plan; how did it leak?

Could it be that the final mole was actually him?

Just as Lei Jun was spiraling into self-doubt, the audience at the venue was very expectant.

A year had passed since Transsion last released a flagship chip.

The world's first 14nm chip had made them proud for a long time.

And even now, only Transsion and Intel could exclusively enjoy 14nm technology, though Intel's yield rate was a bit worrying.

Of course, the international semiconductor supply chain hadn't been idle during this year either; Qualcomm had released the Fire Dragon 800 and the 'firefighter' Snapdragon 801, with scores breaking from 50,000 to 60,000...

But the actual user experience wasn't even as good as the 28nm version of the enhanced Taishan 910...

Samsung's Exynos and Apple's A-series were also competing in the shadows. Regarding the competitors' lead, Transsion had never made any response; in short, no matter what happened, there was no response.

So some people said Transsion was done for, others said Transsion was holding back a big move, and some even said the Taishan series was already at the end of its rope.

Today, the answer was finally revealed.

At 2:00 PM sharp, the lights at the venue gradually dimmed, and the clamor of over 10,000 people entered silent mode as Shen Fei took the stage.

"Good afternoon, friends."

After Shen Fei appeared in the center of the stage, a burst of excited applause erupted from the audience.

"Awesome!"

Just then, a guest in the front row shouted loudly: "Mr. Shen, Qualcomm is starting to push their luck."

"It's time to take back the throne of world number one!"

"We've acquired so many companies, it wouldn't be too much to make moves in multiple fields, would it?"

After saying this, he even turned to look behind him, and the very excited audience also shouted along: "It's not too much!"

"Acquire Qualcomm!"

"Acquire Qualcomm!"

Looking at the enthusiastic audience, Shen Fei could only smile. This group of fans had been cultivated into dyed-in-the-wool hawks, daring to even shout about acquiring Qualcomm.

Qualcomm was the United States' only hope; he had only bought a small stake, and he hadn't really thought about acquiring it, but these fans dared to dream.

"Alright, I'll have Huang Tianya look into it."

Shen Fei also smiled cooperatively at this. Meanwhile, the analysts in the United States... they took this matter very seriously.

After all, it looked like a joke, but Transsion really had the strength.

Could it be that they were really going to launch a new round of targeting against Qualcomm?

As for Qualcomm, they even put down their current work to start studying this Transsion press conference.

"Everyone, quiet down. You've led me astray again; it's time to get down to business."

After saying this, Shen Fei walked back to the center of the stage and looked around.

"Some time ago, following the release of the Fire Dragon flagship processor, a bunch of voices appeared on the internet."

"Some people said that Transsion chips have high benchmark scores, but even higher power consumption?"

"Others said that Transsion chips just stack parameters, generate a lot of heat, and aren't suitable for daily use."

Taishan Chips are strong because they stack cores? This sentence, combined with the funny PPT behind him, instantly made many people laugh.

The digital bloggers he called were already thinking about how to write the upcoming promotional articles!

"Taishan at 42 degrees can fry an egg, Fire Dragon at 52 degrees is slightly warm..."

"We'll steal these screenshots from Mr. Shen later."

"As for these smear campaigns that everyone can see the problems with at a glance, we have no response."

"Because there's no need to argue with idiots, right?"

Shen Fei paused and looked at the audience below again.

"There's really no need to argue with idiots. Besides, if we get serious with those humanoid creatures, we'll only get angry; they're all 'motherboard creatures'."

"I agree with what you said, but I want to add one thing: it could also be the insane fans of a certain company..."

"Is it Transsion and Huawei's? Currently, the ones I've seen in the last day are from your two companies. Are you starting to target imaginary enemies again?"

"Sure enough, 'attacking Xiaomi to support Huawei', when can you catch up to our xiaomi note 3 first? Who has the ceramic back cover for a lifetime?"

Shen Fei listened to the cheers from the audience for a moment, and then a render of a chip appeared on the big screen.

This time, the 'Taishan 920' text was gold, which looked exceptionally good against the dark blue background.

Every detail of the chip was magnified: 8-core CPU, 6-core GPU... all cores were neatly arranged.

The second-generation 14nm process was also written in large letters next to the chip.

When these data were presented on stage, Shen Fei didn't need to say much, because the chip would really speak for itself.

"This is the brand-new, sincere work of Professor Li Jiahui from Transsion Semiconductor."

"It uses the second-generation 14nm process in manufacturing, adopts an eight-core design, and has a maximum clock speed of 2.6 GHz."

"AnTuTu benchmark score..."

When mentioning the benchmark score, the part everyone was most looking forward to, Shen Fei's expression became subtle again, which made many audience members feel impatient...

He always keeps us in suspense at critical moments.

"Shen the dog, hurry up and show us the answer!"

"How much is it exactly? Can it crush Qualcomm?"

"Do we even need to think about it? Crushing them is certain; it's just a matter of by how much!"

Amidst a chorus of complaints, a green number popped up on the big screen.

88,000 points.

At this moment, many audience members thought they were seeing things. Could it be that they had brought up the Fire Dragon 800 instead?

But why is there an extra zero here?
