238: Bad news, Musk is confused

On the other side.

Elon Musk was still on the stage, enthusiastically introducing the features of their FSD autonomous driving system to all the audience.

Due to the high computing power and the additional cost of the 1-nanometer chip.

This time, Tesla not only returned to its original price but also increased it by an additional fifty thousand US dollars, aiming to recover previous losses.

Concessions?

What a joke!!

Those two words simply don't exist in Elon Musk's dictionary.

After finally creating such an excellent product, why wouldn't he make money? Is he supposed to do charity??

Now.

The Fenglei T1 Chip had ceased production, becoming a toothless tiger.

It could no longer provide L3-level Zhi Jia System to its own models and other partner manufacturers.

Their Tesla FSD autonomous driving system was the king in the Zhi Jia System field.

How could he not seize this golden opportunity to ruthlessly cut a wave of leeks?!

However.

Just as Elon Musk himself was getting into his stride, he suddenly noticed that the media crowd below began to stir.

And.

Many people, after glancing down at their phones, suddenly changed their expressions.

As if they had received some explosive information, they began to communicate in low voices.

This was not all.

At first, it was just a small-scale commotion, but as two minutes passed.

The media personnel and car review bloggers on the outermost layer, who were originally holding up their phones and cameras, frantically taking pictures of Elon Musk on stage.

Now, they had put them down, and some of them, as if they had an urgent family matter, were trying to leave from the outermost perimeter.

This left Elon Musk completely bewildered and quite puzzled.

"These media influencers suddenly leaving, could it be something urgent? Or did they eat something bad and get diarrhea??"

However.

The media and audience in the inner circle also began to stir, which made Elon Musk uneasy.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"Could it be that Tesla's price increase this time was too high and didn't meet their expectations??"

"That's not right either; looking at their reactions, it's not because of that to begin with."

Elon Musk remained outwardly calm, but in reality, he was panicking.

And at this moment.

The technical director from backstage hurried to the front of the stage, interrupting Elon Musk's speech.

Elon Musk's face darkened, and he said coldly:

"What are you doing up here? My speech isn't over yet, it's not your turn to be on stage now."

Elon Musk was very displeased.

This technical director was too unobservant, actually interrupting his rhythm just as he was getting excited.

According to the procedure, he should have finished his PPT presentation first, and only then would the technical director come on stage to introduce the FSD 2.0 version's development process in detail.

But now.

He came on stage without his permission.

This was not showing him, the boss, any respect.

However.

A whispered remark from the technical director struck Elon Musk like a lightning bolt.

"Boss, something big has happened. Fenglei just announced that they have found alternative semiconductor materials and successfully created superconductor chips..."

At this moment.

Elon Musk's mind went blank with a sudden 'buzz'.

...

On the other side.

Ren Yi spoke eloquently.

"We all know there's a chaotic phenomenon in the industry, and that's exaggerated promotion."

"Some manufacturers like to call a 5-nanometer chip a 3-nanometer, and a 3-nanometer chip is claimed to be 1-nanometer, when in reality, they haven't reached that technical standard at all."

"It's just that they set the industry standards, and there's no authoritative department to supervise them."

"So, these chip manufacturers can label their specifications however they want, since no one really knows."

Facing the astonished gazes of the audience below, Ren Yi provided the public with knowledge about chips.

What he said were all common practices among chip manufacturers currently.

Because the monopolized industry is too powerful, what is clearly a 5-nanometer manufacturing process, after some boasting, without any actual improvement in the process, is still declared to be 3-nanometer.

Just like Apple, every year they change the camera position and the color of the phone body, and then claim it's a technological breakthrough.

They want to show that they are making progress every year, thereby harvesting the wallets of their loyal fans.

This kind of behavior.

Is no different from burying one's head in the sand.

"As everyone knows, Fenglei is an enterprise that detests falsification, and we never fake anything."

"Therefore, all the technologies we develop ourselves are always based on facts, and the data is labeled exactly as it is."

Ren Yi raised his hand.

The lights in the venue instantly dimmed.

On the big screen.

All the parameters concerning the "Fenglei T1 Chip" were displayed before everyone.

What is the concept of a 0.05-nanometer chip process?

It is absolutely the highest transistor density in the world today, and also the most powerful chip in the same volume.

Currently.

Whether it's well-known high-precision electronic products like graphics cards and CPUs, or chips used in computers and mobile phones.

At present, they are all around 5 to 10 nanometers.

However, Fenglei's chip is a truly micro-level process.

There is no exaggeration, no false reporting whatsoever.

At this point.

For industry professionals engaged in the chip industry.

Looking at the performance and parameters announced on the screen, they were dumbfounded on the spot.

"Damn, this chip is truly heaven-defying..."

Higher precision chips mean greater computing power, as well as a smoother and more precise Zhi Jia System, and a higher AI ceiling...

"Starting today, all the vehicles we produce will be equipped with the Fenglei T1 Chip."

"Through the upgrade of computing power, the smoothness of the Zhi Jia System will be doubled compared to before, and future vehicles equipped with our ADS Intelligent Driving System will be able to achieve 100% autonomous driving."

Ren Yi's voice was high-pitched and he spoke with great confidence.

In this era.

Even though artificial intelligence is already very advanced.

It cannot be guaranteed that artificial intelligence will never make calculation errors.

Because in-car software and apps occupy a lot of memory, which can lead to system lag over time.

Moreover, the resolution on the vehicle end and the road rendering and various functions to be realized are also becoming more and more numerous.

If this continues, the entire system will inevitably become more and more bloated.

But Ren Yi was not worried at all.

System optimization, large memory usage, slow operation.

All of this is completely not a problem in front of a superconductor chip.

Even if Fenglei did not do any software optimization, there is no need to worry about such things happening.

That's how confident he was.

Simply and brutally crushing all opponents.

Double the system computing power, 100% autonomous driving??

Whether in the venue or in the live broadcast room.

Everyone's mouths were wide open.

They were all crazy.

"Holy cow, is it true or false?"

"This is utterly outrageous, how can there be such a heaven-defying chip!!"

"Hiss, good heavens, this is too strong."

"To be honest, if Fenglei's promotion isn't exaggerated, a 0.05-nanometer chip indeed has such data."

"I'm just baffled, how many technologies has Fenglei been secretly hiding? Is this never-ending??"
