Chapter 537 The New Chip Taishan 630
"Okay, I understand."
I'll go talk to Lao Liu later.
Also, don't worry about me, brother. We can get things done for you, including the industrial park facilities and other issues.
If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, just give me a call.
Remember, proceed steadily and surely, don't be reckless.
We and those above us are your strong support.
"Thank you, Dad."
Although after the previous incident, Chen Yun's side is no longer afraid of rich kids, too many flies are still disgusting...
Placing Zhang Zhiting in this position was indeed the right choice.
After all, a local official is more powerful than a distant one.
Just then, the sliding door opened, and Zhang Ru stood in the doorway holding a plate of sliced watermelon.
"What are you two whispering about here?"
Come in and have some watermelon, I made it chilled this afternoon, I almost forgot.
…………
The next morning at 9:00 AM, at the R&D Center of Bird Mobile Phone Division.
Lu Weibin arrived at the laboratory early, followed by Li Qing, the head of the publicity department, and some core members of the product department.
Today is the day of the final acceptance test for the waveguide Z1 engineering machine.
This mid-range phone, priced around 2000 yuan, is the first flagship product from the revived Bird brand.
In addition to the hardware configuration, he also collaborated with the aviation industry to launch a customized version of the "Jian-10" fighter jet.
Its main selling point is superior performance and durability, with a clear objective: to directly lock in the mid-range market.
This is a mid-range goalkeeper; he can easily defeat all kinds of rice, including red rice and regular rice.
Li Jiahui, the chip manager, was already waiting in the lab. After all, their chip department had prepared a big surprise for all their competitors in order to ensure the smooth takeoff of the Waveguide brand.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Li Jiahui greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Li, aren't you making fun of me? You're my boss!"
"We're counting on you to provide us with more powerful chips in the future!"
Haha, in this period of time, Lu Weibin has already integrated into this big family thanks to his social skills...
He was extremely familiar with chip labs.
"Alright, enough joking around. This Z1 is well-tuned; it's sure to surprise our competitors next."
Li Qing, who was standing next to her, also took the phone. The phone felt...too heavy to hold.
Although the body is made of plastic, the edges have been reinforced for shock protection.
Moreover, the one Li Qing was holding was a limited edition co-branded with a fighter jet, with an embossed fighter jet logo engraved on the lower left corner of the back.
The back cover is also made of plastic, but a metal protective ring is used next to the lens module, which slightly improves the texture.
However, it perfectly aligns with the positioning of a joint venture between the military and industrial sectors.
As for the screen, it's a 60Hz high refresh rate screen, and the pre-installed TaiShan system is also a full-fledged version, without any downgrades.
"The appearance and workmanship are fine, and the collaboration details are also in place. The target users will definitely like this."
After trying it out briefly, Li Qing immediately came up with a corresponding promotional plan.
"By the way, Mr. Lu."
She asked curiously, "Which chip is it? I asked President Shen before, and he said that the management is in your hands... He didn't know either."
I've been looking forward to this for so long!
"Well, of course, that's for Mr. Li to answer."
After Lu Weibin finished speaking, he leaned back, leaving the spotlight to Li Jiahui.
Seeing this, Li Qing understood perfectly well that not only would rice be affected, but even Glory would likely be impacted.
Hopefully, this new chip will be slightly weaker, otherwise the entire mid-range market will be ruined.
After Li Jiahui finished laughing, the test engineer next to him had already opened the benchmarking software, and everyone's eyes were focused on the screen.
As the animation ended, the benchmark bar gradually increased:
5 million, 6 million, 7 million...
The numbers were still rising, but the score was already close to that of Taishan's flagship chip, which made Li Qing a little incredulous.
Using flagship chips in phones priced around 2000 yuan...
What kind of operation is this? President Shen probably won't agree to it, right?
While he was still in a daze, the final score on the Entertainment Rabbit benchmark was 82714.
"82,000!" Everyone in the propaganda department except Li Qing exclaimed in surprise.
After all, even last year's Taishan 920s couldn't beat this chip...
They're really going to take down the flagship model.
"Professor Li, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is a mid-range machine in the 2000 yuan range."
Even the current flagship Snapdragon 8 series only scores around 50,000 to 60,000 points, and MediaTek is even worse; even with our enhancements, we still can't achieve that score.
Lu Weibin, on the other hand, looked excited. This chip was quite easy to adjust, and it was fully functional after half a month of adjustments.
"What are we supposed to do at the neighboring Blue Factory? Their machines are only at this level. We're... going to dismantle their platform."
Li Jiahui remained calm, leaning against the lab bench.
"No mistake, this is the Taishan 630, which adopts a brand-new architecture and 14nm process. The CPU performance is 60% higher than the previous generation 620, the GPU performance is 70% higher, and the power consumption is reduced by 20%."
The yield rate is excellent, and mass production will begin next month with ample supply.
Old Lu, you can kill all you want outside, I'll protect you from here.
Li Qing instantly wanted to calm down, after all, he knew very well that the remaining 620 also used the 14nm process...
But now, just changing the architecture has resulted in such a significant improvement?
When they first met, Li Jiahui gave them a brief introduction, explaining that the architecture had been completely upgraded and was no longer a radical modification.
Instead, they launched the entirely new TaiShan Architecture 2.0. Now, whether it's the big cores, small cores, NPU, or anything else, they're all their own.
This made Lu Weibin a little worried: "Wait a minute, Lao Li, you've pushed the performance of the terminal chip so high, what about the new phones in the second half of the year? You can't expect every generation to be a step above the previous one, can you?"
And with the Z1's powerful performance, won't it damage the air cushioning?
He paused briefly, then said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You wouldn't be giving our waveguide team special treatment so we can make a splash with our first shot, would you?"
Li Xin and the others in the publicity department were nodding frantically. After all, Bird had been gone for so long and definitely needed a good start, but there was no need to go to such lengths.
If we do this, our competitors are doomed!
"This isn't about giving you special treatment; all the new chips this year will be upgraded according to this standard."
The Taishan 7 Series and 9 Series, both launching in the second half of the year, will see a significant improvement in performance and craftsmanship.
"I'm here today not only to talk to you about chip performance, but also to remind you not to underestimate our enemy."
"I have this prepared," Lu Weibin said.
Li Qing nodded, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said:
"Qualcomm's 810S has already been upgraded and uses our 14nm process..."
Although the performance wasn't specified, I'm mentally prepared for it to likely reach around 8.
