Chapter 350: Bangbang
Fingers restlessly rubbing on the smooth white shell, although there is no unique skin-like material feel of the rubber protective cover, but it is a unique feeling, not as smooth as the general plastic glass shell, it seems that the back shell is not completely smooth, but there are some subtle raised lines, a bit like the feeling of fingerprints on the hand, but not as dense and obvious as fingerprint folds.

In his heart, he praised this design for increasing friction and feel, Shen Mo also found that this mobile phone seemed to be more responsive and smoother, and he reached into his pocket in confusion, and he took out another blue mobile phone, with a round and chubby appearance indicating that his identity was also a small watermelon.
Holding a mobile phone in each of his left and right hands to perform the same operation, Shen Mo found that his previous feeling was not wrong, the response speed of the new version of the little watermelon to various operation commands was indeed a little faster, he changed his hand several times in a row, and found that it was always the new version that was faster. This is naturally good news,Although the response speed of the small watermelon is already very fast,There is no problem of slow response that Android criticizes,But it's always good to be faster,It will be more comfortable and natural to use。
Lowered his head and opened the "About the phone" page and looked at it,Shen Mo found that the ROM version numbers of the two mobile phones seemed to be a little different,The old phone is the latest3144,This means that it is the 44th patch version of the bee os3 single-core version,It is also the latest version of the ROM as of June,But the version number of the new mobile phone is3144X3,The X in the version number seems to be the meaning of the experimental version,Seeing this, Shen Mo nodded subconsciously,It seems that the official has further increased the fluency of the system,This is good news。
But soon his eyebrows shook slightly, and then he stretched out with a three-point smile, it turned out that on the local page, in addition to the system ROM version number, there are also hardware parameters, although most of the parameters of the two mobile phones are exactly the same, but he still saw three different, the rear camera resolution became 3 million, the memory doubled to 512 megabytes, and the CPU frequency is still 1GHz, but the model has become212SV40. Of course, the performance of doubling memory must be improved, and it is naturally impossible for bees to do "negative optimization".
Although the small watermelon has achieved a monthly sales volume of more than 100,000 in the past six months with an affordable low price of 999 yuan, and even because of the need to give priority to meeting mobile orders due to production capacity, there will be a situation from time to time when it is difficult to find a machine and need to queue up to make an appointment to draw the Y code, but in the same way, the weak performance of this mobile phone is still criticized by many people.
In fact, no one can say anything about the configuration problem,After all, you get what you pay for,The most cheating is the same little watermelon,Bee's own software and games except for a few configuration requirements that are too high to cause the machine not to support and cannot be installed,All the rest can be installed and used,And it's very smooth,But other third-party applications will have Caton from time to time、Background exit and the most common memory problem appears。 The same application did not appear on the moon season and the old version of the sunflower rainbow flower. The main reason is that the small watermelon has been selectively ignored by third-party manufacturers, and there is no special optimization of memory occupation for its 256 memory.
Now that the memory has doubled and is on par with Rainbow Flower, the effect of third-party applications will improve a lot in the future, right? Shen Mo thought to himself.
If Atletico Madrid, who was more than ten meters away, heard Shen Mo's heart, he would definitely touch his soft hair and say with a smile: "Young man, you are still too stupid and naïve!"
Before the advent of graphical operating systems, the memory capacity of computers was calculated in kilobytes, and at that time, people in the IT industry generally believed that 1MB was absolutely enough for massive memory. However, the era of graphical interfaces opened by Apple Lisa and led by Microsoft WindOS is constantly increasing the requirements for memory, and now PCs are already standard with 4GB or even 8GB, and mobile phone memory is now on G.
Of course, there is also a program optimization problem, memory, video memory is too small, so the program ape must work hard to optimize the code and release memory in time, but as the price of memory particles is getting lower and lower, and the capacity is getting larger and larger, software vendors will naturally relax this requirement and let the data reside in memory to improve performance.
Not only him, but other people have been getting the new version of the little watermelon for a while, and some people can't wait to take out their mobile phone cards from the original mobile phone and replace them, obviously satisfied with the performance of this mobile phone.
Of course, this is not to say that a watermelon that sells 999 thousand yuan machine can crush and despise other brands of mobile phones, after all, the raw material assembly process is still a penny for every penny, and the bees can only try to close the gap through various means, and the small watermelon can be proud of all mobile phones below 1500 yuan, and it is more likely to rely on the bee system to eat each other. But the mobile phone on the top,It's not a little watermelon that can fight,After all, the gap in performance is too big,Although bees can turn decay into magic,But it can't turn a stone into gold。
If you run a large game, take photos and zoom in to view the details of the original picture, and download Blu-ray movies at high speed, then poor Mr. Watermelon will be embarrassed or even strike, after all, it only has a single-core CPU, memory flash memory, sensors and network chips are also a little shabby, no problem to deal with normal use, and you have to shout don't want to deal with all kinds of chicken-burning and demon-level applications.
This point, even if the new version of the small watermelon can only be improved, not eradicated, after all, now high-end flagship mobile phones are already quad-core 1G or dual-core 1. The configuration of a 5G processor plus 1GB of RAM is up. Although it cannot be said that it can reach ten times the performance of small watermelons, there is still a performance gap of three or four times or even more.
However, this shortcoming of the little watermelon is not very conspicuous in the eyes of this group of guests, not that they have been brainwashed by Atletico Madrid and become brainless fans, and they can't even tell who is strong and who is weak, but it has something to do with another common identity of these people.
They are all prospective college students who have successfully passed the college entrance examination and are about to enter the ivory tower, and the pride of the sky in the future. No matter how much their respective talents play a role in this process, it is impossible to put in less effort and focus to be able to fight their way out, at most a little less than others, but definitely not without.
High school juniors naturally don't have much time to spend on the rich entertainment functions in their mobile phones, at most, they listen to songs while reading books and doing questions, occasionally take pictures and send scarves or play casual games to relax, so there are no players who like to make beautiful, bulky and heavy mobile games. If the bee pulls a hundred college students to evaluate the little watermelon, the bad reviews will definitely be able to collect a basket, the girls will complain that there is no front camera, the rear camera resolution is too low, and the boys will complain that the performance is too scumbag to play the game......
Fortunately, heavy gamers prefer to work computers or TVs with larger screens after all, and there are still more people who are satisfied with the smooth performance of small watermelons in daily use and the battery life of more than 48 hours of use, coupled with the advantage of low prices, small watermelons can sell more than 1 million in 7 months, and wait until the beginning of the school season in September, mobile will start to deposit phone bills and send mobile phones again, presumably there will be a new round of sales surge. After all, except for a small number of online retail sales, most small watermelons are sold through mobile customization machines.
And the bee rushed to update the upgrade configuration at this time, obviously to prepare for the beginning of the school season in two months, the reason why Shen Mo and these prospective college students were given a new version of a small watermelon was not to test the popularity of the product among college freshmen.
Shen Mo looked up in the direction of Atletico Madrid, someone also noticed the new processor, and just asked what the V40 in the CPU model means.
"V40 represents the use of a new 40nm process, and in the second half of the year, our product line will be fully migrated to 40nm, so that we can finally be considered to be in line with the international interface, although only temporarily," said Atletico with a smile.
Hearing him say this, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding classmates were varied, some were shocked, some were strange, and some were unclear So, as honey, they all know that the 210 series processors are made in China, and this domestic heart has also been mentioned in the publicity. As for the fact that the domestic wafer process lags behind foreign countries, most of the people present should have heard of it, after all, they will mention this from time to time on the supplementary textbooks of current affairs that they read when they were in school. The long-term blockade of advanced wafer technology by foreign countries has always been ironclad evidence that "imperialism will not die".
But everyone has heard a lot of such words, in fact, they have become numb, and now they suddenly heard Atletico Madrid say that it is in line with international standards, and suddenly they are still a little unaccustomed, and many people show a skeptical expression of "impossible, right?"
Seeing this scene, Atletico Madrid was not annoyed, but explained, now the international mainstream mobile processor process is indeed 40 nanometers, but according to the news revealed by Apple, they will be equipped with iPhone5 and iPad2 in the second half of the yearA6 processor will continue to be manufactured by Samsung and use 32 nanometer process, while TSMC helps AMD and female IDIA OEM GPU is 28 nanometers, while Intel, which is lonely and defeated, launched the third generation of Core IVYB Day DGE (Ivy Bridge) based on 22 nanometers and 3D transistor technology two months ago 。
So tragically, SMIC has just introduced and absorbed 40nm technology, in fact, it is still two generations behind the international advanced level, and when mobile phone processors such as A6 use 32/28nm are listed, the next generation of bee heart will lag behind again.
The only good news is that although it is still behind, the distance between 40 and 28 is significantly smaller than the distance between 55 and 40, which should not feel too miserable. Honey bee improvement day sc is abbreviated as bar, bar means stick, stick, bar, so honey and bee black use different nicknames such as "stick stick", "big stick", "stick", "wood stick" and so on according to different situations.
After he introduced these, someone immediately asked him why he didn't go directly to TSMC foundry like Hua Wei, wouldn't it be better to go to 28nm in one step?
Atletico only smiled mysteriously, saying that the company has its own roadmap and will not come up with a bad processor to cheat his father.
In fact, Atletico itself is also having a headache, as a small shareholder of **i SMIC, Atletico already knows that the second phase of the expansion plan prepared by SMIC in Beijing has been approved, and the expansion process of building 40 and 28 nm production lines will be laid in the second half of the year, but the manufacturing, installation and commissioning of this high-tech equipment are all meticulous work, and if bees want to use domestic 28nm technology, they have to wait until 13 or even 14 years.
In fact, the V40 version of the bee heart processor that will be released with the new version of the bee product in the second half of the year is not the real next generation, after all, it still uses the original 210 core, but the process technology is adjusted and the processor area is reduced accordingly to reduce costs and heat, and at the same time, a small amount of individual microcircuits is adjusted, and the number of transistors has not changed as a whole, which is why the main frequency of the new version of the 212s has not increased.
Of course, standing still is unacceptable, so Bee will release 4-core and 6-core products in the second half of the year, which are 212Q, 213Q and 214H, 215H, of which Q stands for quad-core mainly used in mobile phones and tablets, and H stands for six-core mainly used in desktop PCs and servers.
At the same time, the new version of the 211 and 212S single-core processors will also be equipped with Bee's own C1000 series GPU, which is expected to further reduce the power consumption of the two when processing videos, pictures and games.
The performance of the GPU module integrated on the mobile processor is naturally far inferior to that of the desktop graphics card, after all, there is a huge gap in the number of transistors, and its primary goal is low power consumption and low heating, otherwise it will be a cup to turn the mobile phone into an opportunity or a roast chicken. In order to achieve this goal, we can only try our best to reduce the burden on the GPU, and different manufacturers have designed different technologies to make the GPU "lazy" not to render those invisible pixels, and not to double-count the pixels that have not changed.
As a result, game companies need to prepare several packets for different GPU solutions, and some mini-games seem to have special packets, either using generic technology directly, or preparing multiple packets together for on-demand use.
And before, the bee heart 210 was equipped with the most popular British PX530 series GPU, and Apple A5 used the same scheme, which is why 212, 213 can be brushed on iOS.
Now that the CPU core has been autonomous, Atletico Madrid will naturally not let go of the GPU part, so it has its own LorfulWorld colorful world, but because I don't want to pay for patent licensing, C uses a large number of specially developed image compression technology, which is not compatible with other patented rendering modes, which will inevitably bring migration costs to software vendors, especially game manufacturers.
This has little impact on the bees themselves, after all, the code is updated through the BC platform, but it is a big problem for others. So at present, I only plan to test the water on the single-core processor that can't play large-scale 3D games, and if the effect is good, it will be further replaced, after all, if you are completely autonomous, you don't have to wait for someone else's pace.
For example, Bee's new generation of core 220 based on 28 nm has actually been designed, and you don't need to wait for the ARM public version of the 28 nm solution, you can do it yourself. However, it is a person like Atletico who has its own system who dares to play like this, and the autonomous architecture is expensive and time-consuming, and there are compatibility problems.
After the core upgrade, the next step is to "assemble" a variety of SoC processor designs with different performance by adding 220 cores plus GPU cores, Level 2 and Level 3 caches, memory controllers, and even memory modules.
When the 220 series is officially finalized, they will start to attack the 64 position non-stop, which is much more troublesome, and the architecture must be overhauled.
But that's not the biggest problem, as the big boss, Atletico's biggest headache is, who to find to produce them http://m.piaotian.net?
