Chapter 116: Derivative SOC

Brick-and-mortar stores all over the country, sales staff with good service attitude and performance ability.

Especially those brick-and-mortar stores, bananas are ruthless enough, and they are all opened in the town and even in the village!

Anyway, the bananas have gone downhill, and these valuable wealth, rather than rotting in the hands of bananas, it is better to be in the hands of Wang Fan!

Wang Fan sighed, when did he become so black-bellied, could it be influenced by Song Qian?

It's just how to operate so that they can collectively jump ship and join mortal technology?

Wang Fan thought about it for a long time, but in the end he had to rely on Xu Shuai!

However, Wang Fan didn't know what Xu Shuai's kindness to Wei Han was?

In case he is grateful to Dade and unswervingly betrays Wang Fan, then his plan will be completely bankrupt!

Wang Fan sighed, this matter is in a hurry, so he can only plan slowly and win steadily!

No longer caring about these, Wang Fan went to the UI design department again.

Before they reached the door, there was a quarrel inside.

Wang Fan couldn't help frowning, stopped his steps, and listened:

"These are all new, and everyone thinks it's good, it's better than most of the app icons on the market, it's already okay, and the energy should be focused on system stability!"

"What does it look like? Fit the original icon into a large curved frame and beautify it slightly? Are you kidding! The solution to this kind of garbage is what you Feng Shao can think of! ”

"Yang Yan, you can't talk nonsense! If you go to the market and take a look, many big brands deal with it like this! ”

"It's because we're all like this that we can't be like this!"

"You mean, all repainted?"

"Repaint, of course!"

"Do you know how much work that is? At least a few thousand icons. If you only redraw the commonly used ones, you will have a god-like first screen and a pig-like second screen. If we redraw them all, we will have limited manpower, and we will have fewer people to take care of the system! ”

……

Wang Fan understood the issues that the two were arguing.

If the appearance of the phone is the external face, and the UI icon style is the internal face.

UI, as the surface layer of the system, directly affects the user's first impression in terms of style, beauty and ugliness.

Users deal with mobile phones every day, and the interaction is carried out through the UI, and the beauty and ugliness of the UI are naturally crucial.

Why are various themes very popular at the moment, because most brands directly use the perfunctory practice of framing the original icon, which is really ugly and has to be changed.

But popular themes also have problems, privately made, limited energy, and it is impossible to take care of all the applied icons.

Therefore, what is taken care of is good-looking, and what is not taken care of is ugly, and the whole is not harmonious.

It's the so-called god-like first screen, pig-like second screen!

The real solution still depends on the theme that comes with the system, because only the manufacturer has the ability to redraw thousands of icons.

Do a good job in this regard,It's flyme,Last year4.0Version redrew more than 3,000 icons,The overall style is very harmonious,Simple、Beautiful,It's the most beautiful UI.。

Even, many people buy Meizu for the most beautiful UI, and they don't even need to change the theme.

However, it took a lot of manpower in this regard, coupled with the overexpansion last year, the human resources could not keep up, the stability of the system had some problems, and even the hat of bugme.

Fortunately, now, Meizu's human resources have kept up, and the 4.5/5.0 version has greatly improved the stability of the system, but this hat is difficult to take off.

This is also a problem that mortal technology needs to face, redraw the UI, or use the original icon commonly used by other manufacturers to frame it, it is indeed a problem.

Wang Fan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hello chairman."

"Hello chairman."

The two people who quarreled were a little embarrassed, and the few people behind them were even more gloating.

Wang Fan patted the two on the shoulder and asked their names.

The person in charge of advocating the repainting, named Yang Yan, was poached from Meizu and paid great attention to aesthetics.

Another person dug from rice, named Feng Shao, focused on system stability.

Wang Fan smiled: "What you say is reasonable, UI is another face of the phone, and it must not be ugly." Stability is fundamental to the system. In this way, Yang Yan is responsible for the UI design, and all the icons are redrawn, and you will be recruited if there is not enough manpower. Feng Shao is responsible for stability, and the original team has a lot of ......"

Although Wang Fan has a technology derivative system, stability is basically not a problem, but he wants to use this to train his subordinates.

After all, in the future, it is impossible for him to do everything himself.

After that, he went to another skeuomorphic style UI development department, which was very harmonious.

There are few people who may like to be anthropomorphic, have similar interests, sympathize with each other, and are very united.

Both styles of UI development are good, the basic framework is already there, but there are still problems with stability and individual features.

Wang Fan gave a few words, and asked the human resources department to recruit some needed talents and return to the office alone.

He took out the mobile phones that Han Sanping dismantled again, and found several SoCs such as Gaoguan 810, Four-Star 7420, Fruit A9, MTK6795, and HiSilicon 935.

These are the most advanced mobile SOCs at the moment, and Wang Fan wants to make SOCs, which can only be derived through them.

Wang Fan derived them one by one, and although each one was greatly improved, it did not achieve the effect he wanted.

The reason is simple, the derivation of each SOC is only an evolution on the basis of this one.

For example, the derivation of 810 is simply an upgrade on the basis of 810, but it is still a high-barrel style, but there are fewer drawbacks and the performance is greatly improved.

What Wang Fan wants is to combine the strengths of hundreds of schools to derive an epoch-making SOC with all-round improvement.

Thinking of this, Wang Fan put several SOCs together and derived them!

This time it was a bit long, and in the end dozens of SOCs came out, and each one was too powerful.

Wang Fan's head was big in an instant, how can he do so much? Sometimes, having too many choices can be painful.

But when he checked and analyzed them one by one, he was speechless.

Only 3 models can be mass-produced now, using the 14nm process. The others all require a 10N process or even a 7nm process.

The mass production of the 10nm process will not be achieved until at least the year after tomorrow, and as for 7nm, who knows exactly when.

After comparing again, Wang Fan took the lead in giving up the SOC with the strongest performance, then gave up a special SOC with 3 cores, and finally chose the 8-core SOC that was not particularly prominent.

The reason is simple, at present, Mortal Technology does not have its own wafer factory, and the mass production of SOC needs to find Intel foundry.

Too far ahead, easy to expose technology, to provide the other party with the basis for progress.

Therefore, we can only wait for our own wafer fab to be built in the future and then produce more powerful SoC.

And this SOC, as well as a 28nm low-frequency version, has more wiggle room.

As for not choosing that special 3-core SOC, this is also a helpless thing.

Since Mi Leijun put the running score on the stage of the press conference, the entire Android camp has gone astray, and the emphasis on parameters is far greater than the actual experience.

Every generation of mobile phones has to rush the hardware and spell the parameters, but the actual effect is not much attention.

If Wang Fan chooses a 3-core SOC, although the performance is powerful, it far surpasses other 8-core SOCs.

But many consumers don't know much about it, and just take it for granted that the more cores, the more powerful, 8 is bigger than 3, and 8 cores must be more powerful!

This is also the reason why Gao Tube wants to make 8 cores 810.

The previous 4-core 800/801 of the high cylinder is unique in each generation, with strong performance, heat generation and power consumption.

But MTK took the lead in 8 cores, and later four-star, HiSilicon, etc. also followed.

Although the 4-core CPU is still very powerful, far exceeding the 8-core CPU of MTK and HiSilicon, many consumers do not think so.

Therefore, the tall cylinder can only be stronger than 8 cores.

However, the accumulation of 8 cores of the high cylinder is not enough, so it can only use the public architecture of ARM, so there is 810, the most pitiful generation.

This time, it can be said that he was taken into the ditch by MTK and others, and it was all tears when he said too much!

Therefore, the next generation of 820, Gao Tube will no longer play with them, and still follow the old path of his own 4 cores. Even if MTK has to radically go to 10 cores!

However, the high cylinder can be so, the industry leader, the status is prominent, in addition to some consumers do not understand, manufacturers and others are clear, overall, the impact is limited.

But mortal technology is different, and when they enter the SOC field, most people will be skeptical.

Once a strange 3-core SOC is adopted, it will definitely be regarded as a war scum!

Even if he can turn over and prove his strength in the end, Wang Fan can't wait, the current competition in the mobile phone market is so fierce.

Domestic mobile phones, basically just listed for 1 or 2 months of hot sales, 4 months later began to reduce the price of promotion, about half a year, the basic discount of one-third to one-half.

For 3000 mobile phones, it is common to drop 1000 in more than half a year. There are 1000 drops in 4 months of listing.
