Chapter 104 Strategic Partners

At the end of the year, the supply of raw materials of Rouyu Company basically returned to normal, and it was possible to maintain the production of R3 material screens on a large scale.

At the same time, the two processor chips designed by Yuzhen Semiconductor also began to be sent to TSMC for corresponding production.

The overall configuration of these two processor chips has taken a lot of effort from Yuzhen Semiconductor.

First of all, in terms of CPU, both versions all use the modified version of the A76 large core.

Since the process technology used by the processor chip this time is 8nm, the original design of the two processors has to consider the frequency reduction of the CPU core to ensure the corresponding power consumption.

Of course, in order to ensure the corresponding performance, the core architecture of the processor CPU this time has also undergone corresponding magic changes.

Compared with the A76 of the same frequency, the A76 has improved performance by 15% under the same power consumption.

And this time, the two processor chips, after many modifications, can finally be regarded as able to take the ranks.

After thinking about it, Zhou Zhen named the self-designed processor chip "Tianxuan".

Among them, the lower positioning is named Tianxuan 800!

Another one with a higher positioning is named Tianxuan 900!

Among them, Tianxuan 800 adopts a 4+4 CPU architecture.

4 x 2.5Ghz A76 + 4 x 2.0Ghz A55 small cores.

In terms of GPU, it uses 10 H10 core graphics processor chips.

At the same time, the ISP is a dual-core ISP, and the NPU is a triple-core NPU.

And this processor chip can support a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz and a resolution of up to 2K, and supports 8K 30 frames of video shooting in terms of photography, up to four cameras operating at the same time, and up to 200 million pixel shooting.

All in all, this time, the processor chip with a lower positioning is basically in accordance with the flagship processor chip in terms of overall performance, and even much stronger than next year's flagship processor chip in some aspects.

As the company's first processor chip positioned as a high-end flagship, Tianxuan 900 adopts a 1+3+4 core architecture in terms of chip construction.

One 2.8Ghz A76 + three 2.45Ghz A76 + four 1.85Ghz A55 small cores.

In terms of GPU, it uses a 12-core H10 GPU graphics processor.

Judging from the design parameters of the chip, there are still many similarities in the design of the two chips this time.

The Tianxuan 900 is not much behind the Tianxuan 800 in terms of CPU and GPU performance.

However, judging from the corresponding design, the Tianxuan 900 processor chip will be stronger than the Tianxuan 800 in terms of performance scheduling.

After all, Tianxuan 900 processor, the chip has a very high frequency of large cores, which makes this processor chip perform better in terms of extreme performance, and the four small energy efficiency cores are only 1.85Ghz, which makes this chip more power-efficient when used in light and moderate use.

Aside from the CPU and GPU changes, the other configurations and parameters of the Tianxuan 900 are basically the same as those of the Tianxuan 800.

However, the Tianxuan 900 is based on the Tianxuan 800, and additionally supports WiFi6 protocol and Bluetooth 5.1 protocol.

This makes this Tianxuan 900 processor chip look more flagship.

Now the two chips have been sent to production, which means that the second-generation products of Roupai mobile phones can start to be officially approved.

The performance of the Roupai mobile phone generation can be said to be very good, and the extreme performance of the main game has also attracted the love of many young users.

Of course, the design of the center hole screen with the corresponding extreme bezel high refresh rate screen is also a major selling point of this product.

And this product has sold nearly 1.1 million units by the end of the year since its release, which is a good result for a small brand that has just been established.

However, after this year passes, the price of this product will definitely be adjusted accordingly to promote the sales of inventory products.

As the time came to the end of the year, Paste Tong and MediaTek also released corresponding processor chips.

Anointing Fire Dragon 855 is officially launched!

This processor chip can be said to be a very epoch-making processor chip of paste.

Brand new 1+3+4 triple stack CPU architecture.

The latest generation of GPU graphics processors! Support for the latest generation of GPU Turbo technology!

All in all, there are a lot of innovative designs that can be seen in this processor chip.

And the running score of this processor chip also appeared in Antutu's database.

390,000 running scores!

Successfully surpassed the Kirin 980 and MediaTek's G98H.

At the same time, MediaTek also officially launched a new generation of G99H processor chip this year.

Although the name of this processor chip is G99H, the overall data performance is somewhat different.

TSMC's 11nm process technology.

Two 2.4Ghz A76 + six 1.8Ghz A55 small cores.

6-core H8 GPU GPU.

And netizens were completely stunned after seeing the parameters of the corresponding processor chip.

This G99H processor is not like a replacement of the G98H at all, but like sucking back the toothpaste that has just been squeezed out.

You must know that G98H uses four A76 large cores and eight cores of GPU graphics processor chips, and it is still a better 10nm process in terms of process technology.

And what does this G99H look like?

Of course, Antutu's running score data also proves that the performance of this processor chip has regressed, and the overall running score has directly become 230,000 points compared with the G98H with 310,000 points.

This overall performance is basically a little bit stronger than the 835.

Of course, MediaTek does processor chips and suck toothpaste, not once or twice.

There are P20, P30, P35 suck-up toothpaste.

Later, there is a Dimensity processor chip, which rises and falls.

For example, the Dimensity 810 processor chip will be launched in 2021, although the name is 810, but the performance is not as good as the previous generation 800, or even 800U.

Another example is the Dimensity 930 launched in 2022, although it is an iterative product of the Tianji 920 on the surface, but the CPU and GPU have been castrated a lot, and even in terms of performance, it is not as good as the previous generation Dimensity 900 and the previous Dimensity 820.

Of course, MediaTek basically has a new series every year to iterate the original series positioning.

For example, in 2020, the Dimensity 1000 series is the flagship, the Dimensity 800 is the mid-range, and the Dimensity 700 series is the low-mid-range.

In 2021, the Dimensity 900 series was suddenly launched as the mid-range, so the Dimensity 800, which was originally positioned in the mid-range, was directly reduced to the mid-range.

This also makes the Dimensity 810 of the year inferior to the previous generation of the 800 series, and it can even be said that the Dimensity 810 is actually a product iteration of the Dimensity 700 series.

By the time 2022 came, MediaTek launched the new 9000 and 8000 series as flagship and sub-flagship positioning.

Then the Dimensity 1000 series, which was originally positioned as a flagship, was instantly reduced to a mid-range series, while the Dimensity 900 series was reduced to a mid-range and low-end series.

This also makes the Dimensity 930 released in 2022 actually an iteration of last year's Dimensity 810, while the Dimensity 1050 is an iteration of the Dimensity 900/920.

Of course, the current MediaTek launch of G99H is actually to deal with manufacturers, after all, since the end of 18, MediaTek has completely shifted its focus to the research and development of Dimensity 5G processor chips.

The real successor to the G98H processor chip, which is positioned as the flagship of the previous generation, should be the yet-to-be-released Dimensity 1000 series chips.

Of course, MediaTek will often contact Yuzhen Semiconductor when designing chips, hoping to get some suggestions from Yuzhen Semiconductor.

After all, the relationship between MediaTek and Yuzhen Semiconductor is equivalent to a strategic partnership.

Even MediaTek invited Yuzhen to co-design the new generation of flagship chips, especially for the corresponding debugging and optimization of GPU graphics processor chips equipped with a new core architecture.

Of course, Zhou Zhen will not miss this opportunity to learn from the experience.

For MediaTek's invitation, Zhou Zhen readily agreed, and sent some young engineers from this company to Baodao to jointly develop chips with MediaTek.

After all, the number of real core engineers in this company is still relatively small, and many young engineers have certain abilities, but lack experience in chip design.

Sending some inexperienced engineers to MediaTek for in-depth chip design is actually a learning and experience of chip semiconductor design.

This is also a good thing for the development of your own company.
