Qualcomm, a company that all mobile phone manufacturers can't get around.

Relying on 3G and 4G patents, you can easily extract the 'Qualcomm tax' of all smartphones in the world with a wave of your hand, and collect it according to the price of the whole machine.

It can be said that even if Qualcomm doesn't do anything while lying down, there will be a steady stream of rents coming in, and a live charter career.

And in addition to the 'Qualcomm tax', Qualcomm itself also has unique achievements in the field of chips, relying on the architecture authorized by Arm, has begun to officially launch the 'Snapdragon' series of chips.

In fact, many people have rarely heard of Qualcomm chips in the past, and the most famous chip in the field is Intel.

In fact, Intel's x86 has an overwhelming advantage over personal computers and servers, and the computing power of a single chip can exceed that of ARM architecture chips by dozens of times.

But because of this, the power consumption and heat generation of the x86 chip are amazing, to put it bluntly, the power consumption and heat dissipation are exaggerated, which is definitely a fatal problem for the mobile terminal.

Think about how big a PC CPU cooler is, even a laptop heatsink is enough to make a phone brick.

And this can just be compensated for by the ARM architecture.

In addition, there was a problem with Intel's own strategic direction, so it led to the direct loss of the market in the field of smartphone chips.

Qualcomm also seized this opportunity and began to step into it, which can be regarded as a representative of the company that tasted the sweetness of the smartphone era.

In the previous generation of Qualcomm's first quad-core processor, the APQ8064 processor with 28nm process even surpassed the processor on the fruit 5 in terms of pure performance.

Last year, Qualcomm also officially launched the Snapdragon series processor, but it was stabilized by the fruit's self-developed 64-bit A7 dual-core processor, although the Snapdragon 800 series has four cores, but it needs to be fully open to barely match the fruit's A7 dual-core processor.

After learning from the pain, Qualcomm, which has not yet developed its own 64-bit architecture, also began to rely on the ARM public version of the 64-bit architecture to radically enter it, although it uses a more advanced 20nm process, but what is made is the Snapdragon 810 with the title of "Fire Dragon".

The temperature requirement of the processor is very high, and too high a temperature will affect the performance of the processor itself, such as the extreme test environment of Intel processor performance or even choose to cast liquid helium!

Many materials can become superconducting under liquid helium......

Because of the extremely bad heating relationship of the Snapdragon 810, the actual performance at high temperatures is even inferior to its own previous generation processor, and it is even beaten by the upcoming Fruit 6 self-developed A8 processor.

In fact, the processor used in Ambrera's mobile phone, in order to choose a sufficient number, is Qualcomm's version of last year's Snapdragon 801, which is similar to Hanwei's Kirin 930 in terms of performance alone.

In terms of temporary procurement of processors, only Qualcomm is easier to start.

However, Qualcomm has just announced the sale of the first 64-bit quad-core chip of the Snapdragon 810 with great interest, and it is in the limelight, and almost all of its production capacity has been smashed on the Snapdragon 810, and even the new Snapdragon 810 can still be seen in a few years.

For Ambrera's order, it is indeed a little disdainful.

There are good cooperative friends in front, and the output of the wafer factory is so much, and there is not much to come!

Although Ambrera said hello to the four-star side and could help with the OEM, Qualcomm is not a marionette and has its own ideas.

"Heh, I'm still staring at the previous generation of chips, this Ambrera is really picky, and the price is the same as the fruit."

After a salesman hung up the call from Ambrera, he couldn't help but say to his colleague with a little teasing.

"But they are very good in other aspects of the phone."

"What about other things? After all, this is the mobile phone, the processor is the heart, and they also have to pay our patent fees. ”

"That's right, no mobile phone manufacturer can bypass us......"

It's not just Qualcomm's salesmen who are chatting about this stunned young man who has just entered the mobile phone field, but Qualcomm's senior office is also discussing.

"Don't go to the prosecution, right?"

The CEO casually looked at some reports, and for the new mobile phone manufacturers, in their eyes, they were fat.

However, similar to fruit, which has to wait until they sue to pay the money, Qualcomm is also quite a headache.

"No, they handed it in, and the message has actually been sent to you by email."

"Well, their financial statements aren't public? Who knows if it's underpaid? Inform them that they will be treated the same as other manufacturers. ”

"They're not listed, it's Ambrera."

"What's wrong with Ambrera? They'll have to be reasonable, they ......."

But in the end, the Qualcomm CEO still softened his tone

"Have a better attitude, and remind me tactfully."

"They also want to buy chips."

"Sell, our Snapdragon 810 production capacity is still quite a lot."

"What they want is 801, and the production capacity that came out of the four-star side before is actually what they connected."

"What? How many do they mean? ”

Aren't you a flagship? What does it mean to buy 801 old? This is our previous generation of chips, this is too picky, right?

Now let's use the new capacity to produce additional chips from the previous generation?

Although they themselves know that 810 heat dissipation and power consumption are a bit of a problem, but after all, it is the first 64-bit quad-core, and it still uses the 20nm process, and heat dissipation is a problem that mobile phone factories need to solve, what do we care?

"We don't have much 801 in stock, and we have ordered a lot from many other mid-range mobile phone manufacturers."

"Then tell them that 801 is gone, 810 love or not, finally four-star freed up production capacity, it must be to make 810, they are not satisfied with taking it back and designing it themselves, he~, four-star spare capacity to give them face, but it is also to make money, it is impossible to be empty all the time."

"Look where else they can buy but us!"

Qualcomm does have this kind of domineering in the field of mobile phones.

Even they themselves haven't figured out the 64-bit architecture yet, and they still use the ARM public version, and now there are only a few companies in the world that can complete the chip design!

Love or not!

And Ambrera also received this kind of feedback.

I can even hear the news released by Qualcomm in the industry, the supply of 801 is tight, if you keep staring at 801, it will definitely have to wait for a long time, and it may be difficult to give birth......

……

Wang Yi, who was taking Qian Yayan and Liu Xiaoke to play rafting, was also a little speechless when he heard the information from Lin Shiqin's side.

"Didn't you help them coordinate some of the four-star production capacity? Four-star has taken the burden? ”

This is Wang Yi's guess, after all, the realm that Ambrella's mobile phone has entered has a great impact on the four-star.

"No, four-star has to rely on us a lot, they are very arrogant when they should be arrogant, but they are quite honest when they should be honest, it was Qualcomm himself who adjusted that part to 810."

Hearing Lin Shiqin's words, Wang Yi was also a little speechless.

To be honest, now that Ambrera is eye-catching enough, he is not ready to go directly into the chip field so soon.

But fortunately, the outbreak of infection in Seoul some time ago made Ambrera say 'I really have it', so it's not impossible to get some first.

Forced out, no way.

It's a pity that 'I really have' this kind of thing is the last hole card, obviously it is impossible to show up frequently, it will cause jealousy, not to mention, too much will reduce the deterrent, and you can't just give them such a time, otherwise it is equivalent to breaking up with the world.

Some conventional hole cards still have to be strengthened quickly, but the order has already been placed, so many tonnage ships, even if you add money to cut the queue, I'm afraid it will take at least a year.

In particular, the three million-ton platforms, each of the three parties of the Iron Triangle will make one, and it will be overtime to rush out in a year.

Originally, he said that after getting two new immunoglobulins for Ambrera, he would go to sea to catch whales on the whole yacht.

Now it seems that the chip problem has to be rectified first.

"It's okay to design your side, right?"

"No problem.,ARM public version 64-bit,But ARM company authorization does not allow core modifications.,If you want to modify it, you have to pay a lot of money.,If you get the modification authorization,,It's okay to improve some.。

"No, just the design of the public architecture, how much can the process reach now?"

There is a little bit of obsolete equipment from the wafer factory on the four-star side, coupled with some domestic support and the DUV lithography machine that has come out, and the 20nm-level process can still be quickly achieved after a little integration, and it is not a big problem to enter 14nm synchronously next year.

However, the equipment shipped back from the four-star side still needs to be debugged, and there is no way to produce it immediately, so it can only be sent to the production capacity vacated by the four-star to build some quickly.

UMC's process breakthrough has been bottlenecked, but the current process is enough to manufacture, and while the rice is in the pot, you can also send some past OEM.

Chip design ability, it's normal, right?

Originally, if it was a normal chip, it would take at least three to six months for the 'trial production' stage, which can also be called tape-out, and the purpose was to make dozens of pieces out of a small amount of streamlining for testing to see if the requirements were met.

If the test passes, mass production can begin.

If there is a problem, some changes will be needed.

The structure of the chip itself is too complex and dense, and it is quite normal for problems to occur.

However, this chip was designed by Lin Shiqin, and it can be said that as long as the four-star process can get by, there is no problem of failing to pass after passing Lin Shiqin's simulation.

This significantly reduces the process and time from direct to mass production!

Chip name, White Queen, v1.0!

There is no doubt that the performance of the 'white queen' chip has been improved, so directly define this batch as a plus version, and the price will also be the same as the fruit.

You can't always improve the performance and the price remains the same, which is unfair to customers who bought in advance.

Well, maybe the yield of the plus will be higher than the regular version after that!

……

"Self-developed chips? I'll go, Ambrera is really awesome, and she throws a big move silently. ”

"It's amazing, even this is the official announcement of plus, and I didn't say anything specially, this is the confidence."

"What a plus! Please, let me buy the regular version first, my friends have started to use red to hang "Starry World". ”

"Shouldn't this be a cheat?"

"Count? Physically hang it, click on the elf, who let you not have it. ”

"Pain, I have to go and change the fruit."

"It seems that the others have also updated the connection after the red.,Although it's not as good as it in other aspects.,But it's good to wait until the new version comes out and you can use it.。

"Ambrera is so stupid, this breeds competitors."

"Hehe, Ambrera is all smart machines with a 5% tax on ordinary machines and 10% on high-end machines, why do you have to work hard to make money while lying down?"

"And the screen and camera are also theirs, and don't forget the battery too! If the function of their chip is really described like this, then the chip can also tear a hole. ”

"That means that other mobile phones will sell a brand?"

"Did you really just lie down and make money?"

"Good fellow, convinced."

"However, Ambrera's relevant R&D capabilities are really strong, and the current performance of the 'white queen' even exceeds the same model of fruit just by looking at the parameters."

"Otherwise, why do you think it's called 'Ambrera'?"

", you guys go to the outside network to see, the bunker, the red queen's mobile phone!"

"What's wrong again?"

But now that there is a simultaneous translation, it has become quite easy to understand, and when I go out to see, the hottest spot at this time is a little brother on the TT who is talking excitedly about his experience on the hospital bed.

"Brothers, I was saved by the 'Red Queen'!"

While finishing speaking, he also took out his mobile phone, only to see that the red queen mobile phone, which could not be broken by falling, was now full of a cracking feeling, and even deformed.

But looking at this kind of cracking and deformation, no one thinks that the quality of the red queen phone is not good!

Because, there is a warhead embedded in the phone, a warhead stained with blood!

The warhead was firmly stuck in the phone.

And the battery that was penetrated did not explode at this time.

Then, the little brother on the hospital bed said to the screen

"Brothers, the unfortunate news is that I broke two ribs, so now I need to be hospitalized, but luckily, I survived!"

"Thank you Ambrera, thank you Red Queen, thank you for my phone!"

"I will treasure it forever and pass it on because it saved my life!"
