Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 378 News from Mount Tai 920

Some people in the audience started clapping, while others started looking down at their phones.

He didn't send a message to his boss back home; this message was too important.

Jacob then spent 15 minutes detailing the various new features of the Fire Dragon 801.

For example, it supports 4K video recording for the first time, supports multi-screen interaction, and supports more advanced image signal sensors... Each feature is packaged as an "industry first".

But what truly ignited the audience was the set of game test data he presented at the end.

On the large screen, two displays are side by side. On the left is the frame rate curve of Asphalt 801, and on the right is the same game running on a Pure Sound S3 with a Taishan 910.

火龙的游戏实测帧率在58~60帧，泰山910的帧率却只卡在了50~56帧。

Whether it's frame rate or fluctuation, the Taishan 910 performs worse.

The rice company's purchasing staff did not immediately believe this data.

There's definitely something fishy going on here, but whether there's something fishy or not doesn't matter. As long as he can save the rice company, that's enough.

"The Snapdragon 801 is not just a processor; it is the brain of the next generation of smartphones."

And it's open to everyone, not just one company.

Jacob concluded the press conference with a profound statement.

The last sentence, "It's not just one company," was clearly a veiled jab at Transsion.

If you want to enter the food delivery market, then open it up to everyone. Don't create some kind of "9-series" system that's only for your own use. Although it creates a clear hierarchy, customers won't accept it.

Qualcomm's stock price immediately rose after the press conference.

The shares that fell a couple of days ago due to the breakthrough of China Semiconductor have rebounded instantly.

Meanwhile, various reports began to appear every day.

#Qualcomm reclaims mobile chip performance crown from French crew#

The #Dragon 8011's outstanding benchmark score of 6 surpasses the Taishan 910, redefining the performance ceiling of flagship phones#

Transsion's leading position in the chip industry may be more fragile than imagined. Qualcomm's 28nm process has been optimized to its limit, reaching a level comparable to 14nm.

The entire American market is celebrating. China's brief lead in chip manufacturing has ended, and the era of international semiconductors, led by Qualcomm, is about to begin!

After all, your grandpa is still your grandpa! You can't escape their grasp even if you transmit your voice.

At the same time, some subtle voices began to emerge on Weibo and Zhihu.

Some people have begun to question whether Transsion's 14nm is just a nominal 14nm, and whether the actual technology level is 16 or 22nm.

After all... if it really is 14, how come it can't beat Qualcomm's 28?

Is the sound transmission design really that bad?

Some people even deliberately brought up the so-called "game throttling" issue with Transsion S3.

It is said that frequency reduction will occur after playing games for a long time.

These claims are difficult to verify, but they spread very quickly. The media outlet immediately refuted the rumors and provided some evidence.

There is indeed frequency throttling, but it's a necessary throttling that occurs when the phone overheats after three hours of continuous gaming...

After the announcement was released, Li Qing hurriedly went into Professor Li Jiahui's office on the 19th floor.

"Professor Li and the others have already reached 6 points, when will our 920 score come out?"

Li Jiahui simply smiled.

"Taishan 920, don't rush, let's take a look at this skill first."

Qualcomm has truly gone mad by producing 2.55GHz on a 28nm process.

This time, Li Qing rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.

Sure enough, there was a line of tiny print below: "Laboratory data, obtained under conditions of guaranteed heat dissipation."

"According to their design, if the river is fully open for more than 5 minutes, the temperature of the back panel of the phone will be at least 45 degrees Celsius."

However, to ensure a good user experience, the manufacturer will definitely have put a lot of effort into the scheduling. This is definitely a high-resolution but low-performance chip; Qualcomm has followed MediaTek's path.

At this point, Li Jiahui also shook his head, saying that Qualcomm's actions were tantamount to crippling itself.

Performance for the sake of performance, but can Qualcomm compare to those who have cheated?

"But Professor Li, do you think consumers would care about these things?"

Li Qing hesitated for a moment.

After all, consumers don't care about power consumption, heat dissipation, or laboratory conditions.

They only look at the benchmark leaderboard; whoever has the highest score is the strongest.

Qualcomm's move is a brand awareness war.

Actual performance may be inferior, but our understanding cannot be inferior.

"Since they're playing like this, then this old man will play along with them. The tape-out of Taishan 920 is complete, and no problems have been found so far. It will be ready for mass production soon."

Let them be number one in the world for a while first.

What Li Jiahui didn't say was that this time they weren't using the reference architecture, nor were they using a modified version of the ARM V7A.

而是在这个永久授权的基础上改进的泰山1.0架构，除了和ARM V8一样支持64位架构，它的性能甚至比A57和A53还要强上15%左右。

"If that's the case, then I understand."

After speaking, Li Qing handed a publicity plan to Professor Li.

The text above describes the pre-launch promotional plan for the Transsion S5.

The theme is: "More Than Just Benchmarks".

The chart contains detailed frame rate curves, power consumption data, and heat dissipation comparisons. Although it doesn't mention anything, each comparison chart is designed to help consumers understand which chip is truly superior.

"In our tests, the Taishan 920 scored at least 8 points. That's only because we were busy with the architecture issues and didn't put enough effort into the design. Otherwise, its score would have been doubled."

At that moment, Huang Tianya knocked on the door and came in...

"By the way, there's a company in Taiwan that makes heat dissipation materials. Their lab has a new type of graphene heat dissipation conductive sheet."

The technology is not yet mature, but graphene conducts heat quickly, so I acquired them on a whim.

Let's see if they can mass-produce the technology in a short time. Then we can take advantage of the fire dragon and make a killing.

"Mr. Huang, are you trying to use physics to bring down the scores that Qualcomm overclocked to?"

Huang Tianya smiled, but the smile quickly faded: "We're just taking this opportunity to earn a little extra for our hard work."

Hahaha!

…………

Meanwhile, three days after Qualcomm's press conference, at the Sansan Electronics Mobile Communications Division building in South Korea.

Shin Jong-jun is thoroughly testing an engineering prototype. As a long-time partner of Qualcomm, he knows that no matter how eloquently they talk at the launch event, everything still depends on actual testing.

This test... dashed all my expectations.

"The benchmark score is indeed high."

He shook his head at the technical lead next to him.

"But the fever is too obvious."

The machine only ran for 20 minutes, and the frame started getting very hot to the touch.
