Technology derived

Chapter 113 Derivative SOC
Physical stores in golden locations all over the country, sales staff with excellent service attitude and performance ability.

Especially those brick-and-mortar stores, bananas are so ruthless that they have opened to towns and even villages!
Anyway, the bananas have gone downhill, these valuable wealth, rather than rotten in the hands of the bananas, it is better to show their power in the hands of Wang Fan!

Wang Fan sighed, since when did he become so black-bellied, could it be because of Song Qian's influence?

It's just how to work, so that they can collectively change jobs and join Mortal Technology?

Wang Fan thought for a long time, but in the end he had to rely on Xu Shuai!
But Wang Fan didn't know, what was in Xu Shuai's heart for Wei Han's support and support?

If he is grateful to Dade, unswervingly determined, and betrays Wang Fan, then his plan will be completely bankrupt!
Wang Fan sighed, there is no rush for this matter, he can only plan slowly and win steadily!
No longer worrying about these things, Wang Fan went to the UI design department for another round.

Before they reached the door, there was a sound of arguing inside.

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

"These are all newly made, and everyone thinks they are good. They look better than most of the app icons on the market. They are already good. We should focus on system stability!"

"What does it look good on? Just put the original icon into a large curved frame and beautify it a little bit? What are you kidding! The solution to this kind of rubbish is only what Feng Shao can think of!"

"Yang Yan, don't talk nonsense! You go to the market and see, many big brands handle it like this!"

"It is precisely because of this that we cannot be like this!"

"You mean, redraw everything?"

"Of course repaint!"

"Do you know how much work this is? At least thousands of icons. If only the commonly used ones are redrawn, the first screen will appear like a god, and the second screen will appear like a pig. If we redraw all of them, our manpower is limited. There are fewer people in charge of the system!"

……

Wang Fan understood what the two were arguing about.

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

As the surface layer of the system, the UI's style, beauty and ugliness directly affect the user's first impression.

While users deal with mobile phones every day, the interaction is carried out through UI, and the beauty and ugliness of UI are naturally very important.

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

But popular themes also have problems, private production, limited energy, it is impossible to take care of all application icons.

Therefore, those who are taken care of are beautiful, but those who are not taken care of are ugly and the whole is not harmonious.

It's the so-called first screen like a god, second screen like a pig!
The real solution is to rely on the theme that comes with the system, because only manufacturers have the ability to redraw thousands of icons.

Flyme has done a good job in this area. Last year, version 4.0 redraws more than 3000 icons. The overall style is very harmonious, simple and beautiful, and it is known as the most beautiful UI.

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

But this aspect consumes a lot of manpower. In addition to the over-expansion last year, human resources cannot keep up. There are some problems with system stability, and even have a bugme hat.

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

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

Wang Fan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hello, Chairman."

"Hello, Chairman."

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

Wang Fan patted their shoulders and asked their names.

The person in charge who advocates redrawing, named Yang Yan, was dug from Meizu, and he pays great attention to aesthetics.

The other person was dug from Xiaomi, named Feng Shao, who pays attention to system stability.

Wang Fan smiled and said: "What you say is reasonable. The UI is another face of the mobile phone, and it must not be ugly. Stability is the foundation of the system. In this way, Yang Yan is in charge of UI design, and all icons are redrawn. There are not enough people. I'll recruit you again. Feng Shao is in charge of stability, and there are quite a few people in the original team..."

Although Wang Fan has a technological 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 by himself.

Afterwards, he went to another skeuomorphic UI development department, which was very harmonious.

There may be few people who like skeuomorphism, and they share similar interests, sympathize with each other, and are very united.

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

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

他再次拿出韩三平拆的那些手机，找出高通810、三星7420、苹果A9、MTK6795、海思935几款soc。

These are the most advanced mobile SOCs at the moment. To be an SOC, Wang Fan can only be derived from them.

Wang Fan made derivatives one by one. Although each model has been greatly improved, it has not achieved the effect he wanted.

The reason is simple, every derivative of SOC is only evolved and improved on the basis of this one.

For example, the derivative of 810 is simply an upgrade on the basis of 810, but it is still in the style of Qualcomm, but there are fewer disadvantages and the performance is greatly improved.

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

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

It took a long time this time, and dozens of SOCs came out in the end, and each one was too powerful.

Wang Fan's head suddenly became dizzy, what's the matter with so many?Sometimes, having too many choices can be a pain.

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

Only 14 models can be mass-produced at the moment, using the 10nm process.Others require 7n process, or even [-]nm process.

The mass production of the 10nm process will take at least the next year. As for the 7nm, who knows when.

Comparing again, Wang Fan first gave up the SOC with the strongest performance, then gave up a special 3-core SOC, and finally chose the 8-core SOC that is not particularly outstanding.

The reason is simple. At present, Mortal Technology does not have its own fab, and the mass production of SOC needs to find Intel as a foundry.

Too advanced, it is easy to expose technology and provide the opponent with a basis for progress.

Therefore, we can only wait for the completion of our own fab in the future to produce more powerful socs.

Moreover, this SOC also has a low-frequency version of 28nm, which has more room for maneuver.

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

Since Xiaomi Leijun put the running score on the stage of the press conference, the entire Android camp has gone astray, and the parameters are far more important than the actual experience.

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

If Wang Fan chooses a 3-core SOC, no matter how powerful the performance is, it will far exceed 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 why Qualcomm is making an 8-core 810.

Previously, Qualcomm's 4-core 800/801 was the leader in each generation, with strong performance, heat generation and power consumption.

But mtk took the lead in using 8 cores, and then Samsung, HiSilicon, etc. also followed.

In this regard, Qualcomm was dumbfounded. Although Qualcomm's 4-core CPU is still very powerful, far surpassing the 8-core of MTK and HiSilicon, many consumers don't think so.

Therefore, Qualcomm can only strengthen 8 cores.

However, Qualcomm's 8-core accumulation is not enough, so it can only adopt ARM's public version architecture, so there is the most pitiful generation of 810.

This time, Qualcomm can be said to have been led into the ditch by mtk and others. If you talk too much, you will cry!
Therefore, for the next-generation 820, Qualcomm will no longer play with them, and will still follow its old path of 4 cores.Even mtk wants to radicalize the ground with 10 cores!
However, Qualcomm can be like this. It is the industry leader and has a prominent position. Except for some consumers who do not understand it, manufacturers and others know it. Overall, the impact is limited.

But ordinary people have different technologies, and most people will be skeptical when they enter the SOC field when they are just fledgling.

Once a wonderful 3-core SOC is adopted, it will definitely be regarded as the five scum of the war!

Even if he can stand up and prove his strength in the end, Wang Fan can't wait. The current mobile phone market is so competitive.

The domestic mobile phones are basically sold well in the first one or two months after they are launched, and the price cuts and promotions will start after four months. In about half a year, the basic price will be discounted by one-third to one-half.

It is not uncommon for a mobile phone priced at 3000 to drop to 1000 in half a year.There are those who have dropped 4 within 1000 months of listing.
