Chapter 114 Money Printing Machine

The SOC chosen by Wang Fan is composed of CPU, GPU, DSP, etc., all of which adopt brand-new solutions and architectures.

The high-frequency version of CPU has 8 cores and 64 bits, adopts 14nm process technology, and has multiple instruction sets such as arm and mips.

It can be perfectly compatible with the current mainstream arm architecture, the power consumption and heat generation are well controlled, and the performance is even stronger.

8 cores, using a hybrid design similar to bit.LITTLE, divided into three levels.

Among them, two low-performance cores are 1.5GHz, four high-performance cores are 2.5GHz, and two ultra-high-performance cores are 3.0GHz.

This surprised Wang Fan. We must know that the current mobile chip 2.5GHz is already the limit. For mobile phones, 8-core structure does not need 3.0GHz at all.

Moreover, with such a high main frequency, Wang Fan couldn't help worrying about battery life and heat. He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the 810.

Therefore, Wang Fan installed this SOC in the high-end version of Xiaomi note for testing in the laboratory.

Of course, some series of adjustments are affirmative, but these are all done automatically by the system.

The result surprised him. Playing NBA2k15, the whole process was more than 60 frames, and there was no frame drop or freeze.

The temperature is even more pleasant, 27 degrees, cold, only two degrees higher than the 25 degrees of the experimental environment.

Then Wang Fan performed the Tutu running score again, and directly ran out of 20 results!

However, this score was not verified by the system and was treated as cheating.

You must know that the current highest level is Samsung's 7420, which is only about 8, and even the Apple A9's score is only more than 13.

That is to say, the highest level of the new generation of SOC next year will basically be around 13, and this SOC will come to 20 this year!
And no matter the single-core score or the multi-core score, it is well-deserved first, pulling No.2 far, far away.

The performance is not ordinary brutal!

Wang Fan quickly quit AnTuTu, adjusted the temperature of the laboratory to 30 degrees, and played NBA2k15 for another half an hour, but there was still no fever, and the body temperature was only 33 degrees.

With the most advanced mobile phones at present, it is very rare to be able to keep the temperature at around 40 degrees when playing this game.

The battery life index fed back by the laboratory is also perfect, almost keeping the power consumption to a minimum.

Three levels, processes with different loads, and core combinations with different main frequencies are used to ensure sufficient performance without causing too much waste.

In addition, it supports fast charging, with 200mV increments as a gear, providing a flexible choice of voltage from 3.6V to 25V, the maximum current supports 5A, and the maximum power is 125W.

Of course, the actual maximum effect depends on the maximum acceptance of the battery and other equipment.After all, 125W, the current mobile phone battery can't bear it at all.

You must know that the fastest fast charging at present is only about 24W, and it can be fully charged to about 70% in half an hour, and it can be fully charged in more than 70 minutes.

As for this SOC, it is conservatively estimated that it can be charged to 10% in 70 minutes and 20% in 100 minutes.

For the ever-accelerating pace of life, this advantage is simply essential!

The performance, battery life, heating, compatibility, and fast charging of the entire SOC are almost perfect and impeccable!
And the potential is endless. The two super large cores of 3.0GHz are not used in many scenarios, and they are completely future-oriented.

Therefore, this SOC can be used not only for mobile phones, but also for other smart devices, even notebooks!
Thinking of this, Wang Fan chose another ASUS Flying Fortress to be equipped with this SOC, and the system still made a series of adjustments.

Running games with the highest graphics quality such as Blade and Soul is still perfect.

Wang Fan was completely stunned, what kind of monster is this?
Especially GPU performance, it is estimated that it can catch up with NVIDIA's TegraX1, which is not yet on the market.

You must know that this is the existence that has been slamming the entire mobile camp, and it is not even used by mobile phones at all.

Wang Fan did some research again. This SOC directly integrates the baseband chip and supports cat12/13.

Although the current domestic network environment is the highest CAT6, operators are trial running CAT9, which is likely to be officially commercialized next year.

As for the current SOC, apart from Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple, other highest standards can support the CAT6 standard.

Once CAT9 is commercialized next year, many flagship phones are destined to be unable to support it, and will still stay at the level of CAT6.

Wang Fan's SOC can be said to be future-oriented.

And there are fellow brothers with 28nm process, but the main frequency of that one is lower, 4 1.5GHZ, 4 2.5GHZ, the others are the same as the high-frequency version.

After all, the 28nm process, if the main frequency is so high, heat and battery life will be a problem.

He once again tested the 28nm SOC in simulation, and the running score on AnTuTu was as high as 15!
That is to say, this low-frequency version must exceed the level of Samsung and Qualcomm's next-generation flagships!

This is indeed brutally excessive. You must know that the next generation of Qualcomm and Samsung are all 14nm process, while the low-frequency version is only 28nm, two generations behind, but still overtaking...

But in any case, so far, the SOC design problem is solved.

Wang Fan intends to launch two models, a 14nm ultra-powerful version, and find Intel as an OEM.

Another low-frequency version of 28nm is found by SMIC.

No matter which one, once it goes on the market, it will definitely cause a sensation!
Thinking of this, Wang Fan happily hummed a song:

Oudi Laoga was formed in Zegetun
Even the family was born and raised in the village
Don't look at the size of the village, there are mountains, rivers, and speed
Neighbors are friendly at first, young and old are even more slippery

There have been many black and many black things in Tunzilei

In retrospect, that was a special stalk

……

But extreme joy always begets sorrow, and Wang Fan suddenly realized that he had overlooked a big problem!
There is no doubt that this SOC is powerful, and it integrates a baseband chip.

Compared with the external baseband, directly integrating the baseband chip has many advantages, not only less power consumption, good heat control, but also stable and not easy to drop!
This is why Qualcomm SOC is so popular, it is the integrated baseband, including CDMA baseband.

However, although Wang Fan's soc integrates a powerful baseband chip, it infringes Qualcomm's CDMA patent, or is not authorized, which is a big problem!
Qualcomm has more than 3000 CDMA patents, accounting for 27% of the total CDMA patents, and most of them are essential patents.

It monopolizes 92% of the global CDMA market and earns a lot of income every year. It is not too much to say that Qualcomm is a money printing machine!
As the saying goes, once you enter telecommunications, the depth of the sea is like a sea, and mobile phones are not easy to sell from then on.

Because all Netcom mobile phones or telecom mobile phones are inseparable from the CDMA baseband.

This is why there are so many dual 4G mobile phones in China that do not support telecom.Why are many full Netcom versions or telecom versions more expensive than dual 4G versions!
Once you want to do full Netcom, or telecommunications, you can't do without the cdma baseband.

Workarounds are limited:
First, buy Qualcomm's SOC directly.

Second, buy Qualcomm's CDMA baseband plug-in.

Third, add VIA's 55nm stock cdma baseband.

However, Qualcomm is insidious. Relying on its own monopoly advantage, the price of CDMA baseband is set to be almost the same as that of the entire SOC. It is simply buying the baseband and sending the SOC, and there are a series of patent charging standards!
Even if you don't need SOC, but only baseband, you still have to pay the money.

That’s why Apple, with its deep pockets, chose this method. Of course, Apple’s large size may have bargaining power, which is unknown.

However, the third method is very unreliable. VIA has basically given up the SOC business, and the 55nm baseband in stock is too backward, and the power consumption is simply scary.

Wang Fan didn't want to have a power-hungry door too.

It is even more impossible to buy Qualcomm's SOC and CDMA baseband, given the current relationship between Mortal Technology and Qualcomm.

This situation is simply overwhelming, with no way out.

If this problem cannot be solved, even if he compromises with Qualcomm, Wang Fan's SOC plan will still go bankrupt.

Because in order to promote its own SOC and maintain competitiveness, Qualcomm has never authorized other manufacturers to develop CDMA-based SOCs, at least not now.

Even if both China and South Korea conduct monopoly investigations on Qualcomm, even if there is a huge fine, they still do not authorize it!
Wang Fan's previous excitement was swept away, and the good thing he had thought about for a long time turned into a daydream!
However, he is not someone who is easy to compromise, and began to look for other SOC solutions.

Warwick's HiSilicon has always had dual basebands. In addition to the integrated baseband, an external CDMA baseband is installed. This method is not acceptable.

Lianfa Branch...

kindness!Lianfa Branch!
Wang Fan brought up the relevant information, and couldn't help but beam with joy, there is no unparalleled road!
Lianfa's solution is exactly what Wang Fan needs!
