Chapter 505 Chip Competition
The prices of these three flagship-level processors have basically reached more than 1000 yuan. As a relatively cheap video flagship chip, the price of the Huateng Z700 is about 1100 yuan.

The price of the remaining two processor chips with very strong performance is about 1200 to 1300 yuan.

Due to the three-nanometer manufacturing process of the processor, the difficulty of chip production has increased by several levels, resulting in a delay in mass production. Among them, the processor chip of Huateng Z700 can be mass-produced in April, while the other two The new processor chip will not be able to achieve mass production until after May.

This also means that mobile phone manufacturers who want to buy these chips will basically not be able to use these flagship-level processors in the first half of next year, and will have to wait until June next year before they can truly appear. Brand new model coming.

This also means that the flagship market in the first half of next year will basically be a flagship contest between MediaTek and Qualcomm Fire Dragon.

However, Huateng's mid-range processor chips are also very strong, especially the X-series processor chips.

The performance level of the two processor chips X165 and X165T is very good, but according to the information given by Huateng, they can be purchased at the end of February and early March. This is also the most powerful processor of Huateng. When the chip actually hits the market.

It is also Huateng's strongest processor chip in the mobile phone market in the first half of next year. Of course, Huateng's mid-range processor chips and low-end processor chips are also very good. For manufacturers who want to seize the thousand-yuan market , is indeed very attractive.

According to the information given by Huateng, the Huateng G680 and G780 processor chips will be able to be mass-produced by the end of December, which means that mobile phone manufacturers will be able to obtain these mid-to-low-end processors in early January. chip.

The Huateng G680 processor chip may be the strongest low-end processor chip in the entire mobile phone market at present. This processor chip is the low-end chip in 2022.

If it is placed in the mobile phone market in 20 years, it will definitely be regarded as a flagship-level processor chip, and even if it is placed in 2022, it will be invincible.

As a mid-range processor and chip, Huateng G780 has been able to compete with last year's Qualcomm Fire Dragon K860 in terms of overall performance, and the performance of this processor chip is just right in the mid-range.

And Huateng Company also believes that some manufacturers will sell the price of this processor chip to more than 2000 or even 3000 yuan.

After all, the performance of mobile phone processor chips can be said to be really fast, and the performance of today's mid-range processor chips is even more terrifying, and today's mobile phones can basically use such processor chips. Get support from users.

Huateng's technology summit has finally come to an end, and various mobile phone manufacturers have truly realized the power of Huateng. Now Huateng's strength in the production of mobile phone processor chips is one of the best in the world. Basically, there is no Mobile phone manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturers can endanger Huateng's status.

The level of processor chips brought by Huateng is also one of the best, so strong that some Qualcomm and MediaTek processors are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Huateng.

Of course, February and March of this year are a month when various flagship mobile phones compete for the market. Naturally, various mobile phone manufacturers will choose to seize enough opportunities to choose to seize the mobile phone market, and today’s Huateng’s chips cannot satisfy these mobile phone manufacturers. Mobile phone manufacturers need to face the current situation to other manufacturers.

The Huateng Technology Summit is finally over, and the mobile phone manufacturers are very satisfied with this technology summit, but they still need to take a look at the release of MediaTek and Qualcomm's processor chips.

After all, February and March are opportunities for various mobile phone manufacturers to release flagship phones, and various mobile phone manufacturers want to seize this opportunity and strive to occupy a certain market share.

After Huateng released the technology summit, Qualcomm, the world's largest semiconductor chip designer, also released its own flagship processor chip.

As a mobile phone manufacturer with a long history, Qualcomm has a very good strength and level.

The processor chip released by Qualcomm last year made Qualcomm lose face. After all, Qualcomm has never been labeled like this by other processor manufacturers.

Even the released Qualcomm Fire Dragon K860 has become a new joke, after all, the heat level of Qualcomm Fire Dragon K860 is too strong.

It is a fire dragon in the true sense. Although Qualcomm has made a lot of efforts in terms of the overall strength of the processor chip, it still cannot save the current fire dragon.

After a year of hard work, this time Qualcomm adopted TSMC's latest 4nm manufacturing process technology to develop a brand new Qualcomm Fire Dragon K870 processor chip.

This processor chip manufactured by the 4nm manufacturing process has consumed most of Qualcomm's efforts. In Qualcomm's eyes, the level of this processor chip is definitely better than most mobile phone manufacturers.

According to what Qualcomm said, the performance of this processor chip is 860% higher than that of the previous generation Qualcomm Fire Dragon K18 processor chip, and the power consumption is reduced by 30%. mobile phone chips.

Of course, Qualcomm does not know how powerful the current Huateng processor chip is, and Qualcomm now understands that it is very difficult for its own processor chip to compete with Huateng.

However, Qualcomm understands that the current Huateng processor chips should encounter very big problems in terms of output. After all, the current Huateng processor chips cannot use other companies' technologies, which means that such Huateng processor chips should not Develop stronger processor chips.

This makes the current communication more confident, and can regain the market that Huateng had previously taken away. After all, Huateng is no longer an opponent without the technical support it used to have.

It's just that Qualcomm didn't expect that Huateng not only has brand-new technology, but also has a revolutionary breakthrough in processor chips. It can be said that Huateng's processor chips have completely surpassed Apple's processors. chip.

In addition to this high-end processor, this Qualcomm event also released two mid-range processor chips and a low-end processor chip, trying to regain its own market.

The two mid-range processor chips used this time, one is a down-frequency version compared to last year's Huolong K860.

After all, the current high school has fully grasped the true meaning of squeezing toothpaste. As long as I start from last year's flagship processor chip, I will definitely improve it and become a new processor chip. At that time, there will naturally be users for this. Pay for the new processor chip.

After all, after the improved processor, the performance level of the chip is very huge compared to the number of improvements, and it also has certain advantages in terms of price, so it will naturally become a major choice for various manufacturers to choose processor chips.

And this brand-new mid-range processor chip cancels the original five-nanometer process technology used by Samsung, and adopts today's most trusted partner of Qualcomm, TSMC's non-nano-manufacturing process, which is better than last year in terms of overall performance. The level of Qualcomm Fire Dragon K860 is much stronger.

After all, last year’s Qualcomm Fire Dragon K860 was also due to Samsung. Samsung’s overall technology is still worse than the current TSMC, which is why Qualcomm today uses TSMC’s technology.

After a new frequency reduction, the power consumption of this processor has been slightly controlled.

And there are certain breakthroughs in performance. According to the current performance running score, the performance running score of this processor chip should be around 72 points. It is a very good and powerful mid-range processor chip. .

Qualcomm temporarily named this processor chip as Qualcomm's Fire Dragon K860R.

The other one is an ordinary upgraded version of the mid-range processor chip, the Qualcomm Fire Dragon K770 processor chip.

Judging from the naming of this processor, this processor is a conventional upgrade, and this processor chip also uses the current 4-nanometer manufacturing process of TSMC.

In terms of overall performance, it can basically reach the level of Qualcomm Fire Dragon K850.

The performance score of this processor is about 60 points. It is a processor chip built by Qualcomm for the mid-range. The CPU level of this processor chip is very strong, but the GPU level is slightly behind. Last year's Qualcomm Fire Dragon K850.

However, Qualcomm believes that the performance improvement of this processor chip is its own product, the mid-range processor chip with the most improvement in history, and Qualcomm also believes that this processor chip can be recognized by the market.

In addition to mid-range processors, Qualcomm also released a low-end entry-level processor chip.

The name of this processor chip is called Qualcomm Fire Dragon K670 processor chip.

The target of this processor chip is Huateng and MediaTek's processor chips. After all, last year's Huateng's processor chips and MediaTek's processor chips were both very good.

Dimensity 800, Dimensity 900, and Huateng G670 are the best processor chips used in the mid-to-low end last year, and these processor chips have one thing in common, that is, their performance has reached a certain level. Basically, it can meet the user's basic use.

And this processor chip can fully run most games without too much lag at all, and can basically act as a mid-to-high-end chip in previous years.

Last year, the performance of the low-end processor chip released by Qualcomm was only close to 30. This kind of performance can be said to have not even reached the tail, and naturally it has been complained by many consumers.

This also made Qualcomm lose a lot of share in the low-end market last year, which also made Qualcomm pay more and more attention to the low-end market. For this reason, Qualcomm specially launched the latest low-end processor chips.

And in the eyes of Qualcomm, this is the biggest upgrade of its own processor chips. Compared with the previous generation of processor chips, the performance has been improved by 70%.

According to the current performance level, the performance of this processor has basically reached the level of Dimensity 900, and even surpassed it in terms of GPU.

According to the running score, the actual performance running score of this processor chip should be 47 points. This is also the entry-level processor chip that Qualcomm is most proud of, and Qualcomm also believes that this processor chip It should be favored by major manufacturers and applied to the entry-level models of various companies today.

Qualcomm has released 4 processor chips this year, among which the mid-to-low end processor chips are what Qualcomm values ​​more. After all, Qualcomm’s mid-to-low-end market has been completely snatched by Huateng and MediaTek, and even a little turnaround There is no room for it.

In order to regain its position in a real sense, Qualcomm had no choice but to release some powerful mid-to-low-end processor chips to seize its original market.

In addition to Qualcomm's traditional manufacturers, MediaTek is still ready for everything and wants to rise again, and MediaTek's development direction this time is to adopt the same 4-nanometer process of TSMC.

The level demonstrated by Tektronix over the years can be said to have caught the eyes of many users, and the high cost performance of Liantek processor chips has also been recognized by most users.

And for next year's market launch, we have also prepared 5 processor chips, and want to seize the market. Of course, on the new technology summit of R & D customers, the R & D department only announced 4 processor chips, and the other processor chips The processor chip also revealed some news, but it will not be announced until the second half of the year.

Among them, the MediaTek processor chip released Dimensity 2000, Dimensity 1600, Dimensity 1500 and Dimensity 920, which mainly focus on the low-end market.

Of course, there is also a processor chip that has not been announced to all consumers, the Dimensity 2100 processor chip, which will become the real flagship chip released by MediaTek in the second half of this year.

As the flagship processor chip released by MediaTek in the first half of this year, the Dimensity 2000 processor also uses TSMC's 4-nanometer process.

Since the current TSMC does not produce processor chips for Huawei Kirin, TSMC now has sufficient production capacity, and has basically begun to meet the OEM production of Apple, Qualcomm MediaTek and other mobile processor platforms.

The Dimensity 2000 processor chip of MediaTek this time is very powerful in terms of overall level, and has basically reached the same level in terms of performance, which can be close to the same level as the current Huateng G870.

In terms of overall performance running points, it can also reach a good score of 90 points, which is a relatively large improvement compared to last year.

In addition, the other two processor chips of the R&D department also have very good performance capabilities. Judging from the naming, the overall strength should be stronger than last year's flagship processor chip.

Of course, these two processor chips belong to the same level of processor chips as last year's Dimensity 1200 and Dimensity 1100.

This processor chip is facing the chips equipped with sub-flagship and mid-to-high-end mobile phones.

The biggest difference between the two processors is that the core frequency of the CPU is different, and they are basically very similar in other aspects, which also makes the difference in performance between Dimensity 1600 and Dimensity 1500 not very large.

Among the two processor chips, Dimensity 1600 and Dimensity 1500 both use TSMC's 5nm process technology, and in terms of performance, the performance scores of both have reached about 80 points.

The performance running score of Dimensity 1600 is about 82 points, while the running score of Dimensity 1500 is about 76 points.

Judging from the performances announced now, the performance of these two processors can be said to be very good and have reached a certain level.

Even judging from the performance of the two processor chips, these two processor chips may be aimed at this year's Huateng and Qualcomm's mid-range processor chips. After all, the level of these two processor chips is still very high. competitive.

Today's development of MediaTek basically hits the high-end. Judging from the processor chips developed and released last year and this year, they are all flagship processor chips released towards high-end.

As for the low-end market, all of them are handed over to products below the Dimensity 1000 series.

Last year, it was handed over to three SOCs, Dimensity 820, Dimensity 800, and Dimensity 900.

Then this year's MediaTek handed over the current low-end market to Dimensity 920.

Judging from the command, the Dimensity 920 is an upgraded version of the Dimensity 900 processor chip. In terms of overall performance, it is only a certain upgrade of the Dimensity 900.

The performance running score of Dimensity 900 is about 45 points, while Dimensity 920 mainly overclocks the GPU of Dimensity 900, and replaces a large core of Dimensity 900 with an a78 core, making The performance of CPU and GPU has also been improved rapidly.

Of course, the design and manufacturing process used for this mid-to-low-end processor chip is still the 6-nanometer manufacturing process currently used by TSMC, and the overall performance score can reach 52 points.

From the performance point of view, this processor chip is indeed very good and can meet the basic performance requirements of most users.

At the same time, such performance, to be honest, can basically meet the daily chip usage of most users in the entire industry.

This year, MediaTek and Qualcomm are preparing to gain a certain share in the entire chip track.

It can be said that with the gradual intensification of competition among mobile phone manufacturers, chip manufacturers also regard processor chips as a very important field of competition.

Basically, looking at each processor chip from the current stacking of processor chips, they have basically accumulated all the technologies that their company can adopt. What kind of results can be achieved in the end, basically We must rely on our own abilities.

Whoever has the strongest strength will have the initiative to occupy the market share in the future.
