Chapter 276 A Surprise for the World: The 14nm Chip
The large screen switched back to displaying the four versions of the Taishan 910...
"Brothers, apologize quickly, don't let President Shen switch back again."
"They probably won't switch over, but I feel like they're keeping us in suspense."
"Oh no! I'm watching but don't know the answer, and I'm really itching to know. Is the telepathic communication going to be something big today?"
"Go for something big? Just don't make a huge mess..."
"Do they really think semiconductor manufacturing processes are that easy to break through? Transsion will quietly roll out a second-generation 28nm technology for you, with a performance boost [doge emoji]"
But just as they were worrying, Shen Fei on stage read out the final answer directly.
"The upgraded version of Taishan 910 has a benchmark score of 4.2."
The enhanced version scored 4.8 points.
In addition, specific performance figures were also displayed on the big screen: CPU single-core performance improved by 35%, multi-core performance improved by 54%, and GPU performance improved by 47%.
Power consumption decreased by 63.5%
This impressive series of figures left many people in disbelief.
"Impossible. It seems those experts were right. Transsion is completely addicted to its own data kingdom."
"Holy crap, how many generations does this span?"
"Others are still in the thousands of points, not even breaking 10,000, but you're already close to 50,000."
Even though I'm a fan, I still can't believe it!
The director also gave some close-up shots of the audience, and everyone was frowning, unable to believe the result.
"I know some people won't believe it, but this chip is manufactured using the world's leading 14-nanometer process!"
With only a few seconds of pre-attack animation, Shen Fei unleashed his ultimate move!
Chaos immediately erupted in the audience.
"14nm is impossible! Semiconductor technology cannot advance that quickly."
"Taiwan Electronics just officially announced 28nm, and this is already 14nm?"
"That's too fake?"
"Brothers, look at the live stream, the big shots don't seem excited at all."
Perhaps it's true...
At this moment, Zhang Shiqing and the others in the guest seats did not show any shock. Instead, they looked as if it were a matter of course, and even a little proud!
From this day forward, China's semiconductor industry will establish a firm foothold in international advanced standards!
As for where the technology came from, don't worry about him being able to get it; it's his.
Just like in the construction industry, if you move a steel coil by hand, it's not considered stealing.
At the same time, the PPT on the large screen changed again, showing a benchmark score of 4.2 for the 14nm standard version.
The 14nm enhanced version scores 4.8 in benchmarks?
"I don't know if this manufacturing process will convince everyone of this benchmark score."
I believe that everyone's question right now is how they managed to break through to 14 nanometers.
After all, the most advanced chip manufacturing process in the world is 28nm, which we have mastered long ago, while our competitors only just broke through this year.
Our competitors won't be able to mass-produce 14nm chips until at least 2015.
What makes you think you can transmit sound?
He moved back and forth on the stage, giving people a profound feeling.
"This is because Transsion Semiconductor has been simultaneously pursuing three routes over the past two years."
28nm, 22nm, and 14nm are being developed simultaneously.
We're not skipping generations, we're operating in parallel.
The audience still couldn't believe it, but then they thought of Huaxin Investment, which had been blacklisted by the American capital market, and they felt it was possible.
Perhaps Transsion gained more from the 2008 financial crisis than they imagined.
"Today, the three versions of the S3 will each be equipped with three of these four chips."
As usual, the standard version will be released first by our sister company, Huawei.
The director then gave Yu Dazui a special shot, but he was holding a Mate 7 demo unit in his hand...
「我们的S3标準版将首发搭载28nm强化版的泰山910，S3 Pro将首发搭载14nm标準版，S3 Pro Max将首发搭载14nm强化版。」
Despite the variety of models, none of the audience members had any complaints!
What are you hesitating for? Just go for the top-of-the-line model!
The online live streaming rooms have completely descended into chaos.
"It really is 14nm, Transsion is going to fly!"
"I heard the Apple A6 is coming out soon, and its performance has been greatly improved. I wonder if it can compete?"
"Let alone fruit, the Orion 4212 used in the Sansheng S3 only scores a little over 5000 in benchmark tests, while Transsion is ten times better."
"I wonder if our stolen emperor is watching the live stream right now? I wonder how he's feeling?"
"Hey, stop talking upstairs! Our Emperor Who Was Stolen Has Headed to India and decided to unleash his ultimate telepathic attack. Maybe one day he'll make a glorious return and crush the telepathic attackers in the dust [doge emoji]"
"I'm really looking forward to it! I definitely have to buy one to support it!"
At that moment, Lei Jun, known as the "Emperor of the Stolen Items," was indeed watching the live stream.
In his hotel room in New Delhi, the television was barely playing footage of Transsion's press conference.
Lin Bing was sitting next to him, and both of them looked very unpleasant.
"Mr. Lei, 14nm..." Lin Bin's voice was a little flustered, but also had a completely carefree feel to it.
After all, there's not much to compare between them and the telepathic communication... If there's no comparison, then there's no need to argue.
"I saw it!" Lei Jun's hands were trembling. "The Mi 3s uses a Qualcomm chip, and its benchmark score is less than 2."
The S3 Pro Max scored 48000, more than double my score.
Lin Bin remained silent, but he thought to himself that it would be a good thing if Lei Jun could let go of the past.
At the same time, Cook finally saw this.
Hardware director John Sruggie asked again, "Tim, is this data reliable?"
"Reliable?" Cook's tone was devoid of any doubt. "They can lie to us about anything, but they definitely won't lie about chip performance."
"And what about our A6...?"
"At most a little over 1." Cook shook his head slightly. "And the A6 uses 32nm, while Transsion already uses 14nm."
There's a difference of three generations.
Everyone in the conference room felt a wave of despair, their minds still replaying the image of last year's iPhone 4 and this year's iPhone 4s, two phones being crushed by a Motorola S2.
It seems like the Fruit 5 at the end of the year is out of the question now...
"Tim, should we release the A7 ahead of schedule?"
"It's still in the lab stage, it will take at least another year." Cook shook his head again. "Notify the R&D team to change the target process for A7 to 14nm, it must be out within a year."
"A year? That's impossible..."
"Impossible, yet possible." Cook looked at him. "Don't worry about the process. That young man is enjoying this situation."
He'll definitely agree...
Meanwhile, pizza shops near the press conference building in the United States were bustling with activity once again.
Representatives from the Ministry of Commerce and the CIA were seated around a round table, with footage from Transsion's press conference playing on a projector. A pile of pizzas was also laid out in the center.
