Big Country Technology Starts with Mobile Phones

The Chang Geng project team is focusing on 28nm and 20nm chip design this time. Combined with the previously successfully tested star architecture, the research and development progress is very fast.

What surprised Liu Dalang was that the research and development progress of 28nm was actually slower than that of 20nm. Logically speaking, this is unscientific. How come the more complex it is, the faster it is?

“It’s hard for us to explain. For example, the 28nm process technology can’t add enough things, and its stability is also relatively poor.

If you use the 20nm process technology, you can add more cores, and the structure will be more stable! "

Liu Dalang:......

"Then why are we still developing 28nm chips? Just go to 20nm! No, go straight to 14nm. Aren't there more things that can be added?"

The leader of the project team quickly explained: "If we don't start from the basics and understand the star structure, we are worried that problems will occur later."

Liu Dalang asked directly: "If we fully develop the 20nm process Chang Geng 4, how long will it take to tape out? At what level is it expected?"

"From now on, it will take about two months to successfully tap out. In theory, it will be stronger than Snapdragon 805, but there may be accidents..."

"Don't worry! Put all your efforts into 20nm Chang Geng 4, and I will take care of the rest!"

"no problem!"

The people in the Nebula R\u0026D department have never been procrastinating. They temporarily gave up the research and development of 28nm Chang Gung 3 and concentrated all their energy on Chang Gung 4.

In addition to chip research and development, Nebula's R\u0026D department has also made some technical reserves. The progress is very fast, and some products will be ready this year.

Although it cannot reach the level of mass production, some of the technologies can be used to hold a Nebula Technology Summit to expand its influence.

Liu Dalang, who returned to Nebula Technology Headquarters, opened the [Technology Collection] again and found a page: Dual-core linkage technology.

The price is 1 million points, which is equivalent to 1 billion points when converted. To put it simply, it means putting two chips together to achieve 1+1\u003e2.

Apple has used this technology to put two pieces of M1 Max together to become M1 Ultral.

Of course, this is not just about sticking two chips together. There are many principles involved, and the dual-core linkage technology is stronger.

M1 Ultral also requires two pieces of M1 Max to be spliced ​​together. The one Liu Dalang exchanged does not even need to be assembled, just put it on the same motherboard.

While inheriting the performance of the two chips, the power consumption has also been improved a lot. This technology was not used before because it was useless.

The chips that Nebula Technology can buy are mainly Qualcomm and MediaTek, and other manufacturers can also buy them, but the supply is small and the supply time is long.

Qualcomm Fire Dragon is too powerful, you can’t stand one and why are you pretending to have two? MediaTek is not powerful enough, and there are still certain problems with its own chip design.

If Chang Geng 4 can be stronger than Snapdragon 805, with better performance and power consumption, he will use Chang Geng 4 in flagship phones no matter what.

Ordinary mobile phones may not be suitable for dual-core linkage technology, but folding screen mobile phones will definitely be suitable, provided that the Chang Gung 4 performs well enough.

Otherwise, Liu Dalang can only choose NVIDIA Tegra X1 or Samsung Exynos 7420.

In the past few days, the Nebulas OS team has cooperated with several content providers to launch a practical anti-fraud guide in terms of security protection.

It was intended to make users more vigilant and not to trust all kinds of people in society. It received a lot of praise when it was first launched.

In the end, within two days, an accident occurred. A 31-year-old woman learned anti-fraud skills and went to the tiger mountain even though she knew that there were tigers in the mountains.

I took the initiative to send him to my door, trying to tease the scammer, but I was defrauded of more than 30,000 yuan. I later regretted it when I contacted the police uncle.

This time the Nebula Marketing Department is not going to make any hype. If you meet this kind of person twice in a row, you won't be able to bring him back even if the gods come, so you might as well choose to disappear.

But after what happened last time, this matter was quickly dug up by some unscrupulous media, and the security protection of Nebula OS became popular again.

Countless netizens left messages in the community:

"Please don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's majors! Really, try it and you'll be gone!"

"Do you really think liars are that easy to be cheated on?"

"Tai Shang Laojun has gone, and you have to be deceived into getting a few elixirs! How dare you?"

"666, open your eyes, open your eyes!"

"It seems that the security protection is not working either!"

"What does this have to do with security?"

"..."

Well, since they can’t teach it, the Nebula OS team simply doesn’t care about it and creates an anti-fraud guide. Maybe the scammers will improve their methods.

As long as they put the safety protection functions in place, in the future, whoever likes to do such thankless things will do it, but they won't do it anyway.

Throughout March, no matter whether it was a good or not-so-good limelight, Nebula Technology was out again, and Samsung had nothing to do if it wanted to promote it.

It was finally time for Samsung's special press conference in China, and just as they were gearing up for a big fight, Nebula Technology came out again.

And released an official announcement:

"Survival, Star Interactive Entertainment's first tactical competitive shooting sandbox game, will launch the '100 Days Operation' closed beta test on April 1!"

Despite the daily reminders in the Nebula community, they did not expect that the first game made by Nebula Technology for the Spark gaming phone would be released so soon:

"Isn't that right? The closed beta begins now?"

"Nebula Technology is awesome! We do what we say! I didn't buy my limited edition Starfire-Chi in vain!"

"Didn't you just complain about the limited edition Xinghuo-Chi not being as good-looking as Xingyu-Ning two days ago?"

"Sorry, you got the wrong person~"

"???"

"It looks like an FPS game!"

"Survival game? It's probably a game about collecting materials, building a house, and fighting monsters..."

"It's not a survival type, it's tactics, competition, shooting, and sandbox all rolled into one!"

"Whatever it is, download one when the time comes and I'll know it when I get in, right?"

“Looking at the promotional posters is not bad!”

"Looking forward to it~"

"..."

If it were a client game, the time would definitely be slower, but Star Interactive Entertainment’s priority is mobile games, which will be easier to produce and progress very quickly.

Liu Dalang took the time to take a brief look. It was different from the exciting battlefield style in his impression. It was more realistic and the main page was simpler.

Star Interactive Entertainment's so-called "100-day operation" actually only lasts three months for internal testing. After the internal testing is over, it is still unknown when the public beta will be released.

Because partitioning will be carried out at that time, it will not work without partitioning. There are many cheats in FPS games. Liu Dalang can only ensure that there are no cheats in Nebula OS.

He couldn't guarantee Android and Apple, because they couldn't defeat some plug-ins by themselves, so they could only take one step at a time.

Nebula Technology is not a philanthropist. These games themselves do not make money. Of course, they have to find ways to make money from other aspects, such as mobile phones.

Think about it, when plug-ins are flooding in the Android and IOS areas, Nebula OS has no plug-ins, which will naturally attract more consumers to buy Nebula phones.

Judging from the current level of completion, there should be little problem with the public beta before the end of the year, and the internal beta of the other two games will be later.

At the same time, Penguin is also preparing several popular mobile games. One of the games to be released in May is called the National Shooting Mobile Game.

It was formerly a PC game, but now it has been changed to a mobile game. If nothing else, it can attract a large number of players just based on emotion. After all, Penguin is still the same Penguin.

Shooting games are not the focus. The focus is on the MOBA mobile game battle in the second half of this year. If you want to compete with the king, Star Interactive Entertainment may have a little difficulty.

However, Liu Dalang can guarantee that Xingkong Interactive Entertainment’s games definitely have an advantage in terms of experience. When paired with Nebula OS, the smoothness is nothing to worry about.

In the early stage, the internal test is 30 frames, and the public beta is directly open to 60 frames. The processor cannot handle 90 frames. When the time comes, Penguin will definitely use one of its special skills:

You have me I have you!

Of course, these are all things for later. The purpose of Nebula Technology's "100-Day Operation" internal beta announcement is still the same, to steal Samsung's limelight.

Want to spread the word? Have you asked Nebula Technology? Don’t you see whose territory this is? Samsung was not fooled and quickly launched a counterattack.

With their strong spokesperson team, starting from the entertainment industry, dozens of celebrities and brands have advertised for Samsung.

They also include some great kings who are familiar to ordinary people. Needless to say, the propaganda power of these people is beyond the reach of the Nebula Marketing Department.

In the end, Samsung stole the limelight before the special press conference in China and held the press conference smoothly under the pressure of Nebula Technology.

In this situation, Liu Dalang has no choice. Nebula Technology's overall strength is indeed not enough, and it is a bit difficult to carry Samsung alone.

During the period when Nebula Technology made it clear that it wanted to compete with Samsung, other domestic manufacturers chose to develop in a wretched way, and none of them came out.

Only Meizu has done some warm-up work during this period and released a promotional poster for Meizu MX5 equipped with the same processor as Xingyu-Ning.

Judging from the poster, there is not much difference between Meizu MX5 and Liu Dalang's impression. If you have to pick a difference, it is that the screen-to-body ratio has been increased.

"I wonder if the price will increase?"

In addition to Meizu mx5, Meizu's Meizu has also been quite active during this period, and has been promoting it under the slogan of "Youth Quality".

Unfortunately, on the last day of March, all the heat was taken away by Samsung, and several Chinese executives boasted at the press conference.

It is claimed that Samsung S6 edge is the best mobile phone in the world that people can buy. Of course, the starting price is not cheap, 5088 for the 16GB version.

This price can already buy a top-end data version Xingyu Tablet. Some people think it is not worth it, while others buy it without hesitation.

After all, people who are willing to spend more than 5,000 to buy a mobile phone no longer care about cost performance. In their view, Samsung's brand value is more important.

The design of the curved screen is not bad. Most importantly, the screen of Samsung S6 edge has a very delicate look and feel. It will be a top-notch screen after three years.

But Nebula mobile phones also have advantages. First, 90hz high refresh rate, second, fast charging + battery life, and third, Nebula OS. As long as they have these, they are enough.

As for which one to choose, it all depends on marketing and consumers' personal wishes. The sales battle between Nebula Technology and Samsung has just begun.
