Reborn to dominate technology

Of course, after Gao Tong released the Snapdragon 920 processor for high-end flagships!

Gao Tong also announced that it would launch an 8nm process Snapdragon 920+ processor in the second half of this year!

Compared with the Snapdragon 920 released in the first half of next year, the Gao Tong Snapdragon 920+ has increased by about 20% in CPU performance and about 15% in GPU performance!

Compared to the Snapdragon 920 processor, the improvement of this processor is not that significant!

However, compared to this year's Snapdragon 910 processor, the improvement is still very large!

However, Lu Haifeng also saw from the release time of this processor that Samsung Electronics has not yet truly mastered the 8nm mass production process!

Otherwise, Gao Tong would not have chosen to put the most powerful processor released this time on sale in the second half of next year!

In addition to releasing these two high-end flagship processors, Gao Tong also released a mid-range processor and an entry-level processor!

This time, Gao Tong also abandoned the original 12nm manufacturing process for mid-range processors!

It adopted a more advanced 11nm manufacturing process. Compared with the previous generation, the CPU performance has increased by about 10%, and the GPU performance has also increased by about 15% compared with the previous generation!

Lu Haifeng can see from this release that Gao Tong still cannot get rid of its reputation as a "toothpaste company" (referring to incremental, minor upgrades).

Compared with mid-range processors, Gao Tong has completely squeezed out the toothpaste for entry-level processors this time!

Now, after so many years of hard work, Gao Tong has gradually realized!

The mobile phone demand of consumers in Daxia is still dominated by phones priced in the hundreds and thousands of yuan!

The original entry-level phones from Lan Chang (Vivo) and Lu Chang (Oppo) were dominated by Lian Fa Ke (MediaTek) processors!

Last year, they were also occupied by Huaxing Semiconductor, which made Gao Tong see the business opportunities for entry-level processors in Daxia!

In order to firmly occupy the entry-level processor market in Daxia, Gao Tong has completely squeezed out the performance of entry-level processors this time!

First of all, in terms of manufacturing process, it abandoned the original 14nm manufacturing process and quad-core architecture!

It adopted a more advanced 12nm manufacturing process and a more advanced octa-core architecture!

These changes have allowed the performance of low-end entry-level processors to achieve a qualitative leap!

According to Gao Tong's official statement, Gao Tong's entry-level processor has increased by about 65% in CPU performance and about 35% in GPU performance!

The progress of Gao Tong's entry-level processor this time fully illustrates Gao Tong's emphasis on the Daxia market!

Even when Gao Tong demonstrated this entry-level processor to several mobile phone manufacturers at the summit!

Gao Tong also calmly stated that the price of this processor is consistent with the price of last year's entry-level processor!

This also shows that Gao Tong wants to rely on this method to gain the favor of various mobile phone manufacturers in Daxia, so as to dominate the low-end processor market in Daxia!

The latest processor displayed by Gao Tong has made other domestic chip design manufacturers feel a sense of pressure!

Huaxing, HiSilicon, and Lianfa Ke are all well-known names in Daxia!

And Gao Tong obviously wants to grab the Daxia market from them this time!

After seeing the processor performance announced by Gao Tong, Lu Haifeng rushed to Huaxing Semiconductor non-stop!

Gao Tong has already produced the corresponding processors for next year, so Huaxing Semiconductor also needs to make some preparations!

"The company is now able to mass-produce processors using the 9nm manufacturing process!"

"The Qinglong 845 and Kunpeng AX4 processors use this technology!"

Zhang Yu took out the two latest flagship processors designed by Huaxing Semiconductor as soon as he saw Lu Haifeng's arrival!

Huaxing Semiconductor has always adopted a gradual approach to chip manufacturing process!

Step by step, the 10nm process is slowly developing towards the 7nm process!

Bay Bay TSMC and other first-class semiconductor manufacturers have always liked to break through the limits in technology!

When other semiconductor manufacturers do not have the technology like first-class semiconductor manufacturers, they will consider developing a slightly easier process!

Like in Lu Haifeng's era, when first-class semiconductor manufacturers broke through 5nm technology, domestic semiconductor manufacturers only made breakthroughs in the 9nm process!

In this period, Bay Bay TSMC is focusing on 7nm technology to seek breakthroughs!

Samsung chose the 8nm manufacturing process as a second best!

Huaxing Semiconductor's technology development has also been planned, and plans to break through the 9nm process this year, break through 8nm in the middle of next year, and officially break through 7nm at the end of next year.

The Kunpeng AX4 processor and the Qinglong 845 processor can be said to be Huaxing Semiconductor's main products next year!

The Qinglong 845 processor is relatively weaker, while the Kunpeng AX4 processor is obviously stronger!

This time, the Kunpeng AX4 processor is manufactured using the 9nm process, which is stronger than the previous generation Kunpeng A4 processor!

This processor is about 20% better than the previous generation in CPU performance, about 10% better in GPU performance, and has an additional core in the ISP!

It can be said that this processor has completely surpassed the Qinglong 840 processor, and is even comparable to Gao Tong's latest released Snapdragon 920+ processor!

The Qinglong 845 processor also uses the 9nm manufacturing process like the Kunpeng AX4 processor!

However, this processor adopts a brand-new architecture of one super core plus three medium cores and four small cores!

This also makes this processor about 25% better than the previous generation Qinglong 830 processor in CPU performance, and the GPU performance is directly increased to about 20%!

The comprehensive level can basically infinitely approach the recently released Snapdragon 920 processor!

But it is only limited to approaching, after all, the other party is using the 8nm manufacturing process, and the number of transistors that can be placed on the chip is much more than 9nm!

"How is our 8nm manufacturing process now?"

Lu Haifeng still very much hopes that Huaxing Semiconductor's processor can defeat Gao Tong!

And now if you want to defeat Gao Tong, you must first master the mass production technology of 8nm!

Zhang Yu didn't feel too strange when he heard Lu Haifeng's words!

After all, since the establishment of Huaxing Semiconductor, Gao Tong has always been regarded as its biggest enemy!

It is also a very normal thing for Lu Haifeng to want to compete with Gao Tong in terms of processors!

"Our 8nm manufacturing process is already being tried!"

"It's just that the yield rate is not very high. It is estimated that we will not be able to fully master the 8nm mass production process until after August next year!"

Huaxing Semiconductor naturally has a certain level in processor production!

And with global technical exchanges, it also has a certain understanding of the 8nm process!

Huaxing Semiconductor can basically master the 8nm process in the second half of next year!

And truly break through the 7nm manufacturing process at the end of next year or the beginning of the year after that!
