Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Among the three options, Mr. Lei unsurprisingly chose the second one.

For him, the cost of this option is the lowest. It is nothing more than spending some time to fly to country M.

If this road doesn't work, it won't take more than a few days to come back and think of other ways.

Moreover, he is also the best and most confident in his ability to run suppliers.

So early the next morning after the Warwick press conference, Mr. Lei got on an international flight and flew to Sundago.

As for the situation of the battle, he actually didn't have to wait any longer.

Without Warwick’s price cuts and Pingguo’s price cuts alone, Xiaomi 14 might still be able to sell for 4,699 yuan.

But now it is estimated that even the die-hard fans of rice fans will have to wait and see first, and then switch to the Warwick camp after their faith gradually disappears.

No matter whose fan you are, there must be a reason for following you.

What most of their Xiaomi fans value most is cost-effectiveness.

A Xiaomi that has lost its value for money, how much fan loyalty can it have left?

As expected by Mr. Lei, on his way to the Sundago, the one million P60 units that Warwick had just put on the shelves were sold out in just five minutes.

On the other hand, Xiaomi has been selling for more than a day and has not even sold out 100,000 units.

As for pinguo, they won’t officially start selling it until the end of the month.

And with this wave of price cuts and the loyal user group established over the years, even if it will be affected by Warwick to a certain extent, it will definitely not be fatally hit like Xiaomi.

After all, when Xiaomi sells for one or two thousand, Pingguo for five or six thousand can sell out. It can be seen that the impact of the price war on Pingguo is actually very limited. The brand image and status they have established in the hearts of fruit fans are too transcendent. .

It turned out that at the beginning of the month, Daqin Optics privately delivered a Qinguang No. 1 to Shanghai Silicon Industry, doubling the 5nm chip production capacity of Shanghai Silicon Industry. In addition, Leon Micro also agreed to help Huawei temporarily OEMing a batch of chips, the production capacity of Kirin 9000 has skyrocketed to 240,000 pieces per day.

Therefore, in just ten days, Warwick prepared two million units of goods, of which one million were used online and one million were used offline.

However, after all the 1 million sold online, only 200,000 units can be sold every day.

Different from the invisible panic buying online, many offline physical stores in Warwick are in full swing, with people queuing up to buy.

This scene happens every time a new Ping Guo is released.

But for Warwick, it was a grand occasion that had not happened for who knows how long...

"Brother, do you want a 20% discount coupon? It's only 500 yuan, and you can save more than 200 yuan on a new phone!"

From time to time, there are people holding a few newly redeemed coupons and walking through the queue to resell them.

"Hahaha, finally got it!"

Hearing the proud laughter from time to time from the front, the people behind became even more anxious.

And many of these users who grabbed the machine couldn't wait to take it apart on the spot, and then immediately experienced the P60's amazing camera in the envious eyes of the onlookers.

"Damn it, is this picture really so clear?"

If most photos taken with mobile phones are enlarged, unnatural grain noise will appear in the transition area between light and dark. This is a reflection of insufficient pixel quality and inaccurate color recognition.

However, whether it is the main camera or the secondary camera of the P60, in the pictures they shot casually, the pictures are very pure, sharp where they should be, smooth transitions where they should be, and there is almost no noise or color gaps that affect the look and feel.

Even if the photo is enlarged to the maximum size, the image quality is still clear and crisp, without making people feel blurry.

"Master Kang will not deceive me!"

"Da Qin Optics is so awesome!"

"Sure enough, the camera still needs Daqin Optics."

"Brother, can you sell this mobile phone? I can increase the price by 300!"

"I'll add five hundred!"

"I won't sell it! I'm not a scalper. I took a day off and deducted 200 yuan from my salary to get it. How can I be willing to sell it?"

"..."

——

Pengcheng, Haisi headquarters.

Dozens of senior chip design engineers from Warwick were sitting in the conference room, looking longingly at Yu Jingmin, deputy director of the technology department of Dahan Core, on the podium.

"...Next, I will play a demonstration video of the use of Fuxi software recorded by our engineers in advance. However, due to the limited time, we only performed a basic demonstration of some main functions. You still need more functions and usage methods. In the process of actual use, I will research my own ideas, and we also hope that everyone will communicate more in the future and share their experience and skills together."

Warwick engineers all nodded in agreement and understanding.

A good design software is important, but it is just a tool after all. It is actually the designer who determines the final design effect of the chip.

Just like PS, the same software function may produce completely different results in the hands of different people. Designers with inspired ideas can often use unexpected functions in unexpected situations to achieve unexpected results. Effect.

A more direct example is that the same knife, in the hands of a skilled carver, can carve out a ship with a complex structure out of walnuts, but ordinary people may not be able to carve even a ball.

Of course, this does not mean that tools are unimportant, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

In the next ten minutes of real-machine demonstration video, Dahan Chip engineers used a 24-pin Bluetooth chip with a relatively simple structure as a demonstration case, starting from the circuit structure design of a single transistor to the layout of the integrated circuit. A full demonstration was given.

Of course, no matter how simple the design of this chip is, it cannot be completed in ten minutes, so the video has been edited and only retains some key points of use.

The initial circuit structure design was nothing special except that the minimum support for 2nm transistor design and circuit simulation was a bit eye-catching as mentioned in the video. It was not much different from EDA.

The minimum transistor size of 2 nanometers is actually close to the physical limit of silicon atoms.

The diameter of a silicon atom is 0.22nm. Considering the distance between atoms, the theoretical limit of a 'silicon atom wall' is at least 0.5nm. Since a transistor is to be powered, it must at least be a U-shaped line connected together. , that is, to accommodate two 'silicon atom walls'.

Therefore, from the physical limit point of view, the minimum size of a silicon atom transistor is between 1.5-2nm, and the structure and function of a transistor of this size are also very simple. The design is not even slightly complicated, and the actual application value is not great.

Therefore, the current general transistors are above 10 nanometers, and then through multiple exposure and stacking processes, they can reach the so-called 7nm, 5nm or even 3nm.

If the size of a single transistor reaches the limit of 2nm in the future, and if you want to continue to break Moore's Law, you will have to change to a smaller molecule semiconductor material.

Therefore, in terms of circuit design and simulation of silicon atoms, Fuxi's software has indeed reached its limit and can be regarded as the top level in the world.

In the following video, Dahan Core engineers completely shocked all Warwick engineers with their back-end transistor layout operations.

This software can automatically complete the arrangement and layout of transistors after the engineer marks out the area and makes simple settings such as functional description and number of transistor layers!

"What's going on!?"

"Is it edited here?"

"Don't you listen to the explanation? Everyone talked about intelligent design."

"No wonder so many backends have to be cut..."

"Doesn't this software require a supercomputer to be affordable?"

"Not necessarily. If there is a powerful intelligent database, there is no need for supercomputing."

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the man who was listening with them.

In everyone's sight, Kang Chi also stood up: "It's useless to talk more. Let's experience it."

After saying that, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to He Boting: "It contains our cloud service software and 3,000 Fuxi registration codes. After successful registration, you can use it for free for one day, and you will have to top up later."

He Baiting nodded, took the USB flash drive and immediately handed it over to Haisi's technical supervisor, asking them to test it immediately.
