Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 386 How to stop telepathic communication?

Just as the backstage staff breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Dazui pointed a finger at the audience, and the backstage staff panicked again.

Fortunately, Lao Yu only said one sentence: "It's not about catching up, it's about surpassing."

There are no interjections...

The entire audience immediately erupted in celebration, and the chat room, which had been teasing Lao Yu, started playing new games.

"With Transsion and Huawei both achieving breakthroughs, Qualcomm won't be able to sleep tonight."

"And there's this Qualcomm product, the 801. What's so great about it? Turns out it's just a nobody."

"14 is 14, and eight cores are eight cores. Qualcomm can't catch up just by overclocking. I suggest that Qualcomm also use an eight-core design in its next generation."

"You upstairs...you're up to no good! If four cores are already this hot, what will eight cores be like, turning into roasted meat?"

"I don't know how DaMi and Chuanyin got together. It's one thing to keep copying Glory's strategy, but they also keep accusing them of stealing from him..."

I just want to ask, in order to be the first to launch the Snapdragon 800, why did they turn the Xiaomi Note 3 into a hand warmer?

A chip with a benchmark score of 12 and such a low temperature—where's your face?

Meanwhile, Lei Jun, who was watching the live stream, saw this long comment and instantly felt he needed a small pill.

Emergency? Emergency!

"Now the fruit industry is really trembling with fear. I wonder what will happen with the chips manufactured by Transsion?"

Meanwhile, at 9 a.m. San Diego time, as soon as Nasdaq opened, Qualcomm's stock price gapped down 6%.

Although traders had prepared in advance... the market panic exceeded their expectations, and sell orders poured in like an avalanche, causing the market to drop by 8% during the session.

By the time the market closed at 4 p.m., Qualcomm's stock price had fallen 7.2%, wiping out nearly $10 billion in market value.

Wall Street analysts released an emergency research report after the market closed. Although the title was alarming, it conveyed the same message.

While Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 801 both squeezed the full performance of 28nm, Transsion is playing with 14nm, completely crushing Qualcomm in terms of both performance and manufacturing process.

Moreover, what the other party said was correct. Transsion's Taishan 710 Enhanced Edition has already crushed Qualcomm, and their Fire Dragon 801 has not performed particularly well in the market.

Furthermore, the investment bank concluded by stating that they were not optimistic about Qualcomm's future, given the very uncertain prospects of the Snapdragon 800...

As Jacob watched the soaring stock price curve at Qualcomm headquarters, he felt as if he were seeing himself in freefall.

So even though the California sun is shining brightly outside the window, his heart is still as cold as an icebox.

He picked up the phone and called the head of the chip development team:

When will the Snapdragon 810 be released? Will its power consumption be controlled?

The other end of the phone fell into an unusual silence. After all, the Snapdragon 810 was designed with an 8-core architecture and was expected to use a 28nm process. There was news from TSMC that they had solved the 22nm problem and could use that process for trial production...

This was a huge relief for them!

"When will you answer my question?"

"Based on the current progress, we expect to complete tape-out and testing by Q2 of next year."

"I want to see the Fire Dragon 810 ready for mass production by Q1, or at the latest by March next year."

"impossible.

TSMC hasn't even started on 22nm yet. If they still use 28nm, the heat generated by an eight-core processor might exceed your expectations.

Q2 is already the most optimistic scenario.

"Then let's work overtime."

We can pay him to work overtime. If they really can't solve it, then we'll switch to Transsion's 22nm process, since they have a large and sufficient supply.

In short, the Fire Dragon 810 must be launched in the first quarter of next year.

After saying that, he hung up the phone and threw it aside in frustration.

After hanging up the phone, he walked back to the French windows. Taishan and Qilin had really given him a big surprise today.

He originally thought that the 14nm enhanced version of the Taishan 910 was their top-of-the-line technology... but it turned out to be just a 28nm chip that wasn't adapted for 14nm...

This has truly taught him a great lesson.

12 million points.

The development target for Fire Dragon 810 is 7, and with the added score from Entertainment Rabbit, it's about 9, barely surpassing the standard version of Taishan 920.

But it also has...

In other words, even if the Snapdragon 810 is released on time and meets the benchmark requirements, it can only match the standard version and will still lag behind the enhanced version by a whole generation.

He recalled the replay of the press conference he had watched, where Shen Fei stood on stage and said, "My benchmark score is higher than yours, and my power consumption is lower than yours."

Although the sentence was in Mandarin, he could understand it... It was a mockery from a competitor.

For their engineers, this statement will haunt them like a nightmare.

They're always entangled with Qualcomm; who knows how long this will last.

Meanwhile, in a conference room at the Ministry of Commerce, several people were gathered around a wooden round table, studying the materials for the Taishan 920 press conference.

They were presented with both design and final performance metrics.

"This chip's performance surpasses that of all commercially available chips in the United States."

As one person spoke, the others also coughed softly.

"It's not just close, it's surpassed."

The gap is widening.

There are no outsiders here, so everyone can speak freely.

"It's not just for commercial use; the Department of Defense's technology assessment team submitted a report this afternoon."

The Taishan 920 Enhanced Piece has reached the standards of their embedded chips in some key indicators, especially in its continuous computing power under low power conditions.

In other words, a civilian mobile phone chip outperformed our military-grade chip.

This terrible fact once again shocked everyone.

"Really? You mean it!"

"How could this be fake?"

A long silence fell over the conference room. It turned out that the enemy, Transmission, was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

Most importantly, they hadn't felt this humiliation in a long time—knowing they were in danger but being powerless to help.

"Is their background really that of a private company?"

"uncertain!

After all, we've been targeting them for so long, and all the publicly available information indicates that they are a private enterprise, yet they have caught the wave in certain key areas.

Furthermore, their security companies in Africa currently employ a total of 12 people. Do you think this is the level of security a mobile phone company should have?

"No matter who's behind him, we can't let this company continue to grow."

In less than 10 years, it has transformed from a small factory making counterfeit mobile phones into a global leader in chip performance.

"Give him another two years, how far can he go?"

"How can we stop it?"
