Chapter 439: Huang and Cook have a fight, Wang Yi kills Apple
"Today, we bring you a brand new generation, iPad 4!"

Cook paused and there was applause from the audience, but it was not enthusiastic enough.

This made Cook's heart skip a beat. Something was wrong!

Previous Apple conferences have never been like this, they are all highly anticipated.

He didn't even need to say a word. As soon as he stood on the stage, there was thunderous applause and the atmosphere was very lively.

But now?

There was so little applause, it was a dull moment!

You know, this is a live broadcast, with hundreds of millions of people watching around the world. How embarrassing is it to get so little applause?

I should have arranged an atmosphere group earlier!

In desperation, Cook could only repeat passionately: "A new iPad, a super iPad!"

This time, the applause was still sparse.

Cook's face turned completely dark.

There is not much expectation for the new generation of iPad.

After all, the previous Xingyi Tablet X1pro brought too many surprises!

Coupled with the failure of iPhone 5, Apple fans have less expectations for the new iPad.

Sure enough, users’ minds are fickle.

The new iPad used to be Sweetie, but now it’s Mrs. Niu!
Cook was furious and said angrily in his heart: "It's okay. The less you look forward to it now, the more you will be slapped in the face by the new iPad in a while!"

"What Xingyi tablet? Just crush it!"

Cook didn't think about it anymore and started to introduce:
“As a new generation of iPad, we have brought countless surprises and all-round improvements!”

“First of all, we have achieved a huge improvement in the lens module.”

"From the third generation's 120 million pixels at the front and 500 million pixels at the back, it has been upgraded to 200 million pixels at the front and 800 million pixels at the back, a comprehensive upgrade!"

After Cook finished speaking, he paused, waiting for the exclamations from the audience.

But the audience was dead silent, with some even booing.

The barrage has become even more interesting:
"200 million at the front and 800 million at the back? You call this a huge upgrade? The Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro costs million at the front and back!"

"Don't even mention the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro. Even the regular version of the Xingyi Tablet X1 is priced at 500 yuan before and 800 yuan after, which is much better than the new iPad!"

"Sure enough, the iPad is getting more and more useless, it's another flop."

Cook was a little embarrassed when he didn't hear the expected applause. He could only say angrily:
"The memory has also been upgraded, 50% more than the previous generation, and large games run more smoothly."

Unfortunately, there was still no applause, and the people in the front row couldn't help but complain:
"The previous generation 1G, upgraded by 50%, that is, 1.5G, is still not as good as the Xingyi tablet from half a year ago."

"That's right, the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro released half a year ago has 2G RAM. Apple is rubbish!"

After hearing these words, Cook's expression became even more embarrassed. He knew that there was no point in saying anything else, and he would be beaten by the Xingyi tablet, so he simply went all out:
"As we all know, the most important thing for a tablet is performance, or more precisely, GPU performance!"

“Whether it’s 1080P video decoding or playing large-scale games, it all depends on the GPU.”

"If the GPU performance is poor, the video will freeze and the game will not run properly, which will result in a very poor experience for us."

Everyone nodded. Cook was in a good mood. This was the right rhythm.

Just as he was about to bring up the Xingyi tablet as a negative example, he heard someone in the front row say, "That's right, the third generation of iPad is like this, it freezes when playing large games!"

"!!!" Cook's mouth twitched and the smile on his face froze.

"The iPhone 4s is also laggy and the battery life is not very good."

Cook's expression became even uglier: "..."

Fuck, that’s a slap in the face!

"Hahaha!" There was laughter all around.

Cook's face became even uglier, and he muttered in his heart, "Fuck! Are all the people in the front row fake Apple fans?"

"Anti-fan! Definitely an anti-fan!"

'Just as a hater, what front row did you buy?'

'Isn't this intentional trouble?'

But on the surface, Cook could only pretend not to hear it, and instead waved his hand:
"For this reason, the processor of the fourth generation of iPad has been fully upgraded and will be equipped with the new A6x!"

But unfortunately, there was still no applause.

库克只好继续道：“A6X和上一代的A5X一样，都是三星32纳米工艺。不同的是GPU核心从A5X的双核，提升到4核！性能也大幅度提升。”

"As for how much the improvement is?"

"100%!"

"That's right, the performance of the fourth generation iPad is twice as good as that of the third generation iPad!"

"It can be said that this is the most powerful tablet chip, with no rivals."

"Wow!"

This time, there was thunderous applause, and many depressed Apple fans were excited.

It’s not easy. For a whole year, Apple was beaten by the Xingyi mobile phones and Xingyi tablets. It was not until the fourth generation of iPad that it finally won back a game in chips!

Cook was in a good mood, completely relieved, and felt that the previous atmosphere had returned.

This is how Apple should be treated!

He continued to add decisively: "Nowadays, many users are hesitant when buying tablets, whether to buy Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro or iPad th Generation!"

"Today, I'll give you the answer!"

Cook waved his hand and the PPT picture appeared on the big screen.

It is the GPU performance ranking.

I saw that the A4X of iPad 6th generation ranked first, far ahead.

The second place is the A5x of the third generation iPad.

The third place is the A6 of the second generation iPhone.

The fourth place is APQ 2 of xphone 8064!

……

The ninth place is the NVIDIA tegra 1 of the Xingyi Tablet X3pro.

……

As soon as this picture came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Cook smiled and said: "As you can see, our A6X is so powerful. It is not only twice the performance of the previous generation A5X, but also 8064 times the performance of APQ 2.5 and five times the performance of NVIDIA's tegra 3!"

"Wow!" Thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue.

No one expected the performance to be so poor.

I didn't expect the A6X to be so terrifying, it's incredible.

Cook continued: "The performance difference is five times. Should we choose the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro or the iPad th Generation? Do you have a clear idea?"

"Perhaps the X1 pro tablet looks better and has some advantages in other aspects, but performance is the most important thing. With a five-fold performance gap, smart people will not lose sight of the main goal."

Afterwards, Cook announced the price and released the 7.9-inch iPad mini!

However, the performance is quite poor. The dual-core A5 processor of iPhone 4s has performance similar to Qualcomm's dual-core processor.

"The fourth generation of iPad will be launched in November. It has five times the performance difference. Welcome everyone to buy the fourth generation of iPad!"

The press conference ended with thunderous applause and lively comments:

"Although the Xingyi tablet is good, the five-fold performance is even better."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, this time I choose the iPad 4th generation."

"The performance gap is five times, the new iPad is a performance monster! It's terrifying."

“Once it goes on sale, I have to buy it. I don’t know when it will be available in China!”

……

Watching this scene, Cook was in a good mood, and all the previous gloom disappeared:
“Sure enough, with a performance gap of five times, the Xingyi tablet is doomed to fail.

Wang Yi knew nothing about this.

Tonight we celebrated the success of the three teams of Mr. Hu, Mr. Williams and Mr. Pang Liguo, and Wang Yi, as the boss, got drunk.

He had been taken home by Lin Shu a long time ago, and fell asleep happily holding the little rich woman in his arms.

But the public opinion on the Internet has caused a huge uproar.

Apple fans, who had always been beaten, felt that they could finally hold their heads high and started surfing the Internet, promoting the power of the fourth-generation iPad.

Even the GPU performance rankings announced by Cook were posted:

"The GPU performance of A6X is unmatched, 8064 times that of Qualcomm APQ 2.5 and five times that of NVIDIA's tegra 3!"

"The fourth generation iPad beats the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro by five times!"

Of course, many people still expressed doubts:

"Five times difference? Really? That's impossible, right? Can the A6X's GPU be that powerful?"

"I think it's fake. I believe that A6X is twice as fast as tegra 3, but I don't believe that APQ 8064 is 2.5 times as fast as tegra 8064. As we all know, APQ 3 is twice as fast as tegra 6, and A3X is definitely not five times as fast as tegra !"

"What's so fake about this? Would Cook talk nonsense at an Apple press conference?"

"How can it not be nonsense? Have you forgotten that half a year ago, Cook said that the GPU of A5X is four times more powerful than NVIDIA's Tegra 3? But after a test, it is only 40% ahead. The CPU is even beaten by NVIDIA Tegra 3 by half."

"I remember now, this happened. Old Huang was so angry that he almost invited Cook to a cage duel!"

"Cook is just talking nonsense. He boasted that the GPU lead was 40% and quadrupled, but he didn't mention the CPU lag behind by 100% at all."

"Yes, this is an apples-to-apples comparison. I guess it's the same this time too. It's said to be five times, but it's probably only 50% ahead, at most 100%! The CPU is still the old dual-core, still only half the power of NVIDIA's tegra 3."

"But to be honest, even if there is not a five-fold difference, but only a one-fold difference, it is still powerful enough. The GPU of NVIDIA's Tegra 3 is indeed inferior. I plan to buy the fourth generation iPad."

"So what if the GPU is powerful? The iPad 1th generation is beaten by the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro in other aspects, so I'd better buy the Xingyi Tablet X Pro."

……

Wang Yi slept soundly all night, but the public opinion online was very controversial.

Star fans and Apple fans each took sides and engaged in a crazy fight.

The next day, Wang Yi came to Xingyi Technology Park.

Zhu Changlin immediately came up to him and said, "Chairman, the fourth generation of iPad was released last night, and that shameless Cook said that the GPU performance is five times that of ours!"

Wang Yi's mouth twitched: "..."

blow!
You really know how to brag!

The A6X's GPU is powerful, but it's about the same as the APQ 8064's GPU, or slightly more powerful, that's all.

At most, it is about twice that of NVIDIA's Tegra 3.

Want more?

Unless compared with HTC One X. The same NVIDIA Integration 3, in the hands of Xingyi Technology, has good heat dissipation and can play 100% performance.

But in the hands of HTC, the temperature is too high, the core is locked and the frequency is reduced, so it can only perform at 50 points.

This means that the GPU of Apple's A6X is four times that of HTC's Integra 3.

But at Xingyi Technology, it’s at most twice as much.

Apple actually boasted five times?
I can only say it's shameless.

"Chairman, do you want to fight back?" Zhu Changlin was also very angry: "Apple is going too far."

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Let Huang clean up his chips. But since Apple has made a move, we have to show our support. Let's release the news in a few days, saying that we will release a super flagship tablet next month!"

The Xingyi Tablet X702 Ultra equipped with Kunpeng 1 has a huge performance improvement. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a new generation. It will naturally be released together with the Kunpeng 702 chip!
"Chairman, when is our release date?"

Wang Yi smiled: "Three days before the iPad 4th generation was released!"

"That's great!" Zhu Changlin instantly understood Wang Yi's plan.

Isn't Apple rampant?
Then use precise sniping!

Except for special circumstances, Xingyi Technology's products are launched on the market and sold on the same day.

ipad 4代11月24号欧美开售，那星逸平板X1 Ultra就21号发布+开售！
Direct interception, precise kill!

Compared with the Xingyi Tablet X1 Pro, the iPad has no other advantages except that its GPU performance is twice as strong.

Once the Xingyi Tablet X1 Ultra is released, the GPU performance will soar by double, directly catching up with the A6X. By then, the only advantage of the fourth generation iPad will be gone, and the result can be imagined!

What Wang Yi wants is a precise and decisive kill.

When Apple was at its most proud, it was dealt a heavy blow, leaving it powerless to recover!
"Chairman, I've been looking forward to that day!" Zhu Changlin's eyes were burning.

Apple is going too far!

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "Don't worry, mass-produce Kunpeng 702 first, and optimize and adapt the system at the same time!"

"Don't worry, Chairman. The system department is already working overtime to adapt the system. There is still a month left, which is enough time."

"Very good!" Wang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

It takes other companies two months to adapt a new chip and they all have negative optimization.

But Xingyi Technology has a large number of soldiers and generals, and can develop chips, not to mention adapting them, which is child's play and will not take more than a month.

What's more, it is a chip developed by ourselves, so we are naturally familiar with it and it is easier to adapt it.

This is also the reason why A6x is so powerful. Apple’s own chip is naturally tuned to perfection.

But HTC is in such a bad situation. The NVIDIA Integration 3 it purchased was completely inoperable and not even half of its performance could be brought into play.

This is why it is said that the A6x GPU performance is five times that of NVIDIA's Integration 3, which is completely comparable to the HTC One X.

Wang Yi ignored Apple's five-fold lead, but Huang couldn't sit still!

Directly attacking Apple and Cook:
[Apple's Cook, a wicked child, falsified parameters and deceived users! ]

[The A6X GPU is at most slightly more powerful than the tegra 3, never more than twice, let alone five times! ]

[The CPU of A6X is twice as bad as that of Integra 3, but Apple didn't mention it. The dual-core processor is really lame! ]

【Cook is a liar, deceiving users. Last time, the data of iPad 3 was faked, saying that it had four times the performance of Xingyi Tablet. As a result, it was beaten by Xingyi Tablet and had dismal sales. It had to launch the fourth generation to save the market after half a year on the market. But unfortunately, the familiar formula and familiar tricks, iPad 4 is still garbage, and it will still be beaten by Xingyi Tablet. 】

[There is also the so-called iPad mini, which is just a copy of the 8-inch Xingyi Tablet X1, which has high sales. Apple followed suit and launched a 7.9-inch iPad mini. Its configuration and experience are not as good as the Xingyi Tablet X1 that was launched half a year ago. ]

[Crap Apple, they can’t even copy! ]

……

As soon as these remarks came out, they quickly became a hot topic, causing an uproar around the world:
"Hahaha, Old Huang is amazing. He's going all out like this. It looks like he's really angry."

“No wonder they only released a new model in half a year. It turns out that the third generation was outperformed by the Xingyi tablet, and the sales were dismal, so they had to release the fourth generation!”

"The iPad mini is actually a copy of the Xingyi Tablet X1! It's true, but the configuration is far inferior to the X1. I ordered the X1 directly."

"That's right. The mini's appearance, lens, configuration, and battery are all inferior to the X1, and the price is more expensive than the X1."

"Who would buy a mini then? Isn't the X1 good enough?"

"Old Huang has exposed Cook's true colors. Cook must be so angry that he will vomit blood."

……

Apple headquarters.

Cook was so angry that his body was shaking:

"Old Huang is a mad dog. Before Wang Yi could say anything, he jumped out and started biting people."

The vice president understood very well: "There is no other way. If the A6x is really five times more powerful than NVIDIA's Tegra 3, then no one will buy NVIDIA's Tegra 5."

"But he can't expose our past. If he says that, everyone will know that the iPad 3rd generation is a failure. With the total failure of the Xingyi tablet, how can we sell the third generation in the future?"

"They said the iPad mini is a small-screen tablet that was copied from the Xingyi Tablet X1. They can't even copy it. How can we sell our mini?"

"Fuck, Old Huang deserves to die!"

"Even if mini is indeed following the X1, it cannot be said to be plagiarism. Doesn't he understand the meaning of reference?"

"I can't stand it anymore, I have to fight back!"

Cook got angrier and angrier, and responded decisively:
[Mr. Huang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. As we all know, NVIDIA's tegra 3 is garbage, far behind A6X. ]

[The iPad mini is a new product developed by us, and there is no plagiarism. ]

Huang was not to be outdone: "Is the Integra 3 rubbish? Your A5X, A6, and A6x are inherited dual-core CPUs. The Integra 3 is twice as powerful as yours. You are rubbish, inherited rubbish!"

[The dual-core CPU is still sold at such a high price, and it is also advertised as having powerful performance. It is simply harvesting users. Don’t give up! ]

[It's 2012, the era of quad-core, and you're still selling dual-core junk at high prices, taking advantage of Apple users like fools. It's really laughable.]

Huang's remarks directly denied the CPUs of several Apple processors.

Cook was very angry when he said that in the era of quad-core, dual-core processors are rubbish and are sold at high prices.

Many Apple fans are not calm:
"Yeah, I spent four or five thousand and just bought a dual-core? Is there something wrong with my brain?"

"Xingyi Technology's dual-core xphone 1 has dropped to more than 2000 yuan, but Apple is still selling it for or yuan. Do you really think we Apple fans are being wronged?"

"The new flagships of Xingyi Technology, HTC, and Samsung all have quad-core CPUs, but Apple still has dual-core CPUs. What does that mean? We Apple fans don't deserve quad-core CPUs?"

"Dual-core is really too much, the A6X should have quad-core. Forget it, I'd better buy the Xingyi Tablet X1pro."

Looking at this, Cook was furious.

Old Huang just avoids the important issues.

Not to mention the GPU is not as good, but just making a fuss about Apple's dual-core CPU being garbage.

The issue of dual-core CPU is shaking the foundation of Apple!

After all, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad rd and th generations, and mini are all dual-core!
If Apple fans resist dual-core, Apple will be in big trouble.

In anger, Cook fought back decisively...

Old Huang is not to be outdone...

In the following days, the two chairmen started to criticize each other fiercely and refused to give in to each other.

Wang Yi watched it with great interest.

At first it was just a war of words, but after all the fighting, no one gained the upper hand, and instead it led to dismal sales of Apple's iPhone 5 and iPad rd generation.

The number of Nvidia's tegra 3 customers has also decreased significantly.

It can be said that both sides suffer losses.

This situation made both Cook and Huang very angry, and they both believed that the other was responsible.

Besides, there was no winner in the quarrel, so the two sides ended up having a fight!
[Cook, let's fight! Cage fight, sign a waiver!]

[Old Huang, I’m afraid of you? Come on! ]

[Set a time. If you are a man, don’t be timid! ]

[Then I really admire your courage, be careful or I will explode you...]

……

"What a familiar scene!" Wang Yi laughed dumbly: "Big guys in the tech circle all like this kind of tune? They always challenge each other to fight? Or even fight in a cage!"

In their previous lives, Musk and Zuckerberg were fighting each other, wanting to duel in a cage and sign a life and death waiver agreement.

I can only say I know how to play!
Also, during the mobile phone war, Lei Jun and Zhou Hongyi also had a fight in the park...

All I can say is that men stay young until they die. If you can’t achieve anything by tearing someone apart, then just use force!
Wang Yi no longer paid attention to these, but came to the Management Committee:
"Director Qin, I'm going to give the Imperial Capital a great gift!"

"???"

Director Qin was startled, then his eyebrows lit up with joy: "What are you going to do? No, you have some good news!"

Wang Yi never comes to the temple unless he has something to ask for.

Every time I come here, it’s a big deal, but fortunately, it’s all big things that can be accomplished.

Wang Yi took out Mr. Hu's feasibility report and said, "Director Qin, the current Xingyi wafer factory is too small, with a monthly production capacity of only 2.5 pieces. There is an empty lot on the west side, which has not yet been planned. I want to expand this empty lot into the second phase of Xingyi wafer factory. In this way, the current monthly production capacity of Xingyi wafer factory will reach 5 pieces in the future!"

Director Qin took a quick look and nodded repeatedly, "No problem! Absolutely no problem. How can a monthly production capacity of only 7.5 be enough? It's just land, right? Give you more land, and the land further west will be given to you. Then double the capacity and make the monthly production capacity pieces!"

Wang Yi was speechless for a moment: "..."

I thought I could just double the size, but Director Qin gave me an extra piece of land and wanted to double the size.

By then, Xingyi Wafer Factory's original monthly production capacity of 2.5 pieces will directly soar to 7.5 pieces!

It is considered one of the top wafer fabs in the world.

There is no way, what the country attaches the most importance to at the moment is integrated circuits!
Xingyi Technology has achieved a perfect closed loop from R&D and design to chip mass production and then to chip commercialization, and has a bright future.

The people in the imperial capital were eager for Wang Yi to invest more and build more factories.

There is no way, Xiaguo’s wafer factory is in short supply.

Especially logic chip fabs using 40nm process are in great shortage.

At present, there is only one small wafer factory in mainland China, Xingyi Wafer Factory, which can produce 2.5 wafers. There is no other one!

Even the wafer fabs invested in by companies such as Micron in the mainland are mostly 65-nanometer and 55-nanometer memory chip fabs.

There is not a single 40nm logic fab!
We can only rely on Xingyi Technology, and we wish Xingyi Technology would invest more and build more factories.

Seeing that Wang Yi did not agree directly, Director Qin spoke decisively: "Don't worry, Director Wang, it's still the old policy. I will apply for the infrastructure, and the second and third phases of the new factory buildings will be built by the Imperial Capital. You just wait to receive them."

"Okay!" Wang Yi agreed directly.

There is no reason not to invest billions of dollars in infrastructure for free.

Director Qin was also in a good mood. A few billion could be exchanged for tens of billions of follow-up investment from Xingyi Technology, and tens of billions of tax revenue each year. It was definitely a good deal!

After all, what was given was just the infrastructure. Wang Yi had to purchase the subsequent production lines and various equipment himself, which would cost at least tens of billions.

When the first wafer factory is expanded to a monthly production capacity of 7.5 wafers, plus the second wafer factory's monthly production capacity of 10 wafers, the capital's integrated circuit industry will explode!
"Director Qin, the current production capacity gap of Xingyi Fab is quite large. We hope to speed up the expansion!"

Director Qin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we will prioritize the project, mobilize a large number of construction resources, and advance it according to the strategic project. We will advance multiple factories in the second and third phases simultaneously and ensure that it will be delivered in more than half a year!"
