Chapter 481 Xiaomi is going to buy Kunpeng 702 chips? (asking for monthly tickets)
"Xingyi Technology's 64-bit XOS system has been launched and can be accessed on mobile phones at any time. Apple's 64-bit system will be fully launched in September."

"We are still developing 32-bit Android 4.3, which will be released in the second half of the year. And then there is 32-bit Android 4.4, which will be released at the end of the year. What's the point?"

An executive spoke first, and then others stood up to support him:
“落后太多，确实没了意义。我建议直接放弃32位的安卓4.3、安卓4.4的开发，全面转向64位的安卓5.0的开发。”

"I support it too."

But some people objected:

"No, Android 5.0 hasn't started yet. Even if everyone works on developing 5.0, it won't be ready in a short time!"

"That's right. Android 5.0 is 64-bit and needs to be developed from scratch. It's a huge workload and will take at least a year and a half. We can't possibly not update a single version for the next year and a half, right?"

"It is better not to update at all than to lag behind in updating. The best way is to focus on 64-bit."

"Bullshit! If we don't update for a year and a half, app vendors will think that we are Android's failure and will simply abandon Android."

"That's right. If app vendors and phone manufacturers abandon Android and choose XOS, that would be our tragedy!"

"Continuing to launch 32-bit Android 4.3 and Android 4.4 will only make us look weak and far behind Xingyi Technology and Apple."

……

Everyone was talking at the same time, and no one was willing to give in.

Google Chairman Eric felt like his brain was about to explode:
"All right!"

"Shut up, everyone!"

After a roar, both sides finally quieted down.

Eric took a deep breath and said, "Both of you have valid opinions."

"The development of 64-bit Android 5.0 has to be accelerated, but we will also have a new Android version in the next year and a half."

"In this way, 20% of the people will stay to continue developing Android 4.3 and release it in July. At the same time, we will give up Android 7 in December. The remaining 12% of the people will all develop Android 4.4 and strive to launch it in March next year!"

"This……"

For a moment, the whole house fell silent.

"What? Is there a problem?" Eric asked coldly.

"Chairman, 80% of the people were withdrawn at once, leaving only 20% to continue developing Android 4.3. It won't be released in July."

"October then!"

"Yes!"

"Chairman, even if we allocate 80% of our manpower to develop Android 5.0, it will not be ready by March next year. The earliest we can get the preview version is by the middle of next year, and the official launch will be by the end of next year."

"What!" Eric was furious. The pace was too slow.

It took two years for Android 5.0 to be officially launched!
too slow.

"Useless! Xingyi Technology's XOS system hasn't been used for that long, right?" Eric said in a deep voice.

The subordinate was helpless: "Chairman, it is easier for Xingyi Technology's XOS system to start from scratch, and only need to develop a 64-bit version. Our Android 5.0 not only needs to redevelop a 64-bit version, but also needs to be compatible with the 32-bit version. The workload is much greater than the XOS system."

"More importantly, the XOS system is just starting out, with simple functions, and is mainly used in the Xiaguo market. Our current Android 4.2 system is already very complicated, with many more functions than the XOS system, and it also has to be oriented towards the global market. Its complexity is several times more difficult than that of the XOS system!"

Eric understood, the tail is too big to be dropped!

Android is now too big to be eliminated!
The XOS system started from scratch and was light in weight. It only needed to meet the needs of Xiaguo users. It was very simple.

Android 5.0 system needs to be 64-bit and compatible with 32-bit. It also needs to perfectly adapt all the functions of the current Android 4.2 version to version 5.0, and it also needs to meet the different needs of different countries and regions around the world...

This is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It is for this reason that Apple released the 2013-bit IOS 9 in September 64.

Android only released a preview version, which was the PPT version, in July 2014, and it was not until November that Android 7 was officially released!

Subsequently, after the release of the Hongmeng distributed operating system, in addition to mobile phones and tablets, it can also be used in TVs, car computers, PCs, smart homes, wearable devices, and even servers.

But Android is not good enough, it is far behind, and it still needs a virtual machine to run programs, so its performance is poor.

Google knows that no matter how many times it updates or upgrades, Android will be useless and cannot catch up with the performance of Hongmeng.

Android's underlying technology from the 2020s became obsolete after just a few years, and after , it is somewhat out of date.

Therefore, Google also began to develop a new generation of system to replace Android, which is Fuchsia OS!

Compared to Android, Fuchsia OS is a huge improvement. Its underlying architecture, technology, and so on are all epoch-making upgrades.

But unfortunately, Android is too big to be eliminated because it has too many users.

Fuchsia OS also needs to build an ecosystem and adapt from scratch, just like the pure-blooded Hongmeng.

That's it.

App vendors don’t want to increase costs so much, and major brands don’t want to buy into it either.

After all, everyone is familiar with the Android system, and no one is willing to develop a new Fuchsia OS system, especially when the Fuchsia OS ecosystem is nowhere to be seen.

So, Fuchsia OS failed before it even succeeded.

Five or six years after its launch, Google just played with it on its own and no one paid any attention to it.

None of them is as well developed as Hongmeng, and none of them has more prospects than Hongmeng.

The reason is that Android is too powerful to be eliminated, so Fuchsia OS is dead even though it is still alive.

It is conceivable that by around 2030, the Hongmeng ecosystem will be mature and in its heyday.

Android is still using the kernel and underlying technology from more than 20 years ago, so it is just like the Symbian system, too backward and completely doomed.

This is exactly the same as Nokia in the past.

They all died because they couldn't get rid of their tails!

The emergence of the XOS system, which uses new technologies and epoch-making underlying architecture and concepts, will only exacerbate the demise of Android.

But unfortunately, Eric cannot see this at the moment, and neither can Google.

It's just a limited vision.

They think that the only powerful thing about the XOS system compared to Android is that it is 64-bit.

But they don’t know that 64-bit is just one aspect.

In fact, XOS's kernel, architecture, underlying technology, concepts, etc. are more than ten years ahead of Android.

In essence, the core technologies of XOS and Android's next-generation Fuchsia OS are products of the same era.

But Eric didn't understand and still only focused on 64 bits:
"Okay, then let's try to hurry it up, maybe by the third quarter of next year."

"Yes!"

"We will continue to release Android 4.3 in September this year, and Android 5.0 in the third quarter of next year! Sigh!"

Eric sighed, feeling weak.

He was very angry. The 32-bit version was working fine, but Xingyi Technology was sick and had to switch to 64-bit, which was 60% better than Android!

It would be fine if there was only one Xingyi Technology, XOS would just be a solo show and the impact would be limited.

Android, Apple, and Microsoft all stick to 32-bit, so it’s no big deal if we all fall behind.

As a result, Apple turned around and stabbed us in the back by releasing iOS 7 this year, which is also 64-bit!
This is embarrassing for Google.

Xingyi Technology and Apple are both 64-bit, but Android is still 32-bit, so that definitely won't work.

This has caused the rapidly developing Android to become completely passive.

Qualcomm is gloating over this!
I just think that system issues will not affect their chips.

However, the impact of this incident was only just beginning.

HTC headquarters.

The marketing director came to Wang Hong with a sullen face:
"Chairman, the 64-bit incident has caused a lot of controversy. Now many users have a special liking for 64-bit processors, and some even say they will only buy 64-bit processors when buying mobile phones. This has caused our HTC mobile phone sales to decline again."

"Only buy 64-bit processors?" Wang Hong became interested.

"Yes, they said that 32-bit processors are inherently flawed. Even if you upgrade to a 64-bit system, you won't be able to enjoy the benefits of 64-bit. You have to use 32-bit..."

Wang Hong smiled: "That's great."

"???" The subordinate was confused: "Chairman, our HTC phones all have 32-bit processors and they are not selling well, how come they are still so good?"

Wang Hong smiled slightly: "It's not just our HTC phones with 32-bit processors that are not selling well, but all brands of phones with 32-bit processors are not selling well. But the problem is that other brands don't have 64-bit processors, but HTC does!"

The marketing director's eyes lit up: "Yes, we bought 600 million Kunpeng 702 processors, and the new machine is being adapted. This month we can deliver 200 million. In addition to production and distribution, it will be released next month and will be available in early April!"

"That's right! By then, other brands of mobile phones will be unsalable, and HTC will be able to sell a lot of them with its 64-bit processor!"

Wang Hong said with a smile: "As for the 32-bit machines that are not selling well at the moment, it doesn't matter. We can stop production, reduce prices, and clear out inventory. When the Kunpeng 702 processor arrives, we will focus on producing new 64-bit machines."

"Yes!"

"By the way, let's spread the news and warm up the atmosphere."

"Okay." The marketing director responded, and then changed the subject: "Then will we still order Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 800?"

"Snapdragon 800?" Wang Hong laughed. "Order it for nothing. It's a 32-bit processor, and it's inherently disabled. Not to mention compared to Xingyi Technology's next generation, even compared to Xingyi Technology's previous generation Kunpeng 702, it's far behind."

"Yes, Kunpeng 702 is 64-bit. With the 64-bit bonus of the XOS system, it surpasses Snapdragon 800 by more than 30%!"

Wang Hong nodded: "So, cancel all orders for Snapdragon 800 and add orders for Kunpeng 702 later. The price is more affordable and it can also have a 64-bit bonus, which is great."

"That's right." The subordinate changed the subject and sighed:

"It's a pity that Google's 64-bit system is still a long way off. Even though our new HTC flagship has a 64-bit processor, it can't take advantage of the 64-bit system. It would be great if it could be equipped with the XOS system."

He does not mean that.

"Equipped with a 64-bit XOS system..." Wang Hong couldn't help but fall into deep thought:
"If this is true, then the Kunpeng 702 has improved by 60%, not only surpassing the Snapdragon 800, but it may even be able to compete with the next generation Snapdragon 805."

"But this is probably not easy, and the ecosystem of the XOS system is still in its infancy, so we should take our time."

Wang Hong sighed and made up her mind to build good relationships in advance and provide more support for the XOS system.

If it succeeds, HTC can equip it with the XOS system and directly unleash the benefits of 64-bit.

By then, it will not be much worse than Apple's IOS 7.

If we count on Android...not in the short term, the earliest will be the year after next.

She knows very well that Android is still developing the 32-bit Android 4.3!

If XOS hadn't come out, Android would have had no intention of going 64-bit.

After all, according to the normal progress of Android, Android 7 will be released in July, and Android 4.3 will be released at the end of the year... As for the 4.4-bit Android 64, we will talk about it at the end of next year...

In other words, if HTC waits for Android, it will take until 2015 to fully exploit the advantages of 64-bit. But if it waits for XOS, there may be hope this year!

Especially the Xiaguo market.

As for overseas, you still need Google services, the whole Google package.

Soon, two pieces of news shocked the entire Internet:
[64-bit is the future, HTC's new flagship will be equipped with a 64-bit processor Kunpeng 702 SOC, ready to go! ]

[HTC Chairman Wang Hong is very optimistic about the future of the XOS system and Xingyi Technology's ability to lead the 64-bit mobile operating system! ]

One stone caused a thousand waves.

These two pieces of news instantly caused an uproar:
"What? HTC's new flagship uses Kunpeng 702, becoming the first third-party brand to use Kunpeng processor!"

“这是好事啊，未来是64位的时代，骁龙800都是废柴。一旦上了64位，骁龙800都干不过有64位加成的鲲鹏702！”

"That's right, the XOS system has been improved by 60%. Kunpeng 702 can beat two generations with one generation! It beats Qualcomm's same-generation Snapdragon 600 and Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon 800. You can't deny it."

"More than two generations, what does a 60% improvement mean? Even if we don't talk about Qualcomm 800, even Qualcomm's next generation Snapdragon 805 can beat it!"

“Fuck, Kunpeng 702+64-bit system, can one generation beat three generations? No wonder HTC gave up Snapdragon 800 and chose Kunpeng 702!”

"One generation beats three generations, Kunpeng 702 is too powerful. When I buy a mobile phone in the future, I will buy Kunpeng 702 mobile phone."

"HTC is optimistic about the XOS system. So, will the XOS system be available on mobile phones? Will it be available to other brands like Android?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I bought an Xphone 2 and it has unrivaled performance right now. Once it is upgraded to the XOS system, it will be unrivaled for three generations and will be number one next year!"

“Xphone 2 is going to upgrade to XOS system? Is it true?”

"It's very likely. My cousin from a big factory said that many big factories are adapting."

"That's great. I look forward to it. I also look forward to the XOS upgrade for Xphone 2."

"No matter what, when you buy a mobile phone in the future, you have to buy one with a 64-bit processor!"

"Yes, 64-bit processors have 40%-60% room for growth, while 32-bit processors are lagging behind."

"As an old HTC fan, I look forward to HTC's new flagship Kunpeng 702!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Hong was in a good mood:

"HTC still has its fans, and the public is also looking forward to the new 64-bit phone. We will speed up the adaptation of the new Kunpeng 702 phone and strive to release it in early March and put it on the market in early April... No, we will strive to release it in early March and put it on the market by the end of March!"

During this period, HTC was almost starving to death and urgently needed to fight a turnaround battle.

"Yes!" The subordinate responded quickly.

Meizu headquarters.

"Mr. Huang, HTC has officially announced the Kunpeng 702. Should we also make an announcement?" Mr. Bai couldn't help but ask.

I thought Kunpeng 702 would only be invincible for 9 months, and Meizu MX3 would dominate for five months even if it was launched in June, until Snapdragon 800 was launched on a large scale, at which time it would become the second.

But now, with the release of XOS and the 64-bit feature, Kunpeng 702 has surpassed Qualcomm 800 in seconds!

Even next year's next-generation Snapdragon 805 will be able to compete.

Then Kunpeng 702’s invincible time would not be nine months, but one year and nine months, or even more than two years.

Meizu feels extremely fortunate!
Fortunately, we gave up Samsung's stupid dual quad-core processor and chose Kunpeng 702, otherwise how could MX3 have the chance to shine?

Old Huang grinned and said: "Officially announce it. Officially announce that MX3 will be equipped with Kunpeng 702 to impact the high-end market!"

Huang has thought clearly. MX2 was just released at the end of January and will soon be fully available on the market. It is priced at 1999 and is positioned as a mid-range phone.

The MX3 will be launched in June, equipped with Kunpeng 702, a 64-bit processor, and the price will also be raised, at least to 3000+!

Nowadays, except for Xingyi Technology, other domestic mobile phones that can be sold for 3000+ are considered high-end domestic mobile phones.

Even Huawei couldn't sell its products at the previous price of 2999, so it had to reduce the price to 2299, and later to 1999.

As for Xiaomi, the price has dropped from 1999 to 1799, 1599...

"Okay, then let's prepare for both. MX2 starts at 1999 and MX3 starts at 3499!" Lao Bai suggested.

"Look at HTC's price. If they sell it for more than 4500, our MX3 will sell for... 3999!" Lao Huang said in a deep voice.

Who doesn’t have a high-end dream?

Previously, the starting price of Meizu MX was 2999, but later the price of MX1999 was pulled back because of Xiaomi's 2.

Now we finally have the Kunpeng 702, the most powerful chip in the world, the only 64-bit flagship chip. With such a good opportunity, it would be a waste of resources if we don’t move towards the high-end.

More importantly, there are contract restrictions!
According to Wang Yi's requirements, Kunpeng 702, as a flagship chip, cannot be used in low-end mobile phones and cannot be sold at a low price.

Hence the MX3 3999!

HTC estimates 5000+!

In this way, it will not affect the sales of xphone 2.

都是鲲鹏702 SOC，若是xphone 2卖到5000+，HTC新旗舰5000+，MX3却卖1999！

Isn't this making trouble?

If Wang Yi does not agree, he will definitely ban Meizu immediately, cut off supplies to Meizu, and demand a huge amount of liquidated damages.

This is all written in the agreement!
Soon, Meizu also issued a statement:

[Meizu MX2 carries the Pterosaur 3000 baseband, is fully compatible with all networks, starts at 1999, and is officially launched! ]

[Meizu MX3 will be equipped with 64-bit Kunpeng 702 SOC, opening up a new 64-bit era and impacting high-end flagships! ]

Now, not only consumers are confused, but many mobile phone brands are also confused.

Xiaomi headquarters.

Lei Jun's mouth twitched: "HTC is going to launch a new flagship with Kunpeng 702 SOC, and Meizu MX3 will also be equipped with Kunpeng 702 SOC, and it will also enter the high-end market! It's a mess!"

Lao Li was also confused: "When did the two of them reach an agreement? They actually joined the Xingyi Semiconductor camp!"

"It's OK for HTC, which already mixes Qualcomm and Nvidia chips. It's normal for them to buy Kunpeng 702 now."

"But isn't Meizu an old customer of Samsung? It's also the only third-party customer. How could it abandon Samsung and switch to Xingyi Technology?"

Lei Jun sighed: "It's normal. Samsung's Orion 4412 quad-core is not excellent. Not to mention the same generation Kunpeng 702, it's not even as good as Kunpeng 700."

"Samsung's next generation dual quad-core is even more of a byword for idiocy, and is not as good as the 64-bit Kunpeng 702."

"Meizu didn't want to follow Samsung all the way, so it was sensible to switch to Xingyi Technology in time."

Lao Li nodded: "It seems that Meizu is determined to give up Samsung and choose Xingyi Technology. Even HTC is the same, all of them are choosing Xingyi Technology. Do we Xiaomi have to make a choice as well?"

Lei Jun took a deep breath and said, "The Xiaomi Mi 2 that we are about to release will be equipped with NVIDIA Tegra 3 and Xingyi Technology's Pterosaur 3000 baseband. The price won't be high, only 1799, and the sales volume is expected to be average. After all, the Meizu MX2 is similar to ours, both are full network compatible and support mobile 3G."

"The real winner will be the next generation Xiaomi Mi 3."

"The Xiaomi Mi 800 was originally planned to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 and Nvidia's Tegra , with dual versions to be released in September."

"Meizu MX3 will also be released in the second half of the year, about the same time."

"If the MX3 is equipped with Samsung's dual quad-core stupid chip, our Xiaomi 3 will definitely win."

"But now Meizu is not fair and has replaced it with the 64-bit Kunpeng 702. Then our Xiaomi will definitely lose!"

Lao Li also looked serious: "Yes, the 64-bit processor is too powerful. What I am most worried about is that Meizu not only uses Xingyi Technology's processor, but also carries Xingyi Technology's XOS system. If so, we are in big trouble."

"Yes, this is a big problem." Lei Jun was facing a great enemy:

"Even if Meizu doesn't use XOS, we've still lost. Most consumers want 64-bit processors when buying mobile phones now. Snapdragon 800 and Nvidia Tegra 4 are both 3-bit, so their sales will definitely not be good. The Meizu MX64 is equipped with the 702-bit Kunpeng , so it will definitely sell well."

"No wonder they dare to go high-end, that's why." Lao Li suddenly realized: "There is no other way, our Xiaomi 702 must also use Kunpeng !"

Lei Jun nodded and said, "Okay, let's contact Xingyi Technology and tell them that our Xiaomi Mi 702 is fully equipped with Kunpeng . Let's buy more."

"Yes." Lao Li responded: "What about Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800? And Nvidia's Tegra 4..."

"They are all 32-bit garbage, sold at a high price and released late. Consumers won't buy them. Whoever wants to buy them can buy them!" Lei Jun said disdainfully.

Similar scenes occur in many companies.

Right now, consumers are beginning to resist 32-bit processors, and major mobile phone manufacturers will naturally follow suit.

If you do business, you cannot go against consumers, otherwise you will surely fail.

Xingyi Technology.

Jian Ziyan approached Wang Yi and said, "Chairman, Xiaomi Technology wants to purchase a batch of Kunpeng 702 SOCs."

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

Sure enough, Lei Jun came.

"How much do they want?"

"Five million!"

Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but we have to make it clear to them that we need to sign an agreement and that it cannot be used on low-end phones priced below 3000 yuan."

"Okay." Jian Ziyan responded, "What if they can't accept it?"

Wang Yi thought about it and said, "That's fine. The Kunpeng 700 is also for sale. The price is lower, and it's priced in the yuan range."

At present, Meizu has the M2009 in 8, the M2011 in 9, and the MX in 2012, which have accumulated a lot of reputation and fans. There is still hope for the MX3 to move into the high-end market.

But not long after Xiaomi 1 was released, it was met with Xphone 1 and had dismal sales. It was not as popular as its previous release, nor did it have the foundation and fans of Meizu. It would be difficult for it to move into the high-end market again.

Therefore, Meizu can accept the price limit of Kunpeng 702 SOC 3000, but Xiaomi cannot.

The Kunpeng 700 SOC has a price limit of 2000, which is suitable for Xiaomi.

Sure enough, after receiving the reply from Xingyi Technology, Lei Jun changed his mind.

"What? Kunpeng 702 SOC can't be used in mobile phones below yuan?"

“And the supply will start in April?”

"Isn't this a joke?"

"Xiaomi 3000, selling for ?"

"You must be joking!"

"With such a ridiculous condition, does Xingyi Technology not intend to sell chips?"

Lao Li was helpless: "We can't help it. Xingyi Technology's own mobile phones are also selling well. Even if we don't buy Kunpeng 702 SOC, Xphone 2 is enough for us to digest it."

Rebus: "..."
