Chapter 260 There is a problem with their EDA software
"Well, as a review anchor, I still have to fulfill my duties, even though I don't know what the Umbrella Civil War will produce..."
Yaozi made a joke, and then started turning on five machines. Different logos flashed, and there was no doubt that Red Queen - V1.0plus was the fastest, followed by Fruit 6, then LG, then 4-star, and finally the regular version of Red Queen.
To be honest, this scared Yaozi a little.
Although judging from the parameters, Chip White Queen is the strongest, but I didn’t expect that it would surpass Fruit in actual operation!
system?
Actually, that shouldn't be the case. Although there are optimizations on Umbrella's mobile phone system, it is not purely a speed comparison. Instead, it is because a lot of things have been added to complement the Red Queen's functions. In theory, the system is not that streamlined yet.
You can see the difference by looking at the bottom of the regular version.
I never thought of this when they were all newly installed!
You should know that the IOS system is already famous.
"I really didn't expect this. You can see that the configurations of Four Stars and LG are similar to Red Queen, except for the chips. At present, the 810 is indeed much better than the Exynos 5430, and the 801 is indeed just the previous generation of chip technology. In terms of price, Four Stars and LG are also cheaper than Red Queen, but the Red Queen system is more adapted to intelligent AI, which is a huge advantage."
As a review blogger, Yaozi is relatively fair and impartial. What is is what is is. At present, the price-performance ratio of LG and four-star flagship phones is indeed higher than that of the ordinary version of Red Queen.
There are indeed advantages on the chip!
"The Snapdragon 810 used by LG is Qualcomm's latest generation chip, the first 64-bit quad-core mobile phone chip, while Samsung's Exynos 5430 chip is also a chip based on the ARMv7 architecture, with a 32nm20nm hybrid process. Although it is an octa-core chip, its overall performance is still inferior to the 810."
Afterwards, Yaozi began to test the use of various software, such as "Starry Sky World" to test the performance of mobile phones!
All effects turned up to maximum!
"What surprised me the most this time was the Plus version. I never thought it could surpass the iPhone 6. The iPhone 6's A8 processor was designed by them and is quite compatible with the iOS system. But the chip 'White Queen' designed by Umbrella could actually surpass it ! This is indeed a miracle! Some people mocked Umbrella before, saying that they were too arrogant for not even doing the tape-out. Now it seems that they have enough confidence in themselves!
"Perhaps that's why they use 801 in their regular version, which can better highlight the performance advantages of the plus version."
After saying that, he began to compare several other mobile phones.
"As you can see, Fruit is still Fruit, and it does have a clear advantage over the other two. LG and Four Star are indeed slightly stronger than the regular version of Red Queen, but judging from the game performance, the difference is not that big. Huh? Did I remember it wrong?"
Yaozi was suddenly a little confused. Since the phones were so similar, he just followed the order at the beginning and didn't move.
But why is it that when running the game now, it seems that the fluency of the regular version of Red Queen mobile phone has surpassed that of the four-star and LG?
This directly made Yaozi black people question.
And in the live broadcast room, there was also a group of people typing '666'.
"Who stole my memory?"
"What's going on? I also feel like some of my memory is messed up."
"Surprise! Anchor, take a look."
It was not until Yaozi quit that I found out that the running smoothness of the mobile games on Four Stars and LG was indeed lower than that of the ordinary version of Red Queen mobile phone!
"What's going on? I remember when the game first started, LG and four stars were better."
"Yeah, that shouldn't be the case. Snapdragon 810 is the first 64-bit quad-core mobile phone chip. It's normal that it can't compare to Baihou. It's also a 64-bit quad-core, but 801 is Qualcomm's previous generation product..."
But as soon as Yaozi picked up the phone, he immediately knew the reason, and then sighed at the camera.
"Brothers, the case has been solved."
As he spoke, he rummaged through the drawers and found a thermometer, then pointed it at several mobile phones.
After running for so long, and running the game "Star World" with all special effects turned on, they are still a little hot, but three of them are within the detection range of the thermometer.
Among them, the fruit machine has the lowest temperature. After all, the A8 processor is dual-core, which is indeed slightly inferior to the white one, but it is completely compensated in performance.
But the temperature of this six-star phone has already turned red. Exynos 5430 is an octa-core chip. Its performance should exceed 801 at normal temperature, but it shows a significant decline after the temperature rises.
However, the LG flagship phone equipped with Snapdragon 810 caused the temperature gun to explode and could not measure anything!
"Fuck!"
"So hot?"
"No wonder! The performance of the chip will be affected at high temperatures, right?"
"The heat dissipation is so bad?"
"Six Star and LG are also big manufacturers, this shouldn't happen."
"It's hard to say about the Snapdragon 810 chip, after all, it's not from the same factory, but the Snapdragon 810 is the next generation of the Snapdragon 801, so it shouldn't be like this."
"Well, have you ever thought about why the regular version of Umbrella doesn't use the 810 chip? Is it really to save money?"
“…”
"Fuck!"
“Case solved!”
Then Yaozi’s review video quickly spread across the entire Internet.
Those who were bearish on Umbrella chips before all shut up and deleted their posts. They never expected Umbrella to be so powerful, and they never expected Qualcomm to be so weak!
This video was even quickly uploaded to the Internet, where it also caused a heated discussion.
Afterwards, many mobile phone buyers also posted photos of their own "thermometer guns".
Confirmed.
The temperature of Snapdragon 810 is abnormally high!
It's not just LG's phones, other phones equipped with Snapdragon 810 are like this. There's something wrong with the chip!
It is actually acceptable for the four-star Exynos 5430 to have this problem, after all, it has eight cores and is manufactured by a different manufacturer.
But the Snapdragon 810 and 801, both designed by Qualcomm, have been cursed by this reversal.
Umbrella was right to use the 801 instead of the 810!
Expensive and not easy to use!
Give me your money back!
Once the rhythm was picked up, Qualcomm was instantly slapped in the face.
The sudden surge in popularity has caused headaches for other manufacturers.
In fact, the performance of Snapdragon 810 is obviously better in most cases. After all, it is the first 64-bit quad-core processor. Just don't run those configuration-intensive software.
But then again, why would I use this flagship chip if I'm not running those games?
Vicious loop, no solution!
Some manufacturers are preparing to temporarily replace chips in new phones.
But the chip production capacity is here.
What to change?
Four Stars didn't even want their own chips anymore, and set their sights directly on the 'White Queen'. Currently, Umbrella and Four Stars have a good relationship, so naturally they don't mind selling it directly. However, the requirement is that you give me more of the production capacity so that I can increase shipments.
This is of course no problem for a four-star hotel.
Big Four even abandoned its own chips, and LG followed suit.
After all, Umbrella and LG also have cooperation, and it has just acquired LG's subsidiary in the battery field, so it did not refuse.
Originally, chips are also foundries. You just need to contact the wafer factory to free up production capacity and they will sell them to you!
This is certainly not a big problem for LG.
Because Qualcomm has now reduced the production of 810, and with various order cancellations, it is not known when Qualcomm's existing Snapdragon 810 will be used. The temporary increase in production of 801 and others cannot keep up, and the wafer fab is not something you can control at will.
After all, 801 is the previous generation chip! It is not so profitable!
The ceded production capacity was naturally taken over by Umbrella.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you are not allowed to do so. Just continue to make your 810. Its reputation is already bad. It depends on how much you want to stock up!
It can be said that after this wave of losses, Umbrella’s mobile phone production capacity was immediately greatly improved.
Fortunately, there are still customers for Snapdragon 810. As soon as domestic manufacturers saw a bargain, they immediately purchased a large number of 810s.
Why would ordinary users care about these? Anyway, the 810 is the next generation of the 801, and it is also a 64-bit quad-core chip. The running score is also very high before it gets hot, and the panel data is absolutely top-notch. Isn't this a perfect match for those who pursue cost-effectiveness?
The key is that Qualcomm is now also eager to find a buyer. When the two sides come together, it’s simply perfect!
After all, 'White Queen' is currently only suitable for high-end flagship phones, and if the price is not right, it is really difficult to choose.
The mid- and low-end mobile phone market is always the largest...
…
"White Queen..."
Qualcomm was silently testing the performance of Baihou's chip, and was feeling a little nervous at this time.
There are too many components involved in chips, and various problems may arise during manufacturing, so it is normal for small bugs or deficiencies to appear inside the chip itself.
That's why we need to tape out the chip, and we need to take it out and check it first, and then make sure there is no problem and repair it.
But Umbrella actually started mass production directly and succeeded!
"It runs very smoothly, and feels like there are no bugs at all. They haven't even taped out the chip yet? How did they do that?"
"No software can achieve this level. Software is software, and physical objects are physical objects."
Today's industrial software is very powerful, extremely powerful, and has comprehensive functions related to chip design. One of the big reasons for this is that the software manufacturers themselves will cooperate with major wafer fabs in real time.
It can be said that EDA software manufacturers will complete the connection with chip factories and wafer fabs, connect the upstream and downstream to obtain various first-hand data. Even the demand for relevant EDA talents is huge. It is a field with huge initial investment, little return and very high threshold.
Even the training cycle of talents takes ten years!
It can be said that it is nothing for one person to develop some traditional software, but industrial software itself is not something that can be handled by a few people, as the design aspects are too many and too broad.
Did Umbrella create EDA on its own?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Go and connect with the software company to see what's going on."
Qualcomm feels the power of the Baihou chip, but also feels a bit powerless.
Is it much better? Actually not. It is also made with 20nm process and ARM's 64-bit public architecture, but the design is too "perfect". It can be said to be the limit that can be achieved under the current process and architecture!
At first, I was prepared to laugh at their jokes.
It turns out that the clown is actually himself...
…
“The three EDA giants have all sent us inquiry letters, but their tone was relatively polite.”
Liu Xiaoke took on a drama with a female lead. When Wang Yizheng and Qian Yayan came to visit the set, Lin Shiqin brought the news from there.
In fact, it is normal to send an inquiry. It can be said that Lin Shiqin disassembled all the EDA software on the market and tinkered with it herself.
Various parameters and first-line data are directly inserted into the database and can be used directly.
Considering Lin Shiqin's performance, it is only natural for her to surpass her master!
That’s why Baihou Chip dared to go into mass production directly.
Of course, Umbrella still spent money on the software itself, and spent a lot of money, and acquired all software services from all manufacturers.
It’s just that the manufacturer feels that Umbrella seems to have gone beyond the scope!
They know their software can't do this...
"I just told them we were lucky. We didn't sell EDA software, but we bought theirs. They were worried about the hammer."
In fact, Umbrella does have the ability to enter the EDA field now, but after all, Lin Shiqin dismantled their software and pieced it together, so she didn't go around it deliberately.
Besides, the sea city has not been built yet , so it is better to be a little more stable.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. After all, the four-star and LG sides have given us a lot in return, and there are high taxes. It is better to spend some money to reduce trouble.
God knows how much tension was put on our shoulders when this chip design capability came out.
This is while their own lithography machines and wafer fabs are still being assembled and have not yet been put into production...
"Okay, as long as you know the boss's attitude, we will handle the rest ourselves."
"Okay, don't make it too bloody."
"Oh, that's disgusting. I'm a girl and I hate blood the most."
Lin Shiqin's coquettish voice left Wang Yi speechless.
At this time, Liu Xiaoke also rushed out from the crew, wearing a court dress, which added a sense of luxury and dignity to her.
The bulging shoulders directly support the clothes, showing off the round shoulders without any sense of incongruity.
"Clang clang clang~, how about it, is it beautiful?"
Liu Xiaoke came out and took a walk, and her court dress spread out like a gorgeous flower.
Wang Yi's eyes also brightened.
"This prop team has designed it well. After we're done, steal the clothes back and we can try something new."
Wang Yi's words made Liu Xiaoke blush and she hit him
"I'm going to die. What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight~"
Qian Yayan, who was standing next to her, pricked up her ears and turned around to contact the stage manager.
It’s okay, we have money, just order it directly!
By the way, ask the designer to design one for yourself.
Hehe, I let you go home and be the emperor so that you don’t go out and mess around with other girls.
Last time I went to South Korea, I took a girl group and came back exhausted.
But it seemed that the girl groups in South Korea were all very well behaved. They were very honest when she went over to make excuses to set rules, so she didn't have the heart to make things difficult for them...
At this time, the director of the crew also quietly peeked in from the side. When he saw Wang Yi saw him, he ran over with small steps as if honey was smeared on his face, hunched over and smiled.
"Oh, Mr. Wang, I know you don't like to make a fuss, so I didn't come to greet you. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's okay, just shoot with your heart, and go do your work."
Wang Yi didn't have any good instructions for the director.
In fact, Wen Yu saw that Liu Xiaoke took on this play, so he went directly to the director and asked if they wanted to invest.
And then it became like this!
After all, although Wang Yi doesn't mind Liu Xiaoke being in the entertainment industry, and thinks it's nice to have a girlfriend who is a big star, he certainly won't let others take advantage of his family.
There is no problem with female lead roles and emotional scenes, but some rival scenes will definitely require the use of stand-ins.
Of course, the director must also understand the importance of the matter and not be ungrateful.
But the good thing about the entertainment industry is that it is definitely the top among all industries in terms of knowing how to respect others, even surpassing the service industry...
