The Zhurong chip equipped with the Ice Core 16nm process on the Yike Mars 8.8 has been subject to various discussions and conjectures in just two days.
However, when it was first presented in data to a global audience, its power still shocked people.
It is true that multi-core performance is only one dimension of chip performance, but Zhu Rong's performance that surpasses Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon by 27.8% and surpasses Apple's A8 chip by 70% is still too silent!
Is this really a mobile phone flagship released in the same year?
There won't be any problems with the test...
Part-time review blogger Roma felt the shock of his colleagues around him, and quickly re-operated and tested Zhurong's multi-core performance again.
Sure enough! Wrong!
It’s not 4986 which is close to 5000 at all!
This time it became 5013!
A8 is 2927 starting with 2, Snapdragon is 3899 starting with 3...
Just now Zhu Rong still started with 4. I tested it again and it successfully fluctuated to start with 5...
Good, good, so good that I don’t know what to say.
Rohm confirmed the second data, calmed down, and gave his own evaluation: "Zhurong chips, which are one generation ahead in process technology, have obvious advantages. This, this..."
“A8 and Snapdragon 810 are both very powerful chips, but there is a saying about camera products that ‘bigger cameras will kill you’. It means that larger sensors can bring stronger shooting effects.”
"Similarly, when Mr. Fang mentioned Zhurong's 16nm process at the press conference, this competition has ended. Zhurong will definitely be better than A8 and Snapdragon 810."
"What we are doing now is to see how much stronger it is!"
"Whether it was the strong single-core performance of the A8 in the past or the strong multi-core performance of the Snapdragon 810, it has now been surpassed by Zhu Rong, which will undoubtedly bring a better experience to users."
"Mr. Fang said there will be no price increase this time when the quantity is increased. The price is basically the same. Yike's chip has such performance. As a technology and digital enthusiast, it is difficult for me to convince myself not to buy it."
Rohm gave his own feelings about the test data in two dimensions.
After saying this, he continued to use GFBench to test the third dimension data of the three chips, which is the GPU performance of the three mobile phones. This time, Snapdragon finally regained control.
Snapdragon 810 integrates Adreno 430, while Zhurong and A8 both use ARM's Mali-T760 MP8. The former is slightly stronger in this area. Although it is only slightly stronger, it is still much better than the previous one.
Rohm showed the GFBench data on the four angles of the GPU and held back what he wanted to say. The Snapdragon 810 is indeed good, but I don’t know if this is a factor in its heat generation.
He was just about to move on to the next test when a reporter next to him suddenly said: "I heard that the 'unparalleled' tablet that Yike will launch next spring will use its own GPU."
Since Yike's delayed launch of the Galaxy 2 tablet restored the hearts of some consumers, this product line has been on the right track.
According to the company's custom, the tablet chips at the spring conference will be roughly the same as the mobile phone chips in the autumn, but the main frequency limit is different. However, this year's situation is special. Next year's tablets will undoubtedly use this Snapdragon.
When Rom heard this, he immediately turned around and asked: "Is it true? Is it true? Where did the source of the information come from?"
Everyone present is a media reporter. Although they are immersed in mobile phone review activities, they have not forgotten their duties.
"I don't know if it is true or not, but the news comes from Yike Silicon Valley Center." The reporter said, "Even if it is not used next spring, it will definitely be used next fall. Yike will obviously not stop in chip design.
.”
Yike's investment and layout in chip design are becoming more and more obvious. Zhurong, Jiuzhang and baseband chips... there is no reason to put down the GPU.
Rohm couldn't help but nodded and said to the camera: "We can look forward to Yike's performance on the GPU next year. Walker just mentioned Yike's peerless tablet next spring. In fact, the chip in our hands
It will still be timeless if placed on next year’s flagship mobile phone.”
"Ice Core International's 16nm is the first time to introduce FinFET. Intel is planning to launch processors early next year. Taiwan Note will not wait until the second quarter. Then, in the second half of next year, 16nm will still be the world's first-line process, and Ice Core International is likely to
Optimizing FinFETs."
"Taiji, a leading company in wafer manufacturing, was very good at using advanced technology to suppress competitors. This time, Ice Core International has won the world's No. 1 process technology. It can definitely learn from Taiji's practices in this regard."
"This time Yike not only established its position as the strongest mobile phone this year, but also ensured its leading advantage in the next few years."
Roma evaluated and extended the new news, and his performance made many TV station guests nod their heads, saying that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"We have measured the scores of single-core, multi-core and GPU. Now we will use the software to run the overall score for your reference."
Rohm knew that the performance was obvious, but he still had to complete this link thoroughly.
Because of the previous foreshadowing, everyone also had expectations for the final overall score.
Mars is undoubtedly the leader, with a score of 70138, followed by iPhone and Trump at 58194 and 56690.
"There is no problem, because Zhu Rong has 4 cores, A8 has dual cores, and Snapdragon 810 has 8 cores. This total running score is not particularly accurate, but Zhu Rong has at least a 20% performance lead, which is certain."
"Why has Yike's Mars 8.8 achieved such a big sensation this time? Its core processor is the core factor."
"It's not that Snapdragon and A8 are not strong enough. They are already the benchmark for high-end mobile phone chips. It is precisely based on this benchmark that Zhurong chip still has breakthroughs. This is what shocked us the most!"
"We did not test the products of mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola, HTC, BlackBerry, and Sony Ericsson. We directly used Samsung and Apple. This is already a strict comparison."
"Zhu Rong's performance compared to this is nothing short of abnormal!"
"I can only give my personal conclusion that Yike Mars 8.8 is the most worth buying mobile phone product from this year to the first half of next year!"
"This is before I have tried out other functions, and everyone knows that Yike has always been one of the top two in the Yusan family in terms of mobile phone training."
Rohm gave the concluding remarks for the chip test, completing a link that attracted great attention from many TV stations.
When he started testing other performances of the three flagship mobile phones, many TV stations stopped broadcasting and evaluated the performance of Zhurong chips.
This is the world's first-hand information, enough to stir up more public opinion.
Roma didn't care about this, and just focused on completing the world's first beta.
Just as he predicted, Yike's polishing of the overall use of mobile phones this year is still above the standard, whether it is the upgrade of fingerprint recognition, the use of face recognition, or the 4K shooting effect and the continuation of image quality...
These are Yike’s strengths!
"Hey, global machine king, I want to state first that I did the evaluation under the witness of many peers. I did not charge any fees from Yike. Therefore, my recommendation is also sincere. If you buy it, just buy it.
it!"
“OMG, I really can’t find any reason to recommend other competing products!”
“I would like to call Mr. Fang the ancient Greek god in charge of smartphones!”
Rohm completed the actual test experience of a series of mobile phones, and finally asked two colleagues to open mobile games on three mobile phones at the same time. There was no doubt that Mars was loaded first, and Trump was almost the same as iPhone.
"Our evaluation can only be rough here, you can go and place your order."
"The final test is heat dissipation. It may take some time to show up. I will update the results on my Twitter."
"Although the result has not come out, I can predict it."
Rohm pointed to Mars in the middle and said: "Because this chip of Yike uses a more refined process, it will inevitably reduce the size of the components, which will bring more space inside the mobile phone."
"On the one hand, mobile phone manufacturers want to bring us the best performance, but on the other hand, they also have to worry about overall heat dissipation, so every bit of space inside is extremely valuable."
“Yike’s Mars 8.8 has a better heat dissipation foundation.”
"Thank you everyone for watching and broadcasting."
“This is Bloomberg’s Rohm.”
When Rohm said this, he picked up the live broadcast camera and filmed his colleagues who were witnessing the evaluation. This was not only a sign of respect, but also proof that this evaluation was absolutely fair and impartial.
However, the live camera was filming the reporters leaving the country, and suddenly a surprised voiceover came.
"Why is Trump so hot?"
The live broadcast screen shook a bit, but it still didn't cut to Trump. Instead, Rohm coughed, followed by "Goodbye" and then the screen went black.
The world's first test of Yike Mars 8.8 left people unsatisfied. Even after the YouTube live broadcast ended, many viewers were still discussing it.
——The King of Machines!
——"Why is Trump so hot?"
——OMG, if you buy it, buy it!
——Mr. Fang, the ancient Greek god in charge of smartphones!
Similarly, many people in the Simplified Chinese community are paying attention to and discussing the evaluation live broadcast. They are sincerely shocked and satisfied with Yike's global sensational product release.
——Hey, this is called once the manufacturing process is high, it will be infinitely high!
—— Mr. Fang laughed when he was riding Juechen, everyone knew it was Zhu Rong coming!
——Powerful Flying Bricks!
——Master, master, master!
——Niubi!
The evaluation by the "Bloomberg" reporter directly further confirmed the top level of Yike Mars 8.8, and all cooperation channels of Yike had exploded long before he did the evaluation.
It is even said that the press conference is not over yet. When Fangzhuo announced Zhurong's process technology level, keen partners and channel vendors have already called to contact them about the supply situation.
As Yike's long-standing domestic operator partner, China Unicom was very calm at first. Yike's product sales prospects are booming. Isn't this normal?
What's so surprising?
Besides, no matter how popular Yike is, there still has to be room for the old guy.
Late at night after the press conference, China Unicom looked at the completely different popularity this year and suddenly felt a little worried. It wouldn't be that bad. They would ensure their own supply no matter what...
Huo Kaixiang, the director who has always been in charge of Yike's product procurement, couldn't help but call Yike and received a piece of news that made him extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
"Well, Mr. Huo, I can't give you accurate information now. Our country is among the first countries to launch it. However, because it is late this year, it is Black Friday and Christmas abroad, so we must pay attention to this peak season."
After hearing this, Huo Kaixiang immediately said: "Don't be careless. Users here have started asking about reservations. Also, what's going on with China Mobile and Telecom? How did I hear that their trucks are parked directly at the factory?
It’s at the door!!”
Unlike China Unicom, which remains calm, people from China Mobile and China Telecom have taken action overnight.
Huo Kaixiang listened to the hesitation on the other end of the phone and knew that the news coming from the front line was probably true!
Dry!
Huo Kaixiang was annoyed, thinking about the sales prospects of Yike's mobile phones this time, and thinking about the 3G and 4G users that Yike's Mars series had brought to China Unicom in the past. He didn't care anymore and called his boss Wu Yunjun directly.
Wu Yunjun is the vice president of China Unicom and an old friend of Fang Zhuo. He also approved China Unicom's investment in Yixin and provided huge resource cooperation to support the development of mobile Internet instant messaging such as Yixin.
He called Mr. Fang on the morning of the 16th. He first congratulated Yike Mars on its popularity, and then talked about China Unicom's supply guarantee.
"I'm really not sure about the arrangements on the supply chain side, Mr. Wu. In this case, I'll ask Mr. Li over there to take a look at the situation and let him communicate with Mr. Huo." Fang Zhuo was very happy to receive the call.
Mr. Wu is an old friend and a high-ranking official. How could he not give me this little face?
Wu Yunjun was very satisfied.
However, in just half a day, he saw Huo Kaixiang's face-to-face report in a hurry. He was dissatisfied with the supply arrangement of Yi Keli Songqing. One of the important reasons was that the mass production time of Ice Core International's process was too close, no matter how to increase the horsepower.
I will also be nervous.
What's more, Yike sells products globally, and this year it has divided into first, second, and third batches of countries and regions.
"Mr. Wu, Li Songqing said that operators in the United States and Europe have even begun to adjust their cooperation ratios. Is this... is this a lie to us?" Huo Kaixiang mentioned a detail of the exchange.
The cooperation between operators in the United States and Europe and Yike is a multi-year contract. The 199/299 and other packages there are divided by Yike. China Unicom has always known this.
But to say that Yike Mars 8.8 directly shakes the share ratio, is this too magical?
Wu Yunjun pondered, feeling that he would not lie to himself about such a thing.
"How about we push more on the iPhone?" Huo Kaixiang made a suggestion and added, "The iPhone is also available in Tuhao Gold color this year."
Wu Yunjun said angrily: "What a bad idea, what bullshit rich money, why are your aesthetics so vulgar! I'll call Fang Zhuo, I still don't believe it, if not, I will fly to Shanghai to find him!"
The world's number one product like Yike will bring extremely huge influence. Supply is still a small matter, so don't let China Mobile and Telecom come up with any unreasonable cooperation!
Wu Yunjun adjusted his mood before calling Mr. Fang for the second time.
After listening to what Mr. Wu said about the supply problem, Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The supply is really tight this year. Let's do this. Mr. Wu, I will let Mr. Li make arrangements later. No matter what, I will squeeze in
, whether it is more or less, Mr. Wu will forgive me. In addition, we have launched a new color scheme this year, everyone calls it Tuhao Gold, and we will distribute some specifically for China Unicom."
Wu Yunjun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, Mr. Fang, I understand, I understand, Yike's performance this year is so encouraging! Hey, gold is good, gold is good, local tycoon gold, Yike is this
Kingly style, have fun with users!"
Huo Kaixiang, who was listening to the call between his boss and Mr. Fang, was stunned. Mr. Wu, you, you... that vulgar aesthetic you just had...
Now this is the style of a king, having fun with users?!
