The company has initially planned two series of processor products:
The "A" series, the top of the list, is the flagship series of products, used to benchmark the Snapdragon 8 series and HiSilicon Kirin 9 series;
The "Gui" series, the tail of the heavenly stem, is the future mid-range series of products, used to benchmark the Snapdragon 6 series and Kirin 7 series.
2013 happens to be the "Year of Guisi" again, so it is very appropriate to name Taibai Semiconductor's first self-developed processor with "Gui 1".
It is the beginning and the cornerstone.
When the A-series processor is powerful enough in the future, we can create a "high-end" series based on it, imitating HiSilicon Kirin's 8 series.
The surface parameters of Taibai Gui 1 are very beautiful. It has a quad-core CPU with a main frequency of up to 1.5GHz. It is manufactured using TSMC’s 28nm HPL process. This is currently an advanced process second only to HPM. This makes up for Taibai Semiconductor’s immature design capabilities.
In terms of process technology, it is better than the 28nm LP process used in the Snapdragon 600, but of course it is also more expensive.
This means that the initial cost of Taibaigui 1 is not cheap, and it cannot be directly installed on low-end products. Otherwise, not to mention profits, it may not even be able to maintain its capital.
Taibaigui 1 integrates CPU and GPU, and does not integrate a baseband processor. However, negotiations with MediaTek have ended, and the baseband can be directly integrated in the future to save space on the mobile phone.
Now that the tape-out has been successful, it is a situation that even the plan did not dare to consider, but it does not affect the subsequent arrangements at all, because it can be directly mounted on the Ji Jinjiu 3 released in the autumn, and there is still time to polish and adjust it.
After the tape-out was successful, the integrated baseband version also began to be prepared. At the same time, the product department quickly began to take the processor brought over for computer testing.
The tape-out was so smooth that there were almost no such plans before. Fortunately, it did not affect the planning. I originally planned to make a "Taibai version" of the Jiangjinjiu 3 if the processor was successfully developed.
Now the engineering machine that will be put into Jiu 3 is already being tested, and Taibai Gui 1 has just been inserted directly into it for testing.
Wei Qingfan took this matter very seriously. After learning the news, he immediately flew Jiang Qinghuai to the BYD OEM factory in Shenzhen, regardless of his wife and children, and immediately got the Gushi mobile phone with "self-developed core"
.
Frankly speaking, the experience was not good.
Jiangjinjiu 3 itself is being tested, and it is an early version. The new Luoshen system 6.0 is not stable, and it has some problems with the Qualcomm 800 processor. It was replaced with the untuned Taibaigui 1, which caused heat and lag.
, abnormal power consumption, all possible situations have been encountered.
However, when testing the engineering machine, this was an expected situation. At least there were no compatibility issues. Just polish it slowly.
"This fingerprint recognition is quite easy to use..."
Jiang Qinghuai was not of a high level and could not get the early engineering machine. After returning to the hotel, he took Wei Qingfan's machine for trial use. Then he raised his phone in surprise and showed it to Wei Qingfan: "Look! Look!
"
Her expression seemed to be a little surprised. Wei Qingfan sat up and looked, and saw that she was opening the theme store, but it got stuck, with the message "Application not responding."
Moreover, there is something wrong with this "application not responding" prompt. It should have been a rounded rectangle, but it was twisted into a horizontal trapezoid.
"This is the first time I've encountered this kind of problem!"
Jiang Qinghuai didn't know whether he was gloating or feeling strange. He picked up his mobile phone and took a photo, "I'll send it to Miaomiao."
"Don't."
Wei Qingfan laughed and said, "You are violating the rules and leaking company secrets. Just describe it to her later."
"嘁~"
Jiang Qinghuai rolled his eyes, "You are afraid that I will leak it to you, so you won't be surprised when you give her the engineering machine later."
“Secretary Jiang is really considerate~”
Wei Qingfan kissed her cheek, and before she could say anything else, he smiled and said: "Mr. Wei is also good at understanding people's clothes... I'll show you..."
"I...I'll bite you to death!"
"Okay, you said it yourself, if you don't bite me to death, I will be a puppy..."
The two of them had not returned to Shenzhen. On the morning of the next day, July 20, "The Story Behind" was officially put on sale in major bookstores, and online shopping channels were opened. Pinned updates were also posted on the official Weibo and the Luoshen community.
Come to promote your first book.
"Wanwan, are you going?"
It was Saturday. After dinner in the morning, Li Miaoyu called to Li Wanyi, "Let mom look after the baby first. Let's go shopping. You haven't gone shopping in almost a year."
Li Wanyi's health has basically recovered, but she has to take care of her children every day, and she also spends her free time on work.
"It seems really..."
Li Wanyi thought about it, it had been half a year since she last went shopping, but she wanted to think about the company's affairs again, so she was a little hesitant.
"Let's go shopping."
Wang Shuhua persuaded with a smile, "If Qingqing is not here, call Wanyun, Qingchan, and Qinghuan, and let's go shopping together to relax. We are busy with our work."
"Okay, I'll listen to mom."
Li Wanyi didn't hesitate anymore and agreed with a smile.
None of them asked Wang Shuhua to go with them, because although there were confinement nannies and nannies at home, they all took care to ensure that their own family members would look after the children. They could let nannies and confinement nannies help hold and carry them, but they had to have
My family watched.
"Then I'll go change clothes."
"I am coming too."
Both of them went to change clothes. Li Wanyi's figure had basically recovered. She put on an elegant purple skirt and a white short-sleeved shirt on her upper body. She had a light and mature feeling, simple and intellectual, and complemented her tall and graceful figure.
She is beautiful and charming, but also has a powerful aura that makes people shy away from her.
Li Miaoyu put on a newly purchased pink and white dress. After changing her clothes, they met in the living room. After looking at each other, she ran over and hugged Li Wanyi's arm. She smiled at Wang Shuhua and said, "Mom, look, are we two okay?"
nice?"
"Good-looking, good-looking."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Shuhua said with a smile on her face, she really feels so, her son may be a bit of a bastard, but his vision and beauty are indeed first-class, and several girls are especially special
The provocative beauty then became a little worried and said, "How about asking the driver to take you there?"
"No, let's go by car."
Li Miaoyu said with a smile, "Let's drive a sports car, okay? Let Sister Chan drive a car too."
"also."
Li Wanyi did not object, but she was still a little uneasy. She went back to the room and took a look at the baby. Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, she went downstairs with Li Miaoyu.
The two of them first called someone, and then drove Li Miaoyu's Continental car to set off. Li Wanyun didn't dare to let them come to school, and still went outside to wait.
Wearing a pure white cotton dress, she looked calm and delicate. She was waiting quietly on the roadside. When she saw Li Miaoyu's white Continental approaching, she waved gently.
"How do you drive this car?"
Because it is a double-door, people sitting in the back seat have to pass through the front seat. When Li Wanyi drove, Li Miaoyu stood up and got out of the way, then sat in the back with Li Wanyun, and hummed: "I think it's funny, I'm sitting in the back with you."
Li Wanyun smiled and said, "If you don't drive this car, won't everything be fine?"
"It's so expensive, I'd be in trouble if I didn't pay."
The place the three of them made an appointment was in Sanlitun. They wanted to see the ancient poetry flagship store here. It had just opened a week ago. Except for Jiang Qinghuai who accompanied Wei Qingfan there because of work, none of them had visited it yet.
The three of them arrived at the place and parked the car in the mall. Wei Qingchan and Wei Qinghuan hadn't arrived yet.
——After getting married, Wei Qingchan finally plucked up the courage to start driving. Because she drove too slowly, Yang Changyu was worried that she would be scolded, so he specially left the Mercedes-Benz S300 given by Wei Qingfan and Li Wanyi to her to drive.
I still drive my original Passat and plan to drive it for two years before switching to another car.
The reason is that if you drive a more expensive car, you will be more cautious about other vehicles on the road, lest your wife get scolded or hit.
"Hey, Qinghuan, where are you?"
After getting off the car, Li Miaoyu called Wei Qinghuan and said, "We're at the place."
"We're here..."
Wei Qinghuan looked at the navigation there and said, "We are on the Third Ring Road, and we have twelve minutes to arrive... Oh, this is the time on the navigation, my sister estimates it will be double."
"Then you drive."
Wei Qingchan's annoyed voice came from the side, "Don't you have a driver's license too?"
Wei Qinghuan said: "Hey, hey, if you don't want to drive, why should I drive by myself if there is a driver?"
Li Wanyun leaned close to the phone and said, "Then let's go to the store first."
Li Wanyi said: "When you arrive, park your car here, and then go to the store to find us."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the three of them walked out of the mall and found the flagship store of Gushi Mobile Phones from the outside. It had two floors, with five or six normal stores. There were no other decorations, only the hanging hanging banner that was already familiar to many people.
The word "poetry" logo.
This style is obviously imitating Apple, but the effect is very good. The simple and exquisite style has a sense of high-end technology at first glance.
"It looks quite high-end..."
Li Miaoyu whispered softly, took out his bird and took two photos. When he got to the door, he took photos of Li Wanyi and Li Wanyun, and then the three of them took selfies together.
Through the glass wall, you can see the situation inside the store. There are not many people, at least it is not crowded, but there are still a lot of people. People are passing by at the entrance and on the street. When they see three such beautiful beauties taking photos in front of the ancient poetry experience store, they all turn their heads.
It seems.
Some people also noticed Li Miaoyu's mobile phone, or perhaps noticed the dual cameras. They probably thought it was strange and took a second look.
"In this way, we can increase his brand image, right?"
After taking the photo, Li Miaoyu said happily, "This is called the radiance of fennel."
"I think it is."
Li Wanyun also laughed, "I've been to the Apple store next door once before, and there were more people than here."
"It's an apple after all."
Li Wanyi didn't find it strange. She was already satisfied with the constant flow of people in the store and said, "Go in and have a look."
"Um."
The store is very spacious, and the decoration, tables, and product placement all exude "Apple style" - Apple's high-end image, the gap with other mobile phone brands, the gap in the experience store can be said to be wider than the gap in products.
Because no one wants to learn it, it’s too expensive.
Huawei is learning, but it has learned a lot.
The high-end image of Apple stores is multi-faceted. For example, almost all of them are perfectly in line with the surrounding environment and can highlight the high-end style of architectural design. Among them, single buildings and two different levels of experience stores embedded in ancient buildings are the main representatives.
The former such as Istanbul store, New York Fifth Avenue store, Shanghai store;
The latter include London store, Paris store, Florence store, New York Grand Central Station store, and Beijing Wangfujing store.
These designs alone are extremely expensive.
In addition, the layout of Apple stores around the world is almost the same, and even the designs of these tables and display racks have been patented.
The decoration details, air conditioning, and lighting in the store—even down to the light when you walk across the table and when you bend over to pick up your phone—all have standards and requirements.
Also, the cheapest items in Apple's direct-operated stores are products such as iMac, iPhone, and iPad, and tables are more expensive than them.
Putting aside these areas of spending money, the fact that "the clerks in the experience store have no sales tasks" is also enough to throw away the services of all the experience store services in the industry.
Even Huawei's plus store has a larger decoration and larger area, but when there is a sales task, the feeling is completely different.
In order to build a high-end store, Wei Qingfan really worked hard and spent money. The investment in rent and decoration alone for this world's first flagship store exceeded 40 million!
Moreover, the store clerk also has no sales task, and is really just spending money on marketing.
The effect is also very obvious. Less than a week after the store opened, it has become a craze on the Internet, and many fans even traveled across the city to check in.
Even if it can't sell even one mobile phone, it can keep adding points to the brand image of Gushi Mobile Phones by keeping it here.
Of course, behind every penny is money, lots and lots of money.
If it weren't for the fact that mobile phone sales have been rising steadily in the past two years, far exceeding expectations, Wei Qingfan would never be willing to waste his fortune like this. (End of Chapter)
