"Are you also watching the X phone 1 press conference?" Wang Yi was a little surprised.

It's noon in the Imperial City, and it should be almost early morning in the Empire.

"Of course! Such a wonderful press conference is a rare technological feast. I can't miss it!"

Jacob was so excited that his words were full of excitement:

"300,000 units were sold online in fifteen minutes. Including offline, it is estimated that 500,000 units were sold! Director Wang, you have created a miracle, an incredible miracle!"

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "I have to thank Mr. Jacob for his support. If you hadn't upgraded half of the 8260s to 8660s, X phone 1 wouldn't be able to provide full network access!"

The CPU chips of 8260 and 8660 are exactly the same, the only difference is that the baseband chip is different.

The baseband chip of 8260 does not support CDMA, does not support telecommunications, and is not full Netcom.

And 8660 supports CDMA, supports telecommunications, and is full Netcom!

The original five million order between Wang Yi and Qualcomm was for half 8260 and half 8660.

But later, Jacob felt that the baseband costs of 8260 and 8660 were about the same, and Wang Yi needed more chips, so he simply upgraded them all to 8660 All-Network basebands as a favor to Wang Yi.

In this way, if the Xingyi mobile phone sells well and you continue to place additional orders, you will choose Qualcomm Dual Core instead of Nvidia and Texas Instruments!

In the current chip market, Qualcomm is not yet the dominant player, Texas Instruments is not dead, and Nvidia is also working hard to become stronger.

Sure enough, Jacob made the right bet!

X phone 1 is really selling out!

Adding orders for chips is also a matter of course.

"It is our honor to be able to help Director Wang." Jacob was in a good mood.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "But I need your help with something next."

"As your eternal friend, I, Jacob, and Qualcomm are happy to serve!"

Jacob smiled, such a super big customer cannot be offended.

Hurry up and get your orders!

It’s not in vain to upgrade the baseband for free!

"Wang, how many Qualcomm processors and baseband chips do you need? I will give you priority and ensure timely supply! It is still the 8660 full Netcom version!"

Wang Yi smiled. Qualcomm has not yet monopolized the market, so it is still easy to talk to.

More importantly, Qualcomm's current situation is a bit embarrassing.

NVIDIA's Tegra 3 quad-core processor is estimated to be available in March next year, and it will be the era of quad-core!

Qualcomm's 8x60 series asynchronous dual-core processors, no matter how awesome they are, are still dual-core, and they will be outdated by then.

There is no way, in the eyes of consumers, dual-core is not as good as quad-core.

As for Qualcomm's quad-core processor, it will be available in August or even September next year at the earliest. A full five or six months too late!

The second generation of Xiaomi in the previous life was the world's first Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core processor in 16, but it only started large-scale distribution in October.

Therefore, Qualcomm’s quad-core is likely to be available in August and September.

It’s difficult to do it in advance.

Without him, Qualcomm 8064 is the world's first 28nm mobile chip. The reason why it is difficult to produce is that it is waiting for TSMC's 28nm process to mature and produce enough!

TSMC's 28nm process has just started production, but the yield rate is not high and the production capacity is insufficient.

By the second half of next year, when the yield rate has improved dramatically and production capacity is sufficient, Qualcomm's quad-core can be mass-produced on a large scale.

It is precisely because of the slow progress of TSMC's 28nm that Nvidia will choose the 40nm process for next year's quad-core processor.

Apple will also abandon TSMC for next year's A6 and choose Samsung's 32nm process.

Only Qualcomm's quad-core is waiting hard for TSMC's 28nm, waiting until after August...

There is nothing we can do about this.

Before August 2012, Qualcomm could only use dual-core to compete with Nvidia's quad-core.

But Jacob and Wang Yi both know how difficult it is!

As soon as NVIDIA quad-core is launched, other brands will abandon Qualcomm dual-core and choose NVIDIA quad-core!

Many brands have even canceled Qualcomm dual-core orders for their flagship phones that were due to be released now, choosing to postpone their release until next year!

Just waiting for Nvidia’s world’s first quad-core processor!

This makes Qualcomm's current situation even more difficult.

It can be said that how much Qualcomm's dual-core can sell depends on Wang Yi's X phone 1.

If Wang Yi buys more, Qualcomm's life will be easier.

If Wang Yi buys less, Qualcomm will have to drink from the northwest wind for five months.

It won’t be able to overtake Nvidia’s quad-core until August next year.

Wang Yi and Jacob are both aware of these stakes.

This is also an important consideration for Jacob to take the initiative to upgrade the baseband chip for Wang Yi!

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "The sales of X phone 1 are booming at the moment. The three million sets of processors and basebands that have not been delivered should be delivered as soon as possible!"

"No problem, Director Wang, all Qualcomm chip production capacity will be given priority to Xingyi Technology!" Jacob assured:

"I just contacted the foundry. There are currently one million sets of chips and one million sets of basebands. They were originally orders from other customers, but they were given priority to you and will be shipped today! The remaining two million sets of orders are from TSMC

We will go all out to produce and deliver it within half a month!”

"Okay!" Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It won’t take too long to ship from TSMC to the mainland, so it’s not too late.

After all, Wang Yi still has one million sets of chips, which is enough for the time being.

The remaining three million sets of chips will all be delivered within half a month, and this month will be enough.

"Director Wang, the sales of X phone 1 are so hot, these five million units are not enough. How much more will you order?" Jacob was full of expectations.

All the previous preferential treatments are for placing additional orders at this moment!

Wang Yi smiled: "It's no problem to add an order, but the price..."

The last five million chip + baseband, after Wang Yi haggled, the final unit price was US$34, and he ordered half of the 8260 and half of the 8660.

But in the end, it was upgraded to 8660 for free.

Now that two months have passed, the price of chips has dropped, so it is natural to renegotiate the price.

"Don't worry, Mr. Price, we will always give you the lowest price!"

"Rebus came to me some time ago, and I promised him 500,000 sets of 8,260,34 US dollars, which would be shipped at the end of February."

"For you, Mr. Wang, 8660 full network access, directly for 31 US dollars. It will be available at the end of December. You can get as much as you want. It will not delay Mr. Wang's use!"

This price is full of sincerity.

There is no way, Jacob knows who is the big customer and who is little Kami!

How could it be possible to pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon?

"Okay, since Mr. Jacobs is so happy, then I will add another 5 million processors and 5 million basebands!"

"Is it just five million sets?" Jacob was a little disappointed.

In the next nine months, Qualcomm will have to rely on its outdated dual-core technology to survive.

At present, other flagship phones are waiting for NVIDIA's quad-core. How much Qualcomm's dual-core can sell depends on Wang Yi!

Naturally, I hope Wang Yi will order more.

Wang Yi knew what Jacob was thinking and couldn't help but have an idea.

According to the current momentum of X phone 1, 10 million units will be sold in half a year, which is not a big pressure.

But in half a year, the quad-core era will come, and it will be hard to say by then, unless there is a big price cut.

Obviously Wang Yi couldn't accept this.

At that time, you will have to use X phone 1pro to take over, quad-core versus quad-core!

It's a pity that Nvidia only has 5 million sets of quad-core processors. It will be no problem to add another 5 million sets of processors in the future, but it lacks baseband chips!

If you continue to buy Qualcomm baseband chips separately, Qualcomm will definitely not sell them.

If we buy 5 million more sets of Qualcomm dual-core chips + basebands, and allocate these 5 million Qualcomm basebands to NVIDIA quad-core chips, then the X phone 1pro will have a production capacity of 10 million units!

It has been sold all the way to August, Qualcomm's quad-core will be launched in September, and the second generation of Xingyi mobile phone will be released, which is enough.

The remaining five million sets of Qualcomm application chips are fine without the baseband and can be used to produce the first generation of Xingyi tablets!

For tablets, dual-core processors are sufficient and can be released in advance.

There’s no need to wait until September next year, Nvidia’s quad-core chips will be cheaper!

Such integration of resources is perfect!

Well, Qualcomm baseband is not willing to sell it separately at a low price, so I will buy it as a set with the processor chip and use it separately!

Is this no problem?

After reading this, Wang Yi sighed:
