"Yes, Chairman, Nvidia and Qualcomm have started working!" Xu Mingyi said with a smile.

A few months ago, Qualcomm's quad-core flagship was released, and Nvidia's quad-core processor was reduced to $15.

Now that Qualcomm quad-core is officially launched, Nvidia quad-core has been reduced to $12 again!

But it’s normal to think about it. Qualcomm’s 28nm quad-core processor has been installed, and Nvidia’s 40nm can only be reduced again and again.

Of course, there is also the meaning of Nvidia deliberately launching a price war, which disgusting Qualcomm.

Qualcomm APQ8064, the world's first 28nm quad-core flagship chip, was originally planned to sell for a high price, but the processor alone would sell for $25, plus the baseband for $38.

Now, Nvidia has pushed the processor to $12, and even if it is 28 nanometers, it will not dare to sell the high price of $25, up to $18.

If it is twice as expensive as Nvidia quad-core, mobile phone manufacturers would rather give up Qualcomm quad-core and choose the cheaper Nvidia quad-core.

After all, they are all quad-core processors, so what if they are advanced?

40 nanometers are not unusable, they are so much cheaper...

Cost-performance ratio is always calculated in bundled ways.

However, this matter is more friendly to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi and Qualcomm signed the APQ 8064 purchase agreement half a year ago.

In order to grab the order for the quad-core processor, Qualcomm agreed with Wang Yi that the supply price of APQ 8064 to Wang Yi is no higher than that of Nvidia's tegra 3!

Nowadays, Nvidia's tegra 3 is sold for $12, so that's OK, Qualcomm APQ8064 costs other companies $18 or even $20, but according to the contract, it can only give Wang Yi no more than tegra 3, that is $12!

This is very cheap!

The latest 28nm flagship processor, for only $12, is really cheap enough.

There is no way. If Qualcomm dares to ask for a high price, Wang Yi's Xphone 2 can continue to use Nvidia tegra 3.

Although 28 nanometers are one generation ahead of 40 nanometers, if it is twice as expensive, it will be completely worthless.

As for the baseband price of Xphone 2, the scoring situation.

Currently, there are two basebands that match APQ 8064, MDM 8215 and MDM 9615.

Both are brand new 28nm basebands, but their performance is much worse.

MDM 8215 is a 3G baseband and does not support telecommunications, so the price will be more beautiful.

But if you use MDM 9615, the price will be higher. After all, it supports telecom 3G and 4G.

In the previous life, Xiaomi 2 and Xiaomi 2DM 8215 supported mobile 2G, China Unicom 2G, 3G, and not telecommunications.

The telecom version uses MDM 9615. In addition to Mobile 2G, China Unicom 2G, and 3G, it also supports Telecom 3G, which is a complete full network version.

Similarly, iPhone 5 also uses the MDM 9615 baseband, which supports full network access.

Although the Xiaomi 2/2S telecom version and iPhone 5 both use the 4G-enabled MDM 9615 baseband, none of the three models support 4G.

Nothing else, the baseband supports 4G, and the transceiver of three mobile phones RTR8600 RF does not support 4G signal transmission and reception, so it is just a 3G mobile phone.

On the contrary, the iPhone 5 9615 baseband + WTR1605L 4G transceiver in 2013 only supports 4G.

Similarly, the Xphone 2 also faces the problem of what baseband and transceiver to use.

If you use the 3G baseband 8215, Wang Yi will want more, and the price will be $11.

This 8064 chip + 8215 baseband, a total of US$23, is cost-effective, but does not support telecommunications.

If you choose Qualcomm's strongest baseband MDM 9615, the price will be expensive.

After all, Qualcomm MDM 9615 baseband supports 4G, and even if Wang Yi wants more, it will cost $13 or even $15.

In this way, the processor + 9615 baseband will cost $25, or even $27.

It is precisely because of this that the Xiaomi 2 standard version in the previous life used the APQ8064+8215 baseband and did not support telecommunications.

The Xiaomi 2 Telecom version is only 8064 + MDM 9615 baseband, supporting telecom 2G and 3G full network access.

Of course, the price of Xiaomi 2 telecom version is also 200 yuan.

As for 4G?

It doesn't make much sense.

Domestic 4G licenses were issued at the end of 2013 and only started to advance in 2014.

In 2012, there was no need.

To put it bluntly, although MDM 9615 supports 4G, it was still used as 3G in 2012.

This is true for Xiaomi and the iPhone 5 is the same.

There is no need to force 4G on Xingyi mobile phones.

At the beginning of next year, the Kunpeng 700, which has a better performance than Qualcomm APQ 8064, will also have a 3G baseband plug-in.

If the Xphone 2 is launched on Qualcomm 4G this year, the baseband of Qualcomm processor and next year will be replaced with the self-developed Kunpeng 700+ Winglong 3000, which will not support 4G.

4G becomes 3G, and the more you upgrade, the worse it becomes. That's all?

Of course not!

Next, after the mass production of Kunpeng series chips, they will completely replace Qualcomm and Nvidia chips.

This is a big policy, there will be no mistakes.

Wang Yi made up his mind to do 3G on Xphone 2 and wait until the Xphone 3 in September next year to do 4G.

The Winglong 4000 baseband integrated with Kunpeng 9000 SOC is the 4G baseband.

But depending on the progress, the filming will be successful in March and April next year, and mass production will be available in mid-year, which is just for Xphone 3 in September next year.

As for the Xphone 2 in September this year, we can only use 3G for a year. Anyway, domestic 3G will only start to advance in 2014.

As for MDM 9615 or 8215, it depends on Qualcomm's quotation.

In the evening, Wang Yi called Jacob, chairman of Qualcomm.

Jacob's excited voice came from the other side of the phone: "Mr. Wang, good morning, no, good evening, finally waiting for your call."

Qualcomm quad-core processors have been launched, but Wang Yi has never placed another order, only the 5 million APQ 8064 order half a year ago.

On the contrary, Jacob was unable to sit still because he kept adding orders to Nvidia's tegra 3 chips.

But Jacob couldn't take the initiative in this matter.

Once you take the initiative, you will seem anxious. If you negotiate the price again, you will lose the initiative.

Wang Yi smiled and said, "This is not afraid that you will be busy."

"I'm not busy, Mr. Wang, I'll never be busy with your phone number." Jacob said politely.

Now Xingyi Technology has become the overlord of mobile phones, and both Xphone 1 and Xphone 1pro are sold well. Whether it is Nvidia or Qualcomm, they have to beg Wang Yi.

There is no way, big customer, financial supporter father.

As long as there is Nvidia and Qualcomm cannot monopolize it, it will not dare to be as arrogant as it was in the previous life.

After some politeness, the two got to the point: "The quote about the new processor and baseband..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we will follow the previous contract. The 28-nanometer APQ 8064 will cost other companies $20, and you will be given a price not higher than the Nvidia tegra 3, only $12!"

"As for baseband, MDM 9615 supports 4G and full network connection, and is sold to friendly companies for $17, and gives you $15."

"MDM 8215 does not support 4G and telecommunications, and is sold to friendly companies with chips for $15, and you will get $13."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi fell into silence.

Under the contract, the processor is not expensive, and it is all $12.

But the price of the baseband is three or four US dollars more expensive than Wang Yi expected.

Wang Yi understood that Jacob saw that the processor was not profitable, so he wanted to make money back from the baseband!

Can play.

But Wang Yi is not a vegetarian either.

"Mr. Jacob, your baseband quotation is not sincere enough. Last year I bought 5 million pieces and gave me $13 a flagship baseband chip. Now my quantity is much larger, do you want me $15?"

Jacob's face changed slightly: "Dr. Wang, mainly because the MDM 9615 has too many upgrades, it is 4G and full network connection, so the cost is here."

"Haha, last year's baseband also supported full network connection, which was cheaper. As for 4G, I don't plan to do 4G this year. To put it bluntly, MDM 9615 is a waste."

"This..." Jacob was silent.

The biggest selling point of MDM 9615 is 4G!

If Wang Yi’s Xphone 2 is made into a 4G phone, he will have to go to MDM 9615, and he will also ask for a price.

Now that we don’t make 4G phones, we can just use MDM 9615 or use MDM 9615 on the telecom version.

The prototypes made of Xphone 2 are all two versions, including MDM 9615, 8215, and 8215 and more.

Jacob sighed: "This way, Mr. Wang, please place more orders. MDM 9615 base brings me to you for $13."

The price difference between MDM 9615 and MDM 8215 is $2, but for Qualcomm, the cost difference is very small.
