Chapter 274: Half of the Chip Manufacturing Process Revealed?
While the Mi 3s series is still under development, the Transsion S3 has already arrived.
He suddenly remembered when he first started his rice business a few years ago. Back then, he thought that with his marketing skills, the whole world's market was his.
But now...
July 20th, Shenzhen Sports Center.
A total of 12000 tickets were released to the public for this press conference, including those obtained through a lottery and those obtained through reservations.
The S3 launch event was scheduled for 2 p.m., but by noon, long queues had already formed outside.
The atmosphere in the guest lounge inside the press conference room was slightly "subtle" at this moment.
"Old Zhang, you're a bit unethical. You took my place and then conveniently moved Transsion's press conference there."
"I invited them countless times when I was here, but Huawei just kept running away."
"Old Li, don't be in such a hurry! Other companies need to have their own plans!"
Zhang Shiqing poured a cup of tea for Secretary Li across from him as well...
However, he soon delivered another blow to his friend.
"Besides, this is my son-in-law. We're family. If you're so capable, let your son do the same..."
Zhang Shiqing didn't finish speaking, just looked at him with a smile.
Secretary Li across from him... suddenly found the tea unpalatable. Even now that Zhang Shiqing had snatched the telepathic message away, he probably wasn't that bothered.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Fei was going through the final procedures with Li Qing.
Zhang Mingzhu was also watching from the side...
"Ah Fei, are you ready?"
After Zhang Mingzhu finished speaking, she gave Shen Fei an encouraging gesture.
"Ready? It's not the first time."
At 2 o'clock sharp, all the lights on site went out.
At this moment, the speakers in front were already announcing: "Let's welcome Mr. Shen Fei, Chairman of Transsion, to bring you the brand new Transsion S3 flagship phone."
The cheers of 12000 fans once again brought the atmosphere to its peak.
Shen Fei suddenly smiled as he walked onto the stage; he was going to kick off the press conference in the most exciting way possible.
"Friends, welcome to the Shenzhen Stadium to watch Transsion's summer new product launch."
Shen Fei walked to the center of the stage and stood there.
Before introducing the specific performance of the S3, I'd like to share some news with you.
A series of shocking reports appeared on the big screen; it was a New Year's gift from Transsion to the global semiconductor industry...
Even though six months have passed and the first phone equipped with it has only just hit the market, it still causes panic among many companies.
"The Taishan 910 is familiar to everyone. When it was released last year, it scored 28000 points in benchmark tests."
It was, and remains, the most powerful mobile phone chip in the world at the time.
Many people in the audience wanted to applaud, after all, this was a moment of pride for China's semiconductor industry, but they were pulled back by the people next to them...
"But that's the 28nm version..."
Shen Fei listened for a moment, then looked at the guests in the audience.
At this moment, the director gave this distinguished guest a close-up shot.
The top leaders of both the mayor and party secretary of Shenzhen were present, as was the party secretary of Guangzhou, though his expression wasn't as "happy."
"Truly luxurious VIP seating."
"Damn it, Shen Fei said you don't have anyone! Are all the people sitting on the stage wooden figures?"
"This person is more talented than any of those celebrities!"
"Don't try to use those people to extort money, but I'm really curious what shocking news Transsion will reveal at this press conference that would require these people to put on a show."
Director, every time a close-up shot comes in, a related introduction appears on the big screen.
At this point, many fans had already guessed that this press conference was definitely not that simple...
Otherwise, which of these people isn't extremely busy? Why would they be there to support a press conference?
Although his name is Chuanyin... it's definitely not this luxurious, it even feels a bit extravagant.
"Today, I want to tell everyone that the Taishan 910 has a new version with even stronger performance."
A set of comparative data appeared on the big screen.
The 28nm version scored 2.8 in benchmarks.
The 28nm enhanced version scored 3.2 in benchmarks.
There are two huge question marks below...
Many people in the live stream were speculating about the cost of this new process.
"22nm, it must be 22nm!"
"There were rumors before that China's semiconductor industry would be the first to enter the 28nm process, and now it's the first to enter the 22nm process. That's amazing."
"I'll buy S3 no matter the price, because they've genuinely invested in semiconductor research and development..."
But just when everyone was speculating, Shen Fei suddenly changed his tune.
"I know that no one is interested in semiconductors, so let's take a look at the overall configuration of the S3 first."
All the information about Mount Tai 910 on the big screen disappeared, and then a full rendering video appeared.
The style of the live stream chat followed suit, with "Old Dog" and "Shen Old Dog" instantly filling the screen.
But as the rendered video played, he and everyone in the live stream fell silent.
The animation first outlines the body, continuing the minimalist design of the previous generation Transsion S2's unibody frosted metal body.
The screen uses a Transsion OLED panel, the black bezels are further narrowed, the overall grip curve has been finely polished, and every chamfer transitions smoothly and naturally, making it look very high-end.
However, many Transsion users seemed a bit strange. They looked at the big screen and then at the color on their hands, and felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
It's somewhat like fruit, but it also has a feeling that transcends fruit.
Overall, it feels more high-end.
This wasn't just for their own comfort; after all, in terms of overall design, Transsion was still "learning" from Fruity.
Originally, Shenfei didn't intend to imitate fruit, but since so many design patents had already been registered, they couldn't avoid using them, so...
Cook, I've already used your Fruit 7 and 13.
The perspective slowly shifts to the back of the camera body, which is the highlight of the entire rendered video.
The last time, the iPhone 7 Plus was the first iPhone to feature a dual-camera module, breaking away from the previous single-camera layout.
The back features two 1200-megapixel cameras arranged in the upper left corner, and the racetrack-shaped design with horizontal side-by-side lenses has been used for many years.
However, Shen Fei felt that the horizontal arrangement was a bit ugly. He had other design options, so why did it have to be exactly the same? Therefore, he adopted the diagonal arrangement embedded in the square module of the Apple 13.
Two lenses were also introduced on the big screen: one was a 1200-megapixel Transsion self-developed new sensor, and the other was a 200-megapixel ultra-large sensor lens that had been previously leaked.
The overall imaging module is very luxurious!
The rendering of light and shadow is constantly changing. The lens module, flash, and noise-canceling microphone are arranged in an orderly manner, with precise and symmetrical opening positions. The back panel is clean and uncluttered, without any superfluous elements.
