Chapter 796: Grandmist 9

The conference took a break at noon, and it was midnight in the United States, but many high-level executives at Intel were not sleepy now.

Fighting for craftsmanship, losing, fighting for special chips, losing, and most importantly, losing dignity.

In the era of Intel and Microsoft, no one dared to ignore Intel to solve the problem of chip adaptation and establish chip standards. Even when IBM and Intel are fighting hard, even when AMD surpasses Intel in some fields, the bottom line will not be. Breaking through, Intel's strength is no longer a problem with the product itself.

However, Meng Qian touched this bottom line today. What makes Intel even more uncomfortable is that so many companies are willing to follow Meng Qian to disgust themselves.

This is a display of strength, but also a display of influence.

Intel's Krzynick made a phone call to Kazuo Hirai in the middle of the night, "Mr. Hirai, I heard that Sony has passed the in-depth cooperation review of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Strategic Alliance. It seems that we can have more room for cooperation in the future. , when will Mr. Hirai be free to sit down?"

Krzanik deliberately mentioned the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Strategic Alliance, the world's most important organization that is firmly in the hands of American companies, and wanted to see Kazuo Hirai's reaction.

"We are also looking forward to further cooperation with Intel in the future." Kazuo Hirai's official response, "This time we have become an in-depth partner of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology Strategic Alliance, thanks to the previous history of cooperation with Intel."

"Sony's joining is also our honor. Oh, by the way, I haven't heard Mr. Hirai mention it before about the Enhanced Artificial Intelligence Chip Alliance."

"I thought Gale Group would invite Intel."

"That's right, the Dafeng Group used to initiate international organizations and always contacted us." Krzanik continued, "But this time the Dafeng Group didn't talk to us about it.

Mr. Hirai, what does Meng Qian mean? "

"The Augmented Artificial Intelligence Chip Alliance is an alliance that focuses on AI chips. Maybe Meng Qian thinks this is not an area that Intel is good at?" Kazuo Hirai knew what Krzanik was thinking, so he simply pretended to be stupid.

Seeing Kazuo Hirai's attitude, Krzanick simply said clearly, "Mr. Hirai, if Dafeng Group really disrupts the chip rules, it will be a trouble for the entire industry. Don't you think the current Is Meng Qian already a little too crazy?"

"Meng Qian is indeed a very crazy person in the pursuit of technology." Kazuo Hirai answered irrelevantly.

"Mr. Hirai seems to appreciate Meng Qian very much."

"Intel and Gale Group are both great companies on this planet that will definitely be remembered by history. In fact, I think Mr. Krzanik can get in touch with Mr. Meng more. The whole world should be looking forward to the in-depth cooperation between your two companies. "

Realizing that Kazuo Hirai is a good Tai Chi player, and that it is impossible for Intel to turn against Sony directly, Krzanik could only hang up the phone politely, but wrote Sony's name on the "small book".

Over the course of the night that followed, Krzannik started making phone call after phone call.

Krzanik was busy inquiring about the attitudes of global companies, and the afternoon of the first day of the Gale Global Developers Conference also came.

The most anticipated in the afternoon is naturally Hongmeng 9.

Meng Qian also appeared on the stage as always, standing for Hongmeng is something Meng Qian must stick to.

"The confidentiality work of Hongmeng 9 this year is obviously not very good." Meng Qian stood on the stage and expressed helplessness, "The core optimization of Hongmeng 9 was spoiled this morning, and it was still spoiled by our company executives gone."

The people who reacted laughed together, and Meng Qian took advantage of everyone's laughter to open the PPT, "Then let's take a look at other changes in Hongmeng 9. I won't talk about system optimization today, let's go first Look at battery life issues.

Hongmeng 8 has been rejected for a whole year because of the battery life problem, so we have been thinking about how to solve the battery life problem this year. Let's look at a combination. "

What appears on the big screen is a 4000mAh (4400mAh) battery + 50W super fast charge.

"In this era when the battery life of mobile phones is becoming more and more important, the battery revolution has been delayed. Although major manufacturers around the world are spending money on research and development, the frustrating thing is that the revolution in battery technology may be faster than expected. Come later.

Whether it is a supercapacitor or a graphene battery, they are still lying in the laboratory of our Dafeng Group, and there is still some time before they will be launched.

So what can we do before the disruptive battery revolution arrives? We thought of a transitional solution, large-capacity battery + super fast charging. "

As a reborn, Meng Qian is very aware of the difficulties in battery technology breakthroughs, and will not put all his eggs in one basket to wait for the battery revolution. He also knows that the best transition solution for future generations is large-capacity batteries + super fast charging. In 2015, this trend began to become clear. OPPO also called out the classic advertisement of "charging for five minutes, talking for two hours" in 2015.

Therefore, Dafeng Group is ready to do the best it can achieve in this transition plan.

With a large battery + fast charging, even if a 4K screen is used, even if the power consumption of the processor increases, Hongmeng 9 can still achieve 24 hours of battery life under light use, and can meet the fast charging demand of 1 hour full charge.

"After talking about the battery, let's go back to the processor. Hongmeng 9 corresponds to our M9 processor, and the biggest breakthrough of the M9 processor is just like the spoiler, AI enhancement.

One of the purposes of AI enhancement is naturally the personal artificial intelligence that we will officially launch at the end of the year, but such powerful AI functions are not purely for personal artificial intelligence.

After the AI ​​performance of the M9 is greatly improved, the speed and accuracy of the recently controversial facial recognition payment will be greatly improved. At the same time, we officially put forward a concept, mobile phone AI photography.

The concept of mobile phone AI photography has been hyped in the past two years, but we can see that the current mobile phone AI photography is actually software-based AI photography. To some extent, this is a false concept.

Why do you say that, because the software-based AI photography effect is not always satisfactory, and the real AI photography is processor-based, because only a powerful AI processor can provide powerful computing power.

As a company that also makes SLRs, at least so far we have always firmly believed that mobile phones will never truly surpass SLRs. Extreme optical effects must require complex optical structures. The small body of a mobile phone cannot support such a complex of optical structure.

Therefore, mobile phone AI photography really needs to be professional and requires powerful algorithm computing power, which is not as simple as imagined.

Just like the night shot function. "

Meng Qian showed the night shooting results of several AI photography apps at the scene, which can be described as unsightly, but using the AI ​​photography of Hongmeng 9 for night shooting, the effect is very good.

"The reason why we can have such a breakthrough in photography is that our AI photography function is a chip-based technology, which starts from the underlying chip to add AI processing capabilities layer by layer. It can ensure the real-time and security of camera tasks, and can also Meet various real-time unknown needs.

Hongmeng 9 is equipped with a 40-megapixel super wide-angle triple camera, which can realize more than ten commonly used photography functions such as intelligent face tracking, human-view separation, dynamic blurring, and scene recognition.

At the same time, we believe that AI photography will not make you a master photographer, but AI photography can record a better life.

Not everyone has the time, energy or even the will to become a professional photographer. For more ordinary people, we just hope to take more beautiful photos and leave better memories. This is the essence of mobile phone AI photography. value.

And our AI function can be turned on or off freely, and everything is up to you. "

The enhanced AI performance of the chip, the battery transition solution, the formal introduction of the AI ​​photography concept, and regular system upgrades allow Hongmeng 9 to continue to maintain its leading position in the industry.

Also because of this lead, the price of Hongmeng 9 is still high. "The starting price of Hongmeng 9 in China is 5999, and the starting price in Omi is basically maintained at around 1399m.

The price is still our Hongmeng unchangeable insistence, but considering the needs of consumers, we will launch another product this year, Hongmeng mini.

Regarding the Hongmeng mini, I saw that it has actually been exposed on the Internet, so I will not keep it secret.

To put it simply, this is a simplified version of Hongmeng. Hongmeng mini will have the same code name as Hongmeng. For example, although this year is the first generation of Hongmeng mini, the product name of this Hongmeng mini is actually Hongmeng mini9.

Why should we pay attention to such a detail?

It is because although the hardware of Hongmeng mini will be simplified to a certain extent, it is definitely not an old machine that is newly sold. The most important manifestation is that the chips of each generation of Hongmeng mini will use the same processor as Hongmeng.

In other words, Hongmeng mini9 will also use the M9 processor. "

Applause broke out at the scene after Meng Qian's pause. The market's speculation about the Hongmeng mini is really that the processor is castrated or the old machine is newly sold, but just one processor synchronization can smash many rumors.

In the following parameter display, everyone saw the downgrade of Hongmeng mini9. The screen is no longer a 4K screen, not even a 2K screen, the battery capacity is only 2200mAh, and there is only one camera.

Although there are many castrations, due to the absolute leadership of Hongmeng and the fact that the two big heads of the processor system have not been castrated, it is comparable to other brands of flagship phones.

There are indeed a lot of discounts on the price. You can buy Hongmeng mini9 at a starting price of 4599 in China, while the lowest price abroad can reach 999 meters gold. According to the situation of different countries, the price reduction range is between 20% and 28%.

In general, this time the overall price reduction abroad will be larger than that in China, which is also in compliance with the analysis of big data. After all, Hongmeng's profit margins abroad are much larger than those in China.

And Hongmeng's reduction to this price will have a huge damage to the iPhone.

This price is still a little expensive compared to Huawei ZTE, but it is just stuck on the price level of Apple.

European users are already gearing up.

"For the same money, why don't I buy a Hongmeng? At least it's a Hongmeng, and it's still a new machine."

"The key is that although Hongmeng mini9 is a castrated version, its configuration is estimated to be no worse than the latest iPhone 6s."

"Hongmeng mini9 uses the M9 processor, which alone is worth buying. I'm looking forward to the PA at the end of the year."

European users are looking forward to it, and Chinese users are also looking forward to it. Anyway, it is 1400 yuan cheaper, especially for users who just plan to change their mobile phones this year, Hongmeng mini9 has become a good choice.

"Are you looking forward to our Hongmeng 9 and Hongmeng mini9?"

"Looking forward!" The scene was very cooperative.

Meng Qian faced the camera with a smile, "Then let's play with the big ones."

Thanks to X Fantasy X for the reward!
