Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 130 Lei Jun, who comes up with new tricks

Time quickly came to June 1th.

Kyoto, 798 Art District.

Half an hour before the press conference, a long queue had already formed at the entrance. The people in the queue were of diverse backgrounds, but mainly students.

Of course, there were also digital enthusiasts who flew in from other places.

Someone in the crowd held up a sign that read: "Mr. Lei, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

When Lei Jun saw the sign backstage, his eyes welled up slightly. It wasn't because he was moved by the fans' sentiments, but because his plan had finally succeeded.

He recalled that when he left Kingsoft in 2007, some people said he retired gracefully after achieving great success, while others said he made a wise exit from the limelight.

Only he himself knew that he simply wanted to change his path and forge a brighter one.

After all, Kingsoft's potential was too low to reach his ideal height. Three years later, he will stand here with thousands of people waiting for him. His future achievements will surely surpass Kingsoft's.

Lin Bin walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Nervous?"

Lei Jun retaliated with a backhand strike, then said with a smile, "Nervous? How could I be?"

Seeing his hands moving unconsciously and his eyes darting around, Lin Bin immediately realized he was talking nonsense: "Old Lei, we've known each other for so many years, there's no need for that in front of me."

"I'm not nervous at all, but I'm quite excited. This is our first-generation product."

…………

At 2 p.m., the lights gradually dimmed.

Many college students had already started shouting excitedly, and amidst their cheers, Lei Jun walked over from backstage.

A black T-shirt, dark blue jeans, and sneakers—exactly the same outfit Steve Jobs wore when he launched the iPhone in 07.

Some people in the audience recognized the joke and started making a fuss.

"Lei Jun! Lei Jun!"

"Steve Jobs created the smartphone, and Lei Jun from China brought down the price of smartphones."

"It's not about low price and low specs, but high price and low specs, kicking the price of high-quality smartphones back to 1999, setting an example for other companies."

Lei Jun stood in the center of the stage and waited for the noise to subside before speaking.

Good afternoon, everyone.

A huge logo appeared on the big screen: Rice.

The logo features a minimalist square outline with straight lines, devoid of any unnecessary curves. At the very center is an artistically designed rice character with uniformly thick strokes, perfectly aligned with the outer frame.

The striking red background and white lettering make it stand out among a host of rounded brand logos.

"Today, we are going to release a phone, a phone that belongs to us, the vast number of Mi Fans."

He glanced at the audience below the stage, which was followed by a huge cheer.

"That's right, it belongs to everyone. A phone born for enthusiasts."

The first slide of the PPT appeared on the big screen, with only one line of text: "Dami Mobile Phone 1".

The applause from the audience rang out for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

…………

"Since we're enthusiasts, let's skip the nonsense and look at the processor first."

A description of a chip appeared on the large screen.

"Qualcomm MSM8255, 1.25GHz single-core a8 architecture."

Lei Jun explained while turning the pages; the next section contained a detailed comparison of parameters.

MSM8255VSMTK6575

Qualcomm chips completely outperformed Qualcomm chips, with some parameters even being more than twice as good. These figures once again ignited a frenzy among the audience.

Some people ask, "Why not use a single-core 1GHz processor? Because it's not fast enough."

He pointed to the comparison chart on the screen: "This chip's performance is 40% higher than the MTK6575. It runs games faster, apps are faster, and browsing Weibo is just as fast."

He paused for a moment, looking affectionately at the fans below the stage: "Fast is the first requirement of enthusiasts."

Some people in the audience started cheering: "Mr. Lei is right, we support him."

"MIUI is indeed the best custom Android system I've ever experienced; it's a million times better than stock Android."

Lei Jun suddenly stopped on stage and looked at the large screen behind him:

"So how powerful is the actual performance of this mobile processor, which is the world's first to break the 1GHz barrier?"

Absolutely number one in the world. Some people might disagree with me, so let's run a benchmark test.

Let's run the benchmark test and see the final results. Is it good?

Wearing a T-shirt, Lei Jun pointed at the big screen and spoke with great enthusiasm.

The Super Rabbit started up on the big screen, and a few minutes later, the results appeared: a score of 2886.

Also appearing was the benchmark score of the Honor Play1, which was 1726 points.

"Are you all satisfied with this result?" Leibusi asked, pointing to the scores.

"Satisfied," said the audience member with a gleam in their eyes.

"As long as everyone is satisfied, that's good. We encountered many difficulties while tuning this chip, and we even wanted to give up."

But the thought of the expectant eyes of our fans gave us endless motivation, and in the end, we were able to develop this amazing CPU.

Its performance is 60% higher than the previous generation Qualcomm QSD8250, and 40% stronger than MediaTek's latest upgraded MTK6575.

In the mobile processor market, Qualcomm is the strongest, followed by Texas Instruments.

I don't know how to evaluate the MediaTek processor used by a certain so-called cost-effective manufacturer, but I know that it is just a processor used in counterfeit phones and low-end entry-level mobile phones.

A true flagship phone should use Qualcomm chips, not cheap MediaTek chips to fill out the gap.

He fired off a direct attack on stage, which made many student fans in the audience widen their eyes, their eyes full of admiration. Sure enough, if you're not convinced, you'll fight.

Lei Jun is really tough.

That's true, the MTK6573's specs are garbage, while the enhanced MTK675 from Huaxing is a bit better.

It still can't compare to Qualcomm.

Lei Jun laughed. What use is it for Honor to steal his plan? He has a million ways to stir up fans' emotions.

Imitators will only become stumbling blocks, and in the end, they will be trampled under his feet.

As for firing the cannon, they've already stolen our plans, so why bother saving face?

If you're not convinced, then let's fight!

As for MediaTek's stubborn refusal to lower prices, so be it if we offend them.

He switched the screen again; on the left was a competitor's 5-inch screen, and on the right was a Xiaomi 4.7-inch FWVGA screen.

Some people say the bigger the screen, the better, because that's how you enjoy watching videos.

But I have to ask you, when you watch a video, do you prefer better picture quality or a larger file size?

"Image quality!"

"We get both high-quality images and large screen sizes!" some college students exclaimed excitedly.

Lei Jun nodded: "Having both is the most difficult, but also the best choice."

Most manufacturers wouldn't do this, but we know what everyone needs, so we did. The 4.7-inch screen is only slightly smaller than our competitors' in terms of physical size, but our screen resolution is 720, which is more expensive and better than our competitors' 460 HD screens.

Our ultra-high-definition screen has almost doubled the effective pixels, which significantly reduces pixelation when watching videos, resulting in a much more comfortable overall viewing experience.

He paused briefly, his tone becoming more sarcastic.

"Moreover, this is a true color screen."

This technical term might be unfamiliar to some, so let me explain: it means the colors you see in the photo are the same as the colors I see.

Another round of applause erupted from the audience.
