Chapter 337 Wang Fan's Ambition (Second)
When Qualcomm CEO Albert Kingsley learned that Intel and Mortal Technology would jointly hold a new product launch event, his complexion changed instantly, and he felt even more uneasy.
Although Qualcomm is the absolute overlord in the field of mobile chips, even if the previous generation 810 was completely screwed, it is still nothing.
For the Snapdragon 820, the entire Qualcomm is full of confidence, and even in terms of performance, it can completely surpass the current most powerful Apple A9 chip.
As for Apple's A10, it will have to wait at least half a year.It can be said that it is not a product of an era.
Therefore, Albert Kingsley fully believes that once the Snapdragon 820 is released, it can change the decline of the 810 and sweep the entire chip field in an instant. At least for half a year, Qualcomm will be the No. [-] deservedly!
As for Intel, Albert Kingsley was even more indifferent.
I even hope that Intel will come up with a well-built mobile chip at this time, which will become a stepping stone for the 820.
But this time, Albert Kingsley was a little uncertain.
The reason is simple, just because there is an extra mortal technology!
Intel and Mortal Technology jointly held a press conference to release mobile chips!
This is clearly aimed at Qualcomm!
More importantly, the combination of the two will bring a lot of pressure to their Snapdragon 820!
Especially the role that mortal technology plays out of it.
Soon, Albert Kingsley immediately held an emergency meeting, and discussed with several major strategic advisors of Qualcomm how the products jointly released by Mortal Technology and Intel would have an impact on Qualcomm and the next-generation chip Snapdragon 820 .
Finally, the following conclusions were drawn:
The size of the impact mainly depends on how much role Mortal Technology has played in this cooperation, or how much they care about this cooperation?
If Mortal Technology doesn't care much, and this cooperation is only at the level of baseband chip cooperation, then Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 will be under pressure, but not too much.
With such cooperation, Mortal Technology dominates the baseband, even if it is completely ahead of Qualcomm, but it is almost impossible for the other parts of the entire SOC dominated by Intel to catch up with Qualcomm.
Therefore, it is at best a tie and will not have a disastrous impact on Qualcomm.
But if Mortal Technology is very concerned, it not only dominates the baseband, but also participates in the research and development of other parts of the entire SOC and plays an important role.
So for Qualcomm, it is likely to be an unimaginable blow.
Although Mortal Technology does not have much experience in the chip field, nor does it have much patent support, but Qualcomm is far more afraid of Mortal Technology than Intel.
No way, mortal technology never plays cards according to the rules.
Like baseband.
Has Mortal Technology ever made a baseband?
The result?
In just a few months, it directly took out the cutting-edge baseband that is more than 2 years ahead of Qualcomm, and directly became the absolute overlord in related fields!
More importantly, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.
As the CEO of Qualcomm, Albert Kingsley is very aware of how difficult it is to develop and produce chips, even if it is just a baseband chip.
You must know that China's SMIC, in order to achieve mass production of 28nm chips, has relied on external forces in multiple directions.
However, Mortal Technology has directly realized the mass production of 20nm chips without making any noise!
Although it is only a baseband chip, it at least shows that Mortal Technology's chip mass production technology has far surpassed SMIC and Qualcomm!
Therefore, not only Qualcomm is worried, but even Samsung and TSMC are highly vigilant about Mortal Technology, a company that has cutting-edge chip design capabilities and mass production capabilities for mainstream chips.
However, Intel is still so arrogant and arrogant, and still advertises itself as an industry leader for 10 years. Not only does it not guard against mortal technology, but it also cooperates with it.
Albert Kingsley couldn't help sneering, Krzanich really didn't care about anything else in order to enter the field of mobile chips.
Now Mortal Technology is helping Intel enter the field of mobile chips. Intel fully cooperates with Mortal Technology and even provides assistance in many ways.
Intel's approach, in the view of Albert Kingsley, is tantamount to breeding tigers.
In his perception, for Intel, mortal technology should be more dangerous than Qualcomm!
But Albert Kingsley was wrong. Wang Fan didn't need Intel's help at all, except for the two most advanced ASML EUV lithography machines.
And Mortal Technology helped Intel enter the mobile chip market, but because Mortal Technology's fab capacity is limited, it is unable to mass-produce chips for export.
So Wang Fan approached Intel and let Intel and Qualcomm fight.
When the battle situation between the two sides is almost the same, the production capacity of Mortal Technology's wafer factory has increased, and Wang Fan will stand up again...
It can be said that Qualcomm and Intel are both Wang Fan's prey.
The fields of mobile chips and PC chips are also Wang Fan's goals!
His ambition is not ordinary!
…………
HTC headquarters in Taiwan Island.
Wang Xuehong and a group of directors sat together to discuss the matter of technology investment.
As the head of HTC and the major shareholder of HTC, Wang Xuehong really doesn't want to get Mortal Technology as a shareholder, let alone hand over the rights to Mortal Technology!
But her recent performance made her very powerless.
Falling stock prices, shrinking market share, and disappearing profits...
Under many difficulties, HTC is facing more and more difficulties, and she, Wang Xuehong, is facing more and more pressure.
There are even rumors in the outside world: Wang Xuehong's best explanation to HTC is to sell HTC at the right time!
Such remarks almost defeated Wang Xuehong, even though she is a strong woman who has been in the business world for many years!
What made her even more speechless was that when she proposed to invite Mortal Technology to become a shareholder of HTC, or even hold HTC, the vast majority of shareholders would resist and oppose it.
But unexpectedly, the vast majority of people acquiesced, and even a few expressed their approval.
I'm afraid Wang Xuehong will never forget the overjoyed faces of those people. They desperately hope that mortal technology will become the master of HTC, while she, Wang Xuehong, is going to cool off!
Just like the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period, when Sun Quan asked his subordinates, Cao Cao came with an army, should we surrender or fight?
As a result, the vast majority of people said that Cao Cao was strong and strong, so it is better to surrender!
In the end, Wang Xuehong sighed: "There is no conclusion on this matter yet, let's see the joint press conference of Intel and Mortal Technology in 3 days, and then make a long-term plan!"
Such words are not very convincing, but Wang Xuehong's long-standing prestige still made everyone sit down and wait for the press conference three days later.
But many people know in their hearts that Mortal Technology's investment in HTC is basically settled, but it's hard to say how much share it will have and how much power it will have.
