#842 - 5G
Although next year is the year 5G officially arrives!
However, in the first half of the year, basically no mobile phone manufacturers will release 5G mobile phones. They will have to wait until the pilot cities are completely determined in the second half of the year!
Only then will all mobile phone manufacturers truly launch 5G mobile phones!
This also means that among the mobile phones released in the first half of next year, there will be no mobile phones equipped with external basebands!
Even if the mobile phone uses the Azure Dragon 860 processor, it will not be equipped with the Hongmeng K100 external baseband chip!
Next year, Huaxing Semiconductor's Azure Dragon digital series processors will also bring two other processors for mid- to low-end mobile phones!
The Azure Dragon 760 processor and the Azure Dragon 660 processor!
However, to be honest, the upgrade range of these two processors is not very high!
Compared to last year's mid- to low-end processors, these two processors do not have much improvement!
"This Azure Dragon 760 processor uses the same 4+4 architecture as the Azure Dragon 860 processor!"
"It just changed the 4 A76 large cores into four A76 medium cores and four A55 small cores!"
The A76 architecture can be said to be the most mature public version architecture now!
It is divided into three different cores: A76 large core, A76 medium core, and A76 small core!
For example, the HiSilicon Kirin 810 processor launched by Huawei in its previous life used two A76 large cores plus six A55 small cores!
And the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor only uses the full H6 core!
Specifically, one A76 large core, one A76 medium core, and 6 A76 small cores!
This Azure Dragon 760 processor is equivalent to a low-profile version of the Azure Dragon 860 processor!
And its performance is equivalent to the level of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 processor in its previous life!
The performance of the Azure Dragon 760 processor is very small compared to the previous generation Azure Dragon 750 processor!
The improvement in CPU and GPU is only about 5%!
Of course, this processor has a huge improvement among the current mid- to low-end processors!
This has also led to the fact that many chip manufacturers' high-end processors are not selling well!
However, with the attention of various manufacturers, starting next year, the vast majority of manufacturers will begin to temporarily inhibit the upgrade of mid- to low-end processors!
Start considering using the toothpaste squeezing strategy to face all the current mid- to low-end consumers!
Although this Azure Dragon 760 processor has not been greatly improved in CPU and GPU!
However, it has indeed made great upgrades in other aspects!
First of all, this processor has also added a core in terms of ISP!
This also enables the mobile phone equipped with this processor to have a certain improvement in the photo level algorithm!
At the same time, this processor has improved by about 70% in AI algorithm compared to the previous generation!
Now this processor in the AI algorithm, basically can be compared with last year's flagship-level processor, Azure Dragon 850 processor!
In addition to these improvements, the biggest improvement of this processor is in terms of power consumption and heat generation!
After all, this processor now uses Huaxing Semiconductor's latest 7-nanometer process!
In terms of energy efficiency ratio, this processor has improved by nearly 50% compared to the previous generation, and the heat generation is also controlled more ideally!
In short, this time Huaxing Semiconductor's overall improvement in mid-range processors is not very large!
Now that mid-range processors are using the toothpaste squeezing method, then low-end processors will squeeze even more toothpaste!
To be honest, the difference between this year's Huaxing Semiconductor's mid- to low-end processors is not very large!
In terms of running scores, the running score of Huaxing Semiconductor's low-end processor has been able to reach about 220,000 points!
However, the running score of the mid-range processor has only reached about 290,000 points!
To be honest, the gap between low-end processors and mid-range processors is not very large!
Many netizens even think that this year's Huaxing Semiconductor's mid-range processor and low-end processor are very similar!
Now Huaxing Semiconductor's low-end processor, compared to the low-end Azure Dragon 650 processor, may have squeezed out even less toothpaste!
"This time our Azure Dragon 660 processor uses one A76 large core, three A76 small cores, and four A55 small cores!"
"The improvement of this Azure Dragon 660 processor in CPU and GPU is only about 3%!"
This time Huaxing Semiconductor's low-end processor for the low-end market, Azure Dragon 660 processor!
The performance improvement of this processor compared to the Azure Dragon 650 processor can be said to be very small!
Even if it is described by running scores, this processor is difficult to reach even 250,000 points!
At most, it will only reach about 240,000 points!
Huaxing Semiconductor's Azure Dragon 660 processor can be said to be squeezing toothpaste in name and in fact!
Now the mid-range processor, Azure Dragon 760 processor, has already started squeezing toothpaste!
This low-end processor naturally has to continue squeezing toothpaste!
"Although this processor does not have much improvement in performance, this time we use the 10-nanometer process!"
"In terms of power consumption and energy efficiency ratio, it has improved by nearly 35%, and the AI computing power has also improved by about 45%!"
Zhang Yu also knows the current situation, it is impossible for low-end processors and mid-range processors to have more improvements!
After all, too much improvement will inevitably make the situation of high-end processors very bad!
Therefore, the toothpaste squeezed by Huaxing Semiconductor in the mid- to low-end processors this time is also a last resort!
However, this time the Azure Dragon digital high-end series processor has a very good improvement in performance!
Although the Azure Dragon math mid- to low-end processor has some squeeze in performance, it also has very good improvements in other aspects!
"How is the design of the Azure Dragon Z400 processor?"
Lu Haifeng looked at the Azure Dragon digital processor designed by Huaxing Semiconductor for next year, and he was quite satisfied!
However, what he is more concerned about now is how the Azure Dragon Z series processor is designed!
After all, this processor can be said to be launched before March and April next year!
This processor is also the earliest flagship-level processor that Huaxing Semiconductor will face consumers next year!
The Azure Dragon Z series processor is also a sub-flagship processor between the flagship processor and the mid-range processor!
Now the performance of this processor is second only to the Azure Dragon 8 series processor and the Kunpeng A series processor!
"This time our Azure Dragon Z400 processor uses a 1+3+4 architecture!"
"This processor is different from the Azure Dragon 860 processor and the Kunpeng A6 processor!"
"This processor uses one A76 large core, three A76 medium cores, and four A55 small cores!"
