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

Chapter 505 Lenovo's "Crossing the Line" to Support Rice

In the reception room, Meng Pu had already presented a gift.

He handed a chip design proposal to Yang Yuanqing!

"Mr. Yang, we really owe you a lot for what happened last time, but we also made you suffer quite a bit. So this time, to show our sincerity, we've specially sent you a latest design draft."

"What is this thing?" Yang Yuanqing was no longer as enthusiastic about the self-developed chip as before.

After all, last time he not only didn't gain any advantage, but he also almost lost his life.

"This is the Lenovo K2, a flagship chip comparable to the Snapdragon 801, with a benchmark score of over 4. It is no longer an entry-level product, but a true flagship chip."

"We're handing this chip over to Motorola now as an apology."

And it can even help boost your sales!

Yang Yuanqing took out the plan and looked at it. It was indeed a modified version of the Fire Dragon 801, and it used a 22nm process, which would significantly improve its performance.

If the 14nm process used in audio can be adopted, the performance of the chip will be significantly improved.

It is absolutely comparable to the Kirin 9 series.

Seeing this, he was clearly a little tempted.

This is much better than the original Lenovo K1, sister. That chip was originally a modified version of a scrapped 615 project.

This proposal did not appeal to him, after all, the number of phones equipped with the Lenovo K1 chip has only reached a little over 100 million units to date.

The so-called self-developed chips did not significantly help sales; instead, they earned the company a lot of criticism.

"Mr. Meng, we're old acquaintances, so let's not beat around the bush."

You should know very well how much impact the Lenovo K1 had on us back then.

This time you want us to...

Of course, it's not impossible for Lenovo to continue increasing its investment in semiconductors, but that's probably not enough!

After saying that, he made a gagging gesture, since it would be difficult for them to silence the gossip about this chip.

Meng Pu's expression changed slightly. He had thought the other party would know when to stop, but he hadn't expected them to be so greedy.

They've all been corrupted by Chuanyin.

"What are you saying, Mr. Yang? Although the Lenovo K2 chip can't compare to flagship chips, it's definitely a good chip in the terminal market, not to mention that it's a self-developed chip by Lenovo."

While the first generation's performance was indeed not strong, the second generation made leaps and bounds, better demonstrating your company's research and development capabilities.

Isn't this a good thing?

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yang Yuanqing's face also showed a bit of impatience.

I remember after I cleaned up their messes last time, Chuanyin's fans flooded his comment section with comments like "what a terrible son of a bitch" and "stepfather"...

It was all sorts of nasty words.

"If you want us to continue being your pawns and help Qualcomm suppress Transsion, that's fine with me."

Conditions need to be added.

"We can immediately announce the Lenovo K2, then immediately release a prototype, and release information to the public almost every month."

But you have to give us the global debut of the Ice Dragon 805.

Motorola can't afford to stay low-key any longer, or the brand will truly be ruined!

Meng Pu looked a little embarrassed; the other party's appetite was even bigger than he had imagined.

The iChill 805 is Qualcomm's flagship product.

The chip is a redesign based on the Snapdragon 801, replacing the 28nm process with a mix of TSMC's 22nm and Samsung's 20nm processes, while reducing core power and significantly optimizing heat dissipation.

Its performance is comparable to the Taishan 720 released in the second half of the year.

As for the launch rights, they were sold long ago—international launch for Sansang and domestic launch for Dami—so they could revitalize these two brands. But now…

"Impossible." Meng Pu refused outright. "The Fire Dragon 805 is our flagship product."

The starting lineup was decided long ago.

"Mr. Yang, your request is excessive; I have no right to apply for it at all."

"Is that too much?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled. This time, he was determined to get something out of Qualcomm.

"President Meng, you know the situation better than I do."

"The 14nm process at Taishan has been around for several years now, and your international supply chain..."

After saying that, he gave a meaningful smile. After all, Transmitting Voice also sells chips. As long as he doesn't offend them too much, he can consider it a warning to them.

Meng Pu clenched his fists, wishing he could smash the table to pieces and leave.

But considering the chip's performance is indeed quite powerful, entrusting it to Lenovo is the best option.

So he decided to be a Ninja Turtle for a while... just for a bit, and he'd get Lenovo back sooner or later.

"The Lenovo K2 chip, apart from its self-developed nature, will be criticized as soon as it is released."

After all, it can't even compare to a mid-range chip from Transsion, so how are we supposed to sell it?

Seeing that the other party was backing down, Yang Yuanqing decided to intensify his efforts.

"Okay, then we don't need to sell it!"

I will report this matter to Qualcomm headquarters and will certainly explain your difficulties.

After finishing his sentence, Meng Pu simply shook his hand and left.

"what?"

Yang Yuanqing was momentarily surprised, and then left.

Lenovo has taken such a huge blame, yet they're unwilling to grant them the first chip launch rights.

Yang Yuanqing, who was originally confident, was dumbfounded. He couldn't explain this to Boss Liu.

After all, it would cost Lenovo at least four or five hundred million US dollars to develop such a chip, meaning he rejected another product.

…………

That evening, after a meeting at Qualcomm headquarters, they finally decided... Meng Pu did the right thing.

Lenovo has been getting a bit cocky lately, even trying to put Qualcomm in a bad light. We absolutely cannot let this go unchecked.

Supporting a manufacturer to develop its own technology is easy!

So the next morning, Lei Jun received another call from Qualcomm.

"Mr. Lei, I heard that DaMi Company has been working on its own chip development recently. Is that true?"

"That's true. We've already invested 20 billion Chinese yuan and assembled a professional team."

Our first Powerchip is about to…

However, he was stopped by Meng Pu on the other end of the phone before he could finish speaking, as he didn't want to hear any more nonsense.

Qualcomm and Dami Semiconductor have entered into a deep collaboration by selling a 49% stake in Dami Semiconductor.

We can provide you with a complete ARM architecture license, and send a team of senior engineers to collaborate, providing full support from design to tape-out.

We'll help you build truly self-developed flagship chips!

We also have a self-developed chip for the Xuanjie O1. Mr. Lei, what do you think of this plan?

On the other end of the phone, Lei Jun pressed the mute button and then started cheering.

He was still figuring out how to cover up the lie about rice semiconductors, but now there's always a way out!

Transsion Semiconductor... never mind, we can't beat them... HiSilicon Semiconductor... with Qualcomm's help, Dada HiSilicon might actually have a chance.
