Chapter 214 Glory: I'm back again!
"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but he definitely won't be able to sleep tonight." Yu Dazui grinned.
He hadn't forgotten the relentless veiled criticism the other party had leveled after the Honor Play2 was released...
I don't know who removed the front camera from the Mi 2s, and the RAM was also reduced from 1GB to 256MB, a reduction of three-quarters.
At 2 p.m. sharp, the lights on site went out.
Accompanied by a beam of light, Yu Dazui strode forward.
Good afternoon, everyone!
A cheer erupted from the audience.
Today, Honor brings you two products: Honor 3 and Honor 3 Pro.
This is our brand new digital series. The pricing is very affordable.
The large screen simultaneously displayed renders of two mobile phones.
On the left is the Honor 3, with a four-inch screen and a rounded body that looks very comfortable. On the right is the Honor 3 Pro, with an upgraded 4.3-inch 720p screen, narrower bezels, and a significantly higher screen-to-body ratio.
The design department's own promotional video was also played.
Various core contents were also played:
The standard version features the Hisilicon K3V1 processor with a maximum clock speed of 1.08GHz and comes in a variety of vibrant colors.
But at this point in the video, some astute viewers frowned.
The frequency of the K3V1 seems a bit off; it's quite different from the frequency of the Honor Play2.
Soon, their attention was drawn to a brand new chip.
Taishan 600 processor.
Transsion Semiconductor's mid-range processor offers a 1.3x performance improvement over the MSM8255?
The huge 130% was written on the promotional material, which drew another round of cheers from the audience.
Transsion Optics' S20 sensor was also highlighted above.
After the promotional video finished playing, a huge round of applause erupted in the audience.
Yu Dazui took two steps on the stage and pulled out a cell phone.
Let's talk about the configuration first.
The Honor 3 is equipped with a Hisilicon K3v processor with a main frequency of 1.08GHz.
Viewers familiar with the digital industry should have already noticed that this processor has a lower clock speed compared to the version in the Honor Play.
Some viewers who weren't initially familiar with the topic saw everyone nodding and subconsciously nodded along with them.
"The low-health version?"
"That one core is probably a downclocked version."
"In any case, its performance must be better than the MSM8255."
"Then it still can't compare to the Mi 3. It's said that that phone is equipped with a dual-core MSM8260, a dual-core processor... its performance is directly superior."
On stage, Yu Dazui still had a confident smile on his face: "I know everyone might say that this is a processor with low health."
However, I can assure you that it is not a crippled version. In order to make the chip's performance more stable, we have deliberately downclocked it, and the actual performance difference is less than 5%.
As for whether this single-core processor is outdated, I can tell you with certainty:
No!"
The first thing that appeared on the big screen was two large red characters: No!
They then switched to a 28-nanometer process!
"The K3V1 was introduced at the last press conference; it uses a 28nm process."
This process means lower power consumption, less heat generation, and longer battery life.
All our competitors are still using 45nm or even 55nm chips.
Then they keep focusing on clock speed and performance, and constantly run benchmarks, making it seem like they have real strength, but that's just taking advantage of ordinary people's lack of technical knowledge.
Another commotion erupted from the audience.
Meanwhile, Xiaobai, who was watching the live stream, immediately edited this segment and uploaded it to a video platform...
The title is: Yu Dazui "has no substance" compared to Lei Jun.
The comparison chart displayed on the large screen showed that the power consumption curve of the K3V1 was significantly better than that of Qualcomm's equivalent 8255.
Compared to the 8255, its older brother, the 8260, also known as the Fire Dragon S3 processor, was also listed on the big screen.
In terms of performance, the Qualcomm S3 is slightly ahead of the K3v1, with a difference of about 10% in actual performance.
Qualcomm's dual-core processor is quite powerful, offering a 100% improvement in CPU performance and a 115% improvement in GPU performance compared to the 8255.
Whether it's games or UI animations, everything will be smoother; this is the flagship processor in the Android camp this year.
However, compared to the K3V1, although there is a theoretical difference of about 10%, when running games, the performance advantage of the Fire Dragon is actually somewhat offset by the K3V1.
When running 2D games like Fruit Ninja, both games ran smoothly. However, when running demanding 3D games like Shadowgun, the S3 experienced some lag, while the K3V1 handled them effortlessly.
A round of applause erupted from the audience. Indeed, the effect of stacking core components is real, but it depends on what it's compared to.
After that introduction, the Honor 3 Pro appeared on the big screen.
Yu Dazui's face once again showed an expression of being far ahead.
"Honor 3 Pro is the world's first to feature the Taishan 600 mid-range processor from the Taishan series."
"This processor also uses a 28nm process and its performance is 30% better than the K3V1."
This processor was developed by Transsion specifically for the mid-range market and is currently exclusively used by Honor. Interested manufacturers can contact them.
A mischievous laugh came from the audience, and the live stream chat was filled with question marks.
You can play it like this?
What should have been a great product launch turned into a chip launch for Transsion.
Is there no law anymore? Even though you're all in cahoots, there are different situations.
At the same time, at ZTE Corporation, the purchasing director immediately instructed his subordinates to buy tickets. He needed to contact purchasing immediately and secure the Taishan 600.
After all, Taishan 900 is a legendary figure in the community.
This processor has already proven its strength in chip design, and now we have the 600, although it is considered mid-to-low end.
But even when used in the market, it's still a genuine flagship processor, something ZTE can't afford to miss.
"Regarding memory and storage..." Yu Dazui slowed down his speech and smiled, which gave Lei Jun, who was switching screens, a strange feeling.
"The entire Honor 3 series starts with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage?"
A loud round of applause erupted from the audience.
Even now, budget phones still come standard with 256MB of RAM. Some foreign brands are even still using 128MB. 512MB is definitely a flagship configuration.
"As everyone knows, memory prices have skyrocketed recently," Yu Dazui's voice turned serious. "Some of our competitors were clamoring for widespread adoption of large memory modules when market prices were low."
Shouting that they're going to take down everyone?
As a result, when prices rose, they quietly cut the memory requirement and tried to fool people with smaller memory modules.
