Qualcomm antitrust After a long wait finally have the results, however, Qualcomm's troubles far from over. Qualcomm's latest high-end mobile processor Xiaolong 810 since last year to spread the overheating problem, not only for Samsung's latest flagship Galaxy S6 renounce the use, but also to the biggest rival MediaTek chance to catch up.
Hot smart phones also allow consumers familiar with the two mobile phone chip maker Qualcomm and MediaTek. Qualcomm occupy the high-end market, while MediaTek burgeoned in the low-end market. However, the current situation seems to be some changes. The main reason comes from the latest mobile phone chips Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 as the latest high-end mobile phone chips, Qualcomm's shoulder occupied the high-end market of the task. However, prior to listing on the spread of Xiaolong 810 overheating problem, which is not only plagued by Qualcomm, will also affect the large customers Samsung. Every year, a new generation of Samsung's Galaxy series flagship phone, equipped with the latest high-end chips Qualcomm is also a big selling point of the Samsung Galaxy flagship phone. Therefore, Xiaolong 810 overheating problems make both companies in trouble. Qualcomm, although the official release Xiaolong 810 overheating has been resolved, but have not yet solved the overheating problem but also interspersed among the news, Samsung is more concerned about the outside world whether Samsung will abandon Xiaolong 810, and even some speculation that Samsung will release a new delay machine. Samsung Galaxy S6 approaching release, the news that Qualcomm will provide a customized version of the Xiaolong 810 Galaxy S6, but the news was denied, and was followed by more mass the more abundant use Samsung's own Exynos chip news. Wait until the 2015 MWC, Samsung released its own schedule Galaxy S6 latest flagship phone, it is equipped with its own Exynos chip.
As the second-largest customer of Qualcomm, Samsung, equipped with self-developed chips in their own flagship phone, Samsung, this not only reflects its own strength, but also conducive to the development of the Samsung smartphone. But Qualcomm is concerned, but lost big customers. Qualcomm suffered a Samsung abandoned, but still retain that no alternative options mobile phone manufacturers, but the situation is not ideal. LG G Flex CES 2015 at the release of two became the first mobile phone equipped with Xiaolong 810, but after the release of existence encounter runtime body overheating. In addition, the new flagship HTC MWC 2015 after the release of the HTC One M9 release also came fuselage overheating problems, directed at Xiaolong 810. Visible, Xiaolong 810 problem has not been solved. We are also among the action Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 is easy to see Qualcomm headache. In carrying Xiaolong 810 processor, a large number of mobile phones has not listed, Qualcomm launched an upgraded version of emergency Xiaolong 815 processor. According to the test report seemed to prove the processor overheating problem has been solved, in order to be able to get rid of overheating problems after 815 Xiaolong, Qualcomm has announced the end product Xiaolong temperature test scores 615 and 620 Xiaolong, these two actions can To see Qualcomm Snapdragon Qualcomm 810 overheating to enormous problems.
In Xiaolong 810 overheating problems persist so long after, why not help produce high pass such a powerful technology and leading companies such problems will arise questions. To find the answer to this question must return to the MWC 2015 Qualcomm's new conference. Qualcomm has released the latest generation of processors - Snapdragon processor Snapdragon 820 (Xiaolong 820), this processor will use the new 64-bit CPU core customization. Qualcomm did not disclose details, merely confirmed the new kernel is called Kryo, custom chip instead of the existing ARM cores. Kryo for 64 core, 14nmFinFET process, the second half of 2015 to begin production samples. Qualcomm did not disclose details and the approximate performance is the answer of the problem.
New core Qualcomm seemingly suddenly, but the industry has been concerned about the information if it is, then its not strange. Before the MWC 2015, Qualcomm released roadmap, we mentioned a place called "Taipan" core. According to Qualcomm's roadmap, this new version of the core is divided, ready to use on a variety of processors. The so-called Kryo, in fact, before the road map inside the Taipan, Taipan Xiaolong 820 is inside the high-end version TS2. Qualcomm ARM traditionally is unlikely to ignore the public version, formerly scorpion own core, and later the snake ring core. Until Xiaolong snake ring 805 is an improved version of the core. And this is the core of the ring snake developed early 2012, is indeed very old. According to the normal development progress, Kryo (Taipan) core should be around 2014 appeared time in the second half 2015 was listed late. Why postpone it? Apple released the first "Mobile 64 core" in the second half of 2013, so everyone was shocked. In the second half of 2014, ARM instruction set and the new ARMv8 processor beautifully, A57 ARM performance is also good, which makes high-pass into an awkward position. According to the original plan, the new listing on Qualcomm generation behind its competitors, the face will be difficult to see, but recycled redesigned to be delayed for a long time. Desperation, Qualcomm put down the face, bite the bullet and use the public version of the ARM, this is what we see today Xiaolong 810 processor. In this rush into the design of Xiaolong 810 overheating problems now seems it is not particularly surprising.
In addition to Samsung's large customers were abandoned, another big problem is faced by Qualcomm, MediaTek's competitors to catch up. Although MediaTek due to technical problems in the market's status is in the low end, but the face of the plight faced by Qualcomm, MediaTek Qualcomm catch speeding up the pace again. DIGITIMES Research believes that MediaTek 2015 will be a continuation of 2014's product distribution, the high and low end will have a corresponding product, at the end it will launch high-end real definition on for the fight against Qualcomm, but because of the high-pass pricing strategy in 2015 is quite radical , then MediaTek in terms of price adjustment will follow the footsteps of Qualcomm, but DIGITIMES Research believes MediaTek will add features and services more competitive in the product, in order to improve the overall competitiveness. In addition, we see MediaTek Helio released high-end brands in the MEC, more recently, in the collection of Chinese name for this brand. Therefore, the strategy MediaTek want to keep up with the rapid pace of Qualcomm, MediaTek in the low-end chip market partners in the future will also become a high-end chip MediaTek customers. From these analyzes is not difficult to see that MediaTek 2015 stick in the end cost-effective positioning chips outside, catching Qualcomm also its strategy.
Xiaolong 810 overheating problems to Qualcomm brings customers and rivals Samsung abandon MediaTek accelerated catch-up problems. Although, as has the technological advantage and a solid occupy the high-end market crisis is far from Qualcomm, but we can see in the ever-changing market, their problems will bring a series of problems.
Hot smart phones also allow consumers familiar with the two mobile phone chip maker Qualcomm and MediaTek. Qualcomm occupy the high-end market, while MediaTek burgeoned in the low-end market.
