Yesterday, there was a news in the digital technology circle that Lei Jun, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, had withdrawn from the position of legal representative, executive director or chairman of a number of Xiaomi affiliated companies.
These include Guangdong Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Xiaomi Information Service Co., Ltd., Zhuhai Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., Xiaomi Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. and so on.
In this regard, many netizens joked that this is mainly because of the performance and power consumption of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8gen1.
At the beginning of the month, Qualcomm officially released a new generation of high-end flagship chip - Snapdragon 8gen1, and the official Chinese called "the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform".
At the Snapdragon 8gen1 new core conference, Lei Jun personally carried the video message and strongly announced that the Xiaomi Mi 12 will be the world premiere.
The result is extremely embarrassing, Snapdragon 8gen1 global debut "name" was taken down by Lenovo Moto, On December 8, Lenovo took the lead in releasing a model equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8gen1 chip - Moto edge X30, and also gave a shocking price, starting from 2999 yuan, which is cheaper than many Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 870 models currently on sale.
In addition, according to the news of the network, the new Realme GT 2 series machine will be released on the afternoon of December 20, the pre-sale will be opened at 17:00 on the same day, and the official sale will be launched at 10:00 a.m. on December 28.
The new Realme GT 2 series machine will also be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8gen1 chip.
In other words, Xiaomi's "global premiere Snapdragon 8gen1", the first one was lonely, not only failed to make a global debut, but even the domestic debut was not done, according to the timetable that broke out, Xiaomi 12 has become the third domestic model equipped with Snapdragon 8gen1.
Isn't that embarrassing?
In addition, even if the Moto edge X30 is only on sale on the 15th of this month, many digital institutions got the media machine before the conference and gave the relevant video at the first time after the conference.
According to their actual measurements, Snapdragon 8gen1 GPU this time "stepped on the toothpaste", the performance improvement is larger, but the CPU improvement is more touching, almost in place, more difficult to accept is the Snapdragon 8gen1 "fire dragon" is still the same, high-load game manufacturers test process, the fuselage temperature is directly soared to 61 ° C, power consumption is higher than the previous generation of "fire dragon" Snapdragon 888, simply unbelievable.
Of course, the edge X30 actual measurement is not ideal, and it is not all the pot of Snapdragon 8gen1, Moto itself is also a greater responsibility, edge X30 fuselage inside only a pitiful amount of graphene stickers and copper foil, not even a liquid cold copper tube, in order to grab the first start, it is also absolute.
Based on this, after Lei Jun successively withdrew from a number of Xiaomi-affiliated companies, many netizens joked that Lei Jun was "fleeing after embarrassment".
Xiaomi's official explanation for this is that Lei Jun's withdrawal from affiliated companies is a normal change, Lei's energy this year is mainly focused on car-related things, and the work and responsibilities related to the mobile phone business have been shared by other core executives of Xiaomi.
In other words, Lei Jun has delegated his power and given the mobile phone business to other core executives, and he has gone to the smart electric vehicle business himself.
In March this year, Lei Jun announced at the Xiaomi Spring New Product Conference that Xiaomi officially entered the field of intelligent electric vehicles, and said that car manufacturing will be the last time in his life to start a business, and he is willing to bet on all the honors and achievements he has achieved to fight for Xiaomi Cars.
