In the field of chips, MediaTek has always been suppressed by Qualcomm, but this situation may change.
Qualcomm's two consecutive generations of flagship chips have flipped over, giving MediaTek the opportunity to overtake in curves.
MediaTek's killer trick is the new generation of Tianji brothers: Tianji 8000, Tianji 8100 and Tianji 9000.
Due to the complexity of the process, the difficulty of mass production is extremely high, Tianji 9000 has been in a difficult production state of capacity climbing, said to be the first oppo, the result of a press conference down, even the prototype was not released.
But fortunately, Tianji 8100 is coming, and this time it is a real start, and Redmi, known as the king of cost performance, took the lead in getting this qualification. Redmi President Lu Weibing personally went to the platform, which shows that the relationship between Redmi and MediaTek is indeed very close.
Then again, can this Tianji 8100 chip really play?
Judging from the results tested by the famous evaluation agency Geek Bay, it is indeed very powerful.
In terms of performance, The Tianji 8100 is close to the level of Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 888 last year, but the energy consumption ratio is much lower, and it is not easy to heat up and burn.
As we all know, when playing games, Snapdragon 888 has to reduce the frequency and brightness because it can't stand the huge performance power consumption, resulting in a string of good-looking numbers that can't play its strength.
If tianji 8100 can solve this problem perfectly, it is indeed very powerful.
Then again, why is Tianji 8100 so capable of playing? One of the most important reasons is that it is on the TSMC 5 nanometer process, rather than Samsung's 5 nanometer process.
In the same process, TSMC is much better than Samsung, which can be seen from the gap between the Kirin 9000 and the Snapdragon 888. Kirin 9000 took three years, or the first echelon in the chip, while the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8gen1, but because of the use of Samsung's process and suffered two consecutive generations of overturning.
What is even more rare is that the Tianji 8100 did not strengthen the x1 super core in order to enhance the performance like the Snapdragon 888, but chose a more secure combination of four A78 large cores and four A55 small cores. This ensures a continuous output of performance without having to degrade performance due to temperature control.
On the whole, Tianji 8100 is definitely the most potential star chip this year.
The only remaining issue is the price. In the end, Qualcomm chose Samsung just to save a sum of money from the chip, and gave up the slightly higher price of TSMC.
Now that MediaTek has chosen TSMC, does that mean it's no longer as cheap as it used to be? It's really possible. The flagship machine equipped with Tianji 9000, which was first launched by the Green Factory, reached the price of 5799 yuan, and the Tianji 8100 as a weak chip will not be too cheap. After all, whether it is Qualcomm or MediaTek, which chip manufacturer wants to maximize profits, who does not want to sell at a sky-high price to return to the capital early?
However, the red rice turmoil may change this situation appropriately.
As we all know, Redmi is the most cost-effective brand in domestic mobile phones, it has been committed to creating a good product that is cheap and good for users to afford, and its relationship with MediaTek can be said to be quite iron. As long as the other party releases the product, its president must arrive at the platform early to endorse it. With such a relationship, coupled with the extremely high shipment volume of Redmi itself, you can definitely get a most favorable price.
