On April 25, the vivo X80 series was officially released. At this point, vivo has become the third mobile phone brand to launch the Tianji 9000 model after OPPO and Redmi. What is more special is that there are two Tianji 9000 models in the vivo X80 series - vivo X80 and vivo X80 Pro Tianji version, and it is also equipped with vivo self-developed image chip V1+.
It is understood that for the X80 series, MediaTek and vivo have carried out in-depth cooperation. A few days ago, MediaTek and vivo held a vivo dual-core imaging technology communication meeting, revealing more details.
Regarding the reason why Vivo launched the Flagship of Tianji 9000, Yang Qing, product manager of the X series, said that the performance of Tianji 9000 in performance and energy efficiency is excellent, and Vivo and MediaTek have long-term cooperation experience.
As for the Launch of the Vivo X80 series after the Tianji 9000 model of youshang, the explanation given by Vivo is that they have a more refined polishing of the chip, and one of the important tasks is to make the Tianji 9000 better adapt to the self-developed chip V1+.
We all know that as a newly debuted flagship product, one of the important selling points of the vivo X80 series is the self-developed image chip V1+ that is available throughout the series, which differentiates at the image level.
Yang Qing said that MediaTek and vivo have made special optimizations for vivo V1+, such as through the AI computing capabilities of Tianji 9000 APU, interlinking multiple internal and external processors to work together, and working with GPUs to complete game screen rendering, thereby releasing GPU load.
Li Junnan, technical planning director of MediaTek's wireless communication division, said that for the cooperation of vivo V1+, Tianji 9000 and vivo V1+ are deeply integrated, and a lot of research and development manpower has been invested, and the combination of Tianji 9000 high-performance APU, hardware HDR and V1 has realized image functions such as black light night vision.
From the dynamics of the domestic mobile phone industry in recent years, self-developed chips have become a trend, and mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own chips in the fields of power IC, image, image and other segments, and special SoCs have formed a combination. At present, in this self-research trend, this form of vivo X80 will be more common.
As the first true flagship chip launched by MediaTek, the Tianji 9000 has now opened up the situation and obtained relatively good market feedback. For mobile phone manufacturers and ordinary consumers, more choices and fuller competition in the flagship chip and flagship mobile phone market will bring a better industry ecology.
Zhang Genghao, product planning director of MediaTek's Wireless Communication Division, revealed in response to media questions that the flagship product is planned about once a year. This means that the successor of the Tianji 9000 chip is not particularly far away from now. With the foundation of Tianji 9000, the next generation of Tianji flagship chips, it is estimated that more mobile phone manufacturers will participate in it, bringing more models. The vivo X80 series, a combination of Tianji flagship chips + self-developed chips, will be more common in the future.
