Scholar's Advanced Technological System

There was a huge sensation at the Huawei Dragon series chip presentation.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, in front of all of the audiences, media, and other participants, Huawei’s chief product strategy officer announced that there was going to be a live demonstration.

The staff members brought two mobile phones on stage and placed them on the stage table.

One of them was the mete100 concept phone with a 28nm processor Dragon One chip, and the other was the mete30 with the 16nm FinFET processor Kirin950 chip.

With the help of the two staff members, the two mobile phones began a game demo.

The mobile screens were soon displayed on the projector screen.

Through the big picture on the projector screen, the audience could clearly see the silicon CPU processing power reaching its limit. The image on the silicon chip mobile phone began to look laggy as the chip temperature continued to increase.

On the other side, the mete100 with the carbon-based chip was cool as a cucumber. Not only did the game graphics continue to improve, but the frame rate was steadily maintained at 60fps. The audience was dumbfounded.

Moreover, from the temperature graphs, although the surface temperature of the mete100 had increased, the temperature of the CPU was still within normal operating temperatures.

There was no doubt that the carbon-based was superior.

This was no longer specifications on paper, the phones were right in front of them.

Even though Mayberry was in disbelief, the facts were sitting right in front of him. Mayberry finally realized the severity of the situation.

In fact, in his mind, they had already lost.

Sitting next to him, Intel’s CEO Swan was also shocked.

However, unlike Mayberry, he took a deep breath and was able to stay calm.

He stared at the stage and suddenly spoke.

“Speaking of which…”

Mayberry heard Swan and spoke with a trembling voice, “Yeah, what?”

“Have you noticed that…” Swan looked around the venue and paused for a second. “There’s no one from Qualcomm here.”

Mayberry paused for a second and also looked around the venue.

He soon noticed the same.

“… Not just Qualcomm, AMD isn’t here either. Wait a second, other than their collaborators, there’s not a single other semiconductor company… We seem to be the only American semiconductor company that was invited.”

Swan suddenly was intrigued.

If this was only an intimidation tactic, there was no reason to only invite them.

If Intel was the one that made this technology, they wouldn’t hesitate to invite their “friends” such as AMD, Apple, and Samsung to the product launch.

Whether or not the other companies would attend the product launch, was up to them.

Therefore, Huawei didn’t invite Intel just to intimidate Intel.

At least, that wasn’t the main reason.

Therefore, there could only be one reason.

After ten minutes, the product launch had nearly come to an end. Swan took a deep breath and spoke.

“You should go back to the hotel.”

Mayberry looked at Swan and said, “What about you?”

Swan spoke.

“I’m going to talk to their boss.”

…

After the CPU performance demonstration, the stability of the chip was tested using the standard pi approximation method.

The two staff members began the Superπ software test on the two mobile phones at the same time. The main function of this software was to use floating-point arithmetic of the central processor to approximate the value of pi. This was widely used as a CPU Stability and computing ability test.

Just like everyone had expected, the powerful mete100 once again destroyed the control group of silicon-based chips.

While product launch was still going on, there was a commotion outside the conference venue.

Even though most of the visitors were unable to enter the conference, they were able to witness the mete100 phone through the large screen in the exhibition hall.

When they saw the two pictures side by side, one with low graphics and one with higher graphics, tourists couldn’t help but put on a surprised expression.

“This is… GTA?”

“Don’t think so… Think it’s just a demo software.”

“F*ck me! There’s no way the integrated GPU on that phone can handle that level of graphics? This must be a video, only PCs can handle that level of graphics.”

“You know how these concept phones are, they have to be lying!”

“Not necessarily, I heard they’re using the latest carbon-based chips. I heard it’s miles better than silicon chips, maybe this is possible.”

“I don’t believe it, Huawei is this nutty?”

“It seems like the chip was made by the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study… I’ve read that paper, Lu Zhou is the corresponding author, he’s probably the one that led this project.”

“God Lu is behind this? Okay… Then I can believe it.”

Someone took out their phone and recorded the big screen, uploading it to the Internet.

Even through the recording, the difference between the graphics quality was clear as day.

As the news spread onto the Internet, discussions about the Dragon chip and the mete100 smartphones followed one after another, quickly picking up steam in major media platforms.

Chinese mobile phone forums also began discussing the mete100.

As far as the phone’s specifications went, the phone was a total monster.

Even though this was just a “concept”, it crushed the current mobile phones in every category.

People were surprised to find out that Huawei was now also a semiconductor company.

The hype on the unreleased mobile phone and carbon-based technology began to brew…
