vivo Product Manager Reveals Huge Advances in SOC, Flagship Phones to See Big Changes

TapTechNews October 3rd news, Han Boxiao, the product manager of vivo Communication Technology Co., Ltd., posted today, saying that this generation of SoC will widen the generation gap equivalent to that of the past two generations, and a large amount of data has already gone towards an increase of more than 40%.

Han Boxiao said:

Everyone has also heard that the memory has doubled and rebounded, and at the same time, the SOC under the N3E process may have the largest increase in history.

Last year was said to be a good time to buy a flagship, with large memory being cheap, and the periscope下放 (downward placement of periscope) to the standard flagship is also a major bonus in the industry.

So does it seem that this year is not a good time to buy a flagship?

I think this year is even a better time to buy a flagship phone.

First of all, there is also an industry bonus this year. The extremely narrow black border and the equal-depth micro-four-curved surface are popularized in the standard version, and the form has a big upgrade.

And then the most important thing is the SOC with the largest historical price increase. Why does it increase the most? Because the improvement is also the largest in history.

I have made 17 generations of products and experienced 12 generations of SOC. On average, each generation of SOC increases by about 15%, and occasionally there are those with 20-25% increase, which will become a very strong generation.

And what about this generation? According to the results that have been seen, a large amount of data has already gone towards an increase of more than 40%.

This means that this generation of SOC will widen the generation gap equivalent to that of the past two generations, and there will also be a deep gap from the sub-flagship, which is a rare thing in history.

Is SOC the most important foundation for a flagship? Everyone has the answer in their hearts. That is to say, the flagship in October this year may be the generation with the largest leading advantage in history. So is this cost-effective? I think it is still cost-effective.

TapTechNews noticed that when Han Boxiao replied to netizens' questions in the comment area, he said both2024, which means that both MediaTek and Qualcomm's 2024 new flagship processors have quite a large improvement.

And according to the blogger @Digital Chat Station's爆料 this week, the cost of this generation of flagship chips using the N3E process has skyrocketed by about 20% ±, and the procurement cost of D9400 (Dimensity 9400) is about 155 US dollars (currently about 1089 yuan), and the procurement of SM8750 (expected to be named Snapdragon 8 Gen4 or Snapdragon 8 Elite) is about 190 US dollars (currently about 1335 yuan).
