Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 314 The Rabbit's Defenses Are Breached

Looking at the numbers on the big screen, many people in the audience rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

They knew about the Entertainment Rabbit version update; this time, the model was modified from the ground up, supposedly to better reflect current data and the phone's true performance, but they didn't expect...

Is this an improvement in phone performance, or just benchmark data?

This is outrageous!

"So I'm quite curious," Zhao Ming shrugged, his tone almost overflowing with sarcasm, "is this a real improvement brought about by the version update, or is it thanks to some customized optimizations?"

After all, the same chip, a different version, can double the benchmark score—that's a miracle that brands like ours, without connections, can't replicate.

Zhao Ming's aggrieved look made him laugh even louder.

"Help! Ming's rant is too outrageous! He's openly implying that Entertainment Rabbit is doing custom optimizations for a competitor's chips, and that the benchmark scores are inflated as soon as the version is updated."

Entertainment Rabbit probably never expected that someone would actually be publicly executed, right?

"I don't know if Entertainment Rabbit dares to say anything, but if he dares to make any insinuations, I reckon President Shen will take further action!"

"The person downstairs is going to explain the movements in detail!"

"It's the bullet screen section, not the high-speed section. We just need to remember that Tencent's major shareholder is Transsion. Entertainment Rabbit is just a small company. If it dares to make a sound, another rogue will naturally enter this industry!"

"Don't be so harsh, upstairs. Yule Rabbit is just a benchmarking software; what bad intentions could it possibly have? It just wants to adapt it to certain chips separately. [Feeling wronged and pitiful]"

On stage, Zhao Ming changed his tone and looked at the camera again: "Of course, the benchmark score is just a reference, everyone knows what's going on."

The performance difference of the Honor 6 will become apparent when you play games and check your ratings. After all, real user experience is probably much more reliable than a score that can be "tuned."

Meanwhile, the live broadcast from the press conference, after an emergency briefing, was being simultaneously played in the conference room at Entertainment Rabbit's headquarters.

The founder, Mr. Cai, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was digging his fingers into the table so hard that even the technical team next to him didn't dare to breathe.

In the live stream, Zhao Ming's teasing remained undisguised.

"In contrast, our Honor 6 had neither the money nor the connections; it lacked any special model adaptations or additional optimizations..."

This score is even slightly lower than that of the Mate series. Everyone should understand that this is a chip we've been tweaking for a year, and not only has it not improved, it's actually…”

"Bang!"

Mr. Cai slammed his hand on the table, splashing water from his glass.

The secretary quickly pressed the remote control, saving the television; otherwise, the next one...

"What does Zhao Ming mean by this? He's trying to eat what's in his bowl while smashing the pot."

Boss Cai simply couldn't calm down; he was like a small, simmering flame of anger...

"They're openly implying something about us, claiming we provide customized optimizations for manufacturers. Do we really offer that?"

The technical leaders exchanged glances, then lowered their heads guiltily.

That little expression seemed to say, whether or not customized optimizations were done, others might not know, but the company's finance department and Boss Cai definitely did.

"President Cai, Zhao Ming's words... are definitely aimed at us."

There were already accusations online that we were applying double standards in benchmarking, but we didn't expect him to publicly accuse us at the press conference.

"I want results, not this nonsense," Boss Cai interrupted him again, then pointed at them and said, "I spend so much money supporting you all just to let others point fingers at me and hurl insults?"

The meeting room fell silent once again, and many technicians were already cursing him in their hearts.

At this moment, Boss Cai calmed himself down, then glanced at the group of technicians and said in a sarcastic tone:

"What did I say to you back then?"

Optimization is fine, data can be adjusted, but couldn't you have used a more sophisticated method? Why make it so obvious that people can spot the problem at a glance?!

Old Li's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately bowed and said, "It was our oversight, Mr. Cai. We will adjust the subsequent optimization algorithm immediately to make the data changes smoother and there won't be such an eye-catching difference."

But in his mind, he was cursing Boss Cai to the bone, even though he was looking down.

Brilliant my foot! Who was it that slammed the table and demanded that in the first place?

"We absolutely cannot optimize the performance of Qilin and Taishan; in fact, we should suppress it. Their scores cannot rise too quickly, as this is not conducive to unity."

"The generation gap needs to be narrowed, and then widened again, so that users feel that domestically produced chips are simply not good enough."

The technical lead, Lao Li, originally planned to adjust the chip starting with the next generation, from a completely new chip.

Qualcomm and MediaTek, facing pressure from Transsion, revealed their most valuable technologies, which made perfect sense. However, Mr. Tsai was unwilling to accept this and insisted on starting now.

Now look what's happened. After the adjustment was completed, it was exposed in public, and now they're blaming the technicians for their poor skills.

So they do all the dirty and hard work, but they're the ones who take the blame.

In the past, Mr. Cai forced foreign investors and brands to make targeted optimizations in order to please them. Now that things have gone wrong, he's trying to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Although he was inwardly cursing him to the core, Old Li still wore a humble smile and spoke with the utmost deference:

"Mr. Cai, don't worry, we'll work overtime tonight to revise the algorithm. In the next update, we'll make sure the data behaves naturally and guarantee that this situation will never happen again."

He had clearly cursed Mr. Cai's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

How can we be more sophisticated in our methods? To put it bluntly, we want to have our cake and eat it too.

How can you help your competitors undermine their rivals without giving them any ammunition?

Boss Cai was clearly satisfied with his attitude and snorted coldly: "That's for the best."

Also, they changed the version update and optimization log for me, saying it said that during algorithm iteration, optimizations were made for multi-core scheduling scenarios, which caused some issues... resulting in a slight deviation in the score. The team has now located the problem and is working hard to improve it.

"Understood, we'll handle it immediately."

Meanwhile, Zhao Ming had already introduced other selling points, such as a flagship phone with 2GB of RAM and a high-density battery. Finally, a brand-new technology appeared on the big screen.

"Honor 6 is the world's first phone to launch with LTE Cat6!"

"Our Honor 6 is the first phone to support this technology."

As soon as the words "LTE Cat6" appeared on the big screen, Zhao Ming's proud voice pierced through the lights of the venue.

Thanks to "Dad" for giving him this technology to debut!

"Many friends may ask, what exactly is LTE Cat6?"

He smiled and raised his hand, and the PPT immediately switched to a clear comparison image.
