1. Qualcomm Hawaii Technology Summit opened on the 5th;
Set micro-grid news, Qualcomm subsidiary Qualcomm technology company will be held in the United States from 5th to 7th in Hawaii, the second annual Snapdragon technology summit.
Qualcomm noted that this year's event will be moderated by Cristiano Amon, executive vice president of QUALCOMM Technologies and QCT co-president, and a panel of top executives from several industry leaders.
Qualcomm plans to showcase Snapdragon Technology Summit this year, Snapdragon mobile platform built-in the latest innovations, will also showcase a number of upcoming technologies and progress, these results will continue to shape our use of mobile devices, always networked PC And other ways of future technology.
Qualcomm this year, by virtue of Snapdragon 600 and 400 series platform, successfully grabbed a lot of smart phone chip share from the hands of MediaTek, MediaTek has become the main reason for the decline in operations this year; next year, MediaTek back in the first half of the share of the second half of the order is still In the PK status.
Set micro-network reporter has arrived in Hawaii, will bring more live coverage.
2.iPhone X baseband performance is different Qualcomm is preferred;
Apple and Qualcomm patent lawsuit more and more fierce, so that the two sides will most likely future completely unruly uncooperative fact is true, because Apple is working with MediaTek, etc., are secretly developing the baseband.
Because of dissatisfaction with Qualcomm's patent fees for opaque patents, Apple has added Intel to its base band selection since the iPhone 7, even though the baseband strength of the latter is far weaker than that of Qualcomm, but this year they still receive half of the new iPhone orders.
Now that Cellular Insights, a wireless signal testing facility, delivers a detailed baseband experience for the iPhone X, the result is that the Qualcomm X16 is always faster than the Intel XMM7480 baseband, even though Apple is depressing its performance.
The most obvious is that, iPhone X equipped with Qualcomm baseband version, the signal is more stable, but also much faster download speeds than the Intel version, in particular, the download speed of at least 67% faster than the latter.
Regardless of whether Apple admits or not, their speed-squeeze on QUALCOMM's baseband is an undeniable fact. Therefore, everyone should pay special attention to the iPhone X version. The A1865 is a baseband version of Qualcomm and the A1901 is an Intel baseband version.
3. MediaTek CEO Cai Li line: the semiconductor industry is accelerating consolidation;
According to Taiwanese media reports, Cai Lixing made special speeches at the invitation of Hetong Venture Partners yesterday. He said that the semiconductor industry has played a role of "promoter" in the digital world to create incredible output and can now scale the scale. At Moore's Law, the cost has dropped 100,000 times from 1980 to 2017. In 2000, 15 kilos of iMac computers were concentrated to a size of 170 grams into their cell phones, but at that time computers were less able to do the current smartphones , Especially after he came to MediaTek found that not only the hardware needs growth, software or App IC more complex.
Tsai said the semiconductor industry is changing its ecology. With the growth of "Moore's Law" starting to be gentle, fabs under 5 nanometers will face huge financial and economic pressure. Will Moore's Law go to 2030? Will the cost per Doubling in two years will be the key. The entire industry will face downward consolidation and squeeze. The consolidation and progress of the semiconductor industry are under way.
