Set micro-grid launch micro-channel IC WeChat public number: 'Daily IC', real-time release of major news, every day IC, every day set of micro-network, micro-into a!
1. Qualcomm shares in the Apple baseband face 0/1 two possible;
According to Digitimes reported that before the controversy with the Qualcomm licensing dispute resolved, Apple intends to bring the next generation of iPhone baseband chip orders, all from other vendors to supply.It is understood that Apple is 50% of the iPhone baseband chip, The order is forwarded to Intel, while the remaining 50% is expected to be consumed by MediaTek.
Media sources said that MediaTek is attractive to Apple in terms of technology, capacity and product cost, and that MediaTek, as Apple's chip supplier, can meet (1) leading technology competitiveness, (2) comprehensive Product blueprint, and (3) reliable service support and other three major apple suppliers when choosing the basic principles.
Currently, MediaTek refused to respond to the news, saying only that they are striving for more orders for more customers.For the mobile chip by Qualcomm products are strongly squeezed MediaTek, can win Apple's order is equal to a long drought Ganlin, can imagine how much effort they will make to win this order.
However, although the production of baseband chips can be supplied by Intel and MediaTek, with Qualcomm's dominance in 3G / 4G, Apple has to pay Qualcomm royalties, presumably or inevitable.
However, the market continues to tell next year Apple will give up the Qualcomm baseband, does not rule out the apple in order to give high pressure on the release of smoke bombs, Qualcomm's board will be re-elected next March, once Broadcom recommended directors stationed Qualcomm board, Broadcom proposed Qualcomm's acquisition plan is likely to take place, with Broadcom and Apple's relationship, Apple's future baseband chip provided by Qualcomm may not be impossible.
Set micro-grid that, based on Qualcomm and Apple's current patent game status and future considerations, Qualcomm in Apple's future may be fully occupied or all of the two were eliminated.
2. Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 processor or will be released in the first quarter of 2018;
Set micro-grid news, according to foreign media broke the news, Qualcomm is testing the prototype equipped with Xiaolong 670 and revealed some of the information Xiaolong 670. It is reported that Xiaolong 670 platform will use Samsung 10-nm LPP process, with 4 / 6GB LPDDR4X Memory, storage space of 64GB eMMC 5.1, equipped with WQHD 2560 × 1440 resolution screen and equipped with 22.6 million pixel rear and 13 million pixel front of the camera.
In terms of the core architecture, the Snapdragon 670 may be equipped with two Kryo 385, Kryo 280 or new self-developed high-performance core and six Kryo low-power cores, GPU performance may be achieved Snapdragon 820 processor equipped Adreno 530.
In addition, release time, the Snapdragon 670 processor is likely to be released in the first quarter of 2018, there will be a new machine starting in the second quarter, while the large-scale listing of terminal equipment, you need to wait until 2018 Six months later.
