First, the processor

1, Qualcomm music, more than 60 flagships used on the Dragon 810. Recently, Qualcomm said in a statement that more than 60 flagship phones will be equipped with the Snapdragon 810 processor in 2015, and shipments will not be affected by heat and other issues. Qualcomm said that Microsoft, Motorola, LG and other manufacturers will use the latest Snapdragon 810 processor, and said that this product has no problem in terms of performance and application. In addition to Qualcomm, other vendors have also stood up for their "promotion", including Sony, OPPO, Microsoft and so on.

2, 14nm face, Apple A9 chip or Samsung OEM. According to US media Re/code, sources familiar with the situation revealed that Apple has reached an agreement with Samsung to produce the next-generation mobile processor A9 chip for its foundry. According to sources, Apple has been using Samsung to produce various components, but is also trying to reduce its dependence on the latter. For the A8 chip that the iPhone 6 is equipped with, Apple has distributed its OEM work to TSMC and Samsung. However, because Samsung has 14nm technology advantages, and TSMC is still using 20nm technology, Apple has to turn to Samsung to produce A9 processors.

Second, communication news

1, 64-bit 4-8 core support LTE-A technology, has become a key specification. The giants have deployed, Qualcomm actively promotes Cat.9 LTE-A, MediaTek actively deploys LTE-A SoC, Intel focuses on XMM 7262 advanced upgrade platform, and supports TDD/FDD LTE. According to the latest data from the Global Mobile Equipment Suppliers Association, 360 long-distance evolution (LTE) telecom service operators have provided commercial communication services to date. As of 2014, 96 new telecom operators have provided LTE commercial services. Among them, up to 49 LTE ​​data transmission services have already provided the carrier aggregation (CA) technology solution of LTE-A standard, and the CA access method provided by LTE-A has become the key data of smart phones and tablets in 2015. One of the transmission applications is also a necessary support function for mainstream models.

Third, automotive electronics

1. IC Insights: The next 4 car electronics will run first. Statistics on semiconductor applications for the next few years, for the next four years (to 2018) semiconductor terminal applications including automotive electronics, communications applications, industrial / medical applications, government / military, consumer electronics and computers, and other six applications The growth rate is ranked according to the annual compound growth rate. The automobile application has the strongest performance of 10.8%, followed by communication 6.8%, industry 5.7%, government 4.1%, consumer electronics 4.1%, and computer related 3.3%.

2. Is Google and Uber an opponent? Inter-related car rental and driverless car business. According to the technology website engadget on February 3, Google is planning to launch a car rental service using its driverless car, which may compete with Uber. Google’s relationship with Uber has been good, and Google Ventures invested $258 million in Uber’s shared car service in 2013. At present, Uber's technology in autonomous vehicles is behind Google, but according to TechCrunch, Uber will work with Carnegie Mellon University scientists to develop and establish a new research laboratory in Pittsburgh. Did not disclose more details.

Fourth, intelligent hardware

1, Apple or the end of the month to push the 12-inch retina new Air and AppleWatch. February 5, according to Apple Insider website, Apple plans to hold a media conference at the end of this month, when the new MacBook Air with retina display will be released, and the final version of Apple Watch will be announced. The iGen website quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Apple will hold a new product launch on February 24. For Apple's smartwatch, Apple has already demonstrated the device ahead of September last year, and now the company is doing the final development because it will be launched in April. Apple will use the product launch conference at the end of February to provide more details about the configuration of the wearable device, such as battery life.

2. The smart book recognizes the reader's expression to unlock. According to Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po" reported on February 4th, a Dutch design company recently launched a book that can identify the reader's expression. Only when the reader's mood is peaceful and without any prejudice, the cover of the book will be opened for readers to read. Conversely, if the book judges that the reader has a preconceived prejudice, it will refuse to unlock. According to reports, the product called "Just judge your cover" is still in the embryonic stage with a lens and face recognition system, by scanning the reader's facial expression to determine whether there is a stereotype. When the reader reveals a neutral expression, the microcontroller will unlock the lock on the book.

Five, wearable charging technology

1. Wearable Black Technology: Microsoft AutoCharge uses light to charge. For wearable devices with extremely limited endurance, it is often difficult to maintain a full day of use even if the battery is fully charged at night. A few days ago, Microsoft Research announced a new charging technology: AutoCharge, or will solve our troubles. AutoCharge has two working modules: one is the monitoring module, which uses Microsoft's Kinect camera to scan the charged object; the other is the charging module, which uses the UltraFire CREE XM-L T6 to focus the LED light. When Kinect successfully detects the object, the charging module automatically emits light and charges it.

2. The Korean professor developed the body temperature power generation technology and was awarded the world's top ten technology awards. According to the Korean media report, the “wearable body temperature power production technology” developed by the Korean R&D team won the best award in the “Top Ten Technology for Changing the World” selected by UNESCO. This technology uses the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the clothes generated by body temperature to generate electricity. The team of Zhao Bingzhen attached the thermoelectric elements to the glass fibers to make them wearable. The element is 10 cm long and wide, and is worn on the arm. When the outside temperature is above 20 degrees (approximately 17 degrees from body temperature), about 40 milliwatts of electricity is generated. Because of the temperature difference, current is generated inside the semiconductor. This power can drive semiconductor chips. If it is made into a jacket size (50 & TImes; 100 cm), it can generate about 2 watts of electricity for the phone to charge.
