Original factory dynamics
1. Qualcomm announced the sample of 7Nm processor: or renamed Xiaolong 8150, and the opponent of Kirin 980 is coming
Not long ago, Huawei officially confirmed that the Kirin 980 chip adopts the 7Nm process. Qualcomm recently announced its official account that the upcoming flagship mobile platform will be a system level chip (SoC) using 7 nanometer process technology. It can be matched with Xiaolong x505g modem. The 7 nm SOC is expected to become the first mobile platform supporting 5g function for smartphones and other mobile terminals.
Gao Tong said that at present, it has sampled the upcoming flagship mobile platform from a number of OEMs developing the next generation of consumer terminals. This is the rumored Xiaolong 855 processor, but it may eventually be renamed Xiaolong 8150.
2. Nokia announced that the unified rate of 5g patent license is lower than that of Qualcomm and Ericsson
According to the Wall Street Journal, Nokia recently released its expectation of patent fees related to 5g mobile phones. Nokia expects each new mobile phone using patented technology involving its 5g network to generate up to 3 euros ($3.43) in revenue. Ericsson and Qualcomm have previously released 5g patent charging standards. Compared with Ericsson and Qualcomm, Nokia's charging standards are lower than the first two.
Ericsson will set a maximum of $5 per high-end handheld device and a minimum of $2.50 per low-end handheld device; Qualcomm plans to charge a license fee of 2.275% of the wholesale price for each single-mode 5g mobile phone and 3.25% of the wholesale price for multi-mode 5g mobile phones. The maximum sales price of the whole machine is $400.
Market situation
3. Huawei: Australia prohibits Huawei and ZTE from supplying 5g network equipment
Huawei announced Thursday that Australia has banned the company from supplying equipment for its planned 5g network. Huawei Australia said in a statement through its official twitter account that this was a "result of great disappointment to consumers".
Huawei is the world's largest telecommunications network equipment manufacturer and the world's third-largest mobile phone manufacturer. They have previously promised Australia to carry out comprehensive supervision and audit on 5g network equipment, including base stations, communication towers and radio transmission equipment.
4. Under pressure from the United States, ASML, a photolithography giant in the Netherlands, was exposed not to recruit Chinese employees
In the high-tech field, the United States has strengthened its prevention of the Chinese people in the past year, which is not limited to the United States. Even European companies have been under pressure from the U.S. government. It is revealed that ASML, a lithography giant in the Netherlands, no longer recruits Chinese employees.
A microblog user broke the news that his friend was studying in the Netherlands for graduate school and was ready to find a job there after graduation. As a result, the reply received said that ASML company was prohibited by the U.S. government and could not recruit Chinese employees, so he could not submit his resume to ASML company. ASML said: This is a false rumor. When ASML recruits people, there are generally no nationality restrictions.
5. In 2017, Amazon ranked first in R & D expenditure, followed by Google and Samsung
According to a report released by consulting firm Ernst & young, American technology giants Amazon and Google ranked first and second in R & D expenditure with 20.1 billion euros and 14.8 billion euros respectively, Samsung Electronics ranked third with 13.1 billion euros, and American chip manufacturer Intel ranked fourth with 11.6 billion dollars.
In terms of the average distribution of "R & D intensity" countries, Switzerland ranks first, followed by the United States, Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, China and South Korea.
Industry analysis
6. The average monthly salary of China's integrated circuit industry is 9120 yuan, which is very short of talents!
The white paper on talents in China's integrated circuit industry (2017-2018) jointly released by China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute and the software and integrated circuit promotion center of the Ministry of industry and information technology in Beijing recently shows that the existing talent stock in China's integrated circuit industry is about 400000, and the talent gap is 320000.
After the statistical analysis of the white paper, it is found that the average salary level of China's integrated circuit industry is 9120 yuan per month, which is still far from the average salary in the fields of Finance and mobile Internet.
7. The energy consumption of single atom quantum transistor computer developed by Germany may be greatly reduced
A research team at Karlsruhe Institute of technology in Germany has developed a quantum transistor composed of only one atom and can operate at room temperature. This research opens a new chapter in computing power and efficiency. The new transistor turns on or off the circuit by moving a silver atom.
Nanowerk, a materials science news website, calls the transistor the smallest in the world. More importantly, the new transistor is described as a "quantum switch", which means that it can carry more complex information than current transistors. The energy consumption of the new transistor is only one tenth of that of the current silicon technology.
