Japan's Toshiba Corp. reported record quarterly net profit in April-June after selling its flash chip business to a consortium led by American private equity firm Bain Capital for $18 billion earlier this year, foreign media reported.

ABSTRACT: Nvidia, the leading graphics chip maker in the competition for AI chips, once said that Intel had only 20% of the global market for its AI chips, but Intel is now investing a lot of resources to catch up. Some...

Abstract: at present, Tesla is developing a hardware called Hardware3. Compared with the ready-made technology, the design and manufacture of its own AI hardware can bring a higher competitive advantage to Tesla and help...

High Qualcomm wearable chips have not been updated for nearly two years, although Qualcomm has updated the Wear 2500 this year, but it is for children's watches, not other wearable devices. Today, Qualcomm has finally remembered to update the wider use of wearable cores.

Both the IC and semiconductor industries have been in a positive cycle for quite some time, with the second half of 2018 and 2019 threatening to slow down or even run into turbulence. Although the next half of the market demand for many chips in the next half of 2018 remains intact, there has been some warning that the NAND Flash market is expected to fall from a shortage of capacity to a potential period of overcapacity, with time to fall in the second half of 2018 or 2019, and the DRAM price is expected to be gradually eroded.

In July 31, 2018, the global digital money miner ASIC product leader Innosilicon announced today that its bitcoin Terminator series uses Samsung's most advanced low power FinFET technology to break the industry record with ultra high energy efficiency - the energy consumption of the chip is as low as 63W/TH, and the measured wall of the mining machine is 75W/TH (25 degrees C). The record-breaking, energy-efficient ASIC has entered mass production, and the next generation of bitcoin miners using the chip has begun to ship.

Strategy Analytics mobile phone component technology research service, the latest research report, "Q1 baseband chip market share tracking in 2018: Samsung LSI over coalition" pointed out that in 2018, the Q1 global honeycomb baseband processor market increased by 0.3% to $4 billion 900 million year on year.

MLCC, chip resistance and other products of passive components, ceramic capacitors (MLCC), chip resistance and other products continue to be continued in July, and the price trend is still upward. The industry is promising. The revenue of GB and Huaxu will be synchronized for five months in July. The monthly increase rate is from two to 30%. The country is expected to exceed NT $9 billion (the same) and move towards a hundred billion. Huaxu is also expected to stand up to 5 billion yuan for the first time.

Qualcomm today said it is expected that the new apple iPhone will never use the company's baseband chip, although Qualcomm has been supplying chips for the apple "old" iPhone, but has completely lost its future business.

Samsung Electronics has previously released the 3 Nanometer Foundry process by 2020. According to the analysis, the design cost of 3 Nanometer Foundry process chip will be as high as 1 billion 500 million US dollars. Although the increase in the cost of chip design is very high, according to experts, it is said that the current efficiency and the performance increase range are not proportional to the cost, and considering the high cost, the number of enterprises that can design 3 nanoscale projects can be counted.
