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.

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.

This year, the supply of Flash flash memory is adequate, and the price of SSD has been "back to its original form" from last year's high level, and consumers can finally pick it up.

Samsung has decided to release the next generation big screen flagship Galaxy Note 9 in August 9th, regardless of its design or hardware configuration, which should continue to follow the combination of Samsung Exynos 9810 and high pass snapdragon 845.

According to Korea BusinessKorea Beijing time reported on June 9th, Samsung Electronics continues to maintain its leading position in the global semiconductor market this year. As the growth of Intel (55.05, -0.83, -1.49%) slows down and the memory chip market is booming, Samsung Electronics is likely to dominate the semiconductor industry for second years in a row.

According to foreign media technode, Chinese AI start-ups Rokid will release self research smart voice chips on Rokid Jungle, the first conference held in Hangzhou in June 26th, according to foreign media.

Strategy Analytics mobile phone component technology research service released the latest research report on the 2017 baseband chip market share tracking: Intel, Hass semiconductor and Samsung LSI shipments are two digit growth. The global honeycomb baseband processor market size dropped by 4% to $21 billion 200 million in 2017.

Set micronet news, IC Insights published the first quarter of 2018 semiconductor industry revenue profile. Overall, the first 15 semiconductor companies grew 26% compared with the first quarter of 2017, and the overall semiconductor industry grew by about 20%. Surprisingly, Samsung, SK Hynix and micron three memory suppliers grew more than 40% in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. With the strong growth of DRAM and NAND Flash for a whole year, Samsung's first quarter sales figures were still lagging behind Intel 5% in the first quarter of 2017, but revenue in the first quarter of 2018 was much more than Intel's 23%. Intel also took the lead in the first quarter of 2017, but lost its 20 year advantage since 1993 in the second quarter of 2017 and throughout the year.

Samsung Electronics Co. (Co.) pointed out in April 26th that the memory industry is expected to maintain a strong performance in the second quarter of 2018, but the company's overall surplus is more difficult to show growth, and the owners fear that the DP sector will be tired of continued fatigue and the intensification of high-end mobile phone competition will lead to a decline in the profit of the mobile communications sector.
