1, mediatek, the world's first release 10 nm mobile processors - Helio X30
Since the launch of new Helio the sunrise brand, mediatek started toward their own high-end dreams. Unfortunately, connecting two generation product either run points and practical experience of competing goods less than many, even if is the core pile to 10, still because of process and the GPU without being praised, eventually become a machine with one thousand yuan. Recently, mediatek finally suppress tricks again, officially launched the second generation of ten core processor Helio X30, really have read a lot.
Mediatek released the world's first 10 nm mobile processors - Helio X30
It is understood that Helio X30 claims is the world's first 10 nm mobile processors, still USES the re-understanding set architecture, architecture is 2 star A73 (2.8 GHz) + 4 star architecture (A53 (2.3 GHz) + 4 star architecture A35 (2.0 GHz) core portfolio. Among them, the strongest A73 performance, A35 energy consumption than optimal, positioning under A53. In addition to the process technology of ascension, Helio X30 ascension on the GPU is also very good. This time, Helio X30 abandoned ancestral Mali, equipped with four core ImaginaTIon PowerVR 7 XTP, while PowerVR almost always is a favorite of apple core.
By contrast, Helio X30 than Helio X20 performance improved by 43%, 53% lower power consumption, allegedly run points up to 16. In other ways, Helio X30 highest support 8 gb LPDDR4X deposit, support it 2.1 storage chip, double ISP highest support 28 million megapixel camera, 3 carrier aggregation, the 10 lte, 802.11 ac WiFi also support completely.

After all, the current data, Helio X30 is really very to force, then wait for relevant models to actual inspection. We know that Helio X30 will mass production in the first quarter of next year. According to this year's mediatek and meizu, meizu PRO 7 is likely Helio X30 starting model, the meiyou restless?
2, 7 nm TSMC process fastest April 2
Intel on the process technology of "procrastination" gave samsung and TSMC breathing time, and the latter also take this opportunity to work fast, intended to reverse the situation. According to foreign media reports, TSMC recently in an internal meeting to renew their roadmap, 10 nm will enter mass production by the end of the year, the earliest in April 7 nm testing. As for Intel, the second half of next year's Cannon Lake is 10 nm processors, and the first paragraph 7 nm is said to wait until 2022. Though Intel process technology of the same in each generation in the core index ahead of TSMC, samsung, but time nodes behind so much, your competitors will have enough time to improve optimization.
It is reported that 10 nm process of chip area will decrease than the current 16 ff + 50%, but 50% performance increase, power consumption reduced by 40%.
7 nm TSMC process fastest April 2
As for 7 nm, transistor density will increase by 163% for the personage inside course of study is expected, such as under the 1 v voltage, CPU clock frequency can be rushed to 3.8 GHz, maximum temperature rise to 150 degrees at the same time, simply overclocking artifact.
There is no doubt that apple, NVIDIA, mediatek TSMC old customers see this pace, is bound to firm the confidence, and work closely. As for AMD, because and GF cliques headed for 7 nm, so the recent three years are 14 nm farmland.
3, China's four big industry colony forming semiconductor
For China in 2016 "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in planning" to start the first year, the target for IC industry in 2020 gap with the international level, and overall industry revenue growth of more than 20%. According to TrendForce its extension 墣 industry research institute, according to new research by the Chinese government since 2000, increase the intensity of driving integrated circuit industry, tie-in fta Settings, promoting China's Yangtze river delta, the pearl river delta, beijing-tianjin bohai sea and four major industry groups gradually forming in the Midwest.
Yangtze river delta with Shanghai as the core, its 2015 annual output value is about RMB 1792 activity have one hundred million yuan, is four major industry groups top producers in the region. Tinto 墣 industry research institute, points out that focuses on development of the IC in the middle and lower reaches in Yangtze river delta, is China's most advanced IC manufacturing and testing technology capacity concentrated area.
The pearl river delta region, with shenzhen as the core, the output value of 68.78 billion yuan in 2015, with IC design output value accounted for the highest, indicators of enterprises to the sea, to the importance of IC design and system integration and application of end center.
The beijing-tianjin bohai sea area in Beijing's zhongguancun as its core, the IC industry in 2015 total output value of 62.48 billion yuan, is focused on the development of the design, manufacture and application, the main indicators of enterprises for smic (Beijing) and thunis group. The Midwest in 2015 total output value of 2015 yuan. From xi 'an have samsung set up 3 d NAND Flash production line, as well as the wuhan new core NAND Flash expansion, coupled with purple light group through Yangtze river storage technologies combined with wuhan new core resource integration, will become China's important Flash manufacturing base in the Midwest.
Besides has formed four major groups, the development of fujian area is also another big focus, quanzhou experiences of DRAM project has been included in national major projects "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in" IC productivity, plus league core factory in xiamen, and the government is planning to build fuzhou, xiamen, fujian province, quanzhou, putian form coastal integrated circuit industry area. Tinto 墣 industry research institute, said the industry area in the future if IC design industry chain cooperation with the pearl river delta, will further push up the southeast coast in China, the influence of China's integrated circuit industry chain.
China's top four semiconductor industry colony forming
4, lenovo announced the MOTOROLA unit to layoffs
Lenovo today issued announcement will once again to layoffs, the cuts are ongoing between lenovo and MOTOROLA part of strategic integration, that is to say the cuts jobs from MOTOROLA, lenovo said layoffs at less than 2% of the global workforce, lenovo staff of about 55000 people around the world, also is to cut around 1000 jobs in MOTOROLA's department.
Before lenovo notice, foreign media reported that lenovo is about 700-700 the number of the job cuts, all from MOTOROLA mobile division, apparently lenovo plans to main operations transferred to China itself, it will be more economic, lenovo in a press release also mentioned the "cost savings, improve efficiency".

Virtual reality industry is facing a talent shortage
Associate professor of tianjin university software institute should be flying on "nanchang VR/AR peak BBS" said that although the field inside and outside talent, a lot of people is "special skills", but industry talent reserve status "is not very good. "Lack of technical talents", this is as a first-line teachers in colleges and universities should be xiang mentioned repeatedly.
Many experts say, is in the initial period of VR industry in China, look from the absolute number, not a lack of VR practitioners, even have symptom of overheating. But high quality, professional VR talent reserve is not perfect. Data show that most of the current VR developers from games, animation, 3 d simulation, model transformation. Due to the differences between the industry technical talents, therefore, it is difficult to quickly into the field of VR.
In xiang's view, should be on the market at present numerous hardware and software platform to a certain extent, an obstacle for talent training. "We hope the virtual reality hardware and software products more colorful, but don't want this industry 'miscellaneous things too much." Should cheung, said the current VR/AR numerous hardware and software platform, schools are unified training for students.
"Because of the lack of unified standards, we are unable to carry out general course." Should cheung said, from university curriculum view, curriculum can let students useful life, rather than after graduation found "no use". Should, therefore, cheung calls to publish relevant industry standards as soon as possible, and courses in unity, refining techniques and methods, so that the industry on the fast track as soon as possible.
At the same time, should cheung also pointed out that the hardware equipment of high price, also tied the technology popularization "hands". In the virtual reality industry development white paper in 2016, which explicitly pointed out that the high cost of VR hardware problem, a low cost display plus a host of frequently tens of thousands of yuan.
In addition, in terms of VR/AR itself, and its relating to the development of the discipline, big span, need is "generalists". "From the sensor to 3 d modeling, and artificial intelligence, a person wants to be able to cover all aspects of the software and hardware, the development of all things. But the almighty technical personnel is very lack." Xiang said.
