Qualcomm's ambition has not only confined to smartphones, in addition to wearable devices, is now expanding to the field of Internet of things. The Internet of things is a bearing cover very wide and fuzzy market, including automotive, construction, as well as various intelligent household products, capable of transmitting data and has a very broad market prospect in the future. Some analysts said that by 2022, the global Internet market scale will reach $883 billion, and this number is only $130 billion in 2013. Today, in order to in the field of Internet of things has a higher share, qualcomm has just released two designed for iot products to build a new processor Xiao dragon 600 e and 410 e.
Since then, qualcomm will distributors (Arrow Electronics, for example) to a third party to provide the reference design, this is the first time. Qualcomm, said in a statement: "all kinds of the size of the manufacturers can use 600 e and 410 e chip."
Qualcomm says, oneself will strictly control the sale of two processors, not for ordinary sold to consumers, but we all will use the built-in this two new processor product. Qualcomm hope their new processors will be used in all kinds of electronic products, digital billboard, set-top boxes and medical imaging equipment, and sales systems and industrial robots. Qualcomm says this is the first time in history for iot equipment building products.
Two processors in performance left a deep impression on us. 600 e first is Xiao dragon, it built in 1.5 GHz quad-core Krait 300 architecture processor and 320 Adreno gpus, at the same time support the digital signal processor and a 21000000 megapixel camera and bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, wi-fi 802.11 ac and GPS. At the same time, more impressive is that 600 e has extensibility, even can connect SATA hard disk and HDMI signal.
In addition a Xiao dragon 410 e performance slightly less than 600 e, but is still a iot market high-end products. 410 e built-in 1.2 GHz quad-core processors and 306 Adreno gpus, 13000000 megapixel camera and digital signal processor, support bluetooth 4.1, 802.11, low power ac and GPS connection. , of course, compared with 600 e, 410 e do not have scalability and therefore more suitable for the intelligent household, digital billboard or medical equipment.
"Xiao dragon 600 e and 410 e are collected at present we the best connection properties as well as computer technology, to meet the needs of the Internet of things and a wide range of embedded products." Qualcomm, vice President of product management Raj Talluri said. "Xiao dragon series processor represents a powerful performance, and now for all kinds of Internet products, we will provide to the customer more to support for a long time."
Although Xiao dragon 600 e and 410 e of network processor is qualcomm's first money and goods, but qualcomm is not a new faces in the field. Qualcomm has many valuable patent related fields, and two new processor, are based on previous qualcomm DragonBoard motherboard and use 410 c.
Qualcomm is currently in the field of Internet of things are seeking further development, in mid-september, qualcomm joined by Ericsson, InterDigital, KPN Avanci patent alliance, companies such as ZTE, manufacturers can easily to products using the technology of their union. And earlier this month, qualcomm also announced with Verizon ThingSpace iot platform for cooperation. And in August, qualcomm has teamed up with philips, signed a breathing apparatus, blood pressure monitor, blood glucose monitor and other medical equipment networking performance support.
At the Internet of things
Qualcomm in the field of smart phone processor is the "head" NBA absolutely, HTC, samsung, LG and SONY, all on the market of high-end Android smartphone is qualcomm processor is used. In 2014, the processor from California, San Diego, giant in the mobile market share as high as 64%, this year is still all flagship Android phones still use the qualcomm products, such as the samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the Galaxy S7, HTC and SONY Xperia 10 X Performance, etc.
Qualcomm is by smartphones into the Internet of things, including automotive, construction, household appliances and other products can transmit data (similar to the concept of smart home). Analysts believe that the market in 2022 will increase to $883 billion, only $2015 in 130 billion. On Wednesday, qualcomm launched two new processor 600 e and 410 e, is the Internet of things market targeting.
For qualcomm, Xiao dragon 600 e and 410 e is just a start. Qualcomm says that by 2020 the company revenue in the field of Internet of things is expected to reach 2 billion, and the future iot products will account for a third of the company's overall revenue.
