Bright prospects in the field of Internet of things is attracting more semiconductor company to join, a few days ago, there are rumors that grace wisdom pu semiconductor is a takeover talk with qualcomm. It is understood that qualcomm is going to buy grace wisdom pu is likely to cost more than $30 billion.

Think pu split in philips semiconductor, in recent years, the company continuously push the connected car, intelligent security applications such as content associated terminal market innovation, in 2015, the company operating income of $6.1 billion. Especially in grace wisdom pu at the end of last year paid $11.8 billion for freescale semiconductor, the company has became the world's largest supplier of car electronic products. In the face of the coming era of driverless cars, pu obviously have advantage.

More than two months ago, softbank's $32 billion takeover of the ARM. And founded in 1990, the ARM specializes in mobile phone chip business, although not chip production, but the design of the chip will be licensed to companies such as apple, samsung and qualcomm, and paid a lot of patent fee. In today's mobile Internet development is rapid, usher in the golden age of ARM's development, in 2015 using the ARM chip shipments of 15 billion pieces. In comparison, another chip giant Intel's application is more focused on the PC and server level.

In fact, both ARM and wisdom of pu, or softbank's bid for the two companies and qualcomm, are not important to the semiconductor market in the past, the present mobile Internet market, but the Internet market in the future. It is predicted that in 2016 the Internet of things services spending will reach about $235 billion, up 23% from 2015. Therefore, for qualcomm takeover rumors of pu and also can be seen as qualcomm for iot market one of the major initiatives.

For traditional semiconductor industry, grace wisdom pu in spite of the huge opportunities of mobile Internet and Internet of things in the future, but also in the face of rising manufacturing costs throughout the industry, customer decline, but in comparison, grace wisdom pu and qualcomm, compared with the chip giant Intel, the size is much smaller. Therefore, also there are rumors that, in addition to qualcomm, anwar technology, Intel and samsung may also be interested in grace wisdom pu.

But in comparison, qualcomm seems more acquisition probability of pu and as a mobile chip giant, qualcomm is facing antitrust problems around the world. In July 2016 in South Korea accused because of monopoly problem after heavy penalties by the fair trade commission 1 trillion won, recently accused by the eu monopolises exclude competitors, is likely to face a hefty fine of $2.5 billion.

It should be said that the mobile Internet to qualcomm huge market opportunity, but also brought a lot of trouble. For qualcomm, mobile Internet dividend is lower, such as whether mediatek or haisi to qualcomm challenge in the market, at the same time, both traditional chip giant Intel and IBM, SAP and other IT giants, or Google and other Internet giants, are important to lock on the Internet of things as the company's future strategic objectives.

Qualcomm interests to mobile Internet dividend day not too long, in this case, the further development of the Internet of things market by acquiring grace wisdom pu, self-driving cars, and other fields, in particular, is a good choice.

Not only that, it was revealed, qualcomm currently hold 30 billion dollars in cash, there are so abundant capital strength, for qualcomm, the continuation of the past strategy to buy small companies, or increase their r&d input, and so on, is not like buying grace wisdom pu company come faster.

After all grace wisdom pu has respectively located in five countries in the global seven factories, the factory will made silicon chips. In addition to these fabs, grace wisdom pu also have seven assembly house, before the factory is responsible for the sale in chip packaging, testing on them. For qualcomm, spend so much money is not wrong.

And, more importantly, in the future competition in the era of Internet of things, qualcomm is expected to move by occupy advantage, expand its competitive advantage in the industry, and promote semiconductor industry comprehensive and rapid into the era of Internet of things.
