Chinese buyers to participate in bidding, a bidding war across the Pacific for fairchild semiconductor looms. According to the New York times reported that, according to people familiar with a consortium led by China resources group has bid of about $2.5 billion bid for fairchild semiconductor. The offer was quoted at $21.70 a share, more than ON Semiconductor give $20 a share price last week. To learn more science and technology information, please pay close attention to every day of the electronic core smell of morning.
China resources group and clear the core China $2.5 billion bid for fairchild semiconductor
A semiconductor,
1, China resources group, and a $2.5 billion bid for fairchild semiconductor core China? As Chinese buyers to participate in bidding, a bidding war across the Pacific for fairchild semiconductor looms. According to the New York times reported that, according to people familiar with a consortium led by China resources group has bid of about $2.5 billion bid for fairchild semiconductor. The offer was quoted at $21.70 a share, more than ON Semiconductor give $20 a share price last week. Qing xin hua gen was also involved in the acquisition, the company has led to the graphics chip in the spring of the OmniVision acquisition. Fairchild Semiconductor admitted ON Tuesday that the company has received the higher than ON Semiconductor active bids, but did not disclose the identity of the bidder. Bloomberg reported that followed, the offer from Chinese buyers.
2, "Chinese core" is on the rise, the global supply chain reshuffle within five years. On December 9 news, as the government increased the support to the development of the chip design, chip industry in mainland China is hot, the United States and Taiwan area global voice gradually increases. But analysts believe that China is a strong drive chip industry development at the same time, should encourage innovation, and should not be single to gain market share and blindly chasing, redundant construction, avoid photovoltaic (pv), LCD industry. China spent billions or even billions of dollars to promote semiconductor industry to undertake independent research and development, industry cluster and spawned a chip design. Industry experts said that the mainland formation and qualcomm, mediatek chip manufacturers will eventually be competitive landscape.

Second, the smart home
1, 2018 years intelligent household market will be $68 billion. Research institutions Research and Markets the latest report predicts that over the next five years intelligent household equipment and services Markets around the world will be rising at an annual rate of 8% to 10%, the size of the market will reach $68 billion by 2018. According to the report, the rise of the Internet of things is an important driver of smart home market. Smart home technology has existed for decades, so far, markets are the main challenges for the consumer awareness of related technology is not high, in a leading position in the market is still some expensive products for the wealthy. Is expected in the future as intelligent household products price is lower, more middle-class consumers will enter the market, this also means that market competition will intensify.

Three, intelligent hardware
1, the Surface Phone new message: Intel chips. , according to foreign media reports, according to the latest news from the Microsoft Surface Phone will launch Intel processors, and Intel is now in development can challenge qualcomm Xiao dragon 820 processor, Surface Phone is likely to be the first pick up the processor's cell Phone. The Surface Phone will use all metal fuselage, the overall design style is similar to the family of Surface, may pick up in screen resolution of 2560 * 1440 5.2 inch / 5.5 inch screen, but does not rule out launch 4 k resolution of the screen. At the same time will bring innovation and underlying Surface coating Pen support, and enhanced the IR sensor. In the aspect of the camera can be equipped with some advanced features of 20 million or 15 million pixels main camera, positive May 8 million front-facing camera with LED flash.
2, do you believe? Smartphones disappear within five years. CNBC cited Sweden's Ericsson, a report its 100000 consumers in 40 countries surveyed, the result let person some accidents, because there are more than 50% of people believe that smartphone will become history, but this will happen within five years. These think disappearance of smartphone users, firmly believe that artificial intelligence (AI) is the best way of interaction, its not just on the screen, such as searching the web, get travel guide, and ACTS as a personal assistant, etc. In addition, the report also showed that nearly half of respondents (44%) think that AI can serve as a good teacher, a third of people hope to have the AI equipment company, 29% of people feel to discuss their condition with AI system will be more comfortable than communicate with the doctor. Disappearance of smartphone will exist in the form of a people more habit.

Fourth, the Internet of things
1, the microchip can use radio waves to "charge", help the Internet of things development. According to the British broadcasting corporation (BBC), Dutch scientists recently developed a kind of can capture energy from radio waves of the microchip and pass information. From the Netherlands PSV university of science and technology research team, said the chips or will help just beginning of the development of Internet technology. Now, more and more used to measure the temperature, illumination and air pollution circumstance of the microchip in the intelligent household and public places. But the traditional chip technology is one of the biggest challenges facing how to can work without the battery. "If you need a day to night around them to change the battery, we don't want to at home and configuration of hundreds of such sensors." The research, said Peter baer figure, professor. The team developed the new chip just solved the problem.

Fifth, automotive electronics
1, porsche 5 years after production of pure electric vehicles. On December 7, released a statement from porsche said porsche corporation supervisory board has approved the MissionE porsche's first electric car project, to the model 2020 is expected to realize the mass production, and put on the market. Porsche MissionE concept car has international motor show in Frankfurt in September first public appearance, it is also a porsche first pure electric vehicles. For the production of the car, to Stuttgart porsche will face the writer's main plant investment of about 700 million euros, in the next few years to create a new paint workshop and a new assembly plant. Existing engine plant for production of motor will be expanded. In addition, the original body shop also is expanding. In addition, the company said will also invest in other areas, such as h o weiss research and development center.
2, self-driving technology progress: vehicles can be independent judgment road conditions. According to foreign media reports, the world's largest non-profit professional technology institute "the international association of electrical and electronic engineers recently seems to be found by artificial intelligence neural network to a whole new approach to determine whether cars drive current road safety, and the law of one party is expected to make the future self-driving cars become more safety when driving in bad weather. IEEE r&d staff is at present through the analysis of the vehicle tire noise feedback method to judge the road was too slippery. For example, in 2014, IEEE mercedes-benz CLA models of rear tire parts found a place for a microphone to collect tire noise feedback, and in the Boston area of a variety of road test, carried out under various speeds.

1, SONY's $155 million takeover of Toshiba image sensor business. At the end of October, SONY and Toshiba will acquire reached a memorandum of understanding on the initial image sensor business. SONY announced on December 4, the two sides have reached a final deal. According to the agreement, Toshiba will take semiconductor manufacturing plant, equipment, and 300 mm silicon wafers production related assets transferred to SONY, transfer price of 19 billion yen. Both sides is expected, the deal will be in the year to March 31, 2016. Before that, of course, but also approved by the relevant regulatory authorities.
