Electronic Core Morning Post: Global Wafer Capacity Ranking, IBM Artificial Intelligence

Today's core language

IC Insights, a semiconductor market research organization, announced its 2015 global fab capacity rankings. The top ten did not change much. Only GlobalFoundries and Intel ranked the second and seventh. As of the end of December, Samsung's monthly capacity is equivalent to 2.534 million 200mm (8 inch) silicon wafers, with a market share of 15.5%, ranking first in the world. Most of its production capacity is used in the production of DRAM and flash memory.

First, the semiconductor

1. Global wafer production capacity ranking: TSMC is only Samsung. IC Insights, a semiconductor market research organization, announced its 2015 global fab capacity rankings. The top ten did not change much. Only GlobalFoundries and Intel ranked the second and seventh. As of the end of December, Samsung's monthly capacity is equivalent to 2.534 million 200mm (8 inch) silicon wafers, with a market share of 15.5%, ranking first in the world. Most of its production capacity is used in the production of DRAM and flash memory. Taiwan has two fabs in the top ten, namely TSMC and UMC. Among them, TSMC's monthly wafer production capacity reached 1.891 million, an increase of 14% over 2014, which is higher than Samsung's 8%. The gap narrowed from 688,000 in 2013 to 643,000. In 2014, TSMC's market share was 11.6% and UMC was 3.4%.

In 2014, TSMC's market share was 11.6% and UMC was 3.4%. Micron, Toshiba / SanDisk and SK Hynix are separated by 3-5, with market share of 9.8%, 8.2% and 8.1%.

2, Ford showcases new sensors: 3D maps can be drawn in real time. At this CES, Ford showed off a new tool and said it would help Ford win in fully automated driving – a light and radar Sensor that is only the size of a coffee can. This sensor was developed by Velodyne of Silicon Valley. Mark Fields, president and CEO of Ford Motor Company, said that the third-generation laser radar has been greatly reduced in size and can be installed in the rearview mirror of a car, enabling illumination ranges up to 200 meters. Called the "Ultra Puck", this new sensor features an elegant form factor and has a major impact on autonomous driving. MarkFields said the sensor can draw 3D maps in real time while driving, which will help strengthen Ford's software development capabilities and test a wider range of driving scenarios.

Second, artificial intelligence

1. Apple acquired EmoTIent, an artificial intelligence company. EmoTIent is based in San Diego. The company has previously received a total of $8 million in financing, mainly using artificial intelligence technology to judge people's emotions through analysis of facial expressions. At present, EmoTIent is able to distinguish basic expressions like joy, anger, sadness, surprise, etc., and can analyze some more subtle and complex expressions such as anxiety and depression. EmoTIent also provides an API interface to easily integrate its technology with any hardware or software.

2. Four companies will use IBM artificial intelligence: including Softbank robots. On the afternoon of January 7th, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty believes that the Internet of Things will develop rapidly. With the help of IBM, the Internet of Things will become more and more intelligent. On Wednesday, Luo Ruilan said in a keynote speech at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES): "This is a new era, the cognitive era, the dawn of digital commerce and digital intelligence." Luo Ruilan said that more than 500 partners and 80,000 developers are using the IBM Watson-based IoT platform. She called this platform "the world's first cognitive system." She pointed out that each new application will bring more data, and Watson will continue to learn from it and provide solutions to become smarter. “With wearables, sensors and cars, data is ubiquitous,” she said. The real difference is how to understand the data. Key partners include Under Armour, Softbank, Medtronic, and Whirlpool .

Third, intelligent hardware

1. Misfit launched the new smart bracelet Ray, which has become cylindrical. At this CES 2016 exhibition, Misfit released the new smart bracelet Ray, which is different from the previous Shine or Flash UFO model. Although Ray became a cylindrical one, it still continues the fashion of Misfit. design style. It is worth mentioning that Misfit Ray adopts the more popular and detachable modular design, coupled with the compact body of aluminum alloy, users should be able to easily find the watch or jewelry with it, even when There is no big problem with necklaces. In terms of functionality, Ray has also been upgraded. In addition to being able to monitor sleep and exercise status, the newly added vibration feedback with multi-color LED lights can complete the notification reminder tasks, such as incoming calls, text messages or alarm clocks.

2, Intel Black Technology: 6-inch mobile phone integrated 3D real-life camera. According to foreign media PC World, Intel has shown several "black technologies" at CES, including a 6-inch smartphone with a 3D real-life camera. It is reported that this phone uses a 6-inch 2560×1440 resolution display, equipped with Atom x7-Z8700 processor, built-in 64GB storage space, front and rear cameras are 2 million pixels and 8 million pixels, running Android operating system, Support Bluetooth, WiFi connection, there is an HDMI interface, priced at $ 399.
