More than 50% of vehicles will install embedded navigation in 2020
Strategy AnalyTIcs Automobile and Multimedia Communication Services (AMCS) released the latest research report pointing out "Automotive and Portable Navigation: Market Drivers and Forecasts 2012-2020". Major technology vendors such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft are starting to fight for in-car navigation, which may mean trouble for ConTInental, Harman, Garmin, and TomTom.
Editor's interpretation:
Google has long claimed that Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla are its customers, while Apple and many suppliers supporting its Siri personal assistant have also launched a strong offensive.
Unexpected shortage of NAND flash memory in the first quarter of 2013
According to the IHS company's mobile and embedded storage market tracking report, the demand for low-end smartphones in China increased sharply in the first quarter of this year, making memory suppliers unprepared, stimulating the growth of the NAND flash memory market and leading to a shortage of supply.
Editor's interpretation:
It is reported that the shipment of NAND flash memory in the first quarter was 8.7 billion (1GB equivalent), higher than the 8.2 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, and the highest level since the last five quarters.
Following the setbacks in 2012 and the subsequent reduction in NAND supply, memory makers faced the NAND shortage in the first quarter unexpectedly. What is even more surprising is that the demand in the second quarter is still high, resulting in a shortage of the entire industry, which is extremely rare for the NAND market.
USB 3.1 specification standard officially announced that the transmission bandwidth is twice that of the previous generation
August 2 news, USB 3.0 Promoter Group (USB 3.0 Promoter Group) once proposed in January this year to make the USB interface transmission rate of 10Gbps future development plan. After nearly six months, the USB 3.0 promotion organization finally announced the specifications of the USB 3.1 standard with a faster transfer rate.
Editor's interpretation:
According to the USB 3.0 promotion organization, the transmission bandwidth of USB 3.1 will be twice that of USB 3.0, and will continue to support USB 2.0 devices. However, when the first USB 3.1 device will be available is still unknown.
AMD's latest embedded G series chips consume an average of only 3 watts
AMD has introduced the AMD GX-210JA, the processor with the lowest power consumption. This new single-chip system has a TDP of only 6W, but AMD says it actually has a TDP of about 3W in normal use.
Editor's interpretation:
AMD GX-210JA is part of AMD ’s G-series chip family, which means its market is positioned as an embedded market and is more likely to be used in electronic signage, thin client systems, media players, or other devices. Not in a traditional PC computer.
It is said that photovoltaic power plants will receive 50% VAT refund immediately
Relevant departments will clarify the preferential policy of 50% VAT refund for the PV power station project. Analysts said that this will be another good news for the photovoltaic industry after China and Europe reach an understanding on the photovoltaic trade dispute.
Editor's interpretation:
The recent favorable industry in the photovoltaic industry can be described as continuous. First, some opinions issued by the State Council on promoting the healthy development of the photovoltaic industry are clear. From 2013 to 2015, the average annual installed photovoltaic capacity in China increased by about 10 million kilowatts, and by 2015 the total installed capacity reached 3500 Ten thousand kilowatts or more. Opinions also put forward corresponding requirements from aspects such as improving electricity price and subsidy policies, increasing fiscal and taxation support, and strengthening distribution network construction. Then at the end of last month, the Ministry of Commerce reported that China and the EU had reached a price commitment on the trade dispute of China's import of photovoltaic products into Europe. It is understood that this price commitment reflects the wishes of the vast majority of Chinese companies, so that Chinese photovoltaic products continue to export to the EU under the trade arrangements negotiated by the two parties, and maintain a reasonable market share.
Apple is eyeing the personalized data storage market for car driving
An Apple patent application published by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Thursday shows that Apple is trying to make its mobile device enter the personalized setting data storage market for car driving. Such setting data storage can also be used in home and other environments.
Editor's interpretation:
Apple's system around the user's car and home environment is undoubtedly regarded as a natural extension of the company's success. While the outside world has always been concerned that Apple will implement a similar strategy in the field of TV services, the company has quietly improved the functions of car services, which can also be regarded as the continuation of Apple's TV service strategy.
Apple confirms acquisition of Passif, developer of mobile communication chips
According to foreign media AllThingsD, an Apple spokesperson confirmed on Thursday that the company has completed the acquisition of Passif Semiconductor, a developer of mobile communication chips in Silicon Valley. The transaction details of both parties were not announced.
Editor's interpretation:
Passif's expertise lies in the design of low-power communication chips with a very small area, which may be used by Apple in future iPhones, iPads, or wearable devices that have not yet been disclosed. In addition to Passif, Apple has recently completed a series of acquisitions including crowdsourced positioning data company LocaTIonary and online traffic navigation application HopStop. After the acquisition of Passif, Apple's already quite strong semiconductor design team will be supplemented.
