Since the third quarter of 2020, the panel industry has ushered in the strongest price increase cycle in history. From the end of May 2020 to April 2021, the growth rates of 32/43/55/65-inch TV panels were 141%/91%/100%/56% respectively. At the same time, the problem of upstream chip shortages continues, and to a certain extent, the increase in panel growth has also intensified.

According to a recent study by Goldman Sachs, there are as many as 169 industries in the world that are affected to some extent by the shortage of chips, ranging from automobiles, steel products, concrete production to air-conditioning manufacturing, and even soap production.

How do you view the trend of the panel industry this year? How to solve the problem of chip shortage? How should companies travel through the cyclical fluctuations of the industry? Sohu think tank “To Know 100 People” talked with TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng.

Li Dongsheng said that this round of panel price increases was mainly caused by the strong growth in demand for display products since the epidemic and the cyclical fluctuations in the industry. The current shortage of supply and demand is mainly concentrated on large-size products, and the supply of small and medium-sized products is relatively sufficient. It is expected that a basic balance of supply and demand can be achieved within this year. Li Dongsheng pointed out that in the past ten years, the entire display industry has experienced two cyclical fluctuations, and now it is the third time. For enterprises, it is necessary to have the ability to operate and manage through industry cycle fluctuations. In the management through this cycle, one aspect of the company must have strategic control capabilities, and the other must rely on improving its own core capabilities, especially product technical capabilities. “The development of the semiconductor display industry is not just driven by market demand, but also driven by innovation. So for TCL, we are constantly expanding our production capacity, but every increase in production capacity is not simple. The expansion of scale must make progress in the iterative upgrade of products.” Li Dongsheng said. Talking about the shortage of chips, Li Dongsheng believes that there are two main reasons. One is the rapid growth of the demand side, especially the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, and the other is the insufficient new investment on the supply side. Although the investment has increased rapidly in the past two years , But it still takes time to form an effective production capacity. Li Dongsheng predicts that the current chip shortage will continue for 9 to 12 months. In Li Dongsheng’s view, the development of the chip industry is not just about having funds, but also related to technical capabilities. The lack of domestic high-end chip manufacturing capabilities and the lack of core equipment are currently the bottleneck restricting the development of the chip industry. Facing the technological blockade, China is increasing its investment in equipment, technology, and materials to accelerate the development of China’s chip integrated circuit manufacturing industry. “But everyone should not have too optimistic expectations about this process. I believe it will take at least 3 to 5 years.” Finally, Li Dongsheng pointed out, In the long run, the science and technology industry must have a global division of labor. It is not the most competitive method for a country to fully complete its industrial chain behind closed doors. In the future, we must be more open and win-win cooperation to better promote the healthy development of the industry. TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng The following is a compilation of interviews: Sohu Finance: You once said that globalization is a sustainable way for companies to cope with changes in the global economic landscape and the new challenges of trade protectionism. What is the current progress of TCL’s global layout? Can you share a few successful experiences of TCL in expanding the international market? Li Dongsheng: TCL has initially formed a complete global industrial layout. We have established eight industrial bases in major overseas countries and regions. In the near future, our ninth industrial base in India will also be built. We have established industrial supply chains around the world so that our industrial supply chains can penetrate into major countries and regional markets. One is that tariffs and trade protectionism can be avoided, and this new business model can also be recognized and recognized by the host country. stand by. We do not simply sell products to relevant countries and regions, but set up our industrial parks locally and establish corresponding supply chains. In this way, while developing our own global business, we can also contribute to the local social and economic development. So this kind of business model has been developing smoothly in all countries and regions so far. Sohu Finance: Starting from the third quarter of 2020, the panel industry has ushered in the strongest price increase cycle in history. How do you see the trend of the panel industry this year? Li Dongsheng: China is now the world’s leading producer of semiconductor display products. Taking the LCD industry as an example, we have accounted for more than half of the global production capacity. In other emerging display technology areas, we are also catching up quickly. This round of panel price increases is affected by the cyclical effects of the industry on the one hand, and during the epidemic, the demand for display products has grown very strongly. The current cycle of relatively tight supply may continue for a while, but in the end it will tend to balance supply and demand. The current supply and demand shortage of semiconductor display products is mainly concentrated in large-size products, and the supply of small and medium-sized products is still sufficient. China’s semiconductor display production capacity has been relatively large in investment in the past few years, so to alleviate this gap in supply and demand, it should be possible to achieve a basic balance between supply and demand within this year. Sohu Finance: How do you think companies should travel through the cyclical fluctuations of the industry? Li Dongsheng: For enterprises, we need to have a long-term business plan, and have the ability to operate and manage through industry cycle fluctuations. In the past ten years, the entire display industry has experienced two cyclical fluctuations, and now it is the third time. In the management through this cycle, one aspect of the company must have strategic control capabilities, and the other must rely on improving its own core capabilities, especially product technical capabilities. The development of the semiconductor display industry is not just driven by a force of market demand, another very important driving force comes from Driven by innovation . The development of some new display technologies and display products will create a new market demand. So for TCL, we are constantly expanding our production capacity, but Every increase in production capacity is not a simple scale expansion, it must be progress in the iterative upgrade of products. The two projects we started building in Guangzhou recently are a new attempt. We want to make a breakthrough in new display technology and open up a new market demand. Sohu Finance: How do you view the problem of chip shortage and how much impact will it have on TCL? Li Dongsheng: Chip supply has indeed been in short supply since last year, I think It is mainly caused by the rapid growth on the demand side and the insufficient growth on the supply side. On the demand side, especially with the development of electric vehicles, the demand for related chips is growing very fast. On the supply side, due to insufficient investment in the entire chip industry in the past few years, although domestic investment has increased relatively rapidly in the past two years, it will take some time to form effective production capacity. I think, The current chip shortage may continue for 9 to 12 months, but in the end it will be faster to balance. . The chip industry is actually divided into two parts, one is chip design, and the other is chip manufacturing. TCL will focus on chip design. At this stage, we will not consider investing in large-scale wafer manufacturing plants for the time being. As a terminal product manufacturer, we have an advantage in chip design. In fact, in the development of many smart technologies, it will integrate this technology into the chip, so if we have the capability of this chip, we will be even more powerful in the development of related smart product technologies. Sohu Finance: What do you think is the biggest dilemma in the development of the chip industry? Li Dongsheng: The bottleneck in the development of the chip industry, I think one is the accumulation of capabilities, and the other is the lack of core equipment. At present, the manufacturing process capability, technology and team capability of domestic chips are still far behind compared with Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, and Japan. Therefore, the construction of this project is not only about funds, but also related to technical capabilities. The second is limited by equipment. At present, some core equipment for chips cannot be produced in China. Everyone may have paid attention to many reports on the Internet. For example, SMIC’s current production process is 28 nanometers. If you go forward, the equipment will not be sold to us abroad, and the domestic development of this equipment, I believe It takes a relatively long time, so the manufacturing capacity of this higher-end chip is also a constraint. However, this round of technological blockade of China will promote China’s equipment, technology, or materials, we will increase investment in this area, and will accelerate the development of China’s chip integrated circuit manufacturing industry. But this process should not be too optimistic. I believe it will be a process of at least 3 to 5 years. Therefore, in the long run, the science and technology industry must have a global division of labor. It is not the most competitive method for a country to completely complete its industrial chain behind closed doors. Some of the current practices are also forced by the situation. Therefore, in the future development, we still need to have a more open mind and a win-win mentality to better promote the healthy development of the industry

Missing computer chips Short-time work at VW and Daimler

Status: 16.06.2021 10:23 a.m.

Time and again, the production lines in car plants stand still – the manufacturers refer to the industry-wide shortage of chips. Now it hits Volkswagen and Daimler again. When will the situation improve? From Angela Göpfert, tagesschau.de There will be stoppages in the coming week at the VW main plant. In the Tiguan, Touran and Tarraco production as well as in the Golf production in the late and night shifts, the Wolfsburg switch to short-time work. In the Daimler plants in Bremen and Rastatt, short-time work is already the order of the day. The reason is once again the industry-wide shortage of chips.

Interruptions cost billions

It is nowhere near the first time that the shortage of semiconductors has slowed automakers’ production. It was not until the end of May that the VW luxury subsidiary Audi at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations suffered production interruptions. BMW had been hit a few weeks earlier. The Ford plant in Cologne is also affected. The German auto industry is not alone with its problems: The US auto giant Ford calculates charges of around 2.5 billion dollars this year due to the lack of chips. The problems in the automotive industry have consequences for the entire economy. Just today, the researchers at the Munich Ifo Institute lowered their forecast for the growth of the German gross domestic product this year from 3.7 to 3.3 percent. To justify this, they also referred to bottlenecks in the delivery of intermediate products such as semiconductors.

Improvement in the third quarter?

It could take a few more weeks for a change for the better. According to experts, the automotive industry is heading for the lowest point. “We are facing the toughest six weeks,” said Murat Aksel, VW Board Member for Purchasing, recently in an interview with the “Handelsblatt”. The situation should improve again in the third quarter. Competitor Daimler also expects an improvement in the second half of the year. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) also estimates that the situation should ease from July.

Around four million cars less

Because of the lack of chips, automakers worldwide produced 1.4 million fewer cars in the first quarter and 1.6 million in the second quarter, the BCG experts calculate. For the entire year 2021, the failures are likely to amount to four to six million vehicles.

05/04/2021

The consulting firm Alix Partners in Munich estimates 3.9 million cars. This corresponds to a value of non-produced cars of around 91 billion euros.

Lessons from the shortage of chips

The car manufacturers have long since learned their lessons from the shortage of chips: They are carefully reviewing their supply chains and are not only expanding their warehousing for chips. After all, the supply chains have thinned out after a pandemic for more than a year, even for important intermediate products, for example in the chemical industry.

06/07/2021

Security of supply is suddenly a priority again after years of just-in-time delivery. Chip manufacturers are also taking strong countermeasures and are pushing ahead with expanding their capacities at full speed. In Germany, the new high-tech chip factory from Bosch ensure regional supplies.

Misjudgments as the cause

But how did it come to that? Where does this lack of chips come from, which is currently keeping the auto industry and its employees in suspense? With the outbreak of the corona pandemic, demand for cars collapsed and chip manufacturers cut their production plans.

05/31/2021

When the demand for new vehicles suddenly increased surprisingly in the summer of 2020, chip manufacturers such as Infineon or NXP were overwhelmed by the demand. The current chip shortage is therefore based on a whole series of misjudgments – on the part of car manufacturers and suppliers, but also on the part of chip manufacturers. The lack of chips also shows that the auto industry did not come through the Corona crisis as badly as feared.

According to the The Intercept, In addition to the usual way, there is an “unofficial” way to ensure that the data on the iPhone cannot be restored. However, doing so would mean damaging the device. The official way to wipe iPhone The encryption key is where your iPhone/iPad uses to decrypt information, so removing this key leaves all your data permanently encrypted and therefore inaccessible. The first thing you’ll need is a working iPhone/iPad that you can navigate using the touchscreen or connect to a computer. Before selling, giving or transferring iPhone, users should wipe old personal data. Photo: iMore. The easiest way is to do the following steps: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings . If your device for some reason cannot access Setting , you can try the second way by connecting them to your laptop or desktop and restore them through a third device. If the above two methods still don’t work, try putting the device into Recovery Mode , iPhone/iPad will return to factory settings and erase all your data. Alternatively, if your device won’t even turn on, use Force Restart according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then follow one of the methods outlined above. The most thorough way to delete data If you have tried all the steps above and your device still won’t turn on or can’t connect to the computer, the best way is to destroy the memory chip, which contains all user data. The flash memory chip (yellow border below) is in the same black board and controller chip. Photo: The Intercept. In ‘s post The Intercept , the author used iPad 6 as an example of how to destroy memory chips. However, regardless of model, the general procedure is the same: remove the iPhone/iPad screen, find the board, and destroy the memory chip. To get the memory chip, you must disassemble your iPad. First, find a way to remove the iPad’s touch screen so you can look at the internal components. There are specialized tools on the market to remove the panel, but if such tools are not available, you can heat around the edge of the screen, to melt the adhesive, then use a flat object and gently pry the monitor up. After removing the screen, you’ll find the iPad’s battery with a metal shell on the side that houses the iPad’s logic board and memory chip. Remove all securing screws and connection cables, and remove the board cover. Use the drill to destroy the memory chip. Photo: The Intercept. After removing the cover, you will see the memory chip is silver and located in a metal shell, next to the logic board and the black processor chip. Now all you have to do is take out the flash chip and destroy it. The suggestion from the article is to use a drill and drill through the memory chip until the device breaks. The author of the article recommends that you ensure safety issues before starting to destroy the aforementioned chip. The above method is also used by many hackers around the world to delete evidence. Catfish, the owner of Chicken Drumstick, the biggest game cheat ever, recounted smashing his memory chips one by one to erase the crime. Once discovered, Catfish quickly shut down the servers running the cheat software, and hammered out all the hard drives that might still contain cheat-related data. “I panicked so much that I smashed every chip I saw in the SSD. Then I dumped it all a few miles away,” Catfish said.

Raw material for batteries Is nickel still in short supply?

Status: 15.06.2021 3:55 p.m.

First a lack of chips, then a lack of wood, soon a lack of nickel? E-mobility also devours resources. Due to the increasing demand for batteries, the demand for nickel is likely to increase strongly. The sufficient supply of the metal nickel could become critical in the next few years. The German Raw Materials Agency (DERA) warns of this in a current analysis. The background to this is the increasing demand generated by the turnaround towards electromobility. “We assume that, depending on the scenario, global nickel demand will increase from around 2.4 million tons today to around 3.4 million tons in 2025,” explains Dr. Michael Szurlies, nickel expert at the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). “Overall, the nickel market is facing a turning point in terms of demand in the coming years, which will lead to a significant shift in market shares within the areas of application.” As a special department of the BGR, DERA advises the federal government, business and NGOs on raw material issues, for example on security of supply and the ecological consequences.

Nickel is used for batteries

So far, nickel has mainly been used in steel production: around 85 percent is currently used in the manufacture of stainless steel and alloys, as DERA writes. The use in batteries currently accounts for around five percent. That will change in the near future. Because nickel is now a “key raw material” for the transport and energy transition, according to the study. Due to the strong demand generated by the global expansion of electromobility, the experts expect that by 2025, depending on the scenario, the share could be up to 21 percent. This would make batteries the second largest area of ​​application.

07.03.2021

Most of the nickel comes from Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s largest supplier of nickel. The experts write that the vast majority of the new global production and refining capacities for the metal are expected there by 2025. This leads to a significant increase in the market concentration for nickel – and also has the consequence that the power of the main suppliers increases. Whether prices can also be expected to rise in the future due to rising demand depends on whether supply also increases. It is not excluded. In order to reduce the dependency on international suppliers, consideration is being given to extracting important raw materials – including nickel – in Europe. Experts emphasize that a European supply chain could make economic sense. In January, Peter Buchholz, head of DERA, said it would be good if Europe also built up its own capacities. The projects just have to be cost-competitive.

Recycling is becoming more important

The automotive industry in particular, but also machine builders with a focus on solar or wind power, steel manufacturers or the IT and medical technology industries are dependent on a continuous supply of basic materials such as nickel. This also applies to so-called rare earths – elements such as cobalt or lithium, which is usually the central raw material for batteries in pure electric drives. The authors of the study also have the issue of sustainability in mind: “In view of the goal of reducing emissions of climate-damaging carbon dioxide through electromobility, in future, apart from questions of availability, the most environmentally friendly and sustainable extraction and processing of nickel will be more important.” One has to ask how more nickel and nickel compounds can be recovered at the end of the life cycle of the products and how less environmentally harmful and at the same time more socially fair promotion can be achieved. On the one hand, there are technological developments towards greater efficiency and fewer emissions. On the other hand, the increasing mining in tropical regions is a problem due to the large amount of land required.

Here, Apple officially announced the new generation of software series, including: iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey and watchOS 8. (Photo: XDA Developers) Apple’s event did not have the appearance of hardware products as previously rumored. This makes many fans feel disappointed because waiting for the launch of Apple’s new MacBook Pro. However, Apple accidentally leaked information about its next-generation MacBook Pro laptop and M1X chip during the WWDC 2021 event that took place last week. Specifically, in the live video of the WWDC event on YouTube, 9to5Mac’s Max Balzer discovered 2 tags “M1X MacBook Pro” and “M1X” added by Apple to the description of the video even during the entire event. , “Apple defect” does not mention the MacBook Pro laptop or the new generation M1X chip. (Photo: Max Balzer / 9to5Mac) This leads the technology world to believe that Apple has accidentally leaked information about a product that it has never launched – the new generation MacBook Pro with the M1X chip – an upgraded version of the M1 chip that Apple launched in 2016. last. This is considered an unbelievable mistake by Apple, when so far, the company is still famous for keeping the information confidential of its products until the launch date. (Photo: UNSPLASH) Apple’s confusing mistake also reinforces the credibility of the leaked information previously posted by analysts and many technology sites. Three weeks ago, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg once said that users will soon see the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro “this summer”. The new generation MacBook Pro will come with an SD card slot, an HDMI port, MagSafe charging, a high-performance GPU, a CPU with twice the number of RAM cores up to 64GB. (Photo: Internet) Ming-chi Kuo also said that the MacBook Pro 2021 is expected to put an end to Intel chipsets and Apple will gradually equip Apple Silicon chips for the entire product ecosystem in the future. Another source said that the new generation chipset on the 14-inch MacBook Pro will be called M1X, with up to 20 cores (up to 16 high-performance cores), a significant upgrade over the 8-core chip (4 high, 4 low) existing M1 chip.

These tests are being conducted at a secret facility near Apple’s Apple Park headquarters, according to The Independent. Photo: DigitalTrends “The purpose for the chips being tested is to see if they underperform in extreme situations – and if so, to make sure they only happen in the lab and not in the wild. the phone is in the hands of the user,” said The Independent. “Any of these inaccuracies can be a weakness for the device. Photo: Business Insider The Independent added that it is rare for a normal phone device to have to pass such extreme tests as it has to go from -40 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius. But the concern is real because if the chips lack security in such situations, bad guys can take advantage and the data stored inside can be stolen,” said The Independent. Photo: Business Insider The site was obtained in an interview with Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering.

Now, people can even design complex chips through artificial intelligence to further train and generate more powerful artificial intelligence.

This Wednesday, Google published a paper in the “Nature” magazine that its development of AI can already design chips faster than humans.

According to the description in the paper, the same TPU chip(Tensor processing unit, an integrated circuit dedicated to accelerating machine learning), it takes a few months for humans to design it, and the AI ​​can be completed in less than 6 hours.

The paper said that based on a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, the AI ​​has a generalized chip design method.

Generally speaking, the use area of ​​the computing chip is only tens to hundreds of square millimeters. In such a small and limited space, thousands of components need to be accommodated, including memory, arithmetic and logic units, and nano-circuits that connect these components together and are several kilometers long.

In the chip design process, one of the most challenging is “chip floor plan.” This involves determining the best place to place these components, just as architects design the interior space of a building to accommodate all the necessary fixtures and accessories.

Humans usually arrange components in neat lines, which means more time is spent.

Researchers at Google used 10,000 chip floor plans to train the AI. It can design its chips using a more decentralized method that is superior to human design.

The paper claims that this new chip design model may have a “significant and far-reaching impact” on the semiconductor industry.

This AI design method has been used to design the next-generation Google TPU, which is expected to save thousands of hours of manpower for each generation of computer chips in the future.

The project is led by Azalia Mirhoseini and Anna Goldie, the two leaders of the ML for Systems team currently leading Google Research.

In 1945, von Neumann published a landmark “101-page” report that laid the foundation for the modern classical binary computer architecture. And this, only 76 years ago.

In less than a hundred years, the development of computers has progressed by leaps and bounds, from the first behemoth that needed to be measured in tons to gradually evolve into smart phones in our hands.

No one can be sure where the limits of Moore’s Law are. This can be said to be a victory for artificial intelligence or a victory for mankind.

There are risks in the market and investment needs to be cautious. This article does not constitute investment advice.

Stars on Wall Street, don’t miss good content

The WeChat push mechanism has changed, don’t forget to click “Watching”

Recently, Apple officially released the next-generation desktop system macOS Monterey, and also added some interesting features. such as:

The portrait mode in FaceTime video blurs the background;

Live text used to copy and paste, find or translate text in photos;

Interactive 3D earth in map application;

More detailed maps of cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and London in the Maps app;

Text-to-speech conversion in more languages, including Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish;

Device keyboard dictation that performs all processing completely offline;

Unlimited keyboard dictation (previously limited to 60 seconds per instance);

……

It seems that a lot of new capabilities have been added, but the problem is that on the function page of macOS Monterey, there is a line of small characters displayed. The following functions require a Mac equipped with an M1 chip to use.

Give up Intel processors?

Judging from the currently confirmed news, even if these machines are not old enough to be compatible with new functions, and are still very smooth and easy to use, some new functions of macOS Monterey cannot be used on Macs and MacBooks equipped with Intel processors.

macOS Monterey currently looks like it was designed specifically for the M1. If you still want to use an Intel processor version of the Mac, you may not be able to blur the background when using FaceTime; you cannot use the neural network to read the text in Swedish , Danish, Norwegian, Finnish; offline device dictation is not possible, that is, voice-to-text, and unlimited continuous voice-to-text, etc.

This kind of “special treatment” actually makes some users feel uncomfortable. They think that it is also an Apple product and some function optimization should be synchronized; some users think that some functional differences based on hardware capabilities are unavoidable, and the problem is not big understanding.

In addition, Apple has always done a good job in supporting old devices. Even though the transition to its own chips has been completed, Cook still publicly promised to continue to support Intel-based Macs.

Intel processors lack the neural engine needed for new features?

Apple did not directly explain why these features cannot be used on Intel-based Mac computers. But according to speculation, it is because Intel-based Mac computers lack the neural engine needed for some new features.

At present, Apple is making a two-year transformation for Mac computers, from using Intel processors to using custom Apple silicon chips, which is expected to be completed before the 2022 World Developers Conference (WWDC).

However, facts have also proved that Macs equipped with M1 chips are much faster than “predecessors” equipped with Intel chips, and even the basic MacBook Air equipped with M1 chips outperformed the 16-inch ones equipped with Intel chips in benchmark tests. MacBook Pro.

There are also rumors that Apple plans to redesign the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro around the end of this year and will use the faster M1 chip.

At present, although some of the new features are not available, macOS Monterey is still compatible with a variety of Intel-based Mac computers, and Apple is also providing a beta version for developers. Software updates may be rolled out to all users between September and November.

The project “Research and production of biochips based on DNA microarray technology for the diagnosis of some human diseases”, belongs to the Program to develop a number of high-tech industries managed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The goal of the project is to master the technology of manufacturing biochips based on DNA microarray; to produce biological chip sets that meet the quality standards of in vitro diagnostic biological products – IVD; At the same time, these biochips can be applied to clinical diagnosis. BIMEDTECH officials and employees implement the project To implement the project, BIMEDTECH collaborated with leading units such as the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, the Central Lung Hospital and the Cardiology Institute – Bach Mai Hospital to conduct surveys of known gene mutations. found in biochips of international production and a number of new or specific genetic mutations in humans and pathogens in Vietnam that are associated with diseases: thalassemia, 17 bacterial strains non-tuberculosis (NTM) and clopidogrel-resistant patients in patients undergoing cardiovascular intervention. Along with that, BIMEDTECH has invested in building a clean room system and the world’s leading advanced and modern equipment and machines into the factory in the Hi-Tech Park of Ho Chi Minh City. BIMEDTECH has signed cooperation agreements with high-tech companies in the United States and Europe to receive technology transfer for the production of DNA and Protein Microarray, the foundation for developing products for the diagnosis of a number of diseases in Vietnam. people. Take the lead in mastering technology With the support of the program, BIMEDTECH team has developed 3 products: BIMEDCHIP Thalassemia Detection Kit for diagnosis and treatment of thalassemia. This is the first in vitro diagnostic kit product made in Vietnam that allows simultaneous detection of many mutations causing congenital anemia including alpha and beta – thalassemia in just one test with accurate results. , fast time to get results with suitable cost. Thalassemia is a group of inherited anemias. Vietnam is a country with a high prevalence of thalassemia in the world: About 3% of the population carries the thalassemia gene, the prevalence is about 0.5-1% for the Kinh ethnic group, and a high increase of 10-25% in the Kinh population. some hill tribes. Early diagnosis and treatment of thalassemia reduces morbidity and mortality from thalassemia. Next, is BIMEDCHIP Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria Panel Kit for TB diagnosis. This kit provides results quickly, in as little as 6 hours, compared to traditional culture methods that can take weeks. Providing fast and accurate results helps medical staff to provide effective and timely treatment regimens, bringing benefits to patients. In particular, BIMEDCHIP Cardiovascular Drug PGx Testing Kit allows to detect whether a patient has changes in genes related to liver metabolism of Clopidogrel, Statin, Sinthrome drugs or not in a single test, thereby helping medical staff choose the right dose or drug for each patient, bringing the best effect for drug use. The successful implementation of the project is expected to contribute to improving the current limited production of medical equipment in Vietnam, meeting the increasing health care needs of the community, and at the same time. making an important contribution to the successful implementation of the Program on the development of a number of high-tech industries.

Nowadays, when you mention HiSilicon, everyone will think of Kirin chips. However, in addition to Kirin chips for smart devices, HiSilicon also has Kunpeng series service CPUs for data centers; AI chipsets for artificial intelligence, Ascend series Soc ; Used to connect chips such as Barong baseband chips; other dedicated chips (security, Internet of Things, etc.). HiSilicon, which has always been unknown, turned from the “spare tire” to the right at the juncture of Huawei’s huge survival crisis.

Relying on the escort of HiSilicon Kirin chip all the way, Huawei slowly gains a foothold in the mobile phone field and gains a foothold in the high-end with self-developed chips. Today, there is no TSMC’s production capacity to support smartphone processor shipments that have dropped by 88% compared to the same period last year. Although the most expensive in the 21st century is talent, the salary costs and various expenditures of 7,000 engineers are still a huge burden for Huawei. Faced with various doubts in the industry, Chen Lifang, director of Huawei, once again stated that HiSilicon continues to develop world-leading semiconductor components, and HiSilicon will not make any reorganization or layoff decisions.

Give up the fantasy to make chips! Huawei HiSilicon is “forced to operate”, and these 7,000 people “cannot be less than one”! Despite the sanctions, Huawei HiSilicon will promote more product upgrades. On the other hand, it will accelerate the “de-beautification” process. This will promote the emergence of Huawei’s new supply chain partners. The rebirth of Huawei’s chips will be in the near future. arrival.

Not long ago, industry chain news said: In order to compete for the initiative in chip manufacturing, HiSilicon is developing 3nm process chips. Even if Huawei loses TSMC in the field of chip foundry, this does not affect HiSilicon’s advanced manufacturing process. There are not a few manufacturers that can “burn money” in the chip field. Perhaps Huawei should pay more attention to employee movements to prevent HiSilicon’s talent loss. What do you think of this?

Work hard to bring you a different perspective from the media!

Cheese and potato chips are a snack that both children and adults will love. If you are not satisfied with the quality of packaged snacks at the store. You can make this snack yourself to ensure the health of your family. Ms. Nguyen Viet Ha (banker, Thai Binh) is passionate about cooking. Although the work at the office is quite busy and stressful, for her, being in the kitchen is the fastest way to relieve stress. Ms. Nguyen Viet Ha. 9X confided that she had a “evil” reputation because she never knew how to buy her child a packet of snacks. Loving my children, sometimes I add potato chips and cheese to the snack menu to make my children less hungry, especially during this sensitive epidemic season without having to go out to buy.

Photo: The Verge The above information was shared by the developers of the graphic and design application Artstudio Pro on the Procreare forum. Accordingly, the application can only use up to 5 GB of RAM on the latest iPad. According to the developers, trying to use more than this amount of space causes the application to crash. Photo: The Verge “There was a big problem with the iPad Pro running the M1 chip. After testing the pressure tests on an iPad Pro M1 with 16 GB of RAM, it turned out that the application could only use 5 GB of RAM or less. If used more, the application will crash. This limit is only 0.5 GB more RAM than the old iPads that only had 6 GB of RAM,” the programmer shared. Photo: The Verge Thus, with single applications, as is the case with Artstudio Pro, users do not seem to benefit too much even though the new iPad Pro has an increased RAM capacity. However, overall, with the increased amount of RAM, you can still open more applications to run in the background at the same time because iPadOS itself is not limited to the amount of RAM used. Photo: The Verge The iPad has long been criticized that iPadOS doesn’t allow users to take advantage of the device’s full hardware potential. Apple will hold this year’s WWDC event on June 7. Here, iPadOS 15 will certainly be introduced as well. Bloomberg previously said that iPadOS 15 will bring a completely redesigned Home screen.

Huawei is starting to move into the car business after being hit by a US ban that made it lose access to chip design software for smartphones. The company recently launched the Seres SF5 crossover between Huawei and energy firm Cyrus. This model features smartphone connectivity and automatically transfers music and navigation information between the two sides, and is equipped with voice control technology and an audio system with 11 speakers. Visitors at Auto Shanghai exhibition in Shanghai (China). Photo: Reuters. Sources familiar with the matter said that, in addition to working with Changan to develop joint venture-branded smart cars, Huawei also plans to launch its own branded electric vehicles. and is in talks to buy a controlling stake in the electric vehicle division of a small domestic automaker. Huawei’s partnership with Chongqing Changan comes amid a global shortage of semiconductors and particularly affects carmakers. According to observers, switching to the automotive chip business is a more appropriate new direction, especially when the company is unable to produce chips for smartphones due to the bans from the US. Changan is currently unavailable for comment. Meanwhile, Huawei said it will let automakers make announcements about their cooperation relationships. Battery maker CATL, also part of the partnership, was also unavailable for comment.

The global chip shortage could last until 2023. (Source: Nikkei) Came in by surprise The Covid-19 pandemic was the first to cause the global economy to fall into recession last year, disrupting supply chains and changing consumer shopping patterns. So, to cope with the pandemic, automakers are forced to cut chip orders in 2020, while chip manufacturing companies also reduce production activities. But the rapid recovery and mis-predictions of car buyer demand have caused automakers to rush to place orders in large quantities. Meanwhile, the supply of semiconductor chips is not enough. In addition, the US government’s sanctions on Chinese technology corporations, plus consumers who bought many laptops, game consoles and other electronic products during the pandemic led to Inventory is getting smaller and smaller. Although computer chips are not very complicated or expensive, they are an integral part of making electronic devices and household items. Shortages are getting worse, spreading from the car industry to the consumer electronics market. Estimates by the US-based Semiconductor Industry Association say about 75% of global manufacturing capacity is in East Asia, led by TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung (Korea). U.S. semiconductor companies account for 47 percent of global chip sales, but only 12 percent of global output is produced here. The shortfall is due to Asian companies investing too little in 8-inch chip factories. These companies have struggled to ramp up production as demand for 5G phones and laptops grew faster than expected. Qualcomm Inc, Samsung’s smartphone chip maker, is one of the major chipmakers struggling to keep up with consumer demand. Apple’s main supplier Foxconn also warned about the lack of chips affecting the supply chain for customers. Widespread impact The chip crisis hit the car industry first, especially on the productivity and sales of big companies like General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen. According to market research firm IHS Markit, the shortage of electronic chips affected the production process of 1.3 million cars and trucks worldwide in the first quarter of 2021. The company’s report also shows that the Renesas chip plant fire in Japan in March, as well as disruption to chip factories due to severe winter weather in Texas, will cause shortages. becomes serious. Last month, the British mini-car maker said it had suspended production lines for three days because of chip shortages. Recently, Ford also warned that the number of products is at risk of falling to 1.1 million vehicles this year. At the end of last year, the impact of the chip shortage crisis spread to consumer electronics. Last month, Apple’s financials indicated that the company would suffer losses of between three and four billion dollars in the first two quarters of the year, with the biggest impact on Mac and iPad products. Recently, Chinese technology giant Xiaomi increased the prices of some TV models, citing the fact that the price of key components increased higher than before. Meanwhile, two electronics groups Samsung of Korea and Sony of Japan also simultaneously increased product prices. In addition, the crisis has begun to affect China’s home appliance manufacturing sector. The world’s largest maker of home appliances, Midea Group, said the price of chips used to make home appliances would soar if the global chip shortage persists. The biggest impact from the chip crisis is still consumers. While demand for consumer electronics and automotive items tends to be quite price-sensitive, a reduced supply can increase the price of affected items by 1-3%. This could temporarily boost inflation later this year. Chip pressure has pushed up car prices in the US. New prices averaged $37,200 in the first quarter, up 8.4% year-over-year. Meanwhile, production disruptions due to chip shortages will continue. CEO of chip maker Infineon (Germany) Reinhard Ploss estimated that it will take about two years for chip supply and demand to be balanced. THIUY VUY (according to SCMP/Reuters)

Specifically, Apple marketing officer Scott Broderick and screen engineer Vincent Gu just had a conversation with Apple Bitz XL podcast host Brian Tong about the new iPad Pro with the topic of rotating the M1 chip and screen. Liquid Retina XDR image. They say that Apple cannot incorporate new screen technology in the 11-inch version and keep its weight as low as possible. The 11-inch iPad is more portable, so Apple decided not to use a mini LED display because using a new screen would significantly increase both the weight and thickness of the iPad. Broderick said: “For iPad Pro 11 users, they simply want a super powerful iPad in a slim body less than 450 grams, and for users of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro they are looking for one. what allows them to be their best and make great products out of it. So bringing Mini-LED technology to the 12.9-inch version makes sense for truly professional users.” This reason sounds quite absurd and many people think that perhaps due to the lack of components, Apple has covered up the exact reason. The new Mini-LED display has a real difference. Therefore, there are quite a few people who are disappointed when they cannot experience this new technology on the smaller iPad Pro 2021.

In the Vietnamese market, the 5G version of 12 GB RAM / 128 GB ROM costs VND 30.99 million. The price of the 12 GB RAM / 256 GB ROM version is 33.99 million VND.

But many Covid-19 tests can give results within hours without sending the sample to a lab, and most of these tests use an approach called microfluidics. What are microfluidics? A microfluidics system is any device that handles small amounts of liquid. Fluid moves through channels thinner than a hair, and tiny valves can turn the flow on and off. These channels are made of materials such as glass, polymers, paper or gel. One of the ways to move liquids is to use a mechanical pump; another way is to use the surface charge of certain materials; and one more way is to use so called capillary action – commonly known as wick. One thing is clear, every nook and cranny of the human body is microfluidic. We could not be born or function without complex blood capillaries that carry food, oxygen, and signaling molecules to every cell. Like microelectronics, size is a key factor in microfluids. As components get smaller, devices can rely on the exotic properties of liquids on a small scale, can work faster, more efficiently, and have cheaper manufacturing costs. The microfluidics revolution has been quietly shouldering microelectronics technology. Another major benefit of microfluidic devices is that they require only a very small amount of liquid and can therefore be very small in size. NASA has been considering using microfluidic analyzers for their long Mars missions. The analysis of precious liquids – such as human blood – also benefits from the ability to use small samples. Example: A glucose meter is a super liquid instrument that requires only one drop of blood to measure a diabetic’s blood sugar. Chances are you have been using microfluidics quite often in your life. Inkjet printers shoot out tiny droplets of ink. The 3D printer extrudes the molten polymer through a microfluidic nozzle. A nebulizer for asthma patients will spray out tiny droplets of medicine. The pregnancy test relies on the flow of urine in a microfluidic strip of paper. In scientific research, microfluids can direct drugs, nutrients or any liquid to very specific parts of an organism to more accurately simulate biological processes. The future of microfluidics Microfluidics will be key to bringing medicine into a new, fast-paced, affordable era. Wearables that measure substances in sweat to track fitness progress and implantable devices that help deliver cancer drugs locally to a patient’s tumor are some of the next frontiers in microbiology. biomedical liquid. Researchers are developing complex, fascinating microfluidic systems called organs on a chip that aim to simulate different aspects of human physiology. In laboratories around the world, teams are developing tumor-on-chip platforms to test more effective cancer drugs. These patient-representative chips will allow scientists to test new treatments in a way that doesn’t entail the cost, suffering, and ethical issues associated with animal or human testing. Imagine going to the doctor, taking a biopsy sample and, in less than a week, using the scientists’ microfluidic device, the doctor can figure out which drug is most effective to remove the mass. your u. While that is still in the future, what we do know is that microfluidic will be an integral part of the future.

The images on the patent show a phone with a triple camera module at the back, with the top camera able to rotate between front and back positions. When in selfie mode, the camera will turn inward and the display area around the camera will be disabled so that light can reach the sensor. A magnetic or mechanical mechanism will help rotate the camera. Realme launched a smartphone with 5,000 mAh battery, 33W charging, 90Hz screen, 6 GB RAM, priced at more than 4 million VND This design will bring a number of advantages over the product. The first thing to know is that it will enhance the quality of selfies. The selfie camera is rarely on par with the rear camera when it comes to imaging performance, not to mention that the under-display camera can be at an even greater disadvantage than the traditional selfie camera. By rotating the main camera from the rear module, Xiaomi can improve the performance of the selfie camera without paying extra for a better selfie camera. Taking advantage of the rear camera not only saves money on buying a high-end camera sensor, but it can also help utilize the space inside to increase battery capacity. Waterproof smartphone, S888 chip, 12 GB RAM, 240Hz screen, 2,000 nits brightness However, it also leads to a few downsides. A rotating camera will also need additional components for it to rotate, so it will lead to a waste of battery space. Rotating the lens inside the phone can have an additional side effect that the camera part may have to be even thicker to be able to rotate the lens – which was already thick. Detailed photos of Asus ZenFone 8 Flip: ‘super terrible’ configuration, 5,000 mAh battery, 90Hz screen, rotating camera, priced at more than 22 million Xiaomi’s invention idea. Finally, some glitches with the rotating camera can also occur. A flip camera with moving parts can always be damaged and that is the main concern when sliding camera systems in the past have always had certain problems. As everything happens inside the phone, it means that if there is debris happening inside the mechanism, it will force deep intervention into the hardware. See the waterproof smartphone, the world’s best screen, S888 chip, 12 GB RAM, ‘super big’ camera Like other patented technologies, it is unclear if Xiaomi will put this technology into actual products. In fact, Apple has also researched a mirror system that illuminates from the front and rear cameras into the same sensor through a patent in 2015, but this mechanism has not been implemented by Apple so far. on its products.

TSMC will increase semiconductor chips for cars by 60% this year To do this, TSMC has to reallocate semiconductor chip production capacity to other industries that are also experiencing “stressfully high demand due to the acceleration of digital transformation”. The Taiwanese semiconductor chip maker said: “With fixed short-term capacity, TSMC has been trying to increase production in 2021 for microcontrollers (MCUs), one of the key components in the products sold in China. leading cars by 60% compared to the level in 2020”. This represents a 30% increase from pre-pandemic levels in 2019. TSMC will also continue to work with the automotive supply chain to address the current shortage. Modernizing supply chain management and increasing demand forecasting will be the way to avoid such shortages in the future, TSMC added. The global semiconductor chip shortage, which began last year, has forced some auto production lines to close and is also affecting consumer electronics. TSMC has repeatedly said it is doing its best to address shortages and ramp up production. US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on May 20 that she had held meetings with 30 senior industry leaders about the semiconductor chip shortage and said the US could help. increase transparency in the market. This meeting was attended by major automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motor, Stellantis NV, semiconductor chip suppliers and other semiconductor companies. Phan Van Hoa (according to Reuters)

On each microprocessor there are billions of transistors and nm (nanometer) – the unit of measurement of transistor size. The smaller the size, the more transistors the processor can hold, making it faster and more efficient. TSMC’s most advanced chip today uses a 5 nm process with about 173 million transistors per square millimeter. Silicon chip wafers in TSMC’s production line. Photo: TSMC. This breakthrough was discovered by the MIT team, with components optimized by TSMC and improved by NTU. The core component uses semi-metallic bismuth as the electrode of a two-dimensional material to replace silicon, allowing for reduced resistance and increased amperage. Energy efficiency will thus rise to unprecedented heights in the semiconductor industry. Chipmakers have been trying to stuff more and more transistors into increasingly smaller chips, but are nearing the limits of silicon-based technology. That prompted scientists to look for two-dimensional materials to replace silicon to produce chips on the 1 nm process or smaller. More transistors on a chip gives manufacturers more options to deliver core innovations to improve performance for leading tasks like AI and cloud computing, and pave the way for better security. Encryption and encryption are performed by hardware. The need to increase performance and save energy in each processor has never cooled down, especially in the era of the cloud, AI, and IoT. Most of today’s chip-integrated devices use 10 nm or 7 nm process technology. The two largest chip manufacturers in the world, TSMC and Samsung, are launching chips with the 5 nm process, while Intel is still at the 7 nm stage. TSMC also only plans to start moving to the 4mm process later this year before mass production in 2022.

While today’s most advanced technologies can produce chips as small as 3 nm, the new technology will “break the limits of Moore’s law”, said Chih-I Wu, Professor from NTU and co-author of the paper. research said. Moore’s Law can be broken by TSMC’s sub-1 nm chip manufacturing technology. Photo: Reuters. One of the obstacles when it comes to improving the chip manufacturing process lies in the structure and choosing the right materials. According to the Tom’s Hardware , shrinking the chip size but denser transistors can increase the resistance at the electrodes, affecting the performance. Research shows that using bismuth as an electrode significantly reduces resistance, increasing transistor amperage. Currently, TSMC’s technology uses tungsten as the electrode, and Intel’s cobalt. TSMC’s sub-1nm chip manufacturing technology is still being tested before mass production in the next few years. Alternatively, further studies may consider using a different electrode material instead of bismuth. Discovered in 1965 by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, Moore’s law has become the rule for the advancement of semiconductor technology. According to this law, the number of transistors on a chip will double every 2 years, while the power consumption is halved. Over the years, chip companies around the world have continuously invested in semiconductors, a technology field that is considered a key future. In early May, the US company IBM introduced the world’s first 2 nm chip manufacturing technology. This process can quadruple smartphone battery life, cut data center carbon emissions, speed up laptops, and support high-performance artificial intelligence (AI). China is also looking to catch up with the US in semiconductors, amid technological advances that could cause Moore’s law to break. According to the SCMP , the Chinese government has proposed a five-year plan, referring to the potential semiconductor technology “post” Moore’s law. What if humans had chips in their brains Elon Musk creates an AI-powered device that interacts with the human brain. But is that really a good idea?

AMD recorded 8.9% growth in the first quarter of 2021, the highest in 15 years In 2020 and into the first quarter of 2021, AMD has focused on high-end desktop CPUs and EPYC chips for servers. The first quarter of the year recorded a record increase of 41% over the same period last year, which is the highest number for the CPU market in 25 years. AMD’s biggest growth most recently came in 2006, when the chipmaker saw its server CPU market share increase from about 5-7% to about 22% in just 18 months with the 64-bit Opteron processor. bits. Then, Intel overtook AMD to let Intel regain its leadership in technology and hold it for 10 years. AMD has launched EPYC Milan and it is used for data centers and supercomputers. Consistent growth in the first quarter will propel AMD further in its goal of becoming a leader in the server CPU segment. The choice of EPYC chip has proven that AMD’s direction is appropriate in recent times. One question is what the growth of ARM architecture means for ARM and Intel in the near future, while Nvidia, Microsoft and others are gradually moving to produce ARM-based CPUs. As for Intel, most recently launched Rocket Lake processors and they compete directly with AMD Ryzen 5000. However, Intel’s chips are more commonly found in retail stores at very affordable prices. competition while AMD’s chips are still rare on store shelves. AMD still has a strong portfolio of next-gen EPYC CPUs such as the 4th Gen EPYC Genoa chips that are expected to be announced next year and will feature the all-new Zen 4 core architecture and a host of other features to addresses Intel Sapphire Rapids & Granite Rapids Xeon CPUs.

“I’m really surprised! VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They still have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian countries. Asia, Africa, with cheaper usage,” said Neil Mawston, global head of telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics. Zing . VinSmart’s smartphone production may be hampered by a global chip shortage. When asked if a reason for the decision could be found, Mr. Mawston suggested that the global chip crisis could be a factor. Not just a single name, this crisis is making many smartphone manufacturers difficult. Many firms face difficulties in the global crisis hoảng “In terms of sales volume, VinSmart is still a small smartphone company in terms of scale. I think small firms are suffering the most because of the chip shortage crisis,” said Anshel Sag, an analyst at the company. Moor Insights & Strategy shared with Zing. The crisis of the semiconductor industry began with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. At that time, manufacturers thought that user demand would also decrease. However, the truth is the opposite. Due to long-term stay at home, people buy more technology. They buy more powerful computers, bigger screens to work from home. Children can buy new laptops to study at home. TVs, game consoles, and home appliances all increased sales. Chip companies like TSMC are working at more than 100% capacity to reduce the impact of the chip industry crisis. Photo: Reuters. The pandemic has turned into a month-long shopping festival. Therefore, the demand for chips also increased sharply. In the world, there are only a few outsourcing companies possessing modern technology to provide chips for smartphones. When every industry wants to increase production, the supply cannot meet. “Small firms are at a disadvantage because their scale is not large enough, leading to very thin profit margins. In the smartphone industry, scale is very important. It takes a lot of smartphones to be able to negotiate flexible prices. good conditions,” said Mr. Sag when asked about the difficulties of small smartphone manufacturers. In the first quarter financial report published at the end of April, Apple CEO Tim Cook also warned about chip shortages. The head of Apple said that it was not the demand that fell, but the lack of chip supply was the company’s biggest concern in the second quarter. Apple CEO also acknowledged that the company may face difficulties in the near future because of chip shortages. Photo: Cnet. “We think there will be a problem with supply. The chip shortage will mainly affect iPads and Macs. We also control our demand fairly well, but cannot comment on demand from vendors. different,” the Apple CEO told investors. Haven’t found a solution yet Currently, the smartphone market is only a game of a few big companies. One-time names like Sony accepted to downsize, selling only 400,000 units in the first quarter as they tried to keep the Xperia brand for a while. The chip crisis will make it even more difficult for small-scale smartphone companies in the near future. VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They also have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian and African countries, with fees. cheaper to use. – Neil Mawston, Global Head of Telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics “When producing on a small scale, these companies will be the first affected by the lack of supply, increasing prices. It should also be remembered that suppliers still prioritize serving large, most important customers. theirs,” commented Mr. Anshel Sag. According to Neil Mawston, in addition to the main processor, another component, the screen, also increased in price by about 15%. This is also a consequence of the chip crisis, because every screen on a smartphone must have a control chip. “The pandemic, social distancing, and competition for supplies with other products such as tablets, laptops and electric vehicles have put the smartphone component supply chain in the most stressful state in years.” Mr. Neil Mawston shared. In a recent interview, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said that the chip shortage could last until the end of 2021. Therefore, difficulties are still ahead for many companies producing technology products. Cars are the manufacturing sector hardest hit by chip shortages. Technology manufacturers may also be affected in the near future. Photo: Automotive News. When asked more about VinSmart, Mr. Neil Mawston said that he was surprised because Vsmart smartphones have a certain market share in the domestic market. This analyst believes that this is one of the big advantages to be able to expand into the regional market. “Every major smartphone maker uses the domestic market as a platform to go regional or global. Apple’s iPhone was successful in the US and then expanded to other countries. The story is similar to Huawei in China. Korea, and Samsung in Korea. VinSmart is also open to growth in Southeast Asia. Therefore, we find it difficult to understand when they decide to stop producing smartphones, especially when the opportunity for 5G is very close, “Mr. Mawston said.

Apple will use its own 5G chip for iPhones in 2023. Photo: Macrumors TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple’s first 5G iPhone 12s reached consumers last year. Apple’s entire iPhone model is dependent on Qualcomm chips, and now Apple is designing its own 5G chip for use in its latest iPhones in 2023. Apple currently uses Qualcomm modems, including the Snapdragon X55 modem in iPhone 12 models. In 2019, a legal agreement between Apple and Qualcomm revealed that Apple will likely use the Snapdragon X60 modem on iPhone models. 2021, followed by the Snapdragon X65 modem for the iPhone 2022. Apple’s roadmap is that by 2023, it is likely that the iPhone will use the Snapdragon X70 modem with Apple working to make its own 5G chip, it is unlikely that Snapdragon will be available on the iPhone model in the next years according to the. A deal between Apple and Intel worth $1 billion brought Apple the 5G modem business in 2019. This is an opportunity for Apple to ditch the Qualcomm chip to use its own 5G modem. In recent years, Apple has continued to expand around internal chips for its other product lines. Most recently, the Apple-designed M1 Chip is available on select Mac models and is currently on the iPad Pro. Apple will also gradually phase out Intel chips in its latest product lines. It is known that Apple’s Modem will probably be manufactured by longtime chip manufacturing partner TSMC, the world’s largest semiconductor company.

Yangtze Memory Technologies Co (YMTC) factory in Wuhan, China. (Source: Nikkei Asian) Rise of the chip manufacturing business Once a month, senior executives from Yangtze Memory Technologies Co (YMTC) fly to Beijing for a series of meetings with China’s top economic regulators. They focused on the company’s efforts in developing some of the world’s most advanced computer memory chips. Headquartered in downtown Wuhan, YMTC is considered a pioneer in efforts to create the domestic semiconductor industry. YMTC has mass-produced state-of-the-art 64-layer and 128-layer NAND flash memory chips, which are used in almost every electronic device from smartphones to servers to cars. These things help YMTC compete with big players in the industry such as Micron Technology of the US or Samsung Electronics of Korea. Equipment used to make high-end computer chips is mostly imported in the US. Some chip design and manufacturing processes such as etching, ion implantation, electrochemical deposition, design software… are all in the hands of American companies. To manufacture without using American technology is a big challenge for a new company that has been operating since 2016 like YMTC and also represents China’s great ambition in the field of semiconductor industry development. especially after the economic sanctions that the US imposed on China. However, the dizzying rise of YMTC has shown China’s strength in the chip industry. The business started in 2016 and within four years has mass-produced some of the most advanced 3D NAND flash memory chips in the world. The Beijing government also recognizes the importance of developing the semiconductor industry and makes efforts to support these companies. “Competition for chips is increasing as all major economies, not just China, have realized the importance of chips,” said Roger Sheng, a chip analyst at consulting firm Gartner. Semiconductors”. Currently, YMTC, is still in the “target” of the US government. But under the guidance of the Beijing government, they have conducted a review of the supply chain, looking for local component suppliers, or non-US suppliers, to gradually eliminate the country’s dependence on technology. Based in the city of Wuhan, YMTC’s efforts did not stop even when the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc last spring. According to sources familiar with the matter, after Wuhan reopened in April 2021, YMTC mobilized hundreds of engineers stationed inside the production campus, working three shifts a day with the aim of overhauling all production processes and replace as many foreign imported components as possible. Efforts to localize production The effort to localize chip production is an opportunity for a new generation of Chinese chipmakers like YMTC. Chinese President Xi Jinping said in remarks published in January 2021: “We must strengthen self-innovation and make breakthroughs in some core technologies as soon as possible.” According to the Nikkei Asian , plans to end dependence on the US have long been carried out by China and massively invested by the state, but progress is still very slow. For example, the plan to self-produce semiconductors has a target of 70% by 2025. But of the total revenue in 2020, China’s semiconductor manufacturing enterprises account for only 5.9% of sales. domestic products, while foreign companies with headquarters in China account for the rest of sales in the country. According to the Magazine China Stocks , while the threat of sanctions from the US has always lingered, the source of state aid, with subsidies and investments from local governments and the private sector has amounted to at least 170 billion USD since Since 2014 has helped chip manufacturing enterprises to localize production efforts. In addition, orders from domestic technology giants such as Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and Lenovo are also the reason their production is guaranteed. The US sanctions are a wake-up call for China’s semiconductor industry. (Source: Nikkei Asian) In fact, the trade war with the US and its sanctions against technology giant Huawei have given the Chinese government an opportunity to decouple from the world’s largest economy. – something they’ve always wanted. The US sanctions seem to have removed the main obstacle for domestic consumers, who always prefer to use chips from foreign suppliers. The manager of a chip maker in China told the site Nikkei Asian : “In the past, domestic chipmakers used only the manufacturing equipment that all the world’s leading chipmakers such as Samsung and Intel use in their production lines. Who wants to use and try new products without being sure of the quality of the production?” However, when sanctions from the US appeared, Chinese manufacturers considered alternatives, and domestically produced chip products were a reasonable choice. The manager emphasized: “It also means that domestic enterprises have really had the opportunity to test and upgrade their products – the goal that the whole country is aiming for.” Roger Sheng, a semiconductor analyst at Research Gartner, found that the US-China tensions confirmed the view that it was necessary to localize production. Now, the whole country agrees that building a semiconductor industry is possible and increasing self-reliance is a top priority. Unbreakable bond? Despite China’s considerable efforts, not many experts believe that the country’s chip sector will be completely separate from the US. The world’s two largest economies are still linked, dependent on each other and also two large semiconductor markets. According to a January report by the Brookings Institution, Chinese businesses account for at least 25% of the sales of most US chip businesses, and not everyone wants to break out of the market altogether. Chad Bown, an expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the US President Joe Biden’s approach to China was still unclear. On the one hand, the US expects China to buy more chips as promised in recent trade talks but also continues to restrict China’s use of US technologies. Since 2018 to date, a total of 162 Chinese entities have been sanctioned by the Trump Administration. In April 2021, the US Department of Commerce also added seven Chinese “supercomputer” entities to the economic blacklist, to restrict these businesses from using US technology. In reality, it is still difficult to completely decouple the supply of semiconductors, which involve thousands of suppliers from around the world and have been closely intertwined for decades. China may try to reduce its dependence on the United States, but without American sources of technology, it is unlikely to accelerate its technological progress. But Miin Wu, founder and president of Macronix International, a leading memory chip maker in Taiwan (China) that serves Apple, Sony and Nintendo, stressed: “In the short term, due to geopolitical uncertainties China’s technological development may be slowed down. However, in the long run, China will certainly hope to build a competitive semiconductor industry.” (according to Nikkei Asia)

“According to the set goal of completing 50 million CCCD jobs before July 1, up to now, the progress of identity issuance has been ensured and the police forces of the provinces continue to make efforts to fulfill the set target. “, Colonel Thang said. The Deputy Director of C06 Department said that the issuance of CCCD with chip is part of the project to build a unified CCCD database nationwide, to collect and manage CCCD registration data automatically on public infrastructure. Information technology helps to store, retrieve, share and search information quickly and conveniently. Soc Son district police force issued CCCD to attach chips to people When the above project is put into operation, it will improve the efficiency of state management of CCCD, create favorable conditions for citizens while carrying out administrative procedures and civil transactions. The success of the project contributes to building e-Government, creating a breakthrough in socio-economic development of the whole country. In particular, this project contributes to effectively serving the fight against crime. “Provincial police across the country are working very responsibly to issue CCCD with chip, it is expected that on July 1, the system will be put into use, officially connected and shared with ministries and sectors to serve the needs of the public. handle administrative procedures,” said Colonel Thang. Previously, on February 25, the Ministry of Public Security officially pressed the button to open the national database system on population and production system, issue and manage citizen identification. Speaking at the ceremony, General To Lam, Minister of Public Security, emphasized that the national database system on population and the production system, granting and managing citizen identification is implemented in accordance with the Law on Basic Law. citizen fees, the overall scheme to simplify administrative procedures, citizenship papers and databases related to population management in the period 2013 – 2020. Regarding the implementation of the above two projects, the Ministry of Public Security said that it has worked closely with the Government Office, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Government Cipher Committee, the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (the technology leader for the national database system on population) and other related units. The detailed design of the two systems was approved with the general principle of ensuring modernity, synchronization, high security and avoiding waste; design the citizen identification system according to the inheritance model to ensure maximum use of the national population database system, review and utilize the common infrastructure, network equipment, security, transmission infrastructure of the Ministry of Public Security… Regarding the collection, updating and editing of citizen information, after a period of implementation, up to now, the collection of population information has been basically completed nationwide, implementing many solutions to ensure information security. population accurately, regularly updated according to the principle of “right, enough, clean, live”. When the two systems come into operation, they will be the focal point for providing information about citizens, helping people, businesses and organizations to simplify and reduce administrative procedures. It is estimated that the annual cost savings of people and businesses when integrating and performing eight administrative procedures on the national public service portal is up to nearly 5,000 billion VND/year.

The global chip shortage has hit automakers hard, especially Ford, as it said it would have to cut production in half in the second quarter. In the latest move, auto industry groups have pressed the Biden administration to secure chip supplies for manufacturing plants. The new alliance will include a number of large chip companies such as AT&T, Cisco Systems, General Electric, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Verizon Communications. The group announced that it will resist government actions to support the industry, which is struggling in production because of the chip shortage problem. Tech companies like Apple or Microsoft are also affected by the situation, but much less severely than automakers. Last month, the iPhone maker said it could lose $3 to $4 billion in sales in the current quarter because of chip shortages. According to Reuters

This information was shared on the Korean forum Clíen. The source said that Apple is developing a handheld gaming device like Nintendo Switch with high-performance GPU and support for Ray-Tracing. (Artwork: Nintendo) [Ray-Tracing là công nghệ dựng (render) hình ảnh đặc biệt thông qua việc hiệu chỉnh ánh sáng. Các vật thể được tạo hình giờ đây sẽ được đổ bóng ánh sáng theo các nguyên tắc vật lý như trong thực tế.] According to this source, Apple’s gaming device will not have the usual A-series or M-series chip, but it will be equipped with a completely new chip from Apple. This chipset will be optimized for gaming, and will feature a dedicated high-performance GPU and come with Ray-Tracing support. (Artwork: Razer) The source added that Apple is currently in talks with a number of famous video game companies, including Ubisoft – the maker of popular games like “Assassin’s Creed”, “Far Cry” and “Watch Dogs”. – about developing games for new devices. Late last year, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that Apple is developing a new Apple TV model that focuses on gaming capabilities. Leaker “Fudge” also said similar information that Apple is developing an Apple TV optimized for gaming with the A14X chip. The Bandai Pippin game console was released by Apple in 1996. (Image: Wikimedia) Apple launched its own gaming device in 1996 with the name Apple Bandai Pippin, but the product was unsuccessful and was discontinued after Steve Jobs returned to the company. Rumors of the company re-entering the console market have circulated continuously since then but never materialized. (Photo: The Verge) Trusted leaker – “L0vetodream” – said last year that Apple is developing a gaming device of its own, and after a series of rumors about an Apple TV product focused on gaming, that Apple could develop a gaming device would not be out of the question.

The security hole exists for more than 3 years, but Intel has not been able to fix it. Photo: CIO Indeed, 3 years have passed, and there is still no end to the vulnerability. Meanwhile, experts from the University of Virginia and the University of California, San Diego, have discovered a new attack method that bypasses all current Specter protections built into the chip. This attack method has the potential to put almost any system – desktops, laptops, cloud servers and smartphones – once again at risk. Revealing Specter ushered in a wave of more powerful attacks, allowing malicious code to directly read passwords, encryption keys, and other valuable information from the computer’s kernel memory. Although chip manufacturers such as Intel, ARM and AMD already know this and combine defenses to reduce the threat from vulnerabilities, the methods have not yielded the desired effect. A Specter attack is capable of tricking the processor into executing instructions along a wrong path, the researchers say. Even though the processor recovers and completes its task correctly, hackers can still access confidential data while the processor goes in the wrong direction. The new attack method exploits what is called a micro-operator buffer (called micro-ops), an on-chip component that breaks machine instructions into simpler instructions and speeds up computation, like a secondary channel to reveal confidential information. Micro-op cache is built into Intel processors, manufactured since 2011. According to researchers at the University of Virginia, Intel’s defense proposal against Specter (called LFENCE) is to place sensitive code in a waiting area until security checks are done and only then the code Only sensitive is allowed to execute. However, research has shown how attackers can steal information through micro-op caching and use it as a secret channel. Although exploiting the Specter vulnerability is very difficult, the researchers say that with computers with a lot of sensitive data, hackers do not mind the difficulty. To protect the system from the new attack, the researchers propose to clear the micro-ops cache. This is a technical solution that comes at the expense of performance benefits. According to the researchers, micro-op caching has some dangerous effects. First, it ignores all caching reduction techniques such as side channels. Second, attacks in this zone go undetected like an existing attack or malware. Third, because the micro-op cache is at the front of the path, prior to execution, Intel’s Specter protections or recommendations to limit cache updates are still compromised. public.

Today, chips are in everything from PlayStation 5s and toothbrushes to washing machines and alarm clocks, and chip shortages have led some to call the current crisis “chipageddon” — chip shortages computers globally. Glenn O’Donnell, vice president of research at consulting firm Forrester, believes chip shortages could last until 2023. “As demand will remain high and supply will remain constrained, we anticipate this shortfall to last through 2022 and into 2023,” he wrote on a blog. O’Donnell expects PC demand to “slightly drop” next year, but “not much.” “Combine that with the desire to digitize everything with the continued growth in cloud computing and crypto mining, and we see nothing but a short burst of chip demand,” O. ‘ said Donnell. Meanwhile, Patrick Armstrong, CEO of Plurimi Investment Managers, said last week that the chip shortage will last 18 months. “It’s not just cars. That’s the phone. It is the internet of things (IoT). There are more chip-based gadgets now than ever before. All of them are internet enabled.” The car industry has been affected by the global chip shortage more than any other sector. The world’s largest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) said earlier this month that it thinks its production will be able to catch up with auto demand by June. , Armstrong believed it was an ambitious plan. “Ford, BMW, Volkswagen all emphasized that there were capacity bottlenecks and they couldn’t get the chips needed to make the new cars,” O’Donell said. In a separate development, global research and consulting firm Gartner said last week that chip shortages will persist through 2021 and that the shortage affects all chip types and chip prices. growing. Gartner analyst Alan Priestley said the situation could improve for some sectors over the next six months, but there could be a “side effect” in 2022. In March, Intel announced plans to spend $20 billion on two new chip factories in Arizona. Intel also said it could build a factory in Europe if funding is arranged. “Those plans will take two or three years before we start to see that. But that’s really looking forward to meeting future demand,” said analyst Priestley. Wenzhe Zhao, director of global economics and strategy at Credit Suisse said in a note last week that recent chip shortages have encouraged inventory hoarding along the chip production chain, widening the gap. between expanding demand and stagnant supply. Mr. Zhao said that new semiconductor production capacity will not take place until 2022 or later, and the problem of solving the current shortage besides adjusting the order book, production schedule and price is very difficult.

ZenFone 8 and 8 Flip both use Snapdragon 888 chip for processing speed up to 2.84GHz, among the top most powerful processors today. ZenFone 8 will be equipped with a 5.9-inch OLED screen, Full HD resolution and 120Hz screen refresh rate for a smoother experience. This phone model has IP68 water resistance standard, sold with up to 16gb Ram and 256gb storage configuration. In addition, both Zenfone 8 and Flip 8 support 5G technology. Image of Zenfone 8.

It offers a large 5,000mAh battery and has support for 30W fast charging. The device will be sold with a maximum configuration of up to 8gb of Ram and 256gb of storage. However, the Zenfone Flip 8 version will not be equipped with IP68 water resistance standard. Images of Zenfone 8 FLip. Source: Asus. In terms of camera specifications, ZenFone 8 is equipped with similar technology to the ZenFone 7 series with a standard 64-megapixel camera with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Unlike the Flip 8 series, Zenfone 8 does not have a front-facing camera, but is replaced by a hole in the middle of the screen that acts as a 12-megapixel selfie camera, giving sharper image quality than the model. Predecessor. Flip 8 is slightly better than Zenfone 8 in terms of camera when it is equipped with a flip camera cluster with 64-megapixel specifications for the main camera, 12-megapixel wide-angle camera and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x zoom capability. Asus says this camera cluster has been improved by the company to ensure better durability than previous versions before it can flip back and forth up to 300,000 times. These two new phone models of the world’s leading laptop manufacturer promise to bring a breath of fresh air to the already very hot mobile phone market today. According to The Verge

Industry “commanders” in the US have voiced the warning of serious consequences caused by the global shortage of chips. Photo: AFP Semiconductor chip supplies have been in short supply for months and the situation shows no sign of abating, prompting insiders to visualize it into the chipageddon crisis. It is a combination of ‘microchip’ (semiconductor chip) and ‘armageddon’ (which excessively means war of destruction). Mr. Glenn O’Donnell, deputy research director at consulting firm Forrester believes that the thirst for semiconductor chips could last until 2023. “As demand will continue to increase while supply will remain limited, We expect this shortfall to continue into 2022 and into 2023, “commented Glenn O’Donnell on his blog. According to the expert’s argument, demand for computers – products using the most advanced chips – will slightly decrease next year but not by much, but data centers, where the machines are located. will be the chip-eaters next year. Mr. Glenn O’Donnell explained: “The deviceization of things is an irresistible trend, coupled with the continued growth of cloud computing and cryptocurrency mining, we see nothing but a boom. short-term explosion on chip demand “. Meanwhile, Mr. Patrick Armstrong, Information Technology Director of Plurimi Investment Managers Fund commented on CNBC that the global shortage of chips will last 18 months. “Not just the auto industry. It’s the phone. It’s also the IoE [một khái niệm kết nối rộng hơn Internet vạn vật (IoT), xoay quanh 4 yếu tố chính: Con người (People), sự vật (Things), dữ liệu (Data) và quá trình (Process)]. There are a lot more products that use chips now than before. “” All of them are connected to the internet, “said Patrick Armstrong. The auto industry has been most adversely affected by the global thirst for chips. Earlier this month, the world’s largest chip maker TSMC (Taiwan) said it could meet the chip demand of the auto industry next June. However, Mr. Armstrong said that this statement by TSMC is too ambitious. “If you listen to Ford, BMW, and Volkswagen, they all claim that there are bottlenecks in capacity and they can’t get the chips needed to build new cars,” Armstrong argued. Meanwhile, Gartner Consulting and Information Technology Research is more optimistic that chip shortages will last throughout 2021, affecting all chip lines and pushing chip prices higher. Gartner analyst Alan Priestley said that chip shortages could improve in some sectors / areas over the next six months, but could continue into 2022. “It (chip shortage – Editor)) will not last any longer, “said Alan Priestley. “The semiconductor industry is increasing capacity, but it still takes time,” he said. In fact, in March Intel announced plans to spend $ 20 billion on two new chip factories in the state of Arizona. The group also said it could build a factory in Europe if it could raise funds for public investment. “Those things will take two or three years before we start realizing their effect,” said Alan Priestley, who said that the investment plans could actually meet demand for semiconductors in future. Mr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of chip maker Infineon (Germany) last week said that the semiconductor industry is in the region without privileges; at the same time warned to rebalance the demand and supply of semiconductors “obviously will take time”. “I think two years is too long, but we are sure that the current situation will extend into 2022,” said Ploss. “I think the additional capacity will be realized… Hopefully the situation will be more balanced in the next calendar year,” added the German CEO. Wenzhe Zhao, director of the global strategy and economics division at Credit Suisse, said that the shortage in chip supply led to speculation on chip-making hoarding and widening the gap. amid increasing chip demand and supply remains stagnant. According to Wenzhe Zhao, the new semiconductor manufacturing capacity will not be effective until 2022 or later. Wenzhe Zhao noted that there is little action he can do to address the shortage of semiconductors, aside from adjusting orders, production schedules and prices.

Intel is pushing partners to sell Intel Evo laptops using Tiger Lake chips. In 2020, Intel launched the 11th generation Intel Core mobile processors collectively known as Tiger Lake. This new chip is introduced with outstanding performance, real-world battery life of 9 hours or more using FHD screen, fast charging and stable response. The Intel Evo concept is a standard set for all high-end laptops equipped with this new line of Intel chips. Continuing from 2020, this year Intel has a plan to develop and boost sales for the Intel Evo brand. Intel’s partners will also be part of the plan, and Intel wants to give them promotional tools to sell more devices. Reply CRN Steve Long, Intel’s global vice president of computer sales, said that this year will be the year of investing in customers’ businesses. In addition to investments in Intel partners and products or programs, but also in market access. The tools Intel says will be the most advanced tools that give partners access to schools or educational institutions. These are the places that will need a lot of laptop devices to organize teaching for students. According to statistics, with 1.6 billion students in the world, only 5 out of 100 students have laptops to use. Alder Lake will be Intel’s next generation of chips to appear next year. The business segment also has room for growth in laptop sales as the need to work remotely from home is increasing and becoming a trend for many companies. As for the next generation of Intel chips, at the end of Q2, the Intel Lake H45 laptop will be released. For desktops, Intel will also introduce the first 10 nanometer technology Alder Lake processors. Demand for a laptop or Chromebook is growing, especially in the second half of 2021 and into 2022, as well as in the following years. Intel is expanding its policy to reach customers in different segments and deliver high quality products.
