Intel plans to introduce a new sixth-generation Core processor based on the Skylake platform by the end of this year to replace the existing Broadwell fifth-generation chips used in notebooks, desktops and replicas. But what new products will be introduced for low-power tablets and entry-level notebooks and desktops? For more information on technology, please pay attention to the daily electronic core morning newspaper.
First, the processor
1. Intel will replace Braswell with the Apollo Lake chip next year. Intel plans to introduce a new sixth-generation Core processor based on the Skylake platform by the end of this year to replace the existing Broadwell fifth-generation chips used in notebooks, desktops and replicas. But what new products will be introduced for low-power tablets and entry-level notebooks and desktops? We already know that Intel's next-generation Atom chip is code-named "Willow Trail", which is used to replace the Cherry Trail chip that is just beginning to be fully rolled out. According to the latest news from Benchlife.info, Intel also plans to introduce another "Apollo Lake" family this year to replace the existing Braswell processor.
Second, the semiconductor
1. Foxconn is considering producing iPhones and iPads in India. Morning news on June 13 According to the Wall Street Journal, Subhash Desai, Minister of Industry of Maharashtra in western India, said on Friday that representatives of Foxconn revealed that the company is studying the location of a production facility in the state. Desai said Foxconn executives said they even considered Apple's iPhone and iPad in India. Desai said that these are still preliminary negotiations, Foxconn needs to know more to make a decision. He also said that Foxconn said it would send a delegation of company executives and experts to conduct field trips.
2. Nvidia teamed up with TSMC to push the GPU into the 16-nanometer era. The 16-nm process technology graphics processor (GPU) is finally in the works, the 28-nm process era is about to draw a second! According to WCCFtech and VR-Zone, the latest report from Beyond3D forum experts revealed that the first chip Pascal architecture flagship chip "GP100 GPU" from Nvidia Corp. using TSMC's 16nm FinFET+ process technology has finally arrived. The stage of "tape out" is expected to be officially unveiled in the second quarter of the year (2016).
Third, communication news
1. Nokia and German universities collaborate on 5G technology. On June 13, recently, wireless communication equipment vendors are defining future 5G mobile communication standards, applying for patents related to 5G, and exploring 5G application scenarios. Nokia announced this week that it will work with the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany to jointly promote the research of 5G technology. Nokia said that Kaiserslautern University will be engaged in the research of 5G network architecture. The company believes that in the future 5G network, the ideal state is that the network can be managed in multiple layers. 5G technology may integrate WiFi, define new air interfaces, bring more bandwidth to meet video needs, achieve zero latency on the control plane, and support hundreds of millions of "Internet of Things" sensors. The last point means that there will probably be a large amount of small data devices in the 5G network.
Fourth, battery technology
1. The Tesla PowerWall power storage system will increase the power/price. Tesla launched PowerWall's home battery storage system last month, and according to Elletek's report, CEO Elon Musk said at the recent annual general meeting that it will increase PowerWall's output power while keeping prices unchanged. change. The current PowerWall home energy storage system operates at 7 kW and is 5 kW in stable use. Musk said that the price of PowerWall will remain at $3,000 for 5KWh and $3,500 for 10KWh. PowerWall stores electricity by means of solar energy and then supplies it according to the user's actual usage habits. It can be said that PowerWall is an ideal home backup power system, and it can also save considerable cost. PowerWall can store power and then use the user's voltage during the peak period of power consumption. In the future, PowerWall will also launch commercial and utility versions.
2. The US research and development of paper collapsible flexible battery bacteria is the source of electricity. Engineers at Binghamton University in the United States have developed a flexible, foldable battery—the foldable part is made from paper and is also used as a biosensor that uses bacteria as a source of electricity. Paper sensors have always needed to work with Other devices, but the goal of this battery is to create a new technology that enables the sensor to generate electricity. At present, this battery is only a cardboard match after folding, and the cost is only 5 cents. Assistant Professor Seokheun Choi said: “Paper is not only cheap but also biodegradable. Since paper can absorb the solution by capillary force, there is no need to equip an extra pump or syringe.†How does the bacteria work? The answer lies in organic matter. For example, microorganisms in dirty water produce enough energy (in microwatts) through metabolism. At present, dirty water and sweat can be used as microbial power generation materials.

Five, intelligent hardware
1, Fuji display photoresist technology research and development results can be used as 8K panels. Although the quality of OLED TVs is amazing, the high price is not affordable for the average consumer. Recently, however, a joint venture established by Fuji and nanoelectronics research institute imec has found a low-cost method for producing high-resolution, large-size OLED panels. In 2013, the two companies developed photoresist technology for organic semiconductors, and now they use this technology to make full-color OLED panels. Compared to Samsung's FMM and LG's WOLED, photoresist technology is very different. In addition to reducing production costs, this technology can significantly increase the pixel density and resolution of OLED panels.
2, Microsoft smart watch project exposure, has been cancelled. The Microsoft Band is arguably the closest Microsoft product to a smartwatch, but it may not be the only wristband wearable device from Microsoft. There have been reports recently that Nokia’s equipment division originally had a smartwatch development project, but Microsoft has cancelled it after the acquisition. Recently, well-known newsmaker Evan Blass (also known as the famous evleaks) found several concept diagrams of smart watches in the Tumblr blog of Microsoft designer Pei-Chi Hsieh, and this device is from Microsoft's smart watch project, the name Called "Microsoft Moonraker."
