Has 6G Been Launched?

During the development process from 1G to 5G, 1G defined voice; 2G realized mobile communication voice services as well as some digital messaging services; 3G defined mobile Internet; 4G developed the best solution for mobile Internet; and the arrival of 5G began to promote the development of smart home, telemedicine and other applications. With the commercialization of 5G on a large scale entering the fast track, major countries and regions around the world have started 6G research. Increase 6G technology research and development support, and actively participate in promoting 6G international standardization work." The continuous promotion of 6G will bring more markets and opportunities to the chip industry.   1.  6G will open up the smart connection of all things   Compared with 5G, 6G is not only to improve the communication transmission speed so simple, if 5G is to open up the plane world of "everything connected", then 6G is about to create a three-dimensional world

Toxic gas leak in Ohio, USA! Intel, Foxconn and other semiconductor factories may be affected

 According to news reports, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in eastern Ohio on the night of Feb. 3, sparking a fire. The local emergency department carried out a "controlled release" of toxic gas on board the train on the 6th, resulting in the emergency evacuation of residents within a few kilometers due to the threat of deadly gas. Due to the serious toxic gas pollution in the area, may have a significant impact on the local Intel, Honghai Foxconn, LG Energy, and other factories. U.S. train derailment caused the spread of toxic gases Australia News 13 reported that this incident has caused the problem of toxic gas diffusion has led to coughing, diarrhea, tears, no appetite, and other symptoms of poisoning in nearby animals. The freight train in question, with about 50 cars, derailed in the eastern Ohio town of East Palestine, adjacent to Pennsylvania, on the night of the 3rd, sparking a fire. According to the operator Norfolk Southern Corporation, there are 10 cars

What kind of chip does ChatGPT USE?

Recently, the ChatGPT-led generative model has become a new hot spot in AI, with Microsoft and Google in Silicon Valley investing heavily in such technologies (Microsoft has a $10 billion stake in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and Google has recently released its own BARD model), while Internet technology companies in China, represented by Baidu and others, have also indicated that they are developing such technologies and will go live in the near future. In China, Baidu and other Internet technology companies have also indicated that they are developing such technologies and will go live in the near future.   The generative models represented by ChatGPT have a common feature, that is, they use massive data for pre-training, and are often paired with a more powerful language model. The main function of the language model is to learn from the massive existing corpus, and after learning, it can understand the user's linguistic instructions, or furthermore, generate relevant tex

Samsung's chips profit down 97%

South Korea's largest company has been grappling with a historic plunge in memory prices as consumers cut back on gadget purchases amid soaring interest rates and inflation. Inventories have piled up, forcing double-digit price declines that have exacerbated losses.   The business environment deteriorated significantly in the fourth quarter as demand weakened due to the global economic slowdown," the company said in a press release Tuesday, adding that in the semiconductor business, earnings are expected to fall by a quarter in the first quarter as plant utilization declined.   The world's largest memory chip maker, which supplies displays and semiconductors for Apple's iPhone, said it sees "a potential recovery in mobile demand in the second half of the year" as customers seek gadgets with more storage space. The Galaxy device maker said smartphone market demand could contract in 2023, dragged down by mass-market handsets.   Profit at Samsung's key chip

Difference Between chip, module and development board

  1. From the shape.   1.1 Chip   Yes, this small black silicon chip is the "chip" itself (usually smaller than a thumb, integrated inside the hardware integrated circuits to achieve specific functions). 1.2 Module   The module developed from the above chip looks like this.       From the appearance, the module is much brighter than the chip (at least, you can see the copper foil, the pins), and that black ESP32 chip is inside him.   1.3 Development board   The development board developed by the above module looks like this.   Yes, the part marked ESP-WROOM-32 on the development board is the "module" above. The development board is much more luxurious than the "module" (finally, there are buttons, USB ports, and LEDs), do you want to write a program to light up the LEDs immediately?   2.  Development Mode   Want to light up LED lights? Wait! Let's talk about how to burn the program into the chip, module, and development board.   First of all, it is dif

What is IC design flow?

  The main process of front-end design   1.  D etermine the specifications   Chip specifications, also like a list of features, is the customer to the chip design company (called Fabless, waferless design company) proposed design requirements, including the chip needs to achieve specific functional and performance requirements.   2. Define the architecture   Fabless comes up with a specific implementation architecture and the functions of each module based on the specifications proposed by the customer.   3.  HDL coding   Use hardware description language (VHDL, Verilog HDL, industry companies generally use the latter) to describe the module function in code to achieve, that is, the actual hardware circuit function is described by HDL language to form RTL (register transfer level) code.   4.  Simulation verification   Simulation verification is to check the correctness of the coding design, and the criteria for the verification is the specification developed in the first step.
