First, the semiconductor
1, pass high-pass split points considered. The Wall Street Journal quoted people familiar with the matter on the 21st, saying that Qualcomm, the world's largest mobile phone chip maker, may consider splitting, and will announce the above plans in the latest earnings report released on Wednesday, as well as other programs to increase shareholders' cash returns. According to the report, although the specific plan is uncertain, if the spin-off, Qualcomm's chip manufacturing business and licensing business are destined to be separated. At present, nearly two-thirds of Qualcomm's annual revenue, about $26 billion comes from the chip business, and two-thirds of the annual profit is $8 billion, from mobile phone sales with its chip technology. This means that Qualcomm's chip manufacturing business accounts for a relatively high revenue, but the profit is not as good as the authorized business.
Analysts look at Qualcomm splits:
As for the spin-off of the chip and patent licensing business, Qualcomm has been weighing this strategy as early as Qualcomm's heyday. It has no direct relationship with the current market performance of Qualcomm, and more is a kind of shareholder's maximization of personal rights. Capital behavior. According to Arete Research Services analysts, if the spin-off, Qualcomm will usher in the tide of orders, the market value of the chip manufacturing part is expected to reach 74 billion US dollars, the market value of the patent licensing part will increase to 87 billion US dollars. Therefore, the independent chip business may attract potential acquirers such as Intel.

The next generation of Google Glass is called Google Glass Enterprise Edition. It is not a continuation of the Google Glass Explorer version, but an enhanced version of the workplace development. Google is going deep into the enterprise and exploring the actual use of Google Glass. It is reported that Google Glass Enterprise Edition is very different from Google Glass Explorer. From the outside, it folds like ordinary glasses, because it is the first Google glasses built for the workplace, which is even stronger. According to the source, the glasses are more waterproof, and the possibility of water or other materials infiltrating is greatly reduced due to fewer buttons and interfaces. According to people familiar with the matter, the Google Glass Enterprise Edition has also undergone many changes, including a larger prism display, which provides a better visual experience. The Intel Atom processor makes it even more powerful, with extended battery life and better heat dissipation.

The product to be shown next week comes from Nokia Technologies, the elite team that the Finnish company left behind after selling its mobile phone business to Microsoft. According to a licensing agreement reported in June, they will return to the mobile phone business next year. Regarding next week's event, Nokia rarely mentioned its virtual reality plan. At a general meeting of shareholders, as one of the company's development directions, Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri discussed "immersive images."

The competition was co-sponsored by the British Ministry of Culture, Media and Sports and Innovate UK. Innovative UK is a government department in the UK that is responsible for funding and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises with high growth potential. The £1,000 competition is part of the UK government's $40 million IoT investment in the FY15 budget.
2. Intel's future accelerators have promoted the development of the Internet of Things. According to ZDNet, Intel has recently joined the trend of accelerators. The Intel Innovation Partner Program (IPP) will build a model that Intel believes can set the tone for the company. A company wants to successfully develop a game that can bridge the user interface, data analysis and engineering with the help of a start-up company with development services. In an increasingly interconnected world, technology companies have realized that they can't do everything themselves, they need to work with people so they can add value. What Intel chose was not necessarily an early startup. Instead, they wanted to choose a successful project or business technology. Intel's only requirement for the technology of the campaign is to use Intel hardware. Considering the company's wide range of processors and chips, this is not a huge challenge.
Fifth, automotive electronics
1. Lexus develops a new concept car that connects the driver's heart to make the body shine.
