Recently, the magnesium lamp of the scientific and technological circles is focused on a small Cambridge company that is separated from the Atlantic by the Atlantic. It is called "Anmou" (ARM). From Taiwan's semiconductor Tianwang TSMC, the global EMS manufacturing leader Hon Hai, to the global industrial computer leader Advantech, they are looking for it.
A company from Cambridge is very popular recently.
çŸ½æ™ºè´¢å…¬å¸ å®‰è°‹ (ARM) announced on October 27 that it cooperated with Advantech, the global industrial computer leader, to deploy a global IoT platform.
"Now it is just the beginning of the IoT Bureau, success or failure, depending on how much value we can provide to users and customers," said He Chunsheng, general manager of Advantech.
In July of this year, Japan's Softbank decided to acquire the leading ARM of the company for $32 billion, with a premium of 43%. For a time, the invisible champion who came from Cambridge, England, suddenly stood under the spotlight. Many people suddenly became curious. Who is the right?
The end-users don't know about the plot, because he is doing the licensing of the chip architecture. Last year, more than 15 billion networked devices were used worldwide. More than 90% of the world's smart phones are ARM-inside.
Therefore, on October 22nd, after the TSMC Sports Conference, one of the hot issues of the reporter’s questioning of Zhang Zhongmou, the reporter, was how to treat this century’s mergers and acquisitions.
Zhang Zhongmou calmly replied that Sun Zheng, the chairman of Softbank, had to fly to Taiwan to personally promise to him that the relationship between ARM and TSMC would not change after the merger, and later the typhoon was postponed.
In the past, TSMC and the company had close cooperation. The R&D center in Taiwan was in Hsinchu, and it was very close to TSMC. And after Softbank announced the M&A news, Hon Hai, which has close cooperation with Softbank, has always wanted to cross the semiconductor industry. Recently, it has also been frequently reported that it is necessary to join hands with Shenzhen Cap Semiconductor R&D Center, focusing on the Internet of Things era. , the emerging semiconductor demand.
Together with Advantech, Anmou has already cooperated with Taiwan's foundry, semiconductor and industrial computer giants.
Interestingly, in the past, the company has a relatively close cooperation with semiconductor-related industries, and the corporate structure of light assets, financial quality has been very good, will accept softbank mergers and acquisitions, the scientific community is shocked, do not understand, why softbank wants to buy security seek?
At the Security Global Developers Conference held on the 26th in San Francisco, USA, Sun Zheng, the chairman of Softbank, personally spoke out and made everyone curious.
"The murder of the chip will push artificial intelligence to singularity," Sun Zheng pointed out in his speech.
American science fiction writer Forouvenchi proposed "technical singularity." It means that at some time in the future, when the machine reaches strong artificial intelligence, the IQ will surpass human beings and will have a huge impact on human society.
In the future, supercomputers can control health care to transportation, which makes people fear and exciting. Sun Zhengyi believes that the use of artificial intelligence can bring convenience to human society.
In recent years, Softbank has been working in the field of artificial intelligence. For example, the service robot Pepper has put a program of wisdom in the work, so that the robot can respond to emotional signals. Pepper has a camera module on the forehead and mouth, and a sensor on the left eye to detect the distance. Through the camera to collect human expression messages, the microphone records the human voice, and after the software analysis, judges the human emotions.
Sun Zheng believes that by 2018, the number of IoT devices will exceed that of mobile devices. "By 2021, there will be 1.8 billion personal computers, 8.6 billion mobile devices, and 157 IoT devices," Sun Zhengyi estimated. This also reflects Softbank's efforts to develop the Internet of Things business through upstream chip development and terminal application services.
But from the perspective of security, why should Softbank buy? The cooperation between the past and the semiconductor factory, and the cooperation with downstream companies such as Softbank and Advantech, what are the benefits?
Yang Ruilin, deputy head of the Electronics Division of the Industrial and Technological Research Center of the Industrial and Technological Research Institute, analyzed the merger and acquisition case of Softbank. The future is the era of “smart machinesâ€. Smart machines have three cores: emerging computing, artificial intelligence, and 5G. The processor core is closely related to artificial intelligence and is also a key technology for smart machines.
He observed that the company has a processor computing and intellectual property, and is also actively developing a neural network computing architecture. This architecture is related to the architecture of the smart machine, which can complement the layout of the smart machine in the soft silver layout.
"Anmou may also be laying out artificial intelligence software technology, jumping off the level of intellectual property, layout and software related to intelligent machine computing," Yang Ruilin analyzed.
