Chip for smart phone development a tremendous impact. AFP when most people buy smart phones, consideration may be lightweight design, camera functions, etc., but the idea behind these truly promote technological evolution, the phone has become an indispensable tool of modern life, in fact, thanks Qualcomm (Qualcomm) and other chip factory innovation. The next few years, chip development will continue to lead the peak, if the development of the battery and the screen can keep up the pace of scientific and technological fields, including the development of the smart watches and other mobile devices can also be expected.
According to TechRadar website reported that from 2007 to 2008 iOS and Android platform launched two is the key in smart phones. Then the poor Android system optimization, bug after another, to rely on chip frequency (clock speed) to make up for the performance.
Until 2010, the HTC HTC Desire powered by Qualcomm 1G chip, compared to the same period the iPhone 3GS chip is only 600Mhz. But with advances in technology, transistors significantly reduced volume, each MHz efficiency, the impact on the mobile phone frequency performance has also been reduced a lot.
2010's first 4G phone HTC Evo 4G come out, but this progress is also due to innovative communication technologies chip technology. Chip mobile phone use for system-on-chip (SoC), control the various functions of CPU power, graphics and network connections and so on. Even though the HTC Evo 4G uses technology WiMAX, 4G network is not used today, and is limited to the United States, but really is a pioneer in technology.
Today, the most striking development of mobile processors is progress from dual-core to four-core, or even 10 cores. But as technology advances, the effectiveness of the performance of mobile phones and software is now optimized correlation has been much greater than the simple pursuit of performance, which from the past few years, MediaTek gradually shifting the focus to the pursuit of efficiency is evident.
In addition, the higher the efficiency of the chip also represents phone endurance can be promoted. Recent developments in the mobile phone screen more and more progress, pixel size and even rival TV, of course, greatly increased power consumption, highlighting increasingly important to improve the efficiency of the chip.
Future smart phone will be officially into 64 yuan, almost all Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon chip 2015 are all 64 yuan, and the price is low, even asking for only $ 83 Huawei Ascend Y550 is also equipped with 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chip.
64 yuan mobile phone chips appear, meaning the use of technology to break through the original 32 yuan limit chips can upgrade RAM capacity, CPU can handle more information. Phone or permit substitution future PC directly edit video, it is also expected to become a major gaming platform.
Currently Intel (Intel) are working to develop 10-nanometer chips, and announced that it would reduce the number of years to 7 nm. Not only smart phone, chip miniaturization also make wearable devices benefit, currently restricted anti probably screen and battery technology.
