Electronic core news Morning News: Apple headset new patent, Model X will be released
Today's core language
According to the IHS report, the global power semiconductor market grew by 6.3% in 2014 to US$16.2 billion. It is estimated that by 2019, the demand for power semiconductors is still optimistic; Infineon has acquired International Rectifier (IR) at the beginning of this year, with market share. Up to 19.2%, it has been the leader in the global power semiconductor market for 12 consecutive years. For more information on technology, please pay attention to the daily electronic core morning newspaper.
First, the semiconductor
1. IHS: The market demand for power semiconductors is promising. The global power semiconductor market generated a value of 16.2 billion U.S. dollars last year. Infineon, the international semiconductor manufacturer, has a leading position in the power semiconductor market with a market share of 19.2%. The market expects that the demand for power semiconductors will be promising in 2019, especially in automobiles. The most demanding with industrial applications.

2. Chief Kernel Architect Jim Keller left second, and AMD claimed that Zen was not affected. AMD recently announced that the company's chief core architect Jim Keller has resigned, and suddenly it took effect on September 18. His work was temporarily taken over by AMD's CTO Mark Papermarster. It’s said that Jim Keller has left AMD for the second time, but now he is responsible for the critical Zen architecture development at AMD. It’s hard to say how this departure will affect AMD, but AMD said his departure. There is no impact on the AMD Zen processor, they will stick to the existing product roadmap.
Second, battery technology
1, not only iPhone6s, Apple iPhone6s Plus battery also shrinks. September 22 news, IT home has previously reported that Apple's iPhone6s, iPad mini 4 compared to the previous generation battery capacity has declined, now the foreign media found that the iPhone6s Plus battery also shrinks, from the iPhone6 ​​Plus's 2915mAh down to 2750mAh. Taiwan Media shared a picture of the iPhone6s Plus battery, which shows a capacity of 2750mAh. The shrinking of the two new iPhone batteries is mainly due to the addition of the TapTIc Engine components to the new machine, taking up more space. Although the battery capacity of the iPhone6s and 6s Plus has become smaller, according to Apple's official statement, the battery life of the two is exactly the same as the previous generation. Perhaps iOS9 has optimized the system's battery life, but the performance is still waiting for the real machine. Actual measurement.
2. Tesla Powerwall battery is about to enter Australia. In April of this year, Tesla released a lithium-ion battery called Powerwall that can be used to store excess solar energy and provide power during off-peak hours without sunlight. Now, Powerwall is about to land in the first new market outside the US: Australia. Powerwall became popular as soon as it was released, and it received more than 38,000 pre-orders in the first week. When people complained that the 2KW output of this battery is not enough for the daily use of ordinary households, Tesla decided to double this number, but the price remained unchanged. Now, Powerwall can maintain a stable output of 5KW, and the peak power is up to 7KW.
Third, automotive electronics
1. Tesla will release the Model X model SUV on September 29. On September 22, the US technology blog reported that Tesla will hold a press conference in Fremont, Calif., on Tuesday, September 29, to release the Model X model for the SUV. Fremont is also home to the Tesla factory. Tesla is expected to announce the price and model configuration of the Model X. Tesla has previously invited some early adopters to test the limited edition "Signature" version of Model X.

The report also mentioned that Apple had more contact with BMW before. The former's first electric car is likely to be developed based on the BMW i3. At the same time, Apple is speeding up the process of the project, such as choosing the right place to test. Wait. Apple employees broke the news to the outside world that they attach great importance to the car project, codenamed TItan, in addition to Ford, GM, Volkswagen, Tesla and other car companies to dig people, as well as California officials to join, is expected to scale 600 People, and for Apple, they tried to make it amazing enough.
Fourth, intelligent hardware
1. Apple has obtained a new patent for headphones, which adjusts the sound quality according to the size of the human ear. According to foreign media AppleInsider, a headset patent submitted by Apple shows that the company plans to integrate pressure sensing technology in future designs, which can adjust the output based on the user's ear size. It is reported that the patent is called "pressure-sensing earphones and their systems and methods". Unlike before, the new technology optimizes the system and adds a pressure sensor for better sound quality. General in-ear headphones (including EarPods) do not form a sealed channel with the ear canal. Although this design does not cause a drop in sound quality, the earphone frequency response will change depending on its seal with the surrounding skin.

V. Virtual reality
1. Sony PlayStaTIon VR will be available for sale: $800. At the Tokyo Game Show a few days ago, Sony announced the official name of the Project Morpheus Virtual Reality Headset Project called PlayStaTIon VR. While renaming its development kit, the company is also preparing to market the product. In an interview with Bloomberg, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said that he is currently considering setting the price of entry-level hardware at $800 (5093 yuan).
