Samsung shows off its latest processor, memory and 5G technologies

-

Samsung unveiled a whole host of new silicon technologies at its Annual Tech Day event in San Jose, California today. The agenda included a new premium mobile processor, a new 5G modem, the mass production of its latest DRAM and more.

Today's announcements show that Samsung is building on its strengths to become even more competitive in the semiconductor market. This market is of great importance of Samsung given that it accounts for a big chunk of the conglomerate's revenues.

A new premium mobile SoC and 5G modem were on the agenda

The Exynos 990 premium mobile SoC was one of the highlights of Tech Day 2019. It's accompanied by the 5G Exynos Modem 5123. Both chips are built on the most advanced 7nm process using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Aside from generational enhancements, the Exynos 990 also comes with a 120Hz refresh-rate display driver, which could mean that Samsung phones with 120Hz displays may become a possibility next year.

The company also announced the mass production of its third-generation 10nm class 1z-nm DRAM. It's optimized for premium server platform development. This couldn't have come at a better time as data center customers are expected to ramp up their memory purchases in the final quarter of this year.

A spike in demand will help Samsung recoup the revenues that it has lost from this business over the past few quarters due to a supply glut. To that end, it also highlighted new business possibilities for next-generation memory technologies. This includes the company's 7th-generation V-NAND for premium memory solutions and next-generation PCIe Gen5 SSDs for storage and server applications.

Samsung unveiled its UFS-based 12GB LPDDR4X multichip package. It combines four 24Gb LPDDR4X chips with an ultra-fast eUFS 3.0 NAND storage in one single package. This will allow the company to go beyond the existing 8GB package limit in mid-range smartphones while also bringing more than 10GB of memory to the smartphone market at large.

The company also set up a demo pavilion at Tech Day 2019 to showcase the future of mobile and 5G, home automation, data centers and automotive technology. It engaged with some of the leading companies in Silicon Valley and highlighted customer collaborations on GPU, PCIe Gen4 and HBM2e technologies.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK).
