LENOVO TO START PRODUCTION DESKTOPS AND NOTEBOOKS IN THE U.S.

LENOVO TO START PRODUCTION desktops and notebooks in the U.S.

The Chinese manufacturer Lenovo plans in the near future to start assembly of desktop computers and laptops in America. According to industrial sources of resource Digitimes, the production capacity of the fitted line will be small, but it will be enough to meet state orders and deliveries for the corporate segment.

In line with the growth rate in the total production of their own making, Lenovo has built five plants in China. At the same time, the company has two factories outside the country - in Mexico and India. In the near future also involves the construction of plants for the production of computer equipment in Sao Paulo (Brazil) and North Carolina (USA). The sources also did not rule out the possibility of building a Chinese company plants in Germany and Canada.

As for his own production, its share in the total volume of products Lenovo, according to sources, is expected to increase from 20% in 2012 to 50% in 2013.

According to IDC, in the third quarter Lenovo takes second place in the market for corporate desktop users with a market share of 18.4%. In a market leader Hewlett-Packard (HP) - 19,3%. And the production of notebooks for the corporate segment Lenovo confident leader with a market share of 22.3%.

TAIWANESE COMPANIES ARE INVESTING IN AMOLED PANEL PRODUCTION

Taiwanese companies are investing in AMOLED panel production

According to the resource Digitimes, Taiwanese panel makers continue to increase investment in the production of OLED-displays, including flexible. Companies such as AU Optronics (AUO) and Innolux Corporation (which changed its name from Chimei Innolux November 14, 2012) is more optimistic about the future use of AMOLED-panels in the ultra-mobile devices and TVs.

However, it is also reported that AUO has reached a dead point in increasing the proportion of yield panels RGB AMOLED - the company still can not raise rates because of a number of bottlenecks created by the production of displays used for vacuum deposition process. Simultaneously, Innolux, according to sources, is also experiencing difficulties with the improvement of production W-OLED panels due to a lack of resources and personnel.

All this makes AUO and Innolux to invest more resources in research and development segment of the technology AMOLED, especially after the experienced staff of both companies began to leave the job for a similar factories in mainland China. The sources added that the AUO and Innolux will likely improve significantly the scale of production of AMOLED-display in 2013, which will enable them to withstand the increasing competition from Chinese manufacturers panels.

MICROSOFT SURFACE TABLET AVAILABLE IN STORES BEST BUY

MICROSOFT SURFACE TABLET available in stores BEST BUY

Microsoft partners have enought to gloom: the software giant continues to expand access to their own devices in retail sales. Until recently, they were only sold through the Microsoft network or in the online stores of the company, but the situation is changing. Selling Surface RT 12th, took a major U.S. trade retail chain Staples. On the same day Microsoft Surface tablets appeared in the online store Best Buy.

On December 16, the device goes and retailers Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile.

Perhaps these new clearly hostile towards partners steps the company is taking the pressure pretty sluggish sales of its tablets. In mid-November, the head of Microsoft#39;s Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) acknowledged that the start of sales of Surface was Skoromnov. But it was only a few weeks after the opening.

Analysts#39; estimates for sales Surface RT differ. Rhoda Alexander (Rhoda Alexander) of IHS believes that Microsoft will be able to sell up to 1.3 million tablets in the current quarter. Analysts at Detwiler Fenton expect that the numbers do not exceed one million units. Early next year, Microsoft should release a tablet Surface Pro, working on the basis of a full-fledged Windows 8.

INTEL PASS ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL TRANSISTORS MOBILE SOCCHIPOV

INTEL PASS ON THREE-DIMENSIONAL TRANSISTORS MOBILE SOC-CHIPS

Intel has adopted a new strategy for the development of integrated circuits for mobile gadget: smart phones and tablet computers. It is this segment of consumer devices in recent years shows the most rapid pace of development, so that any chip maker wants to take a bite of it as possible to a larger piece. According to Intel, its new doctrine will give the company an additional impetus to the market with the launch of a more productive and cost-effective chip.

The new doctrine implies a mobile manufacturing integrated circuits using the technology of three-dimensional `` transistors. Such technology is already quite a long time and has been used successfully in the issuance of central processors for personal computers, and now Intel said the willingness to extend the field of application of this technology.

What does the mobile SoC-chip migration to three-dimensional transistor? First, it means moving with the release of the 32-nm chips like `system-on-a-chip #39;to release 22-nm SoC-chips. Second, increased capacity of semiconductor devices - from 22% to 65% - by reducing power consumption.

The latter factor is particularly important for mobile electronics, as it means more autonomy than before gadgets.

This all sounds very good, but the interesting question as to the timing of new 22-nm SoC-chip. According voiced reports, the first ready-made device will go off the assembly line in the second half of 2013. Unfortunately, more officials Intel has not told, but even a small market analysis can provide information on the cost of chips.

Microchips family of Intel Atom are sold for as low as $ 42, and competing firms produce goods of the same class even cheaper. Intel is unlikely to be able to successfully play the market with a price tag well above the level of $ 40 for the cheapest scheme. But the advanced process technology and competitive advantages will establish a decent price - too aggressive pricing and significant discounts are unlikely to be needed.
