Snapdragon 8Gen3+ satellite communication chip leads to price increase? The consumer market is facing a new test
Everyone knows that in Huawei was the United States"Stuck neck"After the chip, the world's chip market is also a piece"Bloody and bloody", many companies have encountered a strand"Black Whirlwind", and this storm is directed at these companies. The performance is declining, the inventory pressure is increasing, and the situation is severe. This time, not only China's chip industry, but also the core industry of the United States has been turned upside down, breaking the balance of the entire industry, and China's chip will undoubtedly become a catastrophe for the global semiconductor industry, and no one will be spared.
And then there is"Winter period"From "short supply" to "surplus", coupled with the impact of the United States on the chip industry, all this happened between lightning and flint, so that most companies did not have time to react. Taking TSMC as an example, in the case of insufficient chip industry, the number of chip foundries will often rise, so it will continue to purchase chip production equipment to accelerate the establishment of new processes. At a time when the chip market was in short supply, TSMC stopped buying EUV lithography machines from ASML and stopped the construction of new production lines, resulting in a drop in production capacity to less than 50%.
TSMC is not the only one, during this time, not only chip manufacturers, Micron, Qualcomm, Intel, Samsung, have suffered serious losses, and many CEOs of companies have even publicly condemned the United States for "Chinese chips".
Of course, this is not just because of the transfer of the chip industry, but more due to the weakness of consumers. Over time, with the increase in the price of chips, the ** of the Snapdragon 8gen3+ satellite communication chip is getting higher and higher, and as time goes by, the ** of these mobile phones will also be higher and higher. Therefore, this is a completely new test for mobile phone manufacturers, both in the ** and in the consumer market.
Some people may ask, since the price has been raised, why add an additional satellite communication chip? Obviously, most general users will not use the satellite communication function. In fact, several bloggers said a long time ago that satellite communications "have to follow the technology of mobile manufacturers, whether you use it or not."
This has a lot to do with the 6 g deployment strategy. With the Huawei Mate60 series mobile phones equipped with satellites for the first time, major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, including Samsung and Apple, will follow suit, which is a good development direction!
Obviously, with the development of chips, the pressure on mobile phone manufacturers to survive is also increasing. The increased cost is either to transfer the ** to the consumer, or to keep the original ** and compress the profit. However, one thing is certain, that is, *** will affect consumers' willingness to buy, which in turn will affect the shipment of new models.
The average time it takes for users around the world to change phones has increased to 51 months, many netizens said"Can't afford it"，"Too expensive"。Obviously, there are many users who are not very satisfied with this price, at this time, the price reduction, it is likely to extinguish the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of users to replace the new machine, how to choose, is also a big problem. Do you think that the chip *** will increase the price of smart phones? Leave a comment below!
