Seagate company announced this week that in the previous quarter of its revenue does not exceed $ 2.6 billion., And the margin was 23%.  And if the latest index a manufacturer of hard drives is not too conceded in comparison with the previous reporting period, the drop in revenue to $ 2.6 billion -. This is a serious problem. Moreover, the available preliminary data allow Seagate to say that it has released in the last quarter of no more than 39 million. Hard drives.  This is much less than in any of the quarters of the last two financial years.  In fact, the first time in this period, Seagate has released at least 40 million Hard drives.   The fall in sales due to the decline in the Seagate hard drives demand from corporate customers, a reduction in demand for desktop computers in China, as well as the reluctance of the manufacturer to fight for a place in the segment of low-cost laptops.  Seagate says that hard drives in volume 8 TB enjoyed good demand.  Seagate can control up to 40% of the market, according to the company's own estimates.  The full quarterly report will be published on 29 April this year.

POSTER: computer news   ||   IN SHENZHEN AT IDF 2016, INTEL SHOWED THE WORK OF SSD MEMORY 3D XPOINT	DATE:2016-04-16
There are fears that the promised this year's solid-state drives Intel Optane 3D XPoint revolutionary memory  does not come out.  Edition Memory 3D XPoint must deal with Micron company .  In any case, before the company Intel will convert its own factory in China for the production of memory 3D NAND and 3D XPoint, that will not happen before the end of this year.    At the spring session IDF 2016 held in China, Intel representatives for the first time publicly demonstrated work SSD Optane drives Memory 3D XPoint.    Recall previous graphics argued that prototypes SSD Optane speed I / O operations and about 7 times better than 5 SSD with PCI Express bus .  Live demonstration at IDF 2016 confirmed confident SSD Optane advantage over SSD SATA storage on NAND-flash. On the stand were collected two systems: one on  SSD SATA with NAND memory, and the second - on the memory SSD Optane 3D XPoint.  Each of the systems through the Thunderbolt port 3 connects to   external drive for backups: the first with the same SSD SATA with NAND memory, the second - with SSD Optane memory 3D XPoint.  The process of transferring video heavy bunch of SSD NAND entered the transfer rate of 280 MB / s, and a bunch of SSD Optane - at transfer speeds up to 2 GB / s.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 43819 Rating: 10.0/10 (10 votes cast) In Shenzhen at IDF 2016, Intel showed the work of SSD memory 3D XPoint	Add Comment ( 1 ) IN SHENZHEN AT IDF 2016, INTEL SHOWED THE WORK OF SSD MEMORY 3D XPOINT

POSTER: computer news   ||   EARTHQUAKE HAS FORCED SONY TO SUSPEND THE RELEASE OF IMAGE SENSORS FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS	DATE:2016-04-16
Each manufacturer strives to cut costs providing an impressive inventory of products and components .   As reported by Bloomberg, the  destruction to the prefecture of Kumamoto in Kyushu earthquake forced company Sony  to suspend activities of the local factory for the production of image sensors for digital cameras that is operated here since 2001.  The staff was evacuated, and production stopped.  According to  Sony, the company building was not damaged much, but it is difficult to say when work will resume. Sony's sensors are now used in many smartphones party, so stop the factory could have a negative impact on the activities of the company's customers.  However, experts explain that in the case of Sony may need to quickly move the issue of image sensors from  Kumamoto in other regions of the country.  The disaster magnitude of 6.5 points on Thursday destroyed the objects of transport and energy infrastructure.

POSTER: computer news   ||   TSMC ALREADY HAS 20 CUSTOMERS ON PROJECTS WITH 7 NM	DATE:2016-04-16
This week, TSMC company reported the results of the first quarter of 2016.  In the middle of the quarter, TSMC factories has an earthquake in Taiwan, which made for a while lower production volumes.  But this is easily remedied.  Worse,  economic situation does not improve in the world,   forced the company to worsen its own forecast of individual markets and the industry in general.  The revival of their own business the company expects in the second half of this year, and last but not least hopes for Apple's orders for the new smartphones generation  .  Company Prediction changed for smartphones, which will increase sales than 8%, and 7% in 2016;  PC market forecast  falling increased from -3% to -6%, and forecast lower sales of tablets changed from -7% to -9%.  The gaming industry and wireless devices, however, will gradually increase the volume.  Overall, the company expects growth in the semiconductor industry by 1%, while the growth of contract manufacturing by 5%.  Its growth in 2016, the company TSMC sees in the range of 5-10%.  Last year, we will add, share TSMC on semiconductors market contract was 54.3%.  In the first quarter of 2016 TSMC gained $ 6.14 billion -.  12.8% less than in the same quarter last year.  Net revenue for the quarter was $ 2 billion., And also for the year decreased (by 18%). Separately, the company enjoyed the first digital customer projects for the production of 10-nm semiconductors.  During the year, we will be prepared more such projects, but "significant demand" for the 10-nm chips the company expects in the second quarter 2017.  Development of 7-nm process technology "is in full swing."  Since the production of 7 nm is 95% of the equipment used for discharging products 10 nm, the transition to the 7-nm process should occur relatively quickly.  Chips with the norms of 7 nm are 60% thicker and 30-40% less consumption than the 10-nm chips. Go to 7 nm will be of interest to developers of mobile electronics, GPU, video game consoles, FPGA, and other network processors.  In total the company counted more than 20 customers who are interested in the 7-nm process technology, which in 2017 plans to create about 15 digital projects with a focus on the technological standards of production. The company also continues to improve its 16-nm process technology and the increase in yield of crystals in this process technology.   TSMC expects that this year the sales of plates with 16-nm chips will reach 20% of the annual volume of the company's revenue.
