US media: millet launched their own processors, displayed ambition to enter the top manufacturers-millet, pine nut processors-IT information

People familiar with the matter said, Chinese millet company plans to launch a cell phone using a custom microprocessor. The Wall Street Journal commented on February 10, which highlights the millet in the highly competitive domestic market difficult situation and into the ranks of the world's top handset maker's ambition.

A person familiar with the matter said, millet intends to release in a month its "Pine Cone" (Pinecone) processor. Millet company will thus become the Huawei Technologies Co Ltd (Huawei Technologies Co.) China after the second smart phone makers that use r processors. Another person familiar with the matter said, Beijing pinecone electronics (Beijing Pinecone Electronics) millet is the entity set up to independently developed Smartphone processor chipset. According to regulatory documents, before Beijing electron-pine cones and millet signed a pledge agreement.

Reports that Chinese companies are stepping up research and development of proprietary technology in order to stand out from the competition and provide more seamless mobile phone hardware and software. Science and technology-research firm DRAMeXchange (Trendforce) in Taiwan, said Sean Yang, Research Director, top electronics manufacturers, developed the chip has its significance. Yang said a phone maker only independent optimization of hardware and software integration, to achieve the best possible user experience.

Reports that the self-developed chips and related technology also enables the millet from the effects of supply chain disruptions. In millet's most important overseas markets India, independent research and development also provides another benefit: at present, millet's high-end phones using Qualcomm (Qualcomm Inc) chip, low-end mobile phone use mediatek Corporation (MediaTek Inc) chip, but in India the patent dispute that millet could not use Qualcomm chips in mobile phones sold in India.

Problem is millet processors can and other Smartphone has developed the chip manufacturers--such as Apple, Samsung and Huawei--to compete. Bernstein Research analyst Mark Li says doing so is risky, creating mobile chips that can compete with other companies need a lot of resources.

Recent accessories tightness in the global smartphone market, highlighting the potential advantages of the smart company developed mobile phone accessories. However, it is still not clear whether millet to find their own strengths. League Secretary General Wang yanhui, China Mobile said Apple has its own operating system company and Huawei Technologies, has decades of experience manufacturing network equipment is the independent research and development leader in the chip.

美媒：小米推出自家处理器，显示进军顶级制造商的雄心 - 小米,松果处理器 - IT资讯

知情人士称，中国小米公司计划推出一款使用定制微处理器的手机。美国《华尔街日报》2月10日就此评论说，这凸现了小米在高度竞争的国内市场的艰难处境以及进入全球顶级手机制造商行列的雄心。

一名知情人士表示，小米打算在一个月内发布其“松果”(Pinecone)处理器。小米公司将由此成为继华为技术有限公司(Huawei Technologies Co.)之后中国第二家使用自主研发处理器的智能手机制造商。另有知情人士称，北京松果电子(Beijing Pinecone Electronics)是小米设立用来自主开发智能手机处理器芯片组的实体。监管文件显示，北京松果电子和小米之前签有一份股权质押协议。

报道说，中国企业正在加大研发自有技术的力度以求从竞争者中脱颖而出，并提供硬件和软件更无缝衔接的手机。科技研究公司集邦科技(Trendforce)驻台湾研究主管Sean Yang称，对顶级电子产品制造商来说，自主研发芯片有其意义。Yang称，一家手机制造商只有自主优化硬件和软件集成时，才能实现最佳的用户体验。

报道指出，自主研发芯片及相关技术也能使小米免受供应链中断的影响。在小米最重要的海外市场印度，自主研发芯片还可以带来另外一个好处：目前小米的高端手机使用高通公司(Qualcomm Inc)的芯片，低端手机则使用联发科技股份有限公司(MediaTek Inc)的芯片，但在印度的专利权纠纷使得小米无法在印度出售使用高通芯片的手机。

问题是小米的处理器能否和其他拥有自主研发芯片的智能手机制造商——如苹果公司、三星电子和华为——相抗衡。Bernstein Research分析师Mark Li称，这样做是有风险的，开发能够和别的公司竞争的移动芯片需要大量资源。

近期全球智能手机市场的配件供应紧俏，凸显了智能手机公司自主研发配件的潜在优势。然而，目前仍不清楚小米是否能够找到自己的优势。手机中国联盟秘书长王艳辉称，拥有自己操作系统的苹果公司和拥有几十年制造网络设备经验的华为是自主研发芯片领域的领头羊。
