Samsung announced the OEM Qualcomm 5G chip, HUAWEI and Qualcomm completed 5GNRIODT. At Feb. 22, Samsung announced in the official website, Qualcomm 5G mobile device chip will be built based on their 7nmLPP technology, the technology node will introduce EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography). Samsung said its partnership with Qualcomm will last at least 10 years. The next generation of Qualcomm flagship processor will adopt Samsung's latest 7nmLPPEUV technology, and support 5G network.

The next generation of chips mentioned here are basically determined by the previous exposure name of the 855. Compared with the current 10nmFinFET process, the 7Nm process technology will reduce the area by 40%, improve the performance by 10%, and reduce the power consumption by 35%. On the same day, QualcommTechnologies and HUAWEI jointly announced that both sides have successfully completed the 5GNR interoperability test based on 3GPPRelease15 standard (IODT: InteroperabilityandDevelopmentTesting). The test takes advantage of QualcommTechnologies's UE prototyping and HUAWEI's 5G commercial system, which is a key milestone in accelerating the maturation of the Release155GNR ecosystem. The success of QualcommTechnologies and HUAWEI interoperability testing will greatly promote the commercialization of 5G networks in the industry, and recommend investors to pay more attention to it.

PCB ushered in the boom cycle, the wind and the mainland manufacturers: Global PCB proofing service brand "Jieduobang" learned that according to the relevant data, in 2016 the total output of the world's PCB for $54 billion 200 million, on the whole, 2010-2016 years PCB industry output is relatively stable, volatility is not. In mainland China, the total output value of PCB in 2016 reached 27 billion 100 million US dollars, accounting for 50% of the world and 3.45% over the same period. The total output value in Asia reached $49 billion 562 million, accounted for 91.43% of the world, the global PCB industry has been from the "European dominated" to "Asian dominated", formed in Asia (especially China Chinese) as the center, the rest of the supplement, Chinese is currently the world's one of the largest and most complete product production capacity of PCB type the area provides enough.

Jieduobang said that since 2017, the main products of PCB manufacturers have the capacity expansion, process to enhance the ability of investment.Generally, PCB uses the production model, firm expansion is mainly based on the optimistic expectations of downstream market demand. Under the influence of environmental policy, PCB small factories will be phased out gradually. Meanwhile, PCB Dachang Shennan circuit and Jing Wang Electronics will be listed to expand financing channels and enhance competitiveness. At present, the share of the top five factories in China is less than 10%, and the market share will steadily increase in the future.

Last week, the electronic plate performance review: this week the overall market rose, the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 index rose by 2.63%. Among them, Shen Wan electronic index rose 2.01%, lost 0.62 percentage points in Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 index, CITIC electronics component index increased 1.97%, and lost 300 percentage points in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock index 0.66 percentage points.
