韓國媒體 ETnews 報道,Samsung 承接了來自 Google 的晶片生產訂單。報道指訂單包含不同功能的晶片,當中一款是用於測量人體移動的感應晶片。
Samsung Electronics also obtained an order from Google regarding manufacturing of more than one chip. It is heard that Google requested a semiconductor that will go into a sensor that can measure body movements rather than for processors that go into current IT devices and an unprecedented application processor
消息指感應晶片會用於行動裝置上的感應器,估計未必是用於智能電話,而是用於穿戴裝置上。Google 之前已提出收購穿戴裝置生產商 Fitbit,雖然歐盟已經介入並啟動反壟斷調查,但可見 Google 想直接投入生產自家的穿戴裝置。今次生產感測晶片應該是為推出自家穿戴裝置準備,至於是用於運動手帶還是期待已久的Pixel Watch 手表就未清楚。
