韩国媒体 ETnews 报道,Samsung 承接了来自 Google 的芯片生产订单。报道指订单包含不同功能的芯片,当中一款是用于测量人体移动的感应芯片。
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
消息指感应芯片会用于行动装置上的感应器,估计未必是用于智能电话,而是用于穿戴装置上。Google 之前已提出收购穿戴装置生产商 Fitbit,虽然欧盟已经介入并启动反垄断调查,但可见 Google 想直接投入生产自家的穿戴装置。今次生产传感芯片应该是为推出自家穿戴装置准备,至于是用于运动手带还是期待已久的Pixel Watch 手表就未清楚。
