Samsung To Manufacture Huawei Kirin Chips
By Diane Samson
Samsung Electronics is starting to focus more efforts on its chip manufacturing business. Huawei is being rumored to be in talks with the South Korean company to manufacture the next generation of Kirin chipsets that will one day be powering smartphones and tablets.
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is also being attached to the project, but it is unclear whether Huawei is still in the process of choosing between the two semiconductor suppliers or both companies will be producing Kirin chips. Apple has, earlier this year, hired TSMC and Samsung to each manufacture the same A9 chips that are now running iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus units.
TSMC and Huawei has a long working history and the Taiwanese company clearly has the capacity to produce a large number of chips as the third biggest semiconductor supplier in the world.
Samsung, however, has been making a name for itself in the chip industry. The South Korean company, better known for its line of Galaxy handsets, is the second largest supplier of semiconductor sales trailing behind old-timer Intel Corp.
Samsung also has its own Exynos chips that the company has used in place of a Snapdragon 810 to power the Galaxy S6 (and all of its variations) and the Galaxy Note 5.
The company is using a smaller 14 nm FinFET system, which, in theory, should be able to consume less energy than larger process size. In comparison, TSMC is using 16 nm to manufacture chips.
While Samsung clearly has an advantage over TSMC in terms of technology, the South Korean manufacturer receives bad press because the 14 nm A9 chips are less energy efficient than the units running the 16 nm chips from TSMC. According to multiple reports, TSMC-supplied chips performed better in benchmarking tests than the ones made by Samsung.
Apple clarified that the margin between the two versions of the chip should be around 2 to 3 percent, and the company argued that the benchmarking test is "unrealistic" because it pushes the CPU to its peak performance until the battery is drained.

Vietnam's Jan-Nov FDI inflow to hit record high of $13.2 bln
Vietnam's actual foreign direct investment (FDI) during the first 11 months of 2015 is expected to rise 17.9 percent to a record high of US$13.2 billion, beating a government forecast, the government said on Thursday.
There have been more than 40,800 new business since, up around 30 percent year-on-year. In November alone, the number was 8,400, up 8.2 percent from the same month last year.

Tencent , Samsung battle for place as Asia’s top firm
Source:Reuters-Global Times Published: 2016/8/26 5:03:40
http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1002951.shtml
Shares hit record highs as tech companies thrive
Tencent Holdings and Samsung Electronics Co are racing to be crowned Asia's most valuable company as expectations for robust earnings growth push their share prices to record highs.
Their surge - both have gained by a third this year - has made them the world's best performing large cap tech stocks and highlights how these nimble Asian firms are thriving while rivals Apple Inc and Alibaba Group Holding have struggled.
"These companies can grow earnings despite weaker global growth," said Andrew Gillan, head of Asia ex-Japan equities at fund managing firm Henderson Global Investors, which is overweight on Asian technology firms.
"The operating fundamentals of the Chinese Internet sector particularly have surprised positively in the most recent quarterly results," Gillan noted.
While many investors remain upbeat about Samsung and Tencent, some caution the firms are vulnerable to rapid swings in sentiment on any sign of slowing momentum. Samsung and Tencent have been more volatile than the Asia tech sector and the broader market this year.
On Wednesday, Samsung said sales of its latest flagship smartphone were outstripping supply, but second-half profits could still take a hit if production shortfalls are not fixed and a recovery in components demand fails to eventuate.
Moody's Investor Service also warned that Samsung's profit margins might narrow in the second half because of seasonal factors in the consumer electronics business and competitive pressures.
For Tencent, the market expectations that are driving shares higher are themselves a risk, according to Nomura.
A faster-than-expected slowdown in personal computer game revenue, aggressive spending and new products or business models from competitors could weigh on earnings, the bank warned.
The numbers
Samsung and Tencent have added about $30 billion in market value since August 25, surging to all-time highs. Tencent is valued at $249 billion, only 4 percent smaller than the most valuable Asian firm, China Mobile, at $259 billion. Samsung is now worth $239 billion.
Tencent is now the world's 12th biggest company by market value and Samsung the 17th largest one, Thomson Reuters data shows.
That's up from No.26 and No.33 respectively just five months ago, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers ranking released on March 31.
Samsung shares' have significantly outperformed Apple's - the South Korean firm has leapt 50 percent over the past year, while the US company has gained 3 percent amid concern about weak sales in China.
The gap between Samsung's price-to-earnings ratio of 12.4 and Apple's 12.7 is now the narrowest since late 2011, although Samsung is still worth less than half Apple, according to Thomson Reuters data. Apple is now worth $586 billion.
Samsung's share price growth spurt comes after years of struggle in its smartphone business which left investors impatient for higher returns.
The firm revived mobile profits by restructuring its product lineup this year and is seeking ways to sustain earnings momentum. Buybacks and higher dividends have also boosted shares.
Tencent is significantly more expensive than Samsung. The Chinese Internet firm, whose popular WeChat messaging apps in China saw active monthly user numbers jump 34 percent in the second quarter, trades at 46.8 times earnings, closing in on Facebook's 59.
China's slowest economic growth in 25 years and some questionable acquisitions have clouded the outlook for Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, but Tencent has managed to thrive thanks in part to its focus on rapidly growing mobile gaming.
Tencent outshone peers including Baidu with a forecast-beating 47 percent jump in second-quarter profit, after it diversified into areas such as music, video and advertising.
HSBC expects further earnings growth, driven by new income streams.

China's ATL to provide Samsung's replacement batteries
China Daily, September 13, 2016
China's Amperex Technology Limited is now providing batteries for Samsung Electronics Co's Galaxy Note 7 smartphone, after faulty batteries prompted a worldwide recall of the phones, an ATL manager said on Monday.
Battery shipments from ATL, whose headquarters are in Hong Kong, will increase greatly, said the manager, who declined to give his name. He did not provide the number of batteries to be shipped.
ATL also offers batteries for other domestic and foreign smartphone manufacturers
The confirmation followed a report by South Korea's Yonhap News Agency that Samsung will now use only batteries provided by ATL for the Galaxy Note 7.
Samsung declined to comment on Monday.
Following the recall, which was announced earlier this month, Samsung ordered an additional 4 million batteries from ATL, Yonhap reported on Sunday, citing unidentified industry sources.
Shares of Samsung Electronics plunged by 6.98 percent on Monday after the South Korean electronics giant urged users worldwide to stop using its Galaxy Note 7 following reports of exploding batteries.
Some Chinese experts urged further investigation of the reports that the smartphones had exploded, saying other parts might have been faulty.
Meanwhile, international airlines and aviation agencies have banned passengers from switching on or charging the Samsung phones during flights.
Chinese airlines such as Air China said they haven't received a notification to ban in-flight use of Galaxy Note 7 phones.
South Korean electronics giant Samsung decided to cease sales and recalled 2.5 million Note 7 units in 10 markets, including Singapore, the United States and South Korea, on Sept 2. The decision came after some of the phones were found to have faulty batteries.
The Galaxy Note 7 recall does not cover customers in China. A statement from Samsung China confirmed that the smartphones sent for customers in China use batteries from a different supplier.
ATL is poised to become the only battery provider for Samsung, which is the world's largest smartphone maker by shipments, the Yonhap agency said.
Since ATL also supplies batteries for Apple's iPhone series, Samsung could face supply problems if demand soars for the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Yonhap said.

Made in China once again proves its high relevancy in global innovation and quality. If it worked with ATL from the beginning, Samsung would save itself from a huge reputation dent and recall cost.

Didn't that @VALKRYIE said Made in China is unsafe ?

Maybe he should be lecturing Samsung why the hell they choose Made in China batteries
If there's something wrong with it then maybe he shouldn't be using any electronic products because nobody escapes MADE IN CHINA components
, it's everywhere
