1. It is a friendly acquisition, because in recent years, SoftBank has been actively promoting development in the field of robotics. They launched the Pepper humanoid robot and will continue to improve the company's competitiveness in the artificial intelligence industry. At the beginning of this year, when talking about SoftBank’s future development, Son Masayoshi said, “I want to build a company that can continue to grow for at least 300 years. In order to achieve sustained growth, we need to find all potential obstacles and find solutions. Among them, Artificial intelligence has high hopes for Masayoshi Son. Regarding artificial intelligence, Masayoshi Son described it this way: “The technological singularity has begun to appear, and artificial intelligence has begun to surpass humans. Even if artificial intelligence surpasses humans, we should not view it as a threat. On the contrary, whoever can get the most benefit from artificial intelligence will have the opportunity to become the hero of the new era. ”
2. Artificial intelligence will promote a new round of computing revolution, and core chips are the strategic commanding heights of the artificial intelligence era. In the PC era and the mobile Internet era, ARM is the best choice. . As we all know, ARM architecture has been used in 85% of smart mobile devices around the world, and more than 95% of smartphones are based on ARM designs. Now, ARM is becoming the standard for smart hardware and Internet of Things devices. ARM has released a new processor architecture design, mainly for 5G modems and large container storage SoC embedded devices, which will become the basis for the popularization of artificial intelligence in the future and can significantly reduce power consumption and costs. ARM CEO Simon Segars said that only when. Only when the cost and price of AI become affordable for ordinary people will it truly reach the goal that people expect.
3. According to ARM’s financial report, in the fourth quarter of 2015, ARM *** authorized it. 51 chip licenses, the main application directions are: mobile computing, smart cars, security systems and the Internet of Things. Among them, it is worth mentioning the smart car direction, including NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Japan's Renesas Electronics (RENSAS), all based on ARM design and development. "I have two investment criteria: first, strong technology, and second, the potential to become a regional market leader. Companies with strong technology will be in a good position to compete globally. "Obviously, ARM, which has a monopoly position, is the best choice in the fields of smart cars, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence where software and hardware will be deployed in the future.
