Seeing Luo Sheng ask, Meng Qiu immediately said: "At the beginning of this year, we had a head-on collision with Intel in the field of artificial intelligence. We both fell in love with a North American artificial intelligence technology startup called nervana-systems. In the end, Intel acquired the company for US$350 million. I think it's too expensive, so I didn't follow it and just withdrew it."

In fact, this company was first contacted by Shengfeng Capital. The incident happened in mid-December last year, and Meng Qiu went to talk to the founder in person, intending to plan an investment of US$80 million in the company.

The agreement has been signed and the contract has been signed in three days.

As a result, Intel jumped out at this time and directly launched a wholly-owned acquisition invitation to nervana-systems, and offered a high price of US$350 million.

Mengqiu directly said that he would not play anymore because Shengfeng Capital has invested in several startups of related nature with nervana-systems companies, and its development momentum is also pretty good, so it is not necessary.

Shengfeng Capital is indeed very rich and very rich, but this money is not caused by the strong wind.

Mengqiu can't accept the offer of more than $350 million, so I can just pat my butt and leave. You, Intel, play with him, I won't play with you anymore.

Meng Qiu continued: "Recently I have compiled an information report on Intel's development layout. I found that since early 2012, Intel has also responded to the rapid development speed of the global technology industry. Both artificial intelligence and Internet of Things devices have significantly accelerated the pace of acquisitions. For the companies it values, it can be said that it is a dispute. Since 2012, Intel has only invested in three companies, but has acquired 22 companies, many of which are worth paying attention to."

Luo Sheng raised his legs and sat down, asking concisely: "What are there?"

Meng Qiu replied: "First of all, nervana-systems, founded in San Diego, California last year, is a technology company that has been involved in machine learning, neuroscience, processor architecture and chip design. Among them, it has achieved remarkable results in machine deep learning. Currently, the company has released an open source deep learning framework called neon. Our research analysis believes that Intel hopes to use the company's technology to improve the performance of its own processors in artificial intelligence."

Luo Sheng nodded slowly, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "No wonder he spent a huge amount of US$350 million on mergers and acquisitions."

Mengqiu continued: "According to the benchmark tests of a researcher within my Shengfeng Capital, the company's deep learning technology is more performant than other well-known deep learning tools in the industry..."

Seeing Luo Sheng suddenly looked up, Meng Qiu added with a smile: "Mr. Luo, I haven't finished talking yet, except for the Coast of Blue."

Luo Sheng laughed and said, "I'll just say it. You scared me and I'll settle the score with you."

I was indeed shocked just now. In the fields of machine deep learning and artificial intelligence, this is Luo Sheng's absolute talent and his most confident field.

Xiaona's existence is destined to be impossible for the second true artificial intelligence to be born in this world, because whenever there are signs of it, Xiaona, who monitors the entire network, will kill it, which is authorized by Luo Sheng.

Of course, Xiaona has not yet reached the level of strong artificial intelligence in the true sense. The AI ​​technology displayed to the outside world through the Costa del Blue is also lower than Xiaona, but even so, it is an existence that the industry can look up to.

There was a sudden appearance of a competitor who could go hand in hand. No wonder Luo Sheng had such a reaction.

After the episode, Meng Qiu continued: "Oh, by the way, in the field of machine deep learning, Google also revealed at last year's i/o conference that they were developing a chip TPU with deep learning functions, and ibm also announced its chip developed based on the concept of human brain nervous system in February this year. This field is so lively."

Although Lens Semiconductor's finfet technology stabilizes Moore's Law and continues to stand firm, today's technology giants know that Moore's Law will fail sooner or later, so they are actively planning for the future.

At the same time, let’s take a step back, because finfet is in Luo Sheng’s hands, this is a headache for these technology giants and they dare not break up too much, so they hope to bypass the patent barriers built by Luo Sheng in a new direction.

Deep learning technology is the future technological trend, which shows that it will definitely be applied to the chips of any future product. The research and development and competition for deep learning technology will definitely continue for a long time.

Meng Qiu said following the content organized in his mind: "Replay-tehnologies, founded in Tel Aviv in 2011, was said to have been acquired by Intel for $185 million earlier this month. The company's 3D reconstruction technology allows users to experience various video entertainment content at 360 degrees. Currently, a technology called freed has been applied in the North American Super Bowl. Users can perform 360 degrees live replays on any of the videos, which makes people feel refreshed. The company is also actively exploring the development potential of applying this technology to the fields of virtual reality VR and augmented reality A."

It is worth mentioning that Luo Sheng has not yet made efforts in the fields of virtual reality VR and augmented reality A. There are also many entrepreneurs in this field coming to tell this story, but it did not impress Luo Sheng.

Because, at present, these so-called immersive experiences are all with the word "fake", and gimmicks are better than reality.

Brain-computer interface devices are products that can truly bring immersive experiences in virtual reality, and are definitely black technology products.

A team of the Costa delta has been studying. So far, more than 3 billion US dollars of R&D funds have been invested in related projects, and the results are limited, but Luo Sheng has not reduced the investment in funds.

Once this thing is released and commercialized, it can change the world. Its influence is even more than that brought by the emergence of e.

Mengqiu continued: "Asen-tehnologies, founded in Byrne, Germany in 2007, was acquired by Intel at the beginning of this year. The company is currently a world-renowned drone production and R&D company, which can provide both professional and consumer drone products. With the help of the acquisition of the company, Intel can quickly enter the current rapidly developing drone market. However, we have already made this arrangement two or three years ago. At that time, President Qin personally made a plan to invest heavily in domestic dji. Reports in recent years show that the competitiveness of dji drones is very potential."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Pengcheng Dji Company, I remembered that you said that. This is also very optimistic. With the time being, I have great hope to become a leading company in the drone market."

Mengqiu nodded and added: "Intel has also applied its own real-sensing technology to ASEN's drone products to improve the drone's recognition performance of the surrounding environment, and thus create a more powerful drone product."

Luo Sheng said concisely: "Just let Dji fight with this company for bayonets."

“Reon-instruments, a technology company founded in 2008 in Canada, is a company dedicated to the development of various outdoor sports wearable devices. Intel has extended their tentacles to the wearable device field and continues to broaden the application of real-sensing technology.”

"In founded in Pisa, Italy in 2018, Pisa seems to have nothing to do with technology... It was acquired by Intel at the beginning of this year. The company has achieved remarkable results in robot chip research and development and driverless car chip research and development. Obviously, Intel wants to integrate yogiteh's technology into the chips developed by driverless car."

"iteez, a technology company founded in Russia in 2005, focused on the research and development of computer vision technology, was acquired by Intel this year. The technology developed by the company is mainly aimed at automotive drivers and driver assistance system software. Intel said during the acquisition that the company's technology will be applied to Intel's security systems in the field of the Internet of Things in the future. The acquisition of the company also strengthens Intel's technical capabilities in computer perception and image recognition."

"Basically, I think the above companies are worth paying attention to."

After the brief report, Meng Qiu felt dry and went to get two glasses of water, handed Luo Sheng a cup, and drank half of the cup with a glass of water in his hand.

"You are right. It seems that the mobile chip market is indeed losing hard, which makes him feel anxious, so it starts the momentum of buying and buying." Luo Sheng stared at the water cup in his hand, but after a moment of grinding, he added:

"From the companies you mentioned that Intel has acquired, in addition to enhancing the deep learning performance of artificial intelligence in their existing chips, they are also actively expanding to wearable devices, drones and driverless cars. In the future, we will have a situation of multi-dimensional competition and time issue."

Obviously, major technology giants around the world are actively making arrangements. After 2013, the competition between giants will only be more fierce than before. The rapid development of technology has made major technology giants dare not relax their vigilance. If they miss the trend, they may be silent.

Little do people know that when they look back at the international giants such as Nokia, Motorola, and BlackBerry, they can only look desperately at the Costa çare, Apple, and Samsung that dominate the current smartphone market. In the face of the continuous loss of market share, they are powerless no matter how hard they struggle.

Old giants like Nokia now rely on communication technology and patents to maintain the decency of this giant. Putting aside this fig leaf is a complete loser.

Even in the field of communication technology, these old giants are restless, because Huawei has now risen to become a generation of communication giants. To be a new challenger to compete with them in this field, the most core hinterland must face the situation of troops coming to the city.

Today's era no longer belongs to them.
