Intel continues to lose market share to AMD, targets 2025 growth again
On September 11th, at the Evercore ISI TMT summit, Intel admitted that there is a risk of continuing to lose market share. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said he believes that AMD will continue to plunder the market share that originally belonged to Intel, and it is difficult to restore this trend in the short term.
At the same time, it takes time to launch products, and Intel will continue to lose market share for a long time. Intel expects that it will not show competitiveness until 2025 at the earliest, and it will only hope to reverse the trend of declining share in 2026.

At 693 square feet (64 square meters) when fully deployed, the satellite is the largest commercial antenna array ever launched into space. Its mission: to test new technologies designed to deliver global cellular phone service directly to users from space. The goal is to fill coverage gaps, providing seamless high-speed phone and data service in underserved areas. (Source: CnBeta)

IDC: iPhone 14 is expected to consolidate Apple’s high-end mobile phone market dominance
On September 11, IDC data showed that in the first half of 2022, the market share of high-end mobile phones above US$600 in China reached 13.3%, an increase of 1.0 and 3.8 percentage points compared with the same period in 2021 and 2020.
IDC believes that the severe economic environment will continue to affect consumer budget spending, and it is unlikely that the domestic smartphone market will see much improvement in 2022. However, products that can bring a differentiated experience can still impress consumers and drive consumers to switch.
Even the iPhone 14, which plays the main role in shipments, still has problems such as using the previous-generation chip, not supporting high refresh rates, and slow charging of the whole system, but the launch of the Plus model with a larger screen size and the appearance of “Smart Island” The major changes in the iPhone 14 series, the continuous improvement of the image experience, and the new color matching of the body will make the upgrade of the iPhone 14 series more intuitive for consumers. In particular, the price of the low-storage version of the whole series remains unchanged, which is likely to trigger a certain wave of replacements, which will continue to consolidate or enhance Apple’s advantages in the high-end mobile phone market in China.

Atmospheric pressure cold plasma can inhibit the invasion of coronavirus, laying the foundation for the development of new crown preventive drugs
A new study by Chinese and Australian researchers found that atmospheric-pressure cold plasma can inhibit the invasion of coronaviruses into human cells, laying the foundation for the development of drugs such as nasal sprays that can prevent the new coronavirus. The paper was recently published in the Australian Journal of Diagnostic Therapeutics.
Atmospheric cold plasma is a kind of plasma generated under normal atmospheric pressure and the temperature is close to room temperature. It has the characteristics of safety and human body tolerance, and can sterilize, promote skin wound healing, and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Queensland University of Technology Professor Rick Thompson, who led the research, said the new coronavirus needs to bind to the receptor ACE2 on the surface of human cells to enter and infect human cells. Their research found that even if it is only briefly exposed to atmospheric pressure cold plasma, the ACE2 receptors on the cell surface will disappear immediately, which reduces the way the new coronavirus infects human cells through the receptors and achieves the effect of preventing infection. In a laboratory culture system, the inhibition of ACE2 receptors by atmospheric pressure cold plasma can be achieved for about 9 hours. (Source: Xinhua News Agency)
