Records show Foxconn, Wisconsin nearing a deal
AP, MADISON, Wisconsin
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) is willing to accept a reduction in state tax credits “in exchange for a flexible business environment in Wisconsin,” the company told US state officials as both sides move closer to reaching a new deal.
Communication between the state and Hon Hai, known internationally as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團), show both sides are nearing agreement, records obtained on Friday by the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Wisconsin State Journal showed.
The state has been pushing Hon Hai to amend the contract to reflect the company’s construction of a smaller facility than the original contract envisioned.
Qualcomm recently released the flagship 5G processor, Snapdragon 888 SoC. This chip will be targetting the Chinese market. Qualcomm even had to name this device “888” because the number is a “lucky number” in China. According to UniverseIce, the power consumption of the Snapdragon 888 processor is excellent. According to hi, the power consumption is comparable to the Snapdragon 835 SoC. Furthermore, he also claims that SD888 GPU performance exceeds expectations. Unfortunately, there are no specific figures to back up these claims.
Currently, Snapdragon 888 has been adopted by 14 mobile phone brands. This is obviously putting Taiwanese chipmaker, MediaTek, under pressure, and it has to respond. According to reports, during the IEEE Global Communications Conference, MediaTek CEO, Cai Lixing, revealed that the company’s latest 5G flagship chip will arrive before the Chinese New Year.
