全球5G商转进展可期，许多国家在今年就已经看到5G上路，但是5G对于人类的生活将有什麽改变呢？
率先看到的就是5G智能手机，但除此之外，未来还有什么可能性呢？
很多人说，8K电视将是在智能手机之后，第二个有感的5G应用，而且明年东京奥运登场，也将採采用8K讯号转播赛事，可望带来新一波商机。
要预知未来5G时代的样貌，从芯片设计厂商的设计开发可以窥见一二。
而到底未来有没有5G之后杀手级的新应用呢？
也是产业持续关注的焦点。
Chip design revolution 1: Edge computing on the device side
随著5G、AI来临，所有设备跟计算能力大改变，改变计算架构，到终端装置到云端都不同。
芯片设计将有技术上的变革，像是AI边缘运算将进入终端设备，让资料进入装置后，不用再上传云端进行分析运算，而是在设备端就能运算，大幅降低运算时间，也增加安全性。
For example, in the 4G era, voice recognition needs to be noticeable.
Industry insiders believe that in the 5G era, it will take about 1 to 2 seconds to transmit, upload, analyze, and respond to the cloud, but 5G can significantly reduce latency, and users' data bandwidth is getting higher and higher, so IoT devices can be used to implement more and more devices, such as home monitoring, voice assistants, etc., leaving more room for imagination.
Change 2 in chip design: Re-examining the importance of security
Because the Internet of Everything has also made the industry re-examine the importance of information security, chip design manufacturers have added concepts such as security encryption into their designs to make data transmission safer.
Security will be built into IoT devices, and the data inside will be protected by corresponding keys, and it is emphasized that data will be encrypted when sent to the cloud. Therefore, security is not just in the chip, but data can also be protected when it is transmitted to the cloud.
Industry insiders believe that it is actually very expensive for general companies to invest in cybersecurity, especially for chip manufacturers who want to win overseas bids and need to pay special attention to cybersecurity issues. Therefore, whether it is initial investment or even subsequent maintenance, long-term resources are required, or through ARM, system integrators, etc., to assist in completing relevant specifications.
The market is also optimistic about adding networking functions to chips. The so-called i-SIM or e-SIM is one of the solutions, integrating more components into the system-on-chip (SoC). In the future, the SIM card of existing mobile phones may be transformed into an i-SIM and placed in the mobile phone SoC. Whether it is placed in a mobile phone or other IoT device, it can be more secure and hidden than the existing physical SIM card, and it can also reduce power consumption and cost.
Industry insiders explained that i-SIM puts the networking function into the SoC, which will greatly reduce chip costs, and the prices of terminal devices will also drop, giving IoT devices an opportunity to increase penetration.
8K TV, the second device that makes 5G feel real
从终端装置来看，在5G商转之后，除了率先看到智能手机将有5G的版本，第二个有感的终端装置就是电视了，将在5G之后，迎接8K电视的世代，使用者将明显提升收视体验。
如果家裡已经装了一台8K电视，但电视讯号最多就是FHD，现在透过芯片演算法，就轻易就能看到8K的影像画质。
Industry insiders analyzed that many TV main chip manufacturers are currently doing SoC chip factories, such as Novatek and Realtek, which have developed the next generation of chips for 8K usage scenarios, natively support 8K signals, and add many neural network accelerators to enhance the user experience.
However, before 8K signals became popular, signals at home were mostly FHD or HD. After the signal was transmitted, the resolution could be improved through machine learning algorithms. By adding another chip next to the 4K main chip, FHD or HD could also present image quality similar to 8K.
Through algorithms, we can easily experience the 8K experience that will be brought by the arrival of the 5G era.
When "real 5G" arrives, it will also bring "real 8K". In addition to TVs, there will be more IoT devices that will change our lives in the future. Chip design technology will also be the key to the specific implementation of 5G, and it is also the direction that manufacturers will continue to move forward, looking forward to creating new business opportunities in the 5G era.
Senior executives of ARM's Internet of Things business believe that in the era after 5G or IoT, there is no single killer application yet, but what is certain is that more data will be collected, which will change many industries, such as medical care, public utilities, logistics, smart grids, etc. in rural areas, which can all improve user experience through big data analysis.
现在，已经有许多厂商投入在IoT装置当中，像是智能冰箱、智能电视等，但目前市场受限于频宽侷限，渗透率较难明显提升，市场看好，5G之后，物联网装置将与生活更为紧密，可望为相关厂商带来新一波营运动能。
