Every year or a few years, we will replace new phones with new phones. Many people deal with old phones, which are to sell them to second-hand recycling platforms for hundreds of yuan, and some even sell them directly to scrap collectors for 10 yuan. However, for today's smartphones, this is undoubtedly a huge waste, because the chips in smartphones are extremely valuable. Although the phones have become old and the system has slowed down, the power of the chips is still strong. Although they cannot be compared with new flagship chips, they are completely outstripping many electronic product chips in terms of computing power and AI functions. So what is the function of such a chip? How valuable is it?

There is such a company from Chengdu's software park that successfully transformed the decency of second-hand mobile phones and used technical means to awaken the powerful computing power of mobile phone chip . The result was never expected that a computer equipped with a second-hand chip immediately turned into an edge computing device. The computing power of this device is very amazing. In fact, in the eyes of technical researchers, many outdated mobile phones have its valuable features, and the most valuable thing is the chip, because as one of the most important components in the mobile phone, the chip not only accounts for nearly half of the cost, but also is much stronger than other electronic devices in terms of performance, because only in this way can the mobile phone have a smoother experience, and can also run a large number of APP application software and games.

In addition, there is another capability hidden in the phone, and this capability is AI capability, such as face unlocking, body and shape, etc. This company not only transforms the idle mobile phone motherboard into a computer that is only the size of a palm, but also simulates a host for intelligent industrial inspection on the production assembly line. This also makes the value of second-hand mobile phones greater. At the same time, by connecting to industrial cameras for image acquisition, those flaws that are almost impossible to see with the naked eye can be easily circled out, and these high-definition images can also be enlarged and displayed on the computer screen. This is the call to the AI ​​capability in the chip, and the original mobile phone cannot do this. It can be said that the chip's functions are actually very powerful. The mobile phones we use have not even developed 99% of the AI ​​capabilities, which means that the value of the chip is much more valuable than imagined.

It is precisely because of this that second-hand mobile phone chips have more room to be reused. Devices transformed with second-hand chips not only have stronger performance, but also have AI computing functions. This will inevitably occupy a place for the future electronic consumer market. The reason why mobile phone chips are so strong is because the mobile phone consumer market is huge. Mobile phone manufacturers often carry more powerful and cutting-edge chips. Only in this way can they gain more market share. It is precisely because of this that the chip value of second-hand mobile phones will be so great. It can be said that as long as the hardware is not damaged, this chip can always maintain the same level as a brand new chip. This means that second-hand chips will become a key product to solve global chip shortage in the future.

We all know that the world is facing the current situation of chip shortage, especially the most serious chip shortage in the automotive industry. Some foreign manufacturers even purchase large quantities of washing machines, and then disassemble the chips in the washing machine and reuse them on their own products. Since as just mentioned, as long as the hardware of second-hand chips is not damaged, they can always maintain the same level as brand new chips. This means that this kind of chip can completely replace chip products of the same grade, and then there will be no more tension in chip production capacity. It is precisely because of this that the procurement cost of related equipment brought by global chip shortage has increased significantly, so many companies have the same idea, that is, to integrate idle mobile phone chips, which not only brings low-cost advantages, but also can obtain more powerful performance than before. This is undoubtedly a great thing for the current situation of global chip shortage.

At the same time, this means that although new products will be born in the future, the chips in the product may be second-hand chips. Despite this, we don’t have to worry, because as long as the chip hardware is not damaged, the old and new are actually meaningless to us. On the contrary, such products will inevitably be much cheaper in price. This means that this can not only solve the current situation of enterprise chip shortage, but also further improve product performance. The reduction of costs will also allow consumers to purchase higher-performance products at a lower price. Especially in the fields of education, community security, open kitchens and bright stoves, electronic teaching equipment with higher cost performance will be more popular. At the same time, as the security demand for face recognition and thermal imaging continues to increase, high-quality and low-priced security equipment is also promising in the market. So if you have an old phone in your hand, it would be a pity if you sell it, because the chip is much more valuable than you think. What do you think about this?
