Knowledge of the technology, characteristics, and market trends of the latest CPUs used in smartphones, computers, and supercomputers and the research trends of leading US university experts gives an edge to policy-makers, business executives, large investors, etc. To this end, we describe three topics in detail at a level that can help educate the non-majors to the extent possible. Topic 1 comprises the design and manufacture of a CPU and the technology and trends of the smartphone SoC. Topic 2 comprises the technology and trends of the x86 CPU and supercomputer, and Topic 3 involves an optical network chip that has the potential to emerge as a major semiconductor chip. We also describe three techniques and experiments that can be used to implement the optical network chip.

The purpose of the current study was to examine dual mediation effect of executive function deficiencies and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relation of smartphone addiction and subjective well-being and to suggest implications for adult smartphone addiction intervention programs. A self-report survey was conducted to 148 adults(71 males and 77 females) and the mediation effect was evaluated by regression analyses. Key findings are as follows. First, executive function deficiencies showed mediation effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

This study aims to verify the influence of married men in their 30s and 40s on smartphone addiction, the mediating effect of depression, and the moderating effect according to age. To this end, samples were set up as a convenient sampling for married men in their 30s and 40s living in the Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon metropolitan. To verify the influence relationship, mediating effect, and moderation effect of the main variables, we compare the differences in influence by dividing age groups through spss win 25 program Baron & Kenny's analysis, Sobel test, and multi-regression analysis. The analysis results are as follows. First, stress has a positive effect on depression and smartphone addiction, and depression has a positive effect on smartphone addiction. Second, depression has been shown to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between stress and smartphone addiction. Third, there was a difference in influence between stress and smartphone addiction depending on age groups.

The purpose of study is to advance current smartphone research past the limitation it faces being focused primarily on functional performance and to understand the causes of Smartphone diffusion. In order to do this, the dominant design concept was applied in examining the relationship between the determinants of the dominant design and the acceptance of smartphones. The research has yielded results which show that determinants such as technological superiority, number of installed based products, and availability of complementary goods have a positive effect on the intention to use smartphones and the attitude toward its use. Moreover, this study has contributed in broadening the understanding of dominant design by introducing the central concepts of dominant design which are not being dealt with in domestic studies and presenting the major variables which must be considered in the acceptance of smartphones.

The proposed scheme using the number of triangular fuzzy information about the state of the personal information and business intelligence to implement a pair-wise comparison matrix. In particular, the proposed scheme is to prevent the value obtained by constructing a pair-wise comparison matrix for personal information and business intelligence and pair your smartphone is lost when a third party not allow access to personal information and corporate information is leaked to the outside.
