For Intel, the PC processor market is no longer their main focus. After all, it's a declining sector with limited profitability, which has forced the company to make bold moves into new areas like autonomous driving. This shift reflects a strategic realignment as they seek growth in more promising markets.
According to BusinessKorea, Samsung Electronics is set to overtake Intel this year, becoming the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer. With a 15% market share and revenue reaching $65.6 billion—up from $44.3 billion last year—Samsung is making significant strides in the industry.
This development is a major blow for Intel, who have long dominated the semiconductor space. Since 1993, the company held the top position for decades, but now they face fierce competition from Samsung and other players. The gap is widening, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for Intel to reclaim its former dominance.
This year, Samsung poured $26 billion into semiconductor manufacturing facilities, accounting for 29% of global investment in the sector. Their commitment continues to grow, while SK Hynix is also rising rapidly, jumping to third place with $26.2 billion in annual revenue. Micron Technology took fourth place with $23.4 billion in sales, while Broadcom and Qualcomm dropped to fifth and sixth, respectively.
The rise of Samsung and SK Hynix can be attributed to the booming global demand for storage semiconductors. With a surge in demand for server and smartphone memory, the DRAM and NAND flash markets are expected to see sales jump by 55% and 35%, respectively, compared to the previous year.
As the semiconductor landscape evolves, companies that adapt quickly and invest heavily will continue to gain ground. For Intel, the challenge ahead is clear: they need to innovate and diversify if they want to remain relevant in an industry that’s changing at a rapid pace.
24HR Electronic timer socket with photocell.
â‘ Light intensity setting
â‘¡ Light intensity detection
â‘¢ Countdown Timer ON & OFF
â‘£ 4 MODES:
Set > Detected: When the light intensity detection value is less than the set value, switch ON or OFF.
Detected > Set: When the light intensity detection value is greater than the set value, switch ON or OFF
ON : Always ON
OFF : Always OFF
NOTED:
1. The light intensity displayed by this machine is not the standard light intensity value (Lux), only the relative light intensity value.
2. The light intensity value is affected by the placement position and direction. Please determine the position first and then set it according to the actual light intensity detected. If you change the position or change the orientation, you need to reset the light intensity setting value suitable for the new position.
3. This product has built-in rechargeable battery. If it is not connected to AC for a long time, you need to connect the power supply to charge until the LCD can display normally.
MANUAL OPERATION
1. Press [UP" or [DOWN" to set the LUX value.
2. Press the [SET" key to start setting, and the P1 settable items will be flashed.
3. Press [UP" or [DOWN" to adjust the value.
4. Press [SET" key again to exit setting or enter next setting for countdown timer.
5. Repeat the [SET" key to start setting, and the P2 & P3 settable items will be flashed.
6. Press the [FUN" key to switch the working state in the following:
Set > Detected -> Detected > Set -> ON -> OFF
Set > Detected: Automatically switches when the detected ambient light intensity is darker than the set value
Detected >Set: Automatically switch when the detected ambient light intensity is brighter than the set value
When the brightness meets the setting conditions, the countdown starts as below:
Note:when the countdown is ON, the detected value is not displayed.
When the brightness does not meet the setting conditions, the countdown stops and waits:
After the countdown ON is reduced to 0, the countdown OFF starts immediately and the power is OFF.
After the countdown OFF is reduced to 0:
A. If the light intensity meets the set conditions, a new round of countdown will be started;
B. If the light intensity does not meet the set conditions, keep the power off and wait for the light to meet the conditions before turning on automatically.
NOTE:
1. If the power is cut off while the countdown is running, the countdown will be terminated immediately and the relay output will be off. After the power is turned on again, a new round of brightness detection will start.
2. Modifying the brightness value in the countdown operation will not affect the current countdown operation. After the off time of the current countdown, the new brightness setting value will take effect.
3. In the countdown on operation, change the setting value of the countdown on, this countdown will still be timed according to the original setting value; the new setting value will take effect when the next countdown on starts.
4. In the countdown off operation, change the setting value of countdown off, this countdown will still be timed according to the original setting value; the new setting value will take effect when the next countdown off is started.
NOTE: the brightness setting value, countdown ON or countdown OFF, any one of which is equal to 0, cannot be switched ON or OFF automatically.
Manual Control
When ON or OFF is displayed, it means that the power supply remains ON or OFF, as shown in the figure below:
Power Detection and Standby Mode
With AC power supply, the icon 
lights up and works normally.
When there is no AC power supply, the icon goes out, the brightness is not detected at this time, and the system enters the standby mode.
