CES2021上演“芯片战”
今日主播孙昌岳说：
1月11至14日，国际消费电子展（CES）在线上拉开2021年科技界的序幕，除了机器人、可穿戴、未来电视等终端产品之外，核心的芯片厂商也亮出大招，展开新一代处理器的“军备竞赛”。
一边是英特尔推出了四大全新处理器家族，主要面向PC端的商用、教育、移动和游戏计算领域，还宣布在今年第一季度量产10纳米服务器处理器。另一边，AMD发布了新款锐龙5000系列处理器，据悉，搭载该芯片的笔记本一次充电后可运行长达21小时的电影播放。同时，英伟达也发布了三款电脑芯片，其安培架构开始进入移动领域。
作为全球最大的消费电子展会，CES被誉为科技行业的风向标。2021刚开年，芯片市场就已掀起风云。面对疫情下飙升的PC市场、急速变化的移动市场以及持续增长的数据中心、AI等市场，芯片巨头之间的竞争不仅将更加激烈，也将旷日持久。

电动“飞行汽车”初创企业Archer与菲亚特克莱斯勒展开合作
Electric ‘Flying Car’ Start-Up Archer Teams Up With Fiat Chrysler
据外媒报道，菲亚特克莱斯勒正与航空运输公司Archer合作，以帮助降低成本并加速推出一款电动“飞行汽车”，更正式的名称是垂直起降（eVTOL）飞机。
Fiat Chrysler is teaming up with air mobility company Archer to help lower costs and accelerate the launch of an electric “flying car,” more formally known as a vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
该合作将使总部位于加州的Archer公司获得菲亚特克莱斯勒低成本供应链、先进的复合材料能力，以及工程和设计方面的经验。
The deal will give California-based Archer access to Fiat Chrysler’s low-cost supply chain, advanced composite material capabilities, engineering and design experience.
与使用喷气发动机的传统飞机或带有大型旋转旋翼的直升机不同，eVTOL飞机使用电动马达为旋转机翼或更小的旋翼提供动力，几乎像无人机一样，允许垂直起降。
Unlike traditional planes that use jet engines or helicopters with a large spinning rotor, eVTOL aircraft use electric motors to power rotating wings or smaller rotors, almost like drones, to allow for vertical takeoffs and landings.
该飞机预计将作为“空中出租车”用于较短的低空航线，以缓解道路拥堵。其中一部分正在被开发成无需飞行员的无人驾驶飞机。
The aircraft are expected to be used as air taxis for shorter, low-level routes to ease road congestion. Some are being developed as unmanned aircraft without the need for pilots.
