Motivation
When you enter “System on a Chip introduction” on Youtube, you will find that the most viewed chip introduction is “Teacher Li Yongle’s” in mandarin communities, with more than 3 million views. Most of the introductions are made by Chinese people. There are very few Taiwanese so-called “amateur” introductions.
For example, if you enter machine learning, you can find teacher Li Hongyi. For chips industry, we can at most see an introduction from Zhiqi77 (a Taiwan Youtuber), but it is just an introduction to semiconductors, and he can only be regarded as a “journalist”. My original intention was to make a Youtube, but to be honest, making videos is quite difficult and I couldn’t get started, so I decided to make it simpler with articles (but there are actually some articles by others around the same topic already).
Taiwan has such a huge influence on the chip industry, and things like SoC are so successful because they take advantage of advances in semiconductors. I hope that more people…
