Although Amazon is a online shopping platform, it has contributed to the hardware product, no matter what purpose, I deeply admire!
There are two examples, one is the e-book Kindle, which is launched by Amazon. In the end, there is a trend of changing people's reading habits, but also makes many domestic manufacturers to compete in the imitation; the second is the smart speakers of Amazon launched Echo, becoming the most Reviewed intelligent home voice interaction center. Therefore, many Internet giants believe that the voice interactive next wind, but also become a must-have of all major manufacturers, Last year, Google Home, this year, Apple pushed homepod, Today, Ali is also in the future. " At the new product launch, the smart speaker "Tmall Elf" has been introduced, known as the consumer-class artificial intelligence product (purpose: "手" becomes faster).

However, everything is in everyone to think of the voice interaction, Amazon is actually ready. Amazon Echo Show has appeared so, what is this? Want to "" hit the face of a smart speaker?
The first eye saw Echo Show is quite strange, like a tablet is not a tablet, like a speaker is not a speaker. But from its name, you can see some clues, "echo show", echo + show, echo everyone is still familiar, Amazon's voice speaker, how do you understand it? Add the SHOW function on the basis of voice speakers? Can video? Not only can you hear, can you still see?
Before the dismantling, you can learn about the internal basic construction, two speakers, a motherboard, and compared to the previous Amazon's Echo may see the only screen, which is the only screen with a touch screen.
With screen, interaction is more abundant, before the user with Alexa (voice assistant in echo) interacts, only vocabulary, now, now, various interaction content can be displayed directly on the screen (weather, menu, Photos, etc.), while also playing services provided by the Internet.
Furthermore, connect Echo Show to the smart home device in the family, which can be fully used as a smart home control center with display, such as connecting the camera, directly letting the home monitoring screen on the screen, a lot of interesting and useful features Can be gradually developed and implemented.
Although the surface seems to have only added a screen, it is believed that the hardware scheme has changed, then it is positioned to make most people compare the vague echo show, what changes in the hardware scheme or breakthrough? Two big speakers equipped from Echo Show can also see the power of the entire product is not very low, things are the case, the adapter is 15V @ 1.4a, 21W output.
The motherboard circuitry is basically covered in the shield, which effectively reduces various interference.
In fact, I saw that the echo show's program was shocked. This packaged processor trust everyone would not be too unfamiliar. Echo Show actually adopted Intel's platform solutions.
Intel Atom X5-Z8350 processor (2M Cache, Up to 1.92 GHz)

About ATOM X5-Z8350 processor evaluation
Atom X5-Z8350 processor is the latest 4-core processor manufactured by 14nm process in the first quarter of last year, mainly for mobile phones or tablets in the mobile market, can run Windows 10 system, full version. (The figure below is the hardware system block diagram of Atom X5-Z8350 processor)
The atom X5-Z8350 size is 17mm * 17mm, the processor's pulse frequency is 1.92GHz, with 2MB cache, integrated Intel HD Graphics 400 graphics processor, up to 1080P resolution.
Audio section
Amazon Echo Show has also increased the investment of hardware solutions in the audio section.
The chip in the red frame is a TPA3118 30W stereo Class-D audio amplifier for Texas instruments, and orange is Wolfson WM8904G audio card.
4 Texas instruments TLV320ADC3101 ADC, and the same as the Echo, and 8 microphones.
3 button switches.
Finally, a 500W pixel camera
The hardware block diagram of the entire Echo Show is approximately as follows, and the power part will be saved.
From Echo to Echo Show, this product update iteration added to the screen, camera, stronger processor, etc., interactive experience becomes more rich, what is it? In fact, if you have never used Echo as a smart speaker device, you will be positioned into a computing and information acquisition device. The iteration is also reasonable. The smart speaker is just the beginning of interaction, not ending, and We are also wrong, Amazon Echo never just a smart speaker.
Perhaps, Amazon wants to tell you that only voice interaction is the storm, and the video streaming media is also user needs. However, I always feel that I am not right, I am, carefully think, the whole echo show is not a tablet installed with a Alex voice assistant! ! !
