Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed in a podcast that his company has overtaken Apple as TSMC's biggest customer, once again becoming its top client after more than 20 years.
Bechtel, the contractor behind Intel's ambitious Ohio One chip factory, has posted new job listings on its website with an overview mentioning Phase 1 of the project. These recruits will be responsible for accelerating construction to make the factory ready for its opening in 2030, after the last few months turned Intel's fate around.
As AI accelerators and HPC devices grow larger and more complex, advanced chip design continues to move away from the transistor and toward the package.
China’s two largest pure-play foundries, SMIC and Hua Hong Semiconductor, are in the middle of significant consolidation efforts that demonstrate how industrial policy is reshaping the country’s chip sector.
The U.S. Department of Commerce didn't renew the validated end-user status of these chipmakers, requiring them to acquire annual licenses to import chipmaking tools containing U.S. tech into their Chinese fabs.
Huawei used its New Year message to highlight progress across its Ascend AI and Kunpeng CPU ecosystems, pointing to the rollout of Atlas 900 supernodes and rapid growth in domestic developer adoption as “a solid foundation for computing.”
British startup Space Forge has just successfully turned on its first in-orbit furnace, reaching 1,000 degrees Celsius in space. This is a crucial first step for the company in studying the feasibility of manufacturing chips in space.
Beijing says that the Netherlands is not taking steps to resolve the Nexperia issue, thus extending the chip shortage affecting automotive makers across the globe.
China has quietly mandated that at least 50% of equipment used for new semiconductor capacity be domestically sourced. However, as China's industry cannot produce enough lithography tools, authorities tend to get flexible and allow foreign alternatives in.
Yesterday, the ground shook off the coast of Taiwan, slamming the country with the strongest earthquake in 27 years. The seismic wave registered 7.0 in Taiwan's scales, or 6.6 to 6.7 according to the USGS standard. Thankfully, according to reports, TSMC's factories are all intact, saving the world from yet another spike in chip prices.
Nexperia’s China unit is moving to line up new wafer suppliers over the next six to nine months amid a deepening legal and operational dispute with its Dutch parent company.
Intel Foundry has released a video of a multi-chiplet 2.5D/3D processor with a 10,296 mm^2 silicon footprint, including leading-edge technologies such as 14A and 18A.
The adjustment comes as China’s largest foundry runs near full utilization and faces sustained demand from domestic customers building inventories of memory and logic chips.
Samsung has announced its own SOCAMM2 LPDDR5-based memory module designed specifically for AI data center platforms, pitching it as as a way to bring the power efficiency and bandwidth advantages of LPDDR5X into servers.
