A new European project is tackling the high cost and environmental impact of advanced semiconductors. By reusing rare materials, it hopes to make sub-THz technology viable for mass markets.
The long-awaited Lisuan G100 GPUs have started shipping to Chinese customers. Initial shipments are for professional “digital twin” use, but the 7G106 model is a gaming-focused card that could hit retail by early 2026.
AMD’s next-gen Zen 6 CPU architecture has appeared in a developer document. It shows a shift to an 8-wide instruction dispatch and new 512-bit vector support. This points to major performance gains for parallel and AI workloads.
Nvidia has stopped a test using Intel’s advanced chip packaging technology. In a separate blow to Silicon Valley, a federal judge ruled a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications can proceed.
A new 15-year semiconductor technology roadmap predicts we’ll see 0.2nm chips and monolithic 3D structuring by 2040. The forecast also includes radical improvements for memory and AI processor performance.
Intel has revealed a conceptual but highly ambitious chip packaging design. It showcases a future platform that could integrate up to 16 compute tiles and 24 HBM memory stacks, leveraging its next-gen 18A and 14A process nodes alongside advanced Foveros 3D and EMIB-T technologies. This is a clear sh
Kanto-PPC’s U.S. arm is building a major chemical manufacturing campus in Casa Grande, Arizona. The facility is a direct play to supply the massive new fabs being built by TSMC, Intel, and Micron with high-purity materials.
South Korean prosecutors have charged former Samsung employees with leaking billion-dollar 10nm DRAM technology to China’s CXMT. The leaks, involving hundreds of process steps, helped China produce its first mass-market DRAM in 2023. The estimated damage runs into trillions of won.
Intel’s next-next-gen Xe4 “Druid” graphics architecture has been spotted in a data center shipping manifest. This is surprising, as it’s been absent from roadmaps and was only expected inside future CPUs. The find suggests Intel is cooking up more GPU projects than it’s publicly admitting.
2025 saw Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, leverage the company’s AI chip dominance into direct geopolitical influence, advising President Trump on export policy. The company also committed a staggering $100 billion to OpenAI and other firms, fueling debates about an AI investment bubble. We break down th
