– AMAT has OK Q but horrible guide as China & Leading edge drop
– China finally chokes on indigestion & export issues -$500M hit
– TSMC trims on fab timing causing leading edge to slow -$500M hit
– Cycle which had slowed to single digits has rolled over to negative

AMAT guides down for big miss on Q4

Samtec cable management SemiWiki

According to a recent Samtec whitepaper, in high-data-rate (HDR) architectures, where signals traverse tens to hundreds of gigabits per second, “cable management” isn’t a housekeeping chore, it’s a first-order design variable. The mechanical path a cable takes directly influences channel loss, crosstalk, reliability,

Is a Semiconductor Equipment Pause Coming?

Is a Semiconductor Equipment Pause Coming?
by Robert Maire on 08-03-2025 at 10:00 am

John Maire SemiWiki

– Lam put up good numbers but H2 outlook was flat with unknown 2026
– China remains high & exposed at 35% of biz while US is a measly 6%
– Unclear if this is peak, pause, digestion, technology or normal cycle
– Coupled with ASML soft outlook & stock run ups means profit taking

Nice quarter but expected

Architecting Your Next SoC: Join the Live Discussion on Tradeoffs, IP, and Ecosystem Realities
by Daniel Nenni on 07-31-2025 at 8:00 am

sqr 1

Designing a system-on-chip (SoC) has never been more complex—or more critical. With accelerating demands across AI, automotive, and high-performance compute applications, today’s SoC architects face a series of high-stakes tradeoffs from the very beginning. Decisions made during the earliest phases of design—regarding… Read More


How Channel Operating Margin (COM) Came to be and Why It Endures

How Channel Operating Margin (COM) Came to be and Why It Endures
by Admin on 07-30-2025 at 10:00 am

Samtec Eye Diagram

According to a recent whitepaper by Samtec, Channel Operating Margin (COM) didn’t start as an algorithm; it started as a truce. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, interconnect designers and SerDes architects were speaking past each other. The former optimized insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk against frequency-domain… Read More
