TSMC also has DTCO for N3 and N2 which customers are now using so the PPA deltas will be more:
At the 3nm node, DTCO improvements from 5nm can result in ~25% area reduction for logic circuits, as seen with TSMC's N3 process.
At 2nm and beyond, advanced DTCO techniques (e.g., CFETs and hybrid...
NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang (middle, front row) hosted a banquet for supply chain executives at a well-known Taiwanese restaurant in Taipei at noon on the 18th, including TSMC Chairman Wei Zhejia (2nd row, 4th from right) and Hon Hai Chairman Liu Yangwei (2nd row, 5th from right) , Quanta Chairman...
I see zero possibility of that happening. Was Jensen's jet at Mar-a-Lago? :ROFLMAO:
GTC 2025 should be very entertaining this year. Nvidia really is crushing it.

Most of the grant funding for U.S. President Joe Biden's ambitious Chips and Science Act has been awarded, and the initiative has spurred more than $400 billion in planned company investments. But much of the job remains unfinished — and broader upheaval in the chip industry will only add to the...

The Netherlands has once again tightened export controls to ensure that ASML will have to apply for export licenses with the Dutch government instead of the U.S. These new rules will come into effect on April 1st and is seemingly The Hague’s response to the updated list of...
Key Points
- TSMC has been promised $6.6 billion under the Biden-administration’s CHIPS and Science ACT to help build three cutting-edge chip fabrication plants in Arizona.
- President-elect Donald Trump has accused Taiwan of “stealing” U.S. chip business.
- Speaking to CNBC, TSMC CFO Wendell...
No problems reported at the TSMC fab in Japan which was completed in less than 2 years? Let's see what Dresden does. Either way TSMC clearly was not fully prepared to build a fab in the US, learning from their mistakes. TSMC, however, is a very quick learner, absolutely.
Some companies play...
Some analysts are saying that American support for Taiwan could be conditional under next president Donald Trump, and that he could use Taiwan as a bargaining chip. What does a second Trump term mean for Taiwan, especially with a Republican-controlled Congress...
Interesting, I told ChatGPT that Morris did not have an MBA and he had a PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford. Is it really that easy?
ChatGPT says I do not have an MBA but I do. I told it I have a PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford, let's see what it says tomorrow. :ROFLMAO:
I hate ChatGPT:
Does Morris Chang have an MBA?
Yes, Morris Chang, the founder of TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), has an MBA. He earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from Stanford University in 1964. In addition to his MBA, he also holds a Bachelor of...
I really have mixed feelings about this. CC Wei has a very good sense of humor but sometimes it does not translate well. "I had a lot of snot and tears!?!?!? :ROFLMAO: CC Wei is also a great negotiator so this could be part of the speech as well, to get better responses from AZ politicians and...
Musk actually did an investor takeover of sorts with Tesla and the founders were none to pleased. Would Tesla have been as successful without Musk? Probably not. But it was not a turn-around type of deal that Intel is. Could Musk be brokering a deal for Trump? Certainly possible.
The other...
I do not consider Intel 3 and 4 to be separate nodes, nor do I consider Intel 20 and 18A to be separate nodes. I also feel Intel 10 is not to be celebrated, it was a disaster. If you look back at the Intel Tick-Tock strategy it was a corporate strategy that we all respected. I have discussed the...
Morris Change has an MBA from Harvard I believe? I just hope they hire from outside. Someone with foundry experience.
I thought Kevin O’Buckley had this job? Maybe this person reports to Kevin?
Yes, I understand this but I am also talking about focus. Intel needs to focus and distractions such as MobilEye and Altera are not helping, my opinion. I did not mean to say that Intel should sell fabs, packaging, and real estate. That was what AMD needed to do. Intel needs to build competitive...
Yes, but ChatGPT proves me wrong yet again: :ROFLMAO:
Pat Gelsinger, who served as Intel's CEO from February 2021 to December 2024, is known for his devout Christian faith. During his tenure, he advocated for creating inclusive environments that respect and accommodate various religious...
