Exciting news from Intel!
Intel puts 1 nm on roadmap for 2027
Intel's previously-unannounced Intel 10A (analogous to 1nm) will enter production/development in late 2027, marking the arrival of the company's first 1nm node, and its 14A (1.4nm) node will enter production in 2026. The company is...
I believe any chance of Taiwan agreeing to unify with China sailed out after the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests. The methods and ways which the CCP took control and ended much of the freedoms and rights of the people in Hong Kong horrified Taiwan (and much of the Western World).
Xi Jingping did...
Posting for the first time in a long time since many users of SemiWiki are so smart and insightful with their posts/opinions...it's hard for a non-semi professional to add something of value. 😅
I'm personally a fairly skeptical about this rumor but I didn't see it mentioned here but thought it...
Well...then I'm going to contradict myself and post this article as well regarding Nvidia potentially using Intel Foundry:
"You know that we also manufacture with Samsung, and we're open to manufacturing with Intel. Pat [Gelsinger] has said in the past that we're evaluating the process, and we...
Seems like Intel Foundry is hitting a few bumps on the road. Qualcomm and Tesla have backed away at least temporary:
“We didn’t get into this mud hole because everything was going great,” said Gelsinger, who took over as CEO in 2021. “We had some serious issues in terms of leadership, people...
I'm a bit shocked at the price tag...but the Korean resolve/desire to obtain leadership in critical technologies (display, semiconductor, batteries) is impressive...
Given how divided, dysfunctional and petty Washington is these days, I wouldn't hold my breath on a CHIPS Act 2 or CHIPS Act 3 anytime soon...much to Pat's chagrin. I mean the Senate just recently blocked the PACT Act and it previously enjoyed wide-spread bipartisan support. :rolleyes:
Peter Wennink, ASML CEO, made that statement BEFORE Intel announced their 'IDM 2.0' strategy although I personally doubt the market can support five players. The reason is that only a few large companies (like Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia and AMD) will be able to afford
1. TSMC - Although they've...
It looks like TSMC will be investing some of their money in mature and specialty nodes after all. The article states that they will expand their capacity by 50% by 2025 and will be intensifying their competition against GlobalFoundries, UMC and SMIC...
To summarize a Washington Post article (paywall)...
There is strong support in Congress for the semiconductor subsidies, and for increased spending on the National Science Foundation and other research efforts, but agreement breaks down over other policies.

Eric Schmidt (ex-CEO of Google) and Graham Allison (Harvard professor of government) wrote a commentary in the WSJ arguing that American national security is at risk if it is completely dependent on Taiwan for advanced semiconductors. You can read their arguments in the link below...
TSMC executives stated on Thursday that they will have ASML's "high-NA EUV" chipmaking tool in 2024.

EE Times reports that TSMC has now publicly confirmed that they will be using nanosheets at 2nm starting in 2025. They also gave a quick preview of TSMC roadmap for the next few years as well as provide some color on the competitive foundry market.

Bloomberg reports (link below...apologies paywalled) A senior Chinese economist at a CCP-run research group has called on the government to seize TSMC if the US hits China with sanctions like those leveled against Russia.

According to Tip3X (a small website I've never heard previously of), TSMC Chairman Mark Liu hinted that TSMC would start cooperating with Micron in the field of logic and memory chips.

Perhaps that's...
TSMC actually recently approved of an employee stock purchase plan that subsidizes employee purchases of TSMC stock by 15%. Employees of TSMC and its fully owned subsidiaries would be allowed to allocate 15-20% of their monthly salaries for stock purchases. This plan will take effect in August...
Thanks for the pictures of the signatures, VCT. Is it me or are there a few names that seem to repeat?
That said I hope ARM will NOT transfer access to the ARMv9 or any additional ARM IP to ARM China given the lack of cooperation from Chinese authorities. Or perhaps they can start a new...
It's expected that much of that money will go towards mergers and acquisitions. Samsung recently hired BoA investment banker Marco Chisari whose specialty is M&A in the semiconductor sector as the head of Samsung Strategy and Innovation Center. The Korea Times indicated that Samsung...
Apparently the labor shortage at Intel is so severe that they're willing to rehire workers they previously laid off...
