TSMC is the most "honey-rich" company! Bees love to settle in the factory, and honey is made into souvenirs.
TSMC is collaborating with beekeepers and schools to create souvenirs using honey produced by bees at TSMC's factories. These souvenirs are called "Ji Mi," a testament to TSMC's...
No I do not I think China will attack Taiwan directly. China may try to blockade the Taiwan Strait but it will fail and only strengthen the worlds resolve to keep Taiwan independent. TSMC really is holding a lot of cards in this game. How does China shut off 90% of the leading edge...
Even though Sam Altman told Pat Gelsinger that he sleeps fine after a similar questions during a fireside chat at the Intel event. :ROFLMAO: Maybe Sam should donate some of his billions to help with the homeless problem here in the bay area. With his billions he could make a very big dent...
Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te and Marek Zenisek, Czech Minister for Science, Research and Innovation pose for a group photo at an event ahead of SEMICON 2025
TAIPEI (Reuters) -As leading global semiconductor companies gathered in Taipei this week for the Semicon trade show to discuss the AI...
Was that ever the plan? I thought Natcast was overseeing the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) which is supposed to do U.S. semiconductor R&D, prototyping, and workforce development.
"Formal award (Jan 16, 2025): NIST issued Natcast a long-term award of up to $6.3 B to operate the...
The current administration is not a fan of the CHIPs Act so this is not a surprise. The NIST head, nominated by Joe Biden, stepped down at the end of last year and the new person Craig Burkhardt is a longtime GOP election-law attorney. Politics.
Custom silicon in support of both groups. So x86 related chips amongst others. I believe Intel already does this but it will be expanded. The b$10B Broadcom custom silicon deal is good incentive. I do worry that Intel is still following the puck rather than going to where it will be. Lip-Bu is...
Why do we need Natcast and NIST? Natcast is non-profit but how big is their payroll? Just what were the 100+ employees actually doing? I know Deirdre Hanford and you will never hear anything bad about her. She is a very ethical person but I still have questions. She was at Synopsys at its...
I agree 100%. Even the jobs that don't get eliminated, the employees will be much more productive which will send corporate profits higher than ever before. What took hours or days will take minutes and the quality of results will be better. Don't expect wages to increase or product prices to...
- Sam Altman said AI will take customer service jobs first, and programmers may be next.
- Altman warned that AI will compress centuries of job turnover into just a few years.
- Tech analysts are split: some see AI as a faster Industrial Revolution, others as a jobs apocalypse.

Developing a localized supply chain for advanced packaging equipment is critical for keeping pace with customers’ increasingly shrinking time-to-market cycles for new artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) said yesterday.

Autos are full of mature node semiconductors, with the exception on ADAS which does not have to be bleeding edge. This is a failure for the US-China relationship, absolutely.

SHANGHAI/MILAN (Reuters) -When Audi executives first saw the Zeekr 001 in 2021, a long-range electric vehicle with European aesthetics, it was a wake-up call for the premium German auto brand - if it wanted to compete with the Chinese, it...
18A is working for Intel products which do not use Synopsys IP. There are two parts to commercial IP, the NRE and the royalties. IP companies generally break even on the NRE but the royalties can be really profitable. No customers, no royalties, it can kill a company if they are all in.
