Samsung Electronics Foundry (semiconductor contract manufacturing) has received an order for 8nm (nanometer, one billionth of a meter) automotive semiconductors from Hyundai Motor Company, a domestic automaker, and is preparing for full-scale mass production. However, the industry's anticipated...
This chip was taped out domestically earlier this year, following the US-imposed ban last year on GPUs being made by TSMC and Samsung.
Xiangdixian had positioned itself at the beginning of the year as a domestic GPU manufacturer: https://www.xdxct.com/newinfo/188

The Chinese Fuxi A0 GPU is based on a 5nm Imagination DXD Graphics IP, offering Ray Tracing & Super...
I just reviewed with ChatGPT. Four transistors for cross-coupled inverter is stabler against transistor variation and leakage, while two access transistors provide better margins.
TSMC introduced a 38.1Mb/mm2 SRAM in 2nm-CMOS-nanosheet technology for high-density and energy-efficient compute applications. The design uses a 0.021um2 high-density bitcell, and through DTCO improves the overall SRAM density by 1.1× compared to the previous technology node...

Winbond Electronics, a global leader in semiconductor memory solutions, today announced the launch of its new 8Gb DDR4 DRAM, powered by Winbond's advanced 16nm process technology, providing higher speed, lower power consumption, and more cost-effective solutions for...
Interesting story from his perspective here: https://semiwiki.com/podcast/podcast-ep153-suk-lees-journey-to-intel-foundry-services-with-a-look-to-the-future/ I assume he had TSMC's blessing to go over to Intel.
During those years, TSMC and Intel were not direct competitors, since Intel did not have IFS and Intel also made its own processors (no chiplets then). From 7nm onwards, they were closer to competing since AMD became a TSMC customer, but by then, Intel and TSMC were already on different paths...
Why's everyone bringing this to country level? It's IP issue between company and ex-employee, could happen anywhere, and internationally recognized everywhere. If TSMC were wrong, WJL could counter-sue.
Chinese memory chip manufacturer Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) officially released its latest generation of DDR5 and LPDDR5X products. In response, South Korean media outlet Business Korea pointed out that the technological gap between China and South Korea in the memory chip field is...
Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong are also sites for Samsung Foundry. I had understood DRAM to share with the EUV lines there? They could have expanded DRAM and foundry in that case, if not just DRAM alone.
I don't understand why there would be a good reason to cut down the NAND at the same time...
Hyperscalers and server manufacturers are ordering too many memory components for their AI infrastructures - more than the market can produce. As a result, prices are rocketing, and a shortage could last until 2027

On Wednesday afternoon investigators, acting on a search warrant, searched two of Lo's homes, seizing computers, USB drives and other evidence, prosecutors said.
A court also approved a petition to seize his shares and real estate, the statement added...
