Weebit Nano is at the Epicenter of the ReRAM Revolution

It’s well known that flash is the embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) incumbent technology. As with many technologies, flash is bumping into limits such as power consumption, speed, endurance and cost. It is also not scalable below 28nm. This presents problems for applications such as AI inference engines that require embedded… Read More

AMAT Underwhelms- China & GM & ICAP Headwinds- AI is only Driver- Slow Recovery

AMAT Underwhelms- China & GM & ICAP Headwinds- AI is only Driver- Slow Recovery
by Robert Maire on 08-19-2024 at 6:00 am

One Trick Pony
  • AMAT reports good but underwhelming quarter
  • China slowing creates revenue & GM headwinds- ICAPs weak
  • AI remains the one and only bright spot in both foundry & memory
  • Cyclical recovery remains slow – Single digit Y/Y growth
OK quarter – still slow growing, revs up only 5% Y/Y

AMAT came in at revenues of $6.78B… Read More
