TSMC Brings Packaging Center Stage with Silicon

The worldwide TSMC 2025 Technology Symposium recently kicked off with the first event in Santa Clara, California. These events typically focus on TSMC’s process technology and vast ecosystem. These items were certainly a focus for this year’s event as well. But there is now an additional item that shares the spotlight – packaging… Read More

TSMC Advanced Tecnology RoadMap 2025 SemiWiki

At the pre-conference briefing, Dr. Kevin Zhang gave quite a few of us media types an overview of what will be highlighted at the 2025 TSMC Technical Symposium here in Silicon Valley. Since most of the semiconductor media are not local this was a very nice thing to do. I will be at the conference and will write more tomorrow after the … Read More

Lip Bu Tan was appointed chief executive officer of Intel Corpor

Great news last week as Intel fills the CEO slot for the 9th time in 56 years with industry legend Lip-Bu Tan. From what I hear, Intel employees, and the entire industry for that matter, are overjoyed. I’m sure there are one or two competing companies that are concerned but overall it is an absolute love fest.

If you look at education… Read More

Common Platform Alliance

When I do a root cause analysis of Intel’s problem it is very simple. If Intel wants to continue to be a leading-edge semiconductor manufacturer, they need to fill their fabs, all of their fabs. Clearly several things need to happen in order to do that but the one that most interests me is on the foundry side.

I think we can all agree that… Read More

Intel BSPD Power Via

One of the most enduring threads in the SemiWiki forum is What would you do if you are the Intel CEO? There are currently 128 responses and more than 45,000 views. It was originally posted March 13th, 2015, after Brain Krzanich was given the CEO position. A different time for sure but an interesting read and the responses keep on coming.… Read More
