Elon Musk Needs to Put His Fab Money Where his Mouth is!

Elon Musk Needs to Put His Fab Money Where his Mouth is!
by Daniel Nenni on 04-24-2026 at 6:00 am

Terafab Elon Musk Lip Bu Tan Intel

To me this is going to be one of the bigger Chicken Little moments in the history of semiconductors. Mostly because we are now a click driven society and the media is plagued by so called influencers that live and die by clicks. In my 40+ years as a semiconductor professional I have witnessed many of these Chicken Little moments with … Read More


Two Paths for AI in Semiconductor Manufacturing: Platform Integration vs. Point Solutions

Two Paths for AI in Semiconductor Manufacturing: Platform Integration vs. Point Solutions
by Kalar Rajendiran on 04-23-2026 at 10:00 am

Looking Forward Slide

 

Semiconductor manufacturing has become one of the most data-intensive industrial environments in the world, and AI is rapidly becoming central to how fabs operate and optimize. Yet, rather than converging on a single model for AI adoption, the industry is evolving along two distinct paths. One centered on platform-scale… Read More

Carbon in the Age of AI Chips

Stephen Russell: Senior Technical Fellow, TechInsights

Every April, Earth Day prompts a flurry of corporate sustainability pledges and green-tinted press releases. But for the semiconductor industry in 2026, the conversation has moved well past pledges. Carbon accountability is now a procurement requirement, a regulatory… Read More

Semiconductor Revenue $1T Accelleration

Yes, it is that time of year again, the 2026 TSMC Technology Symposium kick-off event in Silicon Valley. TSMC has never been in a better position to forecast the future of semiconductor technology and the industry itself. TSMC closely collaborates with the top semiconductor companies around the world and the top players in the … Read More

The Pan Am–Boeing playbook and what Musk’s Terafab order could mean for Intel Foundry

“We either build the Terafab or we don’t have the chips.” That’s Elon Musk, speaking to Reuters, stating a supply constraint as plainly as anyone has stated one. TSMC is sold out. Samsung is committed. The existing supply chain can’t expand fast… Read More


Disaggregating LLM Inference: Inside the SambaNova Intel Heterogeneous Compute Blueprint

Disaggregating LLM Inference: Inside the SambaNova Intel Heterogeneous Compute Blueprint
by Daniel Nenni on 04-19-2026 at 2:00 pm

Intel Sambanova SemiWiki Graphic

SambaNova Systems and Intel have introduced a blueprint for heterogeneous inference that reflects a significant shift in how modern large language model (LLM) workloads are deployed. Instead of relying on a single accelerator type, the proposed architecture assigns different phases of inference to specialized hardware:… Read More

Elon Musk Terafab 2026

The opening of the TSMC 2026 earning call series brought no surprises. CC Wei has done more than 30 such calls since taking the CEO position in 2018 and he never fails to disappoint. Once again, CC Wei reported numbers above guidance driven by strong demand and flawless execution. This illustrates the benefit of TSMC’s close collaborations… Read More

Uncle Sam (2)

Everyone has been treating Intel as a turnaround story. What if it’s not a scheduled airline — but a charter, and Musk is the one filing the flight plan? Not just Tesla. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Oracle are all designing their own silicon now, and their AI infrastructure depends on it. And yet they remain dependent… Read More

Intel, Musk, and the Tweet That Launched a 1000 Ships on a Becalmed Sea
Why do professional executives running major corporations frame a major moment in their company’s history with a tweet? Jerry Sanders spent his career yelling “real men have fabs!” Now Intel has fabs–and apparently tweets about … Read More


Agentic AI Demands More Than GPUs

Agentic AI Demands More Than GPUs
by Daniel Nenni on 04-08-2026 at 8:00 am

Agentic AI Requires More CPUs

Agentic AI workloads are reshaping the compute requirements of modern data center infrastructure by shifting performance bottlenecks from GPU-centric inference to CPU-heavy orchestration and workflow management. Traditional AI inference pipelines relied primarily on GPUs performing a single forward pass, where input… Read More
