(TSMC) — the largest producer of semiconductors in the world — is investing $65 billion in Arizona for new chip manufacturing plants, as part of the Biden administrations’ CHIPS and Science Act. The Act also
To make sure you’re not confused, Nvidia designs the most advanced AI chips, but it does not manufacture them. Instead, it relies on TSMC to produce its cutting-edge chips, including the latest GPUs used for AI. With this context, yesterday brought important news. From The Wall Street Jo...
Large-scale cost reduction of semiconductor technology was helped along by the birth of the pure-play foundry model, pioneered by TSMC at its establishment 35 years ago. In this model, pure-play foundries operate semiconductor fabrication plants focused on producing ICs for other companies instead o...
Reiterating a need to return production to the United States, Trump mentioned Taiwan's holding of about 90% of the chip business, in reference to Apple chip partner TSMC. Believing TSMC already has billions and doesn't needfinancial incentiveslike the Chips Act, Trump instead offered that not...
How did the seven foundries perform in Q3, and what about their capacity utilization? TSMC In the third quarter, TSMC’s consolidated revenue was TWD 546.73 billion, approximately USD 1.731 billion, a YoY decrease of 10.8% but a QoQ increase of 13.7%. The net profit for the third quarter ...
1. Sam Altman’s plan for a $7 trillion-worth semiconductor empire includes building dozens of chip fabrication plants with money from Middle East investors, then having the Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC run them. (Wall Street Journal $) 2. A former TikTok executive is suing the company for unlawfu...
“reinvent the world” but to reinforce the Macintosh. He did not worry about being different for the sake of different; he wanted the Mac to be better, much better than the alternatives. The new operating system project Rhapsody, incorporating NeXT technology that would become Mac OS X, had...
ZYNQ ULTRASCALE MPSOC OFFERS PERFORMANCE/WATT ADVANTAGE OF OVER 5X While Xilinx could have implemented its second-generation All Programma- ble SoC in TSMC's 20nm process, the company chose to wait to implement the device in TSMC's 16nm FinFET process. The heterogeneous multipro- cessing ...
TSMC is our main manufacturing partner for advanced node technologies. And we’re plotting out far beyond the next few years. We’re really looking into the five-plus-year time frame of what we need to do. It is something that you learn. You learn how to partner well, and you learn ...
Then the thinking "if Nvidia and TSMC can do, we can do it better"... this is simply not true. Reactions: Daniel Nenni J jabo Member Dec 20, 2024 #5 Not understanding the comment about 18A being delayed. Did this happen? If so, when? My recolleciton is that Pat's plan all...
