Microsoft is reportedly preparing Maia 300 for a September unveiling and is seeking TSMC capacity for more than 300,000 chips to be delivered in 2027, a scale that would turn its third-generation accelerator from a limited in-house experiment into a major Azure supply program. The Information...

TSMC is reportedly pulling its 3nm ramp forward to roughly 180,000 wafer starts a month at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2026, rather than at year-end, while the first building at its Taichung A14 site is expected to be structurally complete before April 2027. The first claim could...

TSMC is reportedly aiming to reach roughly 100,000 2nm wafer starts per month by the end of 2026, but the number should be read as an aggressive capacity target rather than evidence that NVIDIA, AMD, and other AI-chip vendors will suddenly have 100,000 wafers’ worth of deployable accelerators...

TSMC has committed another $100 billion to its Arizona buildout, a move that would raise its planned U.S. investment to $265 billion and add at least four fabs targeting 2-nanometer-class chips and beyond. For Windows PC buyers and enterprise IT teams, the immediate effect is not a cheaper...

The United States invented the semiconductor industry, but Taiwan now sits at the center of the supply chain producing the processors behind smartphones, PCs, cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence. A new Business Insider explainer published July 13 traces that reversal through...

TSMC’s advanced packaging capacity remains under pressure from AI and high-performance computing demand, with orders reportedly spilling over to Intel and Taiwanese outsourced semiconductor assembly and test firms. Wccftech, citing Commercial Times, says customers unable to secure enough CoWoS...

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s blunt framing of Taiwan and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as the indispensable backbone of the advanced AI chip supply chain cut through months of “reshoring” rhetoric and put a spotlight on a harsh reality: you can subsidize fabs, but you cannot...

The AI infrastructure era is consolidating around three firms that sit at the intersection of design, fabrication, and deployment: Nvidia for compute architectures and software stacks, TSMC for the advanced manufacturing that turns designs into reality, and Microsoft for the cloud fabric and...

The latest wave of technology earnings and regulatory developments is sending shockwaves across the AI industry, payments sector, and the wider tech ecosystem. As chip manufacturing giants like TSMC post results that echo the ongoing AI gold rush, software titans and ambitious startups grapple...

The partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft, once heralded as a model of collaboration in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, is now under significant strain. Recent reports indicate that OpenAI's executives have contemplated accusing Microsoft of anticompetitive behavior within their...

Chips and Checks: U.S. Semiconductor Boom and Jamaican Chess Breakthrough In a world where technological prowess and strategic brilliance both drive progress, two very different stories have unfolded—from the cutting-edge realm of semiconductor investments to the dynamic energy of a youth chess...

Gamers and video graphics enthusiasts should be excited about recent news that has been appearing about the AMD HD 7000 series of video cards, which as of now, still remain a mystery. The recent reports show photographs of the AMD Radeon HD 7900 “Tahiti” prototype, which would include 12...

A group of Taiwanese boffins claims to have successfully developed the world's first 16nm chip. National Nano Device Laboratories said it managed to create the first 16nm chip, but don't expect to see the tech in real products anytime soon. Yang Fu-liang, the lab's chief, told AFT that the...

The onward march of progress keeps moving forward and AMD, coupled with TSMC, have now produced the worlds first DX 11 parts in 40nm. Link Removed due to 404 Error Link Removed The last link contains demo's of DX 11 Tesselation..
