Intel has already shared some details about the upcoming Arrow Lake-S platform. We know this hybrid architecture will use a new desktop socket (LGA1851), which should be based on the forthcoming Intel 20A process node. However, recent reports suggest that while some will be, others will use a different node. …

Recently, a data mining website that specialises in LinkedIn profiles of employees from semiconductor firms discovered that one of the profiles contains a list of five unreleased AMD codenames. Although most of them were already known, one is new. That's “Sound Wave”. According to Gamma0burst (via Wccftech), AMD plans to …

At launch, the RTX 40 series lacked compatibility with important technologies such as DisplayPort 2.1. On the other hand, AMD has already incorporated these standards into their RX 7000 series GPUs, giving the green team a bit of a bad image. With Nvidia's next generation gaming GPUs, however, Nvidia will …

It looks like TSMC will soon become the source of all major gaming GPUs. AMD and Nvidia already utilise TSMC's fabs and according to a recent report, Intel will soon do the same.  According to Taiwan's Commercial Times (via Tom's Hardware), the Battlemage GPUs from Intel will be manufactured by …

Earlier this week, a report citing supply chain sources claimed that Intel had deferred a chip order with TSMC, sparking rumours that upcoming products, like Arrow Lake processors, would be delayed. Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger, recently had the opportunity to refute that rumour directly.  As reported by Tom's Hardware, speaking …

Based on Intel's latest public roadmap, the blue team plans to launch the first 3nm-based Arrow Lake products sometime in 2024. However, a recent report suggests that might not be the case anymore, as the company has allegedly asked TSMC to defer its 3nm wafer orders to Q4 2024. Back …

Intel only just launched its 12th Gen Core processors a month ago, but we're already starting to hear rumours about the company's 14th Gen Core processors. Meteor Lake is expected to power Intel's 14th Gen Core processors and according to sources, Intel will be teaming up with TSMC to manufacture …

After launching the M1 and M1 Pro chips based on the 5nm process node, it seems Apple is now moving to newer process nodes. According to sources, Apple will be making the jump to 3nm for its second and third generation M-series processors over the next two years...

During its quarterly earnings call, TSMC gave an update on future process node technologies. As expected, it mentioned what advancements it has made in current and future process nodes. Besides the N7 and N5 nodes, TSMC also mentioned its N3 node and the enhanced version, the N3E. According to the …

During its annual Foundry Forum event, Samsung gave us an update on what's coming out of its foundries in the future. For starters, Samsung is set to begin producing 3nm chips in the first half of 2022, with second-gen 3nm chips coming in 2023. Moreover, it also stated that mass-production of …

We're still several years away from seeing the RDNA 4 graphics architecture in the flesh, but the first rumours about its specifications have already started to emerge. As it seems, AMD's upcoming architecture will use an MCM design based on two different process nodes. According to Twitter leaker, Greymon55, the …

We're still some ways off from seeing AMD launch its Zen 5 architecture, but nonetheless, the rumour mill is churning out some early information. Apparently, AMD's Zen 5 APUs, codenamed ‘Strix Point', will be based on 3nm process technology and feature the emerging hybrid core architecture.  According to MoePC (via …

Intel, Apple, Nvidia, AMD – just to mention a few companies – all have one thing in common, they all strive to reach smaller node sizes in their chips. The are numerous benefits, ranging from less power consumption, better performance, less heat and cheaper production costs. Much of the worlds …

TSMC has been in the news a fair bit recently, with updates regarding its process nodes advancements and financial investments. As reported by ChinaTimes, TSMC has over 50% yields on 5nm process node, outperforming the 7nm process back when it was at this stage. AMD, Apple and Huawei are expected to be …

After its previous $4 billion investment to meet the demand for 7nm and 5nm, there are reports of another $19.5 billion from TSMC to build a new 3nm factory in Taiwan by 2020.  TSMC has been one of the companies at the forefront of semiconductor manufacturing, investing in factories for its …

Intel Corp. predicts that Moore’s law will last for at least another decade and the number of transistors per chip will keep doubling every two years. While there are challenges ahead, Intel’s engineers are going to solve them. Later this month Moore’s law will hit 50 years, an unprecedented date for the …

We do not know exactly when companies like Intel Corp., Samsung Electronics or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. make their first chips using 7nm, 5nm, 3nm or 2nm process technologies. But we do know what should happen before leading semiconductor producers manufacture their new chips using ultra-thin process technologies: ASML should sell …

Although Intel Corp. imagines its future many years down the road and has a solid vision, it admits that going forward it will be much harder to achieve certain goals as manufacturing technologies get much more complex. Like other huge companies, Intel Corp. has big plans for the future. Recently …
