TSMC is planning a shockingly fast ramp for its next-generation 2nm chip process. The company reportedly aims to hit a monthly output of 140,000 wafers by the end of 2026, just one year after mass production begins. This aggressive move is driven by huge orders from Apple and skyrocketing demand for
Chinese Premier Li Qiang concluded a three-day tour of Guangdong province, visiting industrial giants like BYD and Midea. He emphasized the need to expand imports for balanced trade and boost support for technological breakthroughs.
The push for more efficient power delivery is driving a major shift from traditional 12V systems to 48V architectures. This change is critical for robotics, automation, and even AI data centers. The move offers big gains but comes with new engineering challenges.
A massive manufacturing buildout is underway, with nearly $2 billion in new investments from giants like Hitachi and Siemens. Yet lead times for large units remain over two years, and a broker claims the “shortage” is exaggerated. So what’s really going on?
In a major cost-cutting move, Samsung’s phone division is demanding flexible OLED panels at rigid OLED prices from its own display unit. This could lead to Samsung sourcing screens from Chinese manufacturers for mid-range phones like the rumored Galaxy A57 as soon as 2027.
Samsung’s ambitious 20,000mAh battery project has hit a wall. The company is now reportedly shifting its focus to more manageable 6,000-8,000mAh silicon-carbon cells after facing significant technical hurdles.
To power AI data centers, developers are buying hundreds of on-site generators. Caterpillar is capitalizing big time, with its power segment sales up 28% this year. But is this a sustainable boom or a bubble waiting to pop?
In a temporary relief move, the U.S. government has approved Samsung Electronics to bring chip manufacturing tools into its Chinese facilities for 2026. This establishes a new annual license system, replacing broader waivers that expire on December 31.
TSMC is accelerating its U.S. expansion plans. The chipmaker could begin mass-producing 3nm semiconductors at its Arizona fab in 2027, nearly a year earlier than expected, according to a new report.
