Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) reported quarterly revenue of roughly NT$1.05 trillion ($33.1 billion), beating analyst estimates. The strong performance, driven by demand for AI data center chips, reinforces optimism about continued tech investment through 2026.
Intel has officially launched its Panther Lake Core Ultra 3 mobile processors at CES 2026. Built on the new Intel 18A process, they promise massive performance uplifts and are the first chips designed and manufactured entirely in the US using this tech. Laptops are available for pre-order now, with
NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang isn’t ruling out selling future Blackwell and Rubin AI chips in China. The move depends on evolving U.S. export controls and the need to compete with local players like Huawei. It’s a high-stakes balancing act for the chip giant.
Intel just unveiled its Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” processors at CES 2026. The company claims massive leaps in power efficiency and AI performance, but the proof will be in the shipping products next year.
AMD is pushing new AI PC chips, but the developer community is showing what’s possible right now. AI agents are automating complex coding tasks in minutes, from games to home automation. This is a fundamental change in how software gets built.
Nvidia’s CEO announced the next-gen Vera Rubin AI chip platform is now in “full production.” The company claims it will slash AI running costs to one-tenth of its current Blackwell system. First chips are slated to reach customers like Microsoft later this year.
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
According to Windows Central, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Plus chip, launching in the first half of 2026, brings flagship-level AI and efficiency to mainstream laptops. With two versions (10-core and 6-core) and the same 80 TOPS NPU as the X2 Elite, it outperforms current Intel Core Ultra 2 chips in ke
Qualcomm is expanding its laptop chip lineup with new budget-friendly Snapdragon X2 Plus processors. They promise strong CPU performance and the same AI horsepower as the elite models, but gaming graphics remain a weak spot. The first laptops are due by the end of Q1 2026.
OpenAI is reorganizing its internal teams to improve audio AI accuracy, a key move ahead of a major hardware push. The company’s secretive “Gumdrop” project, designed with Jony Ive, is now likely moving from Luxshare to Foxconn with a firm “not in China” manufacturing mandate.
