China no longer depends on Dutch or US tech

Huawei is now able to create chips using extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) which means that it finally has a foot in the door of serious chip development.

Having a party today 

TSMC is flinging a party today to celebrate the opening of its 3nm semiconductor production. 

Chip price hikes expected

TSMC's SRAM Scaling has slowed tremendously and while new fabrication nodes are expected to increase performance, cut down power consumption, and increase transistor density prices are likely to rise.

Will be opened in 2024

TSMC has promised it will make 4nm chips at its semiconductor fab in Arizona, when it opens in 2024.

TSMC will increase its prices and laugh all the way to the bank

The next generation of chips made with TSMC's new tech will be much more pricy and this cost will be passed on to consumers.

Turns out it is sticking to the Far East after all

While the Tame Apple Press was singing how wonderful it was that Apple was going to be making its chips in America again, it turns out that they were just peddling marketing.

Steve Jobs spins in an unmarked grave

The fruity cargo cult Apple is so strapped for chips that it is thinking of having them made in the US.

ARM Cortex-X3 prime core and Immortalis G715 GPU with hardware ray tracing

MediaTek has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone SoC, the Dimensity 9200. Built on TSMC 4nm (N4P) manufacturing process, this is also the first SoC to feature the ARM Cortex-X3 core based on ARMv9 architecture, as well as the new Immortalis-G715 GPU with hardware-based ray tracing.

Spending $2.38 billion on research

Japan is spending $2.38 billion to build the joint research hub with the US on 2nm process technology.

And then Tsar Putin invaded Ukraine

Russian chip maker Baikal Electronics was halfway to having an SoC series from eight cores to 48 before Tsar Putin invaded Ukraine and crippled the entire industry.
