GlobalFoundries to expand U.S. semiconductors operations.

No, A16 is not delayed, says TSMC.

N2P IP is ready, all customers can now design 2nm chips, says TSMC.

Google just can’t seem to get tablets right.

SK hynix finally announces production of the world's highest-layer NAND flash to date.

Will that be extra CPUs sold, or will it come at the expense of AMD and Intel?

Spilled some tea on my keyboard today. Didn't think much of it it's just tea right? My A key started to get sticky. I tore down the keyboard, and found some water damage on the a and s keys.

The s key is still springy, and responds. But it has a blue green hue on the metal contact in the photo.

The a key still works, but is very soggy, and requires greater depression than before.

This is a kinesis gaming RGB keyboard. All of the switches are attached to a metal plate, so to replace a single switch I think I have to unsolder all of the switches so I can get the metal plate off. It's an interesting design

For the moment, I cleaned up 6 years of filth and dirt from the keyboard. Looks pretty clean now from my estimation. For the key itself, I got as much stuff out of it as possible. I soaked the a and s keys in 99% alcohol. And then smash the keys over and over and over and over and over again. Trying to wash the keys from the inside. Right now I have a fan pointed directly at the keys, trying to finish the dry out.

Anybody else have success in rescuing a cherry MX key switch? I'm not opposed to soldering on new key switches, but I don't want to have to solder 28 keys just to reach one

Purported poor 7nm yields add fuel to the fire.

As established players shift to DDR5 and HBM3, CXMT and Fujian Jinhua offer huge discounts.

Will growing local sales compensate for its inability to produce cutting-edge chips?

Qualcomm's Arm-based chips are skipping the second generation for PC users

Dominating!

Now we want to see MadEDoctor do the same trick, but with 16GB of LPDDR4X

75 times faster than hyperscaler GPUs, Cerebras says.

Super tiny and super functional!

AMDomination.

And that's not even the fully decked-out configuration.

It’s going to cost you a small fortune, though.

It's time to say goodbye.

Aiming for a capacity of 370,000 wafer starts per mont by 2027.

The site will build chips on TSMC's A16 (1.6nm-class) and N2 (2nm-class) process technologies

The Taiwanese army removed the 'unexploded ordnance' and it has been stored for future disposal.

Lots of work to do for Qualcomm, but you gotta start somewhere.

Until when Donald Trump takes office.

It won’t be fast, but it’ll exist, and that might be enough for now.
