Much has been said about the war of chips, semiconductors, crises and solutions. A bet from Intel in particular for all that has been said is MDI 2.0also something that we mention quite often and which now also teaches some secrets: preventive war and the arrival of plan B. No less than 1,900 million dollars ...
We are still waiting for the 5nm node to be standardized on PC, which is what we expect by 2022. TSMC cannot sit idly by and must have its 3nm node ready. Which will start mass-producing chips from the second half of 2022. We already know that the first customers will be both Apple and ...
As we know well from the number of topics we have covered in this regard, it is ASML that has the upper hand and the one that sets the pace for the industry. The complexity and advancement of its scanners are of such caliber that by a pure investment, no one envisages making them a ...
Oddly enough, Samsung and Micron currently have smartphones as their primary market, much more in the case of the former, as they also make their own high-performance SoCs. Getting the most DRAM with EUV is a huge blow to the loser, as there are a number of clear improvements that could tip the scales towards ...
The main question would be: why does the industry need EUV technology? Everyone migrates there, but the ordinary user doesn’t really understand what the benefits are. In short: costs, speed and scalability. Of the three, scalability is perhaps the most important as the costs and speed are not proportional and one will decrease and the ...
It is difficult to get an idea of the difficulty of developing EUV technology. To get a rough idea of what this important industry milestone means, we have to remember that its development started in 1997 and now, 23 years later, it is ready to be used on a larger or smaller scale. A simple ...
Is it possible and feasible today to reduce the size of transistors below the 3 nm mentioned? The industry is opening several fronts with ASML at the forefront, while many others wonder how we are going to create masks for such small wavelengths. What are the problems? New scanners, new resistance processes and masks with ...
Customers are in control. This is a saying that we have definitely heard more than once and in the chip field there is no difference. The findings provide the node with a series of yields and prices at each price, confirming delivery and depending on all this the customer decides whether to purchase. This is ...
AMD's roadmap for the coming years has made it clear that TSMC has been working hard not to offer Intel, where we have treated countless news about the 7nm lithographic and EUV process, also known as 7nm +. If we focus on the "old" roadmap of Zen construction for CPUs, we should go into 2017 ...
AMD is in great form, its financial results show this, its performance in the stock market is well under way and everything looks to be going well for Lisa Su. By 2020 they won't slow down the accelerator and warn: we will have a new product line for both the GPU and the CPU. AMD ...
