In chip design, two fundamental elements have a direct effect on chip performance, power and performance. On the one hand, we find the same architecture of the chip and on the other hand the number of transistors which fit on it. On this quantity of transistors, TSMC has some very good news for the M2 ...
In the coming years, the N5 node of Asia’s largest foundry will become the most important manufacturing node in the coming years. Well, through an analysis of one of the chips already made using said manufacturing process, it was discovered that TSMC’s 5nm node density is lower than expected. Is this bad news or a ...
We have read actively and passively according to leakers that NVIDIA and AMD will compete with the same weapons in the new generation of graphics cards. That the fight will be over other key aspects and therefore the better architecture will win, but… It seems that it won’t, since NVIDIA and TSMC they have a ...
Recent news about Samsung foundries or chip factories has lately been in negative hyperbole. And it is that not so long ago we learned that the South Korean multinational had falsified the performance of its 5nm, 4nm and 3m processes. The results? The abandonment of some of its key customers, such as Qualcomm, which ended ...
The word chiplet seemed ridiculous a few years ago, but today it has become a safe future. In particular because it leads to a reduction in costs and breaks with the limitations of the monolithic system in terms of cost and size. It is therefore quite normal that the industry ends up developing a universal ...
In the iPhone 13, Apple has already improved the autonomy of the entire range. Now it looks like the company wants to repeat the game on the iPhone 14. An improvement that is directly linked to Samsung’s discontinuation of 5G chips to continue using those of TSMC, better optimized and with lower consumption. A smaller, ...
The latest news has made us a little optimistic that the crisis in the semiconductor industry may come to an end at some point this year. It is not that we are going to contradict these statements, but thanks to new information, we have a better overview of what is happening and we can have ...
Apple already gave Intel an ultimatum over 3 years ago, after which it launched a joint project that would lead to ARM-based SoCs that surprised locals and outsiders alike. It is true that Intel was late, but Apple was not patient and preferred to make its own SoC which would destroy Intel’s hopes of keeping ...
Intel plans to continue improving the performance of its processors and find a way to compete with Apple Silicon, but it looks like the company wants to do so in a respectful tone. How? ‘Or’ What? Try to ensure that your intentions to work with TSMC does not mean compromising Apple’s production schedule. Let’s all ...
In just over a year and a half, there have been two pretty big hits for the industry that will completely change it to the point where the first-gen Ryzen architecture changed it. And it is that efficiency is now going to be the big trigger for the future of processors. Qualcomm knows this and ...
