Samsung is partnering up with Ambarella, an AI semiconductor company, that will utilize Samsung's 5nm process chip technology for its latest AI based central domain controller chip.
Samsung Electronics today announced a new high-performance SSD with a next-generation 5nm controller. The new model can operate at speeds of up to 6000MB/s (read) and 5600MB/s (write).
TSMC, a contract chipmaker, reported that its November revenue totaled 222.71 billion Taiwan dollars ($7.27 billion), representing a 50.2% year-over-year increase with Apple being a major contributor.
TSMC will reportedly begin manufacturing 4nm chips along with 5nm chips at its Arizona fab by the end of 2024. Another fab capable of making 2nm chips is under construction nearby as well.
AMD has confirmed that the company's Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 graphics products are "on-track" for a 2022 arrival. The company declared its Q2 2021 earnings last night and it has done really well.
The world's largest contract chip manufacturer has announced the development of a new material that is more efficient than silicon and will one day enable the production of 1-nanometer chips.
The Taiwanese semiconductor company began its 26th Technology Symposium today by talking about its forthcoming processor technologies, and revealed that 3nm process nodes are coming in 2022.
Samsung has announced a new technology called eXtended-Cube (X-Cube) that will enable more performant and efficient devices. It said the technology unlocks next-gen applications like 5G.
A leaked roadmap suggests that Qualcomm could be readying a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 875G SoC built on Samsung 5nm EUV node. The roadmap also hints at the release timelines for some MediaTek SoCs.
Samsung has announced that it's expanding its foundry capacity by opening up a new line in Pyeongtaek, Korea. The hardware produced there will be used for 5G, HPC, and AI solutions.
7nm EUV production is slated for 2H-2018; 5nm and 4nm nodes are on track for production in 2019 and 2020. 3nm node is being developed using Gate-All-Around Field-Effect Transistor (GAAFET) technology.
