A new report says Johny Srouji, Apple’s SVP of Hardware Technologies, is seriously considering leaving the company. He’s the mastermind behind the M1 chip and Apple’s in-house modems, making his potential exit a critical moment for Apple’s future.
MosChip Technologies is supporting the silicon implementation of EMASS’s new RISC-V based ECS-DoT Edge AI SoC. The chip targets a massive 93% performance boost and 90% lower energy use for always-on AI in drones and wearables.
According to analysts, Intel’s upcoming 14A process node is “the real deal.” However, its current cutting-edge 18A node, while praised, has yet to secure major external customers. CEO Pat Gelsinger is reportedly betting the company’s future on 14A’s success.
Europe is launching a major push to stay in the cutting-edge chip race. The NanoIC pilot line, a consortium led by Belgian research giant imec, aims to create a world-class facility for developing semiconductor technologies beyond the 2nm node. It’s a key part of the European Chips Act strategy to b
The massive demand for AI data center chips is creating bottlenecks across the electronics supply chain. Analysts warn this could lead to component shortages and price increases for consumer devices like smartphones.
Intel might return to Apple laptops as a foundry partner rather than CPU designer. The shift would affect only entry-level M-series chips, with production potentially starting in 2027. High-end Apple Silicon would remain with TSMC.
Intel could return to Apple devices by 2027, but not as a CPU supplier. Instead, the company would manufacture Apple’s own M-series chips using its advanced 18AP process technology.
Nexperia’s Dutch unit has taken the extraordinary step of publishing an open letter to its Chinese leadership, warning that customers face “imminent production outages.” The public plea comes after repeated private attempts to resolve supply chain issues failed to get “any meaningful response.”
Baidu is emerging as a major AI chip player in China through its Kunlunxin subsidiary. The company has laid out a five-year roadmap starting with M100 chips in 2026 and projects massive growth as US restrictions block Nvidia’s top products from the Chinese market.
Intel’s CEO has publicly defended the hiring of former TSMC executive Wei-Jen Lo, calling TSMC’s lawsuit alleging potential technology transfer completely unfounded. The executive previously spent 18 years at Intel before joining TSMC, creating a complex employment history. This marks the first time
