The Trump administration has approved Nvidia to export more advanced AI chips to China, reversing earlier restrictions. This decision comes despite pressure from a group of senators last month to maintain a hardline stance.
In a major policy shift, former President Trump says he will allow Nvidia to sell its H200 AI chips to “approved customers” in China. The move is framed as supporting U.S. jobs but raises immediate national security questions.
The US is backing a Moroccan company’s plan to build an $870 million factory to produce polysilicon, a key material for semiconductors and solar panels. This move is part of a broader strategy to find alternatives to Chinese sources for critical tech components.
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.
