According to a report in the Taiwanese press, Taiwan's contract chip manufacturer TSMC turned down NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's request to set up a dedicated packaging manufacturing line for NVIDIA's products. Along with semiconductor fabrication, chip packaging has become an equally important part of the industry's rush to ship thousands of. AI chips worldwide. However, unlike fabrication capacity, packaging has struggled to meet the elevated demand for chips, making TSMC, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, dedicate considerable resources towards it. TSMC's latest earnings call also focused on packaging, with the firm choosing to redefine its market to add the […]

Igor's Lab has conducted an in-depth test across various GPUs and their thermal compounds, pointing out that it's the poor thermal paste quality that leads to higher temperatures after a certain period. Several "Premium Priced" GPUs Come Applied With Poor Quality Thermal Paste Leading To Drastic Rise In Temperatures After A Certain Period of Time In a new find, it is confirmed that the real reason for the incredibly high temperature of modern-day GPUs is due to the usage of poor quality thermal paste by the AIBs. Thanks to Igor's Lab, the culprit behind the common problem many GPUs were […]
Reports regarding Intel's 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability are extending to laptops as well but the blue team says they are not the same issue as the desktop chips.
