Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

NVIDIA's Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress has once again teased a potential partnership with Intel Foundry Services for next-gen chip production. NVIDIA Calls TSMC A Great Partner, Samsung Still In Use To This Day & Intel A Potential "Third" Foundry Partner During the most recent UBS Global Technology Conference, NVIDIA's CFO was asked if they would consider going to Intel as a Foundry partner for the production of their next-gen chips. To this, the CFO showed very positive remarks based on their statement. The bulk of NVIDIA's Data Center GPUs for AI/HPC and Gaming chips are currently being produced by […]
Qualcomm is scheduled to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 next year, with an earlier report stating that instead of switching to a dual-sourcing strategy where the SoC would be mass produced by both Samsung and TSMC, all orders will be given to the Taiwanese firm. There are several reasons for this, with one of them being that Samsung was not aggressive with its 3nm chip production push, forcing Qualcomm to source them from a single foundry for next year. In short, the San Diego’s dual-sourcing strategy will have to wait another year. A dual-sourcing strategy would have meant lowered […]
Samsung has reportedly lost out on a grand opportunity to partner with Qualcomm to mass produce its next flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, to TSMC. The Taiwanese semiconductor giant will utilize its 3nm ‘N3E’ technology next year, with other companies such as MediaTek also expected to take advantage of this manufacturing process. Qualcomm was previously said to adopt a dual-sourcing strategy for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 to lower its production costs TSMC is aggressively pushing its 3nm process for 2024, with the pricey N3B node adopted by Apple for its A17 Pro and M3. The manufacturer will […]
Santa Clara, California-based semiconductor designer NVIDIA Corporation will be the biggest chip company in the world in 2023, according to the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) chairman, Dr. Mark Liu. NVIDIA was the darling of Wall Street in 2023 as investors rushed to pile in the shares after the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022. NVIDIA's shares provided the investors some respite from the stock market devastation due to high interest rates, and the firm kept up with the hype as its latest quarterly earnings report reported 3x annual revenue growth. TSMC Chairman Says Company Is Aware Of Customer […]
TSMC only had one customer for its 3nm ‘N3B’ process, which was Apple, but in 2024, a new report states that the semiconductor manufacturer is expected to witness a double-digit increase in revenue for this category as it aims to add more partners for its long-supported cutting-edge node. With this growth, the company’s 3nm wafer production is also said to reach 100,000 monthly units by the end of next year. Qualcomm, MediaTek, Apple, and others will reportedly adopt TSMC’s new 3nm ‘N3E’ process, contributing to the manufacturer’s revenue Alongside mass producing wafers to be used by various chipset makers, China […]
After a year-long slump that has seen its revenue drop annually for most of the year, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is slated to post strong first-quarter results next year, according to estimates from analysts. TSMC is the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, and the firm caters to the needs of big-ticket firms such as NVIDIA Corporation and Apple Inc. Demand for its products has been slow this year as the chip industry digests inventory ordered through optimistic forecasts. However, recent trends have indicated that the supply glut is clearing up, and more orders from its biggest customers can […]
The Tensor G3 found in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro has so far disappointed when compared to its competition, making it imperative for Google to switch over to a fully custom solution to rival Apple’s A-series and the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Unfortunately, it will take some time for the rumored Tensor G5 to arrive, but according to the latest update, it will be mass produced on TSMC’s N3E process, the same one used to fabricate next-generation SoCs for Qualcomm and MediaTek. Tensor G4 may not utilize any TSMC node due to high costs; Google is likely […]
Samsung is readying its own chip packaging solution to rival TSMC's CoWoS which is reportedly going to be called SAINT.
