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 […]

Investment bank Morgan Stanley believes that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will be able to expand its CoWoS chip packaging capacity a year ahead of schedule. TSMC was initially slated to grow its packaging capacity by 2026, but as per the bank, this has moved ahead by a year to 2025. Packaging demand has grown in the wake of the AI wave and has been one of the key constraints in the industry, which has ordered hundreds of thousands of GPUs primarily from NVIDIA Corporation. Morgan Stanley's optimism is also reflected in its share price target for TSMC, which […]
The A18 and A18 Pro are Apple’s two chipsets that are mass produced on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, which only means that sooner or later, the company will make a transition towards the 2nm technology. To prepare itself for the imminent switch, the Taiwanese semiconductor giant is reportedly prepping two fabrication plants, P1 and P2, on its home turf, with the end goal being to commence the installation of the necessary equipment. It has been reported that Apple will be the first customer of TSMC’s 2nm shipments, with both facilities said to produce a cumulative 40,000 monthly wafers once fully […]
The Tensor G4 found in all Pixel 9 models this year might be the last of its kind, as Google could very well be on its way to dropping Samsung as a foundry partner in favor of TSMC. The Mountain View giant has been reported on multiple occasions to be developing the Tensor G5 for its Pixel 10 lineup, and it will be mass produced on the Taiwanese semiconductor titan’s second-generation 3nm process. In addition, a new report claims that Google has plans to keep TSMC as a long-term partner, with its Tensor G6 supposedly leveraging the advanced 2nm process. […]
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is set to receive its first high NA EUV chip manufacturing machine from the Dutch firm ASML later this month, according to rumors swirling in Taiwan. High NA machines have been a source of controversy when it comes to TSMC, as after its management complained earlier this year that the equipment was pricey, it later decided to buy a scanner from ASML. These machines use different lenses than their EUV predecessors and enable crisper resolution of smaller circuits, which helps chip manufacturers make advanced and leading edge semiconductors. According to the details, TSMC's high […]
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 has been reported to be exclusively mass produced on TSMC’s 3nm process, with Samsung losing out on an opportunity of a lifetime because it could not increase chip yields. Sadly, relying on one foundry partner can result in a monumental price bump, and with Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship SoC rumored to cost $240 per unit, the San Diego firm needs to get another player into the fold to stabilize these figures. A new rumor is now doing the rounds, claiming that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is on track to use both TSMC’s N3P and Samsung’s […]
Apple has employed the use of TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process in the past, as the company’s M4 powering the new 13-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro models was mass produced on this technology. However, the company’s tablets barely contribute to the semiconductor giant’s revenue for this cutting-edge node, but that is where the iPhone 16 launch will come into play. It is reported that Apple will unveil the A18 and A18 Pro for its four models, and increased orders of these SoCs will partially contribute to TSMC’s 34 percent annual revenue boost. The remainder of that revenue bump will be thanks to […]
TSMC's vice president of pathfinding and corporate research, Dr. Min Cao, believes that the demand for artificial intelligence chips will push the global semiconductor industry's revenue to $1 trillion in 2030. Dr. Cao made the remarks in Taipei, Taiwan, during the IMEC's ITF Taiwan technology forum. During his talk, the TSMC executive shared that since his firm was set up in 1987, a new wave of technology has emerged every decade or so. These waves, which cover personal computers, smartphones and automobiles have increased the revenue base. According to him, the latest technology wave is for artificial intelligence chips, which […]
TSMC plans to introduce next-gen CoW-SoW (System-on-Wafer) advanced packaging technology by 2027, enabling the development of gigantic chips. TSMC Plans To Lead The Future of Packaging Technology Through CoW-SoW, Allowing Development Of Huge AI & Data Center Chips With the demands of the AI industry rapidly evolving, the need for innovation in the supply chain is now more desperate than ever, which is why companies like TSMC are in pursuit of integrating new technologies into existing products. Ctee is now reporting that the Taiwan giant plans to develop a new "CoW-SoW" advanced packaging technology, which is said to stack memory […]
China's domestic chips have evolved rapidly, and a new analysis shows that the country is only three years behind TSMC in achieving semiconductor equivalence. China's Semiconductor Markets Have Evolved Massively After US Sanctions, Likely To Achieve Global Competitiveness Soon It won't be wrong to admit that after the US sanctions, the growth experienced by Chinese semiconductor firms was at a new level, especially since the "Made in China" narrative took a new turn, involving every giant firm to ensure that they achieve self-production lines. A great example of this is Huawei. Even after the US made every attempt to hinder […]
Glass substrates have become the topic of buzz in the semiconductor markets, as a new report shows that TSMC and Intel are looking to expand their R&D efforts aggressively with NVIDIA also prioritizing the use of the technology in future chips. Mainstream Chipmakers Are Now Involved In The "Glass Substrate" Race, Prompting Taiwanese Suppliers To Leverage The Hype, NVIDIA Also Plans To Leverage Glass Substrate Technology For Future Chips With the AI markets rapidly expanding, the need for innovative technologies has grown massively, especially to continue the process of upgrades in generational performance. Firms like NVIDIA have utilized techniques such […]
Samsung Foundry has surpassed its competitors, TSMC & Intel, in the semiconductor space as the Korean giant reported quarterly revenue. Samsung Foundry Business Shows A Massive Uptrend In Past Quarters, Narrowing Down The Gap With TSMC Samsung's slight lead in semiconductor quarterly market revenue is as surprising as it may seem, given that for the past few months, we haven't seen much in terms of a breakthrough for the Korean giant's foundry division. Despite that, the firm seems to have managed to bag higher revenue than competitors like TSMC and Intel. This news comes from the renowned industry analyst Dan […]
TSMC's 3nm & 5nm processes are expected to bag in a whopping NT $1 trillion in revenue for the Taiwan giant, exceeding industry expectations. TSMC's Dominance Is Evident In Modern-Day Markets As The Firm Manages To Grab A Large Share Of Industry Demand for its 3nm and 5nm Process Nodes Well, there's no denying that TSMC has been leading in the industry in terms of the adoption of its processes and the revenue the Taiwan giant has been gaining in the past few quarters. With the AI hype kicking in and companies such as Apple preparing its next-gen lineup of […]
