According to a new report, China has built a working prototype of an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and is already testing it. This is a monumental, if early, step in the country’s quest to build advanced chips without foreign tools.
Samsung has unveiled the Exynos 2600, the world’s first smartphone chip built on a 2nm process. It promises major leaps in AI performance and introduces a novel thermal solution. The chip is slated to power the Galaxy S26 series, expected in February 2026.
Samsung has unveiled the Exynos 2600, the world’s first 2nm smartphone chip. It introduces a Heat Path Block (HPB) for better cooling and ditches the integrated modem to reduce heat. The goal is to end the throttling issues that plagued past Exynos chips.
According to a new report, China has developed a functional prototype of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine. The massive device, reportedly spearheaded by Huawei, is undergoing testing and uses a different technical approach than ASML’s dominant systems.
India’s CDAC has launched the DHRUV64, a 1GHz dual-core processor built on the RISC-V architecture. It’s a leap from the country’s 2020-era 100MHz chips, but built on older 28nm tech. More powerful quad-core models are promised for the future.
An internal analysis from memory giant SK Hynix projects that “commodity” DRAM supply for mainstream PCs will lag behind demand through 2028. The company and its peers are prioritizing high-margin AI server memory, leaving the consumer market in a prolonged crunch. This means high prices and limited
Nvidia is pushing back on explosive allegations that Chinese AI firm DeepSeek trained its models on smuggled, top-tier Blackwell GPUs. The claims highlight the intense cat-and-mouse game between U.S. export controls and a thriving chip black market, with Nvidia now rolling out new tech to track its
Intel is taking a major step toward acquiring AI chip startup SambaNova Systems. The non-binding agreement comes as Intel pushes hard into AI to catch up with rivals like Nvidia.
In a major policy shift, the Trump administration will permit NVIDIA to sell its high-end H200 AI chips to vetted customers in China, subject to a 25% tariff. The deal excludes its latest Blackwell and upcoming Rubin architectures and extends to other US chipmakers like AMD and Intel. The move is al
In a major shift, Micron is exiting its Crucial consumer memory business to prioritize AI and data center chips. The brand will ship products until the end of February 2026. This move comes as AI demand causes severe memory shortages and price spikes.
