SK Keyfoundry is aggressively expanding into silicon carbide power semiconductors after acquiring SK Powertech. The company aims to launch 1200V SiC MOSFET processes by end of 2025 and establish a dedicated foundry business in first-half 2026. This push targets high-growth applications in electric v
Intel’s Panther Lake compute tile has been photographed in detail, showing the arrangement of Cougar Cove P-cores and Darkmont E-cores. This marks Intel’s first client product using their 18A manufacturing process. The chips are expected to launch as Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs at CES 2026.
Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2600 processor could deliver dramatically improved camera capabilities for the Galaxy S26 lineup. The information comes from internal documentation and conversations with Samsung engineers. The Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in February 2026.
Samsung has set an ambitious 2027 deadline to turn its foundry division profitable while targeting 20% market share. The company is banking on 2nm GAA production and major deals with Tesla and Qualcomm. But with quarterly losses estimated at $1-2 billion, the path forward looks challenging.
AMD has introduced a new Linux kernel driver called “versal-pci” specifically for their Embedded+ platform. This driver manages the connection between Ryzen Embedded processors and Versal AI Edge adaptive SoCs for industrial AI applications.
Intel Foundry engineers have published research on a disaggregated heat spreader approach that simplifies manufacturing for advanced packaging chips. The method reduces package warping by 30% and thermal interface material voids by 25%, enabling production of extra-large chips exceeding 7000 mm² tha
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 chipset is reportedly launching in Standard and Pro variants with different GPU specs and RAM support. This could create consumer confusion when Samsung implements its traditional chipset split strategy for the Galaxy S27 series. The Pro variant’s LPDDR6 support might c
AMD has surprisingly received U.S. export licenses for its China-specific Instinct MI308 AI chips. This comes as Nvidia continues facing delays and hostility from Chinese authorities over its Blackwell and H20 chips.
AMD just announced its Q3 2025 earnings with record $9.2 billion revenue, up 36% year-over-year. CEO Lisa Su confirmed the company’s next-generation 2nm EPYC Venice “Zen 6” CPUs and Instinct MI400 AI accelerators are on track for 2026 launch.
China is slashing electricity bills by up to 50% for tech companies using domestic AI chips. This strategic move aims to overcome the energy inefficiency of Chinese semiconductors compared to Nvidia’s banned technology.
