China’s memory chip makers may be looking beyond their traditional strongholds. According to Reuters, sources say CXMT is preparing to enter the fast-growing NAND flash market, putting the DRAM maker in competition with both global leaders such as Samsung Electronics and domestic rival YMTC. Notab...

China is exploring new ways to advance its chipmaking capabilities despite limited access to EUV lithography. According to Wccftech, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has reportedly developed a new gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architecture that could provide a pathway toward 3nm-equivalent p...

Rising foundry costs could soon ripple through AMD’s product lineup. According to TechPowerUp, citing sources from ChannelGate, the chipmaker is reportedly preparing price increases as silicon costs rise. With much of its silicon manufactured by TSMC, AMD is expected to pass some of the higher...

As tight supply and soaring costs put HBM under growing pressure, the AI boom is opening the door to alternative memory technologies, with CXL (Compute Express Link) emerging as a key contender. Yet rather than replacing HBM, CXL may be better positioned to complement it, according to Chosun Biz and...

Smartphone workloads are becoming increasingly demanding, pushing Apple to rethink how it manages heat and sustained performance. According to Zhu Shi’s column on TechNews, a closer look at the iPhone 18 Pro’s thermal design suggests Apple is taking an increasingly pragmatic approach to cooling....
