IBM unveiled a 7Å transistor architecture that uses staggered nanosheet transistors stacked on a precisely beveled angle, almost like tiles on a roof. That allows more transistors to be crammed into a given area, boosting performance by 50% or power efficiency by up to 70%. Perhaps even more important, IBM claims a 40% improvement in SRAM scaling, which is orders of magnitude faster and lower ... » read more

Global The U.S. created a licensing path for Nvidia H200 shipments in January and has since approved sales to 10 Chinese companies, but so far no shipments have been confirmed, reports Reuters. With a looming end-of-year expiration, SIA, SEMI, and other business groups are urging Congress to extend the US semiconductor tax credit and expand it to cover semiconductor design and other act... » read more

War impacts The Iran War's toll on the chip industry is widening. Over 95% of Taiwan's energy is imported, causing the country to secure alternative sources. Korea is also heavily dependent on energy imports from the Middle East. Shortages of key materials are cropping up everywhere. Helium from Qatar, the second largest producer behind the U.S., is constrained by hostilities in the Per... » read more

Think tank IAPS' report on AI integrity attacks contends that advanced AI systems must be protected from hidden tampering, backdoors, or unauthorized changes that could alter their behavior or outputs, especially when AI adoption is scaling rapidly, with over 60% of the federal workforce now using AI every day. Geopolitics The U.S. government has drafted new export rules that may give W... » read more

New Automotive Architectures Are Shaking Up Processor And Memory Choices
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways Assisted and autonomous driving require more data from more sensors, and much faster processing of some of that data. The shift to software-defined vehicles and centralized intelligence makes it easier to identify where the most advanced processors and memories are required, and where older and less expensive technologies can be deployed. Technologies that were largely ... » read more
