Intel said its new fab in Licking County, Ohio will be delayed due to financial struggles and a need to align chip production with market demand, reported the Columbus Dispatch. Construction is now estimated to be completed in 2030, with operations to start in 2030 or 2031. The company said it already has invested $3.7 billion locally. Apple plans to invest more than $500 billion in the U.S... » read more

Research Bits: Feb. 25
By Jesse Allen - 25 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

Recording synaptic connections Researchers from Harvard University built a silicon chip capable of recording synaptic signals from a large number of neurons and used it to catalogue more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons. They hope the device is a step in creating a detailed synaptic connection map of the brain. The chip contains an array of 4,096 microhole elect... » read more

Memory Wall Problem Grows With LLMs
By Katherine Derbyshire - 20 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

The growing imbalance between the amount of data that needs to be processed to train large language models (LLMs) and the inability to move that data back and forth fast enough between memories and processors has set off a massive global search for a better and more energy- and cost-efficient solution. Much of this is evident in the numbers. The GPU market is forecast to reach $190 billion in ... » read more

The new Trump administration was quick to put a different stamp on the tech world: President Trump rescinded a long list of Biden’s executive orders, including those aimed at AI safety and the mandate for 50% EVs by 2030. Roughly 1.3 million EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2024, up 7.3% from 2023. The new administration announced $500 billion ($100 billion initially) in private sector in... » read more

Global IC Fabs And Facilities Report: 2024
By Liz Allan - 21 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

The chip industry made significant capital investments this year to build new fabs and facilities or expand existing premises. A number of sites were dedicated to SiC, GaN, DRAM, HBM, along with packaging and assembly by OSATs, and essential gases, chemicals, and other components. More than a dozen R&D centers were also established for 8-inch wafers, EUV, and advanced packaging. Investments... » read more
