TSMC's revenue for June 2026 set a new all-time high, driven by robust demand for AI-related advanced semiconductors. Quarterly revenue also grew sharply, up 36.0% year-on-year, and with supply constraints expected to persist through 2027, the company is accelerating capacity investments and next-generation process rollouts.
To correct drift in control parameters that occurs during quantum computation, a Google research team has developed a method that leverages quantum error correction detection signals for reinforcement learning. By using local error rates as a metric to autonomously adjust tens of thousands of parameters, continuous calibration becomes possible without ever halting computation.
A Korean research team has developed a technology that eliminates contact resistance at the junction with metal electrodes by forming continuous semimetallic and semiconducting regions within a single platinum diselenide thin film. Atomic-level observation proves the absence of electron traffic jams, contributing to lower power consumption in next-generation chips.
In September 2026, Mozilla will experiment with biweekly major updates for Firefox Desktop and Android. Here's a breakdown of how this differs from weekly minor updates and ESR, and what it means for enterprise deployments.
Databricks' internal benchmark revealed a cost reversal: Sonnet 5, despite its lower per-token price, cost more per task than Opus 4.8. We unpack the structure—driven by completion rates and harness selection—alongside Uber's budget overrun case.
Reports have surfaced that the Pixel 11's Tensor G6 will use TSMC's 2nm process. Drawing on clues about a 7-core CPU and a MediaTek-based modem, we examine how power might be allocated across the SoC as a whole.
Intel's space-oriented SoC "Starfire" targets up to 75 TOPS using 18A and Foveros, but radiation tolerance figures and spaceflight qualification remain undetermined. Judging its real capability will have to wait for Q3 2026 samples and test results.
Meta is expanding its Hyperion facility in Louisiana to over $50 billion and 5GW. Here's a breakdown of the investment structure that incorporates outside capital, the ten planned gas power plants, and the regulatory review over rate protections.
Intel is adding €5 billion in additional investment at Leixlip, Ireland. Combined with the $14.2 billion equity buyback three months earlier, roughly $19.9 billion is now concentrated there—while the new-fab plans in Germany and Poland have been completely scrapped. The reality of Intel's European strategy lies in "selection and concentration."
The Samsung-targeted 2nm design for Tesla's AI5 has reached tape-out. With production planned for 2027, the next checkpoints are prototyping, qualification, yield, and parity with the TSMC version.
