At the recent Omdia Korea Display Conference, Ming-Jong Jou, Chief of the Technology Planning Center, talked more about CSOT (TCL's manufacturing arm) and its inkjet-printed OLED technology.

Theoretically bananas bandwidth, but not terribly practical for gaming.

According to data from a credible source cited by Notebookcheck, Google's own projections reveal how the Tensor G5 and G6 will measure up against flagship processors from competitors like Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple. The publication notes that these forecasts consider anticipated performance improvements from companies such as Qualcomm, which is expected to introduce new Nuvia cores with a substantial boost in capability.

DNA storage moves ever closer to fruition

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London and Paragraf Limited have demonstrated a significant step forward in the development of graphene-based memristors and unlocking their potential for use in future computing systems and artificial intelligence (AI).

TSMC will soon have a fully operational fab in Arizona that delivers the same quality and efficiency as its Taiwan factories.

Fast RAM for Intel's next-gen desktop chips.

According to Android Authority, the Tensor G5 – codenamed "Laguna" – will feature the Arm Cortex-X4 CPU architecture, similar to the Pixel 9's Tensor G4 but with a different core configuration. While the G4 has a 1+3+4 setup comprised of one prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores, the G5 is expected to adopt a 1+5+2 layout with one Cortex-X4 prime core, five Cortex-A725 performance cores, and two Cortex-A520 efficiency cores.

Let him cook, chat.

Buckle up because AMD doesn't seem to want to make understanding its Ryzen Z2 processors easy.

According to a report by the Korean Maeil Business Newspaper, a senior Intel executive recently requested a high-level summit between the company and Samsung. The goal is for Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger to meet directly with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong to discuss comprehensive cooperation plans merging their foundry operations.

RX 7800M-powered devices have already eclipsed the futuristic Radeon RX 7600M XT graphics dock.

PCIe Gen 4x4 drive is suitable for laptops, desktops, as well as consoles.

Depending on the workload and utilization rate, of course.

$22 billion doesn't go as far as it used to.

And amid a declining number of chip companies.

The AI TOP UD SSD 1TB is less potent than the AI TOP 100E series, but its endurance is still class-leading.

The top five leaders in the SSD industry boosted their market share from 59% in 2022 to 72% in 2023.

Today's computing systems rely on a combination of fast DRAM for active processing and flash storage for long-term data retention. However, Kioxia is working on a new tier in the memory hierarchy with Storage Class Memory (SCM) – a high-capacity, speedy medium that sits between DRAM and flash, providing both data persistence and a power source. It can handle significantly more data than DRAM.

According to retro-focused podcaster "Retro Blast," Wii U consoles are "literally dying" due to unreliable memory chips used as system memory. If the device is left without power for too long, the inexpensive eMMC Flash memory soldered onto the motherboard can become corrupted, preventing the console from booting normally.

Raspberry 'AI'

With AI showing no signs of slowing, TSMC will be ramping up its advanced chip packaging capabilities over the next few years. During its recent earnings call on October 17, the chipmaker revealed that its production capacity for CoWoS packaging technology is set to double year-over-year in both 2024 and 2025.

Qualcomm fires back from its Snapdragon Summit in Maui.

It’s chip season.
