One year ago, the United States government made an extraordinary bet on Intel. On Aug. 22, 2025, Washington agreed to invest $8.9 billion in the company, converting previously awarded CHIPS Act and Secure Enclave funding into an equity stake. The goal was bigger than rescuing another struggling American corporation. It was to preserve something the […]

The AI infrastructure buildout is reshaping another corner of the semiconductor industry, with reports indicating that HP, Asus and Acer have begun using limited quantities of DRAM from China’s ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) in selected notebook computers. The move is yet another sign of the growing strain that AI investment is placing on the global […]

For decades, semiconductor progress was told through the story of the chip itself. That story still matters — but it no longer explains how the most advanced AI systems get faster. The most consequential change is now happening around the die as much as inside it. In Beyond the Die: The Definitive Guide to Advanced […]
The US Department of Commerce plans to provide up to $874 million in CHIPS and Science Act incentives to seven semiconductor companies developing technologies for AI infrastructure, extending the government’s support for domestic semiconductor research and the US compute supply chain. The funding, announced through letters of intent, still requires additional review before final awards […]
GlobalFoundries has secured a planned $300 million award from the U.S. Department of Commerce to accelerate research and development of silicon photonics technology. The move is aimed at strengthening domestic semiconductor capabilities and addressing one of the biggest bottlenecks in next-generation artificial intelligence infrastructure, namely network throughput. The funding was announced Wednesday as a letter […]

Watch On-Demand →RISC-V is commonly seen as an ISA for embedded products; for smaller devices that require low power consumption but aren’t very complex and can tolerate lower performance. SiFive, a leading RISC-V IP vendor, is proving that incorrect with its Performance family of products. They recently launched the latest product in the series, the P550, that supports the RVA23 profile: a crucial enabler for SW developers and the industry as a whole. In this webinar, we discuss how SiFive has been able to deli
Watch On-Demand →There has never been a megatrend as transformative as AI. 2023 unlocked new possibilities, 2024 brought new proof of concepts and 2025 was the year to prove the ROI and business value generation of AI. 2026 is the year of the AI reality check and organizations that successfully operationalize AI to drive concrete efficiency and measurable impact will be the ultimate winners.
Watch On-Demand →As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are discovering that the real challenge is no longer building models—it’s running them reliably at scale. This webinar explores the growing “production AI gap,” where promising prototypes fail to translate into consistent, real-world outcomes. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of why inference—not training—is becoming the defining layer of AI, and what it takes to operationalize AI systems in environments shaped by unpredictable demand, latency
