Lot of news on the chip making front.

Samsung improves 4 nm foundry yields, on par with TSMC: analyst - KED Global

Samsung Electronics Co. has improved its chip foundry manufacturing yield for the 4-nanometer node to the level shown by its archrival Taiwan Semiconductor Man

A single chip like this could transmit a world’s worth of data

The internet has a big environmental footprint. But this new type of tech could help reduce the climate impact of computing.

Investors are going wild over a Dutch chip firm. And you've probably never heard of it

The 37-year-old company is the only firm in the world capable of making the highly-complex machines that are needed to manufacture the most advanced chips.

Yeah, unfortunately you have to watch on YouTube. It's worth watching though, very good explanations.

Intel puts 1nm process (10A) on the roadmap for 2027 — also plans for fully AI-automated factories with 'Cobots'

1nm chips to arrive in late 2027.

www.tomshardware.com

Intel 10A is coming 2027, Intel 14A in 2026.

I showed you Intel’s new public roadmap last Wednesday — when it confirmed Intel 14A was coming by 2027. But it turns out the company quietly announced Intel 10A as well. It’ll start production in 2027, after 14A begins production in 2026. That’s different than consumer availability, of course...

1.4nm in 2026, 1nm in 2027.

Remind me, what's the chip size where QM starts really messing with your electron flow?

How much smaller can we make a classic transistor?

They've found a way to counter quantum tunneling. It's discussed in the video in post #6.

There will come a point at which atomic radius becomes a limiting factor though.

Disagree with the title on that chart, Cerebras is a large jump up (looks like a whole order of magnitude above the A100 chips) but it's still trending along per Moore's Law.

Yes and the Cerebras processors are wafer-scale units. That’s been tried with varying levels of success by Intel, Cray, IBM, and DEC, among others. Viability of wafer-scale processors tends to depend on both manufacturing yield and the complexity of device-to-system interconnections.

They don't do FP64 compute either apparently.

Should the Pentagon have used Commerce Department funds for semiconductors?

Opinion: The U.S. Defense Department has successfully, albeit surreptitiously, swiped $3.5 billion from the Commerce Department’s CHIPS Act funding.

The U.S. Defense Department has successfully, albeit surreptitiously, swiped $3.5 billion from the Commerce Department’s CHIPS Act funding to subsidize Intel’s creation of a classified advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility called Secure Enclave.
