The model that rattled Silicon Valley last week now has Washington’s attention. A senior White House official has accused China’s Moonshot AI of breaking US export controls to build Kimi K3. It reached restricted Nvidia chips, he said, and leaned on Am…
Intel will design, package, and fabricate Fortinet’s sixth-generation Security Processor (SP6) on its Intel 4 node.
The two companies announced a strategic collaboration to build the Fortinet Security Processor 6, the custom silicon inside its FortiGate firewalls. Intel will handle the chip design, advanced packaging, and manufacturing. The first name on the list Th…
The pitch is bold for a seed round. Infinity says it can strip away the one advantage that has kept Nvidia untouchable. It has just raised money to try. The company closed a $15 million seed round at a $100 million valuation on Monday, it announced. Ba…
SP6 will draw on what the companies described as Intel’s expertise in disaggregated semiconductor design and advanced packaging.
TSMC reportedly intends to increase prices of wafers it processes citing demand, rising costs, and increased investments in new capacity.
SMIC’s N+3 process technology can achieve transistor density comparable to TSMC’s N6 without using EUV lithography, but it fails to deliver performance or efficiency of modern production nodes.
For a year, one question has hung over China’s fast-improving AI models: what are they actually running on? Z.AI has just given part of the answer. It has built a huge data centre that uses only Chinese-made chips. The company, formerly known as Zhipu,…
Most AI chips are general-purpose. You load a model onto them, and they run it. Google is reportedly trying something stranger: a chip that is the model, with Gemini’s blueprint etched into the hardware itself. The project, informally called “Frozen v2…
One of the quiet winners of the AI boom is about to test the public markets. Zhongji Innolight, a Chinese maker of high-speed optical transceivers, has started gauging demand for a Hong Kong listing worth as much as $8bn. The Shenzhen-listed company wo…
