"industry experts didn’t understand how #SMIC would have the ability to manufacture such a #chip following sweeping efforts by the US to restrict China’s access to foreign chip technology.
"TechInsights, a research organization based in Canada specializing in #semiconductors, revealed shortly after the launch that the smartphone contained a new 5G Kirin 9000s processor developed specifically for Huawei by SMIC.
Two simple way to reduce the likelihood of semiconductor shortages and reduce the volume of e-waste we have to deal with.
Oblige vendors to guarantee N years of useful life for electronic goods, and advertise price-per-year of life alongside purchase price. This could reduce the wastage of semiconductors in disposable electronics, and help people avoid being ripped off by the designer landfill that's misleadingly marketed as being cheaper.
The ultimate yak shave: to implement its last generation of #LispMachines, Symbolics developed a complete #EDA toolset in #CommonLisp called NS that enabled them to design and verify their ASICs, gate arrays, and boards from architecture to photomasks for manufacturing.
Foxconn said it intends to apply for incentives under India's semiconductor production plan, a day after the Taiwanese firm split with Vedanta on a $19.5 billion chipmaking joint venture.
📢 U.S. has convinced #Japan & #Netherlands to join an expanded export embargo on #China, hindering #chip production. 🚫🇨🇳🔌
In retaliation, China cites national security & controls exports of gallium and germanium, critical in #tech gadgets like lasers, displays, power transistors. 📲💻
From credit cards 💳 to washing machines 🫧, #semiconductors are essential in our daily lives.
