Intel 14A uses High-NA EUV and may not be built at all unless outside foundry customers commit, the node where Intel Foundry either becomes…
Intel 20A was the leadership node carrying RibbonFET and PowerVia, until Intel cancelled it in 2024 to save 18A, and built Arrow Lake at…
Intel 3 marks a pivotal point in Intel's strategy, serving as its first foundry node designed for external customers. As the company aims to…
SMIC 5nm means leading-edge logic on DUV at punishing cost, driven by China's need to build Huawei's Ascend AI chips after the US banned…
Intel 4 is the company's first EUV node, in Meteor Lake, finally adopting the lithography Intel refused at 10nm and that the foundries shipped…
SMIC 7nm shipped in the Huawei Mate 60 Pro's Kirin 9000S, a DUV-built chip that proved export controls could not cap China at 14nm.…
Samsung 3nm beat TSMC to gate-all-around with its MBCFET transistor, but poor yields and thin customers meant the world's first GAA node barely mattered.
Samsung 4nm built the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which ran so hot Qualcomm moved the refresh to TSMC, where the same chip ran cooler.…
Intel 7 renamed the 10nm node, Alder Lake brought Intel back, and Gelsinger's IDM 2.0 turned the company that disdained foundry work into a…
Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today unveiled plans for continuous process technology migration to 3- and 2-nanometer (nm) based on…
SMIC N+1 is a 7nm-class node built without EUV, after the 2020 Entity List cut SMIC off from the one machine the industry uses…
Samsung 5nm built the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100, both running hot and throttling, just as TSMC's 5nm delivered Apple's cool, efficient M1.
TSMC's 5nm node put EUV across a full process for the first time and built the Apple M1, ending Intel's hold on the Mac,…
Samsung 8nm built Nvidia's RTX 30 Ampere GPUs, a marquee win taken not on the leading edge but on price and capacity while TSMC…
SMIC 14nm was China's first homegrown FinFET, architected by Liang Mong Song and built for Huawei, proving SMIC could do leading-edge engineering at last.
