The semiconductor race continues to heat up with more players trying to overtake each other, in an effort to harness the full capabilities of artificial intelligence. Intel has recently launched its Gaudi 3 AI chip, in what seems to be the company's answer to Nvidia's H100 graphic processing unit (GPU), as more tech companies aim to manufacture chips which can use big AI technology. The Gaudi 3 chip is essentially an accelerator chip, and is mainly designed to assist AI systems training, especially by sorting through mounds of data. Another key function of the chip is expected to be helping to...

Taiwan saw its worst earthquake in 25 years on Wednesday morning, about 18 kilometres south of Hualien. Taiwan's Central Weather Administration estimated the quake to be at a magnitude of 7.2 although the US Geological Survey put it at a 7.4 magnitude. So far, at least seven people have died, with more than 500 others injured and more than 100 buildings damaged. Tsunami warnings were also issued in Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, leading to the cancellation of several flights. The warnings have now been lifted. The world's biggest semiconductor producer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing C...

Tech giant Samsung Electronics’ shares jumped 5.16% on Thursday to €1,325, following reports that Nvidia was currently testing the former’s new-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. The HBM3E chip, Samsung’s fifth-generation chip, was launched last month. It is the industry’s first 36-gigabyte (GB) 12- stack high-performance, high-value memory chip. Such chips are seeing soaring demand because they speed up data processing while, at the same time, decrease size, latency and power consumption. As such, they are crucial for artificial intelligence (AI) chips such as Nvidia’s graphics pro...

China is currently the world's top semiconductor consumer, accounting for more than 50% of global consumption, according to the Centre for International Governance Innovation. Along with this, it is also the world's fifth largest semiconductor manufacturer, following Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and the US. China has also highlighted several times in the past that it aims to become an artificial intelligence superpower in the coming few years. Naturally, the US has not taken kindly to these statements, amid increasing geopolitical and trade tensions between the two countries. This has led to the...
