The Nvidia RTX 4090 sits on top of the throne as the peak of graphical performance for the latest generation of GPUs, be it Nvidia, AMD, or Intel. Having the best of the best in your PC does however come with a huge downside, and that’s the price. In the fairly recent past the RTX 4090 has had an asking price surging over $2K, but during the current Prime Day 2024 sale the RTX 4090 can be purchased for its all-time lowest price....

The U.S. Commerce Department announced today that it has come to a preliminary agreement with Intel to provide the chipmaker with $8.5 billion in direct funding for commercial semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, along with $11 billion in loans with a low interest rate and a 25% investment tax credit on up to $100 billion of Intel’s capital investments. The funding comes as the byproduct of the CHIPS Act, which seeks to provide direct funding to revitalize domestic chip production....

Intel, Samsung Foundry, and TSMC use ASML’s EUV lithography machines, which are capable of ‘printing’ semiconductors at a 13nm resolution, to build chips on their latest fabrication nodes. But using a laser produced plasma (LPP) EUV light source (which is a CO2 laser applied to small tin droplets) is not the only way to generate 13.5 nm EUV radiation to ‘print’ chips. Researchers in Japan are exploring the usage of free-electron lasers (FELs) from particle accelerators to make chips with leading-edge feature sizes, reportsSpectrum....
