DARPA has selected the Texas Institute for Electronics (TIE) at The University of Texas (UT) at Austin to develop 3D-integrated multi-chiplet advanced ‘semiconductor microsystems’ for the U.S. Department of Defense. This project involves creating a national R&D and prototyping facility to produce high-performance, energy-efficient, lightweight, and compact defense systems. A $1.4 billion project The project is part of DARPA’sNext Generation Microelectronics Manufacturing (NGMM)program, which aims to design 3D packaging technologies and build appropriate facilities for military and civil use....

DeepSeek, a China-based startup, unveiled an AI assistant last week that is20 to 50 times cheaper to train and operate than OpenAI’s models. This triggered a massive selloff of tech stocks that had been driven by the rise of AI. The selloff wiped nearly $600 billion from Nvidia’s market value as investors believed that demand for its processors would decrease. However, ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger argues that compute performance is never enough and that high demand for processors from tech giants will remain....
