    The current state of Hybrid Bonding in 2026 — TSMC sits at 6 microns and the HBM delay that nobody expected (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Hybrid bonding, the copper-to-copper joining technique that replaces solder microbumps in 3D chip stacks, is in high-volume production on logic chips and has just been postponed for use with memory. TSMC has scaled its SoIC bond pitch from 9 microns to 6 and laid out a path to 4.5 by 2029; Intel began shipping Foveros Direct hybrid bonding in its Clearwater Forest server CPU in the first half of 2026, and AMD has used the technology in volume since the first 3D V-Cache parts. However, a JEDEC de

    Startups want to rent your idle gaming PC for AI tasks — Startups pitch an 'Airbnb for AI inference,' but profitability remains unproven (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If, like mine, your gaming rig spends most of its life doing nothing these days, a pair of startups would be willing to pay you something close to minimum wage for its downtime. Abu Dhabi-based Far Labs and Austin-based Evolving Edge are building marketplaces to farm AI inference out to idle consumer hardware, according to an IEEE Spectrum report. Far Labs plans to launch its Far AI platform in the coming weeks, claiming latency of 100 ms or less, while Evolving Edge is running an open beta. "Im

    A court in Dongguan, China, has frozen 2.14 billion yuan (roughly $318 million) in assets held by Dutch chipmaker Nexperia and its equipment arm, ITEC, according to a filing that Chinese parent company Wingtech Technology submitted to the Shanghai Stock Exchange today. The order covers Nexperia's equity in five Chinese subsidiaries and runs until August 2029, handing Wingtech fresh leverage in its year-long fight to regain control of Nexperia that Dutch authorities stripped from it in 2025.

    Jensen Huang and Lisa Su snubbed by TIME’s 2026 list of top 100 AI leaders — Paris Hilton and Ben Affleck, among others, make the list as ‘Architects of AI’ inexplicably not listed (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    TIME published its 2026 TIME100 AI list last week, with one notable omission: Jensen Huang, one of eight TIME-designated “Architects of AI,” whose GPUs power the training infrastructure for all frontier AI models and whose company has just reported one of the largest sets of quarterly earnings in American corporate history. AMD CEO Lisa Su is missing too, while Ben Affleck, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Paris Hilton all managed to clear a bar that the heads of the industry’s two dominant GPU maker

    Taiwanese prosecutors are investigating Unimicron, one of the world’s largest PCB and chip substrate makers and a key supplier to Nvidia, Intel, Google, and Amazon, over allegations that it shipped China-made PCBs back to Taiwan and relabeled them as Taiwanese products, according to Nikkei Asia. Investigators raided the company’s headquarters in Taoyuan’s Guishan District and a manufacturing plant in Zhongli District on August 28, questioning 14 employees as suspects — including the general and
