It is about time........ This has been years in the making. In 2019, Apple acquired Intel’s smartphone modem division for approximately $1 billion. The deal included:
- About 2,200 Intel modem engineers joining Apple
- Thousands of wireless patents
- Modem development equipment and intellectual...
Apple is reportedly preparing to replace Qualcomm modems in the upcoming iPhone 18 lineup with Apple-designed 5G modem chips, ending a relationship that has largely defined iPhone cellular connectivity for roughly 15 years.
According to reports, Apple’s next-generation C2 modem is expected to...
Intel (INTC) shares have surged 3x year-to-date due to increasing CPU demand and heightened optimism regarding its foundry operations. Investors are starting to recognize Intel Corporation as more than just a cyclical PC manufacturer. The market is beginning to factor in the likelihood that...
The Taiwan Silicon Shield is real and stronger than ever. TSMC investing in the US, Japan, and Germany makes it even stronger. Semiconductor people play chess while politicians play checkers.
News Summary:
More than $10 billion in investments across the Taiwan ecosystem to expand strategic partnerships and scale advanced packaging capabilities for AI infrastructure
Industry-leading EFB-based 2.5D packaging to enable higher interconnect bandwidth and efficiency in 6th Gen AMD EPYC...
AI makes smart people smarter and dumb people dumber. We are at the tip of the AI iceberg. It is best you know how to navigate it otherwise you will have a Titanic experience, absolutely.
Did you ask AI?
What jobs are being replaced by AI?
Fast answer
AI is already replacing or shrinking parts of some jobs — especially work that is repetitive, rules-based, or heavily text/data-driven. But in most cases, AI is changing jobs more than fully eliminating them.
The jobs most...
