Cybersecurity is stuck in a reactive loop of patches and detection. According to a new analysis, the solution is a foundational shift: building autonomous, hardware-based defenses directly into silicon chips to enforce trust from the moment a device powers on.
Cambridge GaN Devices has appointed Fabio Necco as its new chief executive officer. The fabless semiconductor firm, spun out of the University of Cambridge in 2016, is looking to Necco’s 25+ years in power electronics to drive its next growth phase.
AMD has officially unveiled the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, claiming it’s the fastest gaming CPU with a 5.6 GHz boost clock. It promises up to 60% faster gaming performance versus Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K, but availability is set for Q1 2026.
Shares of Chinese AI chip designer Biren Technology skyrocketed over 119% on their first day of trading in Hong Kong. The blockbuster debut highlights a booming pipeline of AI and semiconductor listings as China pushes for tech self-sufficiency. Analysts see a clear divergence from the U.S. model, w
French fabless chip designer NanoXplore has raised €20 million to accelerate its move into the defense sector. The funding comes from missile maker MBDA and France’s state-backed Defence Innovation Fund. The company specializes in “ITAR-free,” radiation-hardened FPGAs built on a 100% European supply
South Korea’s stock market is having its best year in 25 years, with the Kospi index up a staggering 76%. The rally is fueled by AI-related power plays, memory chip giants like Samsung, and defense contractors, but it’s leaving game developers and EV battery makers behind.
NVIDIA’s plan to integrate Groq’s LPU technology could reshape its AI chip roadmap. The reported strategy involves stacking separate LPU dies on next-gen Feynman GPUs using advanced TSMC packaging, similar to AMD’s 3D V-Cache. This move is a direct play to control the lucrative AI inference market.
New US tariffs on Chinese semiconductors have been postponed until June 2027. The move aims to balance pressure on Beijing with economic stability after a year of escalating tensions.
Nvidia is scrambling to counter Google’s move away from its GPUs. A $20 billion deal for Groq aims to hire the co-creator of Google’s rival TPU chip. This is a massive, reactive bet in the high-stakes AI hardware war.
Nvidia is moving fast to sell its H200 AI accelerators in China, with initial orders for 40,000 to 80,000 GPUs ready to ship. The entire deal, however, hinges on approval from Beijing authorities, who have grown hostile to foreign chips. This represents a critical test for Nvidia’s future in what co
