@Meta, what do you think?
With #Huawei’s former smartphone brand under the scrutiny of #US lawmakers, it might have long term implications for #China's #semiconductor industry as well as the global #smartphone chipset competitive landscape. techtaiwan.com/20210811/huaw…

Frank Huang, the founder of #PSMC has recently founded Taiwan Advanced Automotive Technology Development Association (TADA). Despite insisting that it is not a competitor, TADA places itself as an alternative - the semiconductor industry's answer to #MIH. techtaiwan.com/20210811/mih-…

#Intel has gotten ahead of #Apple, becoming the first customer of #TSMC’s 3nm process. Notably, the British startup #Graphcore will also use the Taiwanese foundry’s cutting-edge process for its next generation of IPU. techtaiwan.com/20210810/tsmc…

Thanks to US sanctions and chip shortage, the year 2021 has become a turning point for China's #microcontroller industry. techtaiwan.com/20210809/chin… #ev #semiconductor #tesla #MCU #Chipshortage #tradewar #USChina

In the past, only big players like #MediaTek could achieve profit margins nearing 50%, while smaller chip design companies in #Taiwan generally had profit margins between 20-30%. Recent dynamics have changed this pattern. #Qualcomm #TSMC #chipshortage techtaiwan.com/20210803/foun…

At #Qualcomm’s annual general meeting, Qualcomm CEO Christian Amon identified #TSMC and #Samsung to be the company’s strategic partners. Why? #5G #smartphone #MediaTek #5G techtaiwan.com/20210730/qual…

According to TPCA, #Taiwan’s #PCB industry has temporarily led the global market, but #China is catching up, closely behind. #uschinarelations #semiconductor #chipshortage techtaiwan.com/20210728/taiw…

Another milestone in the desktop #CPU market: #MediaTek today launched its #arm-powered #Kompanio 1300T, a #SoC built on #TSMC’s 6nm process technology, targeting #Chromebooks, among others. #qualcomm #5G #google #intel techtaiwan.com/20210728/medi…

As #TSMC evaluates the plan to set up a fab in #Germany, its main competitor, #Intel, might be one step ahead under its IDM2.0 strategy. #deutschland #halbleiter #germany #automotive #semiconductor #EU techtaiwan.com/20210727/tsmc…

The Covid surge is overwhelming #Malaysia. Home to a number of #IDM manufacturing sites, such as Infineon and Toshiba, the country is seeing impacts on #power #semiconductor #component shipments. Especially for #MOSFET and #diodes. techtaiwan.com/20210723/pand…

Why is the #automotive #industry looking to shift toward more #regional suppliers in #supply #chain diversification? techtaiwan.com/20210723/auto…

First #semiconductor, now #batteries. Another EV-related shortage is flagged. Global #EV penetrations will reach 40% by 2030, but batteries will run dry by 2025 according to Bank of America Global Research. techtaiwan.com/20210722/shor…

The deal is sealed. #ENGIE Eps Becomes #NHOA. Cooperation with #NHOA will help #Taiwan #Cement #Corporation become a comprehensive storage solution provider. techtaiwan.com/20210722/tcc-…

#Healthcare digital-startup company #Olive announced a partnership with @ASUS to bring #AI #medical #coding assistant #ASUS #Miraico to healthcare providers via the #OliveHelps platform. It will reduce tedious administrative work, find out more: techtaiwan.com/20210721/oliv…

Powered by its strong #semiconductor & electronics manufacturing industries, now #Taiwan seeks to replicate its success story in space. #SpaceX #TSMC #satellite #cubesat #nanosatellite #6G techtaiwan.com/20210720/taiw…

For #Huawei, designing the #OLED driver chips might be the easier task. The real challenges haven't started, especially amidst the trade war. #China #uschina #uschinarelations #HiSilicon #Taiwan #tradewar #chipshortage techtaiwan.com/20210720/huaw…
