The entire world is talking about AI tools like Midjourney and OpenAI’s ChatGPT because they’re disrupting every industry in a BIG way. But there’s another AI breakthrough happening right now that’s even bigger. A couple weeks ago NVIDIA held their latest GTC conference, where they talked about breakthroughs in AI by OpenAI and the hardware they run on – Microsoft Azure and Nvidia’s GPUs built by TSMC using machines by ASML. This video explains the breakthrough that just happened in computational lithography, its impacts on semiconductors.
How Nvidia Grew From Gaming To A.I. Giant, Now Powering ChatGPT
Thirty years ago, Taiwan immigrant Jensen Huang founded Nvidia with the dream of revolutionizing PCs and gaming with 3D graphics. In 1999, after laying off the majority of workers and nearly going bankrupt, the company succeeded when it launched what it claims as the world’s first Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Then Jensen bet the company on something entirely different: AI. Now, that bet is paying off in a big way as Nvidia’s A100 chips quickly become the coveted training engines for ChatGPT and other generative AI. But as the chip shortage eases, other chip giants like Intel are struggling. And with all it’s chips made by TSMC in Taiwan, Nvidia remains vulnerable to mounting U.S.-China trade tensions. We went to Nvidia’s Silicon Valley, California, headquarters to talk with Huang and get a behind-the scenes-look at the chips powering gaming and the AI boom.
Why The World Relies On ASML For Machines That Print Chips
Somehow Every Computer Chip In The World Is Built By One Company
It might seem impossible to believe but all the most advanced semiconductors are made by machines built by one company, named ASML.
IBM’s New Light Speed Processor Shocks The Entire Industry!
Do you want your gadgets to be faster? What if your phone can cut the time it takes to
complete tasks? Or your computer can compute way faster? Most of us do, but with the
state of current technology, the truth is, they aren’t likely to get much faster than they
are! For the past decade and a half, the clock rate of single processor cores has stalled
at a few Gigahertz, and it is getting harder to push the boundaries of the famous
Moore’s law! However, a new invention by IBM may change all of that! What are optical
circuits, how do they work, and how will they make your devices faster? Join us as we
dive into the new optical circuit that surpasses every CPU known to humans!

How Chip Giant AMD Finally Caught Intel
Chip giant Advanced Micro Devices made history this year when it surpassed Intel by market cap for the first time ever. Intel has long held the lead in the market for computer processors, but AMD’s been on the rise since it acquired adaptive chip company Xilinx in February for $49 billion. Now, AMD chips are in two Tesla models, NASA’s Mars Perseverance land rover, 5G cell towers and the world’s fastest supercomputer. CNBC sat down with CEO Lisa Su to hear about AMD’s remarkable comeback, huge bets on new types of chips in the face of a PC slump, new restrictions on exports to China, and shifting industry trends.
The future of computer chips is being made in Albany, NY
We’re in a computer chip shortage, and the world needs new solutions — fast. Everything we do revolves around chips: Our cars, our businesses, our lives, all are powered by computers. Without access to new chips, life as we know it grinds to a halt.
Today, most semiconductors are produced overseas, and the pandemic greatly impacted both chip production and supply chains, while demand hasn’t slowed. There’s also growing demand for new types of chips, to run things like complex AI models, quantum computers, and massive cloud computing systems.
Up in Albany, New York, researchers are working to address the chip shortage now, as well as design the new types of chips the world will need moving forward. These efforts could be aided by President Biden’s calls to build semiconductors in the US, and the recent signing of the CHIPS and Science Act, which allocates billions in funding for R&D of new chips in the States.
Research carried out in Albany has helped usher in the digital age we currently live in. And the research happening today has the potential to change how we discover new materials, cure illnesses, communicate, travel, work, and live.
New eSIMs Are Replacing Traditional SIM Cards for Mobile Phones | Tech News Briefing Podcast | WSJ
U.S. cell phone carriers have long required SIM cards to let you use devices on their networks. Now, the traditional plastic SIM cards are being phased out in favor of embedded versions called eSIMs. The change could make switching carriers easier, and open up new possibilities for how phones are designed. WSJ personal tech reporter Dalvin Brown joins host Zoe Thomas to discuss the change and why it’s taken so long for eSIMs to be embraced in the U.S.
Semiconductor Companies Now Face an Oversupply. What Happened? | Tech News Briefing Podcast | WSJ
After two years of a chip shortage, we are now finding ourselves in a chip glut. What does a deepening oversupply of semiconductors mean for the industry?
WSJ semiconductors reporter Asa Fitch joins host Julie Chang to explain what led to this point and how the industry is looking ahead.
