Clear tag filterMalaysia Looks Towards Self-Made 3nm Chips
As Malaysia looks towards creating its own 3nm chips, the future of semiconductors in the country looks positive. But while its collaboration with ARM is certainly interesting, it’s also unusual for its choice of ARM over RISC-V. What challenges do countries like Malaysia face, what exactly is it doing with ARM, and why could RISC-V have been a better choice?

As semiconductor nodes shrink to 2nm and beyond, does smaller always mean better? Can raw logic density now define performance more than transistor size? And as companies like Rapidus challenge Intel and TSMC, who will ultimately produce the most cost-effective, reliable devices for modern applications?
Read MoreTexas Instruments Commits Over $60 Billion to U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing
Texas Instruments is investing over $60 billion to expand U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, building up to seven fabs in Texas and Utah. Focused on foundational semiconductors like power management and mixed-signal ICs, the move supports supply chain resilience and aligns with the CHIPS Act. This long-term commitment aims to secure domestic availability of critical components for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications.
Read MoreChina US Tariffs – China Changes Definition of Origin to hurt US suppliers
China’s new chip-origin rules target U.S. semiconductor exports by basing import duties on wafer fabrication location, undermining American chipmakers’ access to the Chinese market. While the U.S. scrambles with reactive policy, China’s long-term semiconductor strategy is paying off—posing serious challenges for American suppliers and exposing flaws in short-sighted trade war tactics.
