It’s a good year for hardware folks. At least as far as mobile is concerned. Both #Samsung and TSMC will introduce their 10nm Fin FET processors in the market this year. In fact, #Samsung ’s so eager to launch the processors on its Galaxy S8 that the company’s reportedly used up all the units available for the processor. No other manufacturer, including #LG, #HTC and #Nokia will be able to use the chip for their flagship smartphones. Today, we’ve got some news from the PC hardware segment. Take a look below for more.
When it comes to manufacturing processes, Intel is king. After all, it’s a well known fact that Santa Clara’s 14nm node equals TSMC/Samsung’s 10nm node. The company will now set up a brand new fab, Fab 42 in Arizona. CEO Brian Krzanich made the announcement recently during his meeting with President Donald Trump. According to Krzanich the facility will, “make the most advanced 7nm semiconductor chips on the planet.” It will also employ 3000 people directly and create an additional 10,000 jobs for support purposes.
That’s 13,000 jobs in total and should’ve pleased President Trump quite a bit. In his comments, Mr Krzanich also emphasized that his company has always given precedence to the US when it comes to core operations. “Intel is very proud of the fact that the majority of manufacturing is here in the US and the majority of our research and development is here in the US. we’ve been able to do that even when the regulatory and tax policies have disadvantaged us in the past relative to the competition we have across the world.”
