Macworld explains chip binning, a manufacturing process where Apple sorts processors by performance and disables faulty cores to maximize usable chips from production. This practice allows Apple to offer different performance tiers without designing new chips,

Intel has joined Tesla, SpaceX and xAI's $25B 'Terafab' project, confirming what was already obvious: Tesla isn't actually going to build its own chip fab.

Then, in January 2024, the dormant fab was booted up again. Intel funneled billions into the facility, including $500 million it was granted from the US CHIPS Act. Now, Fab 9 and its neighbor, Fab 11X, are critical infrastructure for one of Intel’s quietly fast-growing businesses: advanced chip packaging.

Arm unveiled its first in-house chip on Tuesday at an event in San Francisco, with Meta as the initial customer.

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) is one of the most valuable semiconductor companies by market cap (currently valued at $1.5 trillion). It has been a solid chip stock to ride the artificial intelligence (AI) boom over the past few years, and CEO Hock Tan just revealed how big its opportunity could become.

Apple is planning to release a new MacBook Neo next year, according to Taiwan-based tech columnist and former Bloomberg reporter Tim Culpan. In the latest edition of his Culpium newsletter today, Culpan said the new MacBook Neo will be equipped with a version of the A19 Pro chip from the iPhone 17 Pro models.

The firm says it can can reduce the cost of chip development by more than 75% and cut the timeline by more than half.
