AMD may raise prices on some of its microchips by around 10% at the end of 2026 due to increased manufacturing costs at TSMC. This could affect chips for AI, graphics cards, and chipsets, and may also potentially impact the price of Ryzen processors, although there is no official confirmation yet.
Chinese scientists have developed the world's most compact ferroelectric transistor with a 1 nm gate, which reduces energy consumption during data transmission in artificial intelligence systems. The new device operates at low voltage and is compatible with industrial technologies, paving the way for more energy-efficient chips for AI and wearable devices.
UNSW engineers have achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing by enabling isolated atomic nuclei to interact at the scale of modern microchips. This paves the way for building scalable quantum computers using existing technologies.
