TSMC is willing to take control of Intel chips factories. What you don’t want is to do it alone

by

The administration led by Donald Trump has asked TSMC to help rescue intel semiconductor factories. This is at least what media support almost always as well informed as Reuters either SCMP. If so, This initiative of the US government It changes everything. If the Trump administration did not agree with this strategy, its viability would be very small, but its support invites us to take this possibility very seriously. According to these TSMC media, it is preparing a proposal that will present both Intel and the US government to take control of Integrated circuit production plants of this American company. However, this Taiwanese chips manufacturer does not want to face this solo challenge; He prefers to do it with other companies that presumably also interested in participating in the management of Intel factories. According to the sources of ReutersTSMC managers are talking to their Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and Qualcomm counterparts with the purpose of constituting a joint company that is responsible for plant management. TSMC would not have a participation in any case greater than 50% in this Joint Venture. At the moment there has been no official confirmation that supports these negotiations, but at the current situation this information is very credible. In any case, this plan will not come to fruition if it does not have the approval of the Donald Trump government. Some Intel relevant employees want to keep control of factories Ben Sell, Vice President of Intel Technology Development, confirmed At the end of last September that the 18A node already has the maturity necessary to enter large -scale production in 2025. and also assured that it will benefit from the resources that have been reallocated since the 20A node. In the current scenario the 18A node will be the true protagonist. In fact, and this is really important, Intel has confirmed which will receive a maximum of 3,000 million dollars within the framework of the ‘Chips and Science Act’ program to manufacture semiconductors for the US government in a reliable way. Lithography 18a is the best opportunity that Intel has to resume direction and improve its competitiveness The name of this plan, “Safe Enclave”, reflects one of the requirements required by the Administration: Chips must occur in the strictest confidentiality. And, as we can intuit, these integrated circuits They will be manufactured in the 18A node. This integration technology is definitely the best opportunity that Intel has to resume course and improve its competitiveness. In fact, voices are being raised within the company itself that demand a little patience to give this node the opportunity to place Intel on the path of recovery. This statement by Joseph Bonetti, main manager of Intel engineering programs, expresses this vision very well: “Intel leaders, Board of Directors of Intel and Donald Trump administration, please do not sell or give the control of Intel Foundry to TSMC just when Intel is taking the technological front and starting to take off. It would be a terrible and demoralizing error.” Bonetti also maintains that Intel is not lagging for its competitors, and that the advances that their engineers are achieving in the field of chips production are very important. At the current situation there is no doubt that the 18A integration technology is the best Intel asset to recover health, but it is important that we do not overlook that its technicians have been calibrating more than a year and adjusting their first teams of lithography of extreme ultraviolet (UVE) and haute opening manufactured by ASML. Intel has them in its Hillsboro (USA) plant. The first tests with this machine presumably They made them at the end of 2024and in 2025 the preliminary tests that pursue to manufacture integrated circuits in the 14A node will begin. It sounds exciting. We will follow the track to this machine very closely to keep you aware of all progress.

If Nvidia lived only from PC GPUs, she would be about to die of success. And US tariffs don’t help

by

During the last weeks take a family graphics card GeForce RTX 50 Nvidia without falling into the hands of speculators is a real odyssey. At the time I am writing this article the only solution of this family that is easy to find at a price close to the recommended By nvidia is the GeForce RTX 5070. As is understandable, this situation generates frustration among the players who have decided to get one of these graphics cards, as you have noticed in the comments of our articles. To understand what is happening, we are interested in taking a look at “the photograph” of the PC graphics card market. According to the consultant Jon Pedie Research During the last 2024 quarter, more than 78 million GPUs were distributed for PC, which represents a 6.2% growth compared to the third quarter of last year. Nvidia leads this market with a quota of 65%, while Intel and AMD are formed with 16% and 18% respectively. This is our starting point. Difficult times arrive for the PC graphics card market This statement of Jon Pediethe head of the consultant who I have mentioned a few lines above, describes very precisely what the current situation is: “Nvidia, with the highest market share, had difficulty satisfying the demand. And as a result of its size and influence, it prevented the GPU market Tariffs will include profits for the majority, even for everyone, for 2025 “. TSMC is responsible for producing these chips for Jensen Huang’s company Nvidia has not officially revealed how many GPUs belonging to the GeForce RTX 50 family has delivered to graphics card assemblies, but it is evident that not necessary to meet demand. The Taiwanese manufacturer of semiconductors TSMC is responsible to produce these chips for the company of Jensen Huang, but it is important that we do not overlook that it not only manufactures the GPUs for Nvidia games; also produces its chips for artificial intelligence (AI). And the production capacity of TSMC is limited. From one thing we can be sure: in the current circumstances the GPU market for AI is a priority for Nvidia. After all, it is Its greatest source of income. The Jon Peddie Research report expects that from 2024 to 2028 the general market of the GPUs will be contracted annually, and in 2030 only 15% of the computers will have a dedicated graphics card. In these circumstances it seems reasonable to assume that Nvidia and AMD will pay more and more attention to their chips for AI, and perhaps a little less to their GPU for games. Anyway, there is another fact in Jon Peddie’s statement that is worth not overlooking: The tariffs which is deploying the administration led by Donald Trump. At the moment TSMC produces Nvidia chips in Taiwan. Perhaps in the medium term diverts the manufacture of these integrated circuits to Your new US plantsbut for the moment neither Nvidia, nor AMD, nor any other client who buys TSMC his chips produced in Taiwan will be fought from the tariffs. And in these circumstances, as Peddie states, the profits of these companies will be affected. If prices do not raise their benefits will be reduced. And if they are presumably submitted less, so their earnings will also resent.

It’s time to face that we can’t pay attention to things, we don’t really want to do it

“I can’t do anything for more than fifteen minutes without looking at the mobile.” A while ago, in Xataka we published A very interesting report about how we had become an eternally decentralized generation. In it, a good number of testimonies and several experts talked about one of the common places of our time: the feeling that we are losing our ability to pay attention. But is it true? The question is not absurd, of course. Especially since the debate is not so much whether memory (attention or other cognitive abilities) changes with the use of mobile devices. Of course they change. They change functionally and do so at a structural level. As Manuel Sebastián explained to usResearcher at the Cerebral Cartography Unit of the Complutense University, “we know that the text that includes links (hypertext) seems to be remembered worse in general, which is totally logical because they constitute distractors and the role of attention is critical in memory” . However, as Sebastián reminded us, “the fact that information is processed differently is not necessarily bad.” The question is whether the changes are worse, if they are leaving us more helpless in the face of certain phenomena of the world. What about our attention? A few months ago, a team from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Vienna this question was askedbut it is not something to answer. After all, to do so we need to be able to go beyond personal sensations and find attention measurements in numerous contexts, times and ages. Measurements, in addition, that they were not theoretical but were vinvulated to solve concrete problems. Where could they find such data? There was only one answer: in Intelligence tests. That huge tailor drawer that are intelligence tests. For decades, psychologists have been passing intelligence tests to millions of people and, thanks to this, we have a huge base of psychometric evaluations. Well, among that huge amount of data: there is attention tests. Once they realized this, the Researchers gathered 179 Studies with 287 independent samples from 32 different countries over 31 years: that is, they gathered evidence of more than 20,000 people and examined whether throughout these three decades a decay of attention was identified. The results are … counterintuitive. When they examined children, adolescents and young people, They realized that their scores remained stable over the years. When they examined adults, they found that, in fact, The scores improved. Yes, you have read well: our attention has been improving for years. So we are not losing attention capacity? As Adam Grant saidProfessor of Organizational Psychology at Wharton, the problem has never been attention, it is motivation. If we want to use our attention we have the ability to do it, the problem is that we usually do not want. We are so surrounded by interesting and attractive things that we end up letting us fall into multitasking. And, of course, that has consequences. In fact, it is likely that these consequences are the most notice and those that produce the feeling that we are losing the ability to pay attention. Come on, we are “cheating” ourselves. For example, we know that “pay attention” to various media at the same time (watch a movie while we consult the mobile) It has a negative effect on memory. That is, we remember worse what we see while we do other things. The fact is that when we begin to remember the movies worse, we attribute it to our attention and not to the way we saw the movie. Everything is confused. And you have to be careful with that, because if we do not start from reality, it will be impossible Dominate again Our attention capacity.

I have passed from the iPhone 16 Pro to Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. I don’t echo (almost) anything of less

by

How well the Android high range works. It is something that I have been thinking for a couple of years but, especially, since the end of 2024. The last phone I have been able to analyze has been the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultraa clear aspiring best android mobile 2025. A mobile that, although not the best in practically anything (except for integration of AI), makes check in everything. And this is usually more important than shining for some specific aspects. Battery, performance, cameras, software. Everything works as it should work. Something that seems basic on a mobile of more than 1,000 euros, but not everyone fulfills. Having analyzed phones such as OPPO FIND X8 PRO or the Magic7 Pro Honorthe feeling is different from the one I had a few years ago. The iPhone is no longer clear, saving an appearance. Let’s talk about power. It is me, the heavy power. I am obsessed with her, and I have my reasons. I dedicate myself to deepen telephones and, as a collateral effect, to be the official recommender of all my friends and acquaintances. There is something that ever has never been an exception: every time I have recommended a little powerful mobile, in less than three years everything has been complaints and regrets. To the question “Why do I want such a powerful mobile if you only use WhatsApp, Mail and some apps”, the answer is “so that in three or four years WhatsApp, the mail and those apps continue to work well.” There will be exceptions, of course, but in general terms mobile phones Poquipotent They are not made to last. A while ago, Apple’s superiority in processors was brutal. It was simply impossible to reach them in Benchmarks, and this helped an iPhone of a few years ago be more powerful than the Android of New Horn that were coming out. That ended a few years ago, and with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MEDATEK DIMENSITY 9400the competition is more equated than ever. Everyone has an absurd power today, and more than necessary in a few years. In the case of Samsung, it has the Qualcomm and, although it is not the mobile in which it is best optimized, it is simply impossible to say that it works worse (or better) than the iPhone. Simply, they fly. The software, that great barrier. One UI 7, as I counted in my impressions with the systemit is for me the best software that exists in Android. At least, in this Ultra S25 (a separate case is how it works in less powerful models). Six years of updates, the new live activities of iOS inheritance, and a really useful artificial intelligence burden. Historically I have been very Pixel Experience, but Samsung’s Rom provides added value that no other gets. I am a Mac user, Airpods and iPad, I don’t hide. The integration between Android and these devices remains simply terrible, without half inks. Nor (even if you try and say yes) there are real alternatives to Airdrop, nor are new system versions as fast as in iOS. The quality of some apps is lower and, if you care a lot about the quality of the contents when uploading them to social networks, this is not your operating system. Saving this, iOS and Android have been approaching over the years. I still defend that, objectively, iOS is more stable and is better refined than Android. Despite this, the evolution of the Google operating system in recent years, especially if we talk about what manufacturers have done with their personalized roms, has been spectacular. Let’s stop fighting for the camera. One of these two photos is taken with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The other is taken with the iPhone 16 Pro. One is clearly better than the other, but I am not going to tell you which, I will let you decide in comments. The key here is that, although I am clear that there is a phone that makes better photos than the other, the differences between high -end devices have been minimized over the years. Every year, in the great photographic comparison that I prepare in Xataka, I have to spend hours expanding the photographs and analyzing elements such as the reflexes that are generated in the lenses or other points to be able to determine a winner. Without expanding and without fixing in detail I am clear: practically no average user could objectively differentiate which photo is better than another. It would simply be in a position to choose which one likes the most. And this is excellent news. Buying a high Android range is no longer a bad idea. There was a time when buying a high -end mobile was to spend more than 1,000 euros on a phone that would be updated for two years and with a power about two years behind the iPhone. This is why, historically, it has been very difficult for me to recommend the purchase of Android mobiles in this price range. With the advances in hardware, things have changed a lot in recent years. To the point that what I look most is in the ROM and the user experience that the buyer will have, more than in the rest of details and differences between devices. And here, next to Google, Samsung is the one who is moving the baton. Image | Xataka In Xataka Android | After a decade with an Android mobile, three months ago I went to iPhone. I’m already clear with which platform I stay

Lamborghini has said that they don’t count on them

by

Classic supercar or of exclusive editions They have become an investment asset as attractive as art or real estate. Therefore, there are many who miman to the extreme Your four -wheel collection pieces. However, we have seen inumerable cases in which these museum pieces have been abused and abandoned to their fate in sheds and even Forgotten in fields In the middle of nowhere. For them, restoration is the only option for recover its splendor preterite. However, it is about A Lamborghinido not ask them to change the slightest screw with respect to the original. The answer will be overwhelming: no. Retro modernity The retro is more fashionable than ever. The new Electric Renault 5 It is the best example of this, retaining the essence and style of the models that were manufactured in the 70s and 80s, but with that futuristic air so refreshing that it is making it a Superventas in France. Following that trend, there are many modification workshops that are responsible for Restore classic cars They were in a deplorable state, adding different electronic benefits, screens or accessories that did not include the original models. Given the growing interest in classic cars and restorations that increase their value, Lamborghini created Your polo storic division More than a decade ago. However, for some it will be tempting to conduct a classic supercar, but with the performance and comfort of a modern car. Seen the rise of customizations in luxury supercar, surely many millionaires They would pay fortunes for one “Restmod” edition of a classic from Lamborghini. It is not a single car, it is a legacy However, for Lamborghini, that concept is little less than a sacrilege. Giuliano Cassataro, Head of the Pole Storic Service, declared to The Drive that “for us, there is only one count. . Just as my partner Alberto de la Torre proved firsthand, THE OBJECTIVE OF POLO STORICO It is that those owners of a Lamborghini can restore it to their original factory state. Another of the missions of this division is to certify that the brand’s classics have not undergone modifications in their original pieces that can alter their value. For Lamborghini technicians, modify one of these classics to offer a new vision. It would be like reinventing history. Therefore, they do not hesitate to use their documentary archive so that the restoration of the classic models is carried out thoroughly. After their restoration the cars return to the same state that it had when it left its production line. Same colors, same materials and finishes. Other brands Like Jaguar or Porsche if they are playing The “Restmod” Bazacreating new limited editions of their classic cars to create a new exclusive collection piece with a unique finish that customers can pay until twice what the original model cost. In fact, these special editions are reporting large benefits to luxury cars manufacturers, who have found in the Customization of your cars A reef for increase the invoice Purchase end. But in Lamborghini, they already consider that each of their cars is unique in itself. An example of the work of this restoration division was the Lamborghini Miura SVR that the brand “rescued” from extinction to return it to life in full form fifty years later. Instead, those of Sant’agata Bolognese prefer Aventador Miura Homage. In Xataka | This Porsche burned is unique, almost nobody remembers and has a Spanish past.

The 2025 major league season and the encounters between Mets and Yankees are more than evident have not yet begun. Proof of this were the explosive statements of the launcher Aj Minterwho signed for two seasons with those of Queens in exchange for $ 22 million. After taking the Dominican Juan Soto from the Yankees, the Mets took the lead in the market and the pique continued later that in statements extracted from Sny, MINTER talked about his experience with the fans of the mules. According to the reliever, Mets fans are the true ball followers. Otherwise Yankees public that according to him do not understand baseball. “It can be said that these Mets fans are true baseball fans. They understand baseball, not like those on the other side of the city”Miner said at his discretion. MINTER’s comment is founded that he has been able to face many teams but according to him there are no better fans than those of the Mets. “These are the true staunch fans and will be with you until the end. I had to face them all throughout my career and they always did the best of themselves, so we cannot wait to launch for you now, ”he added. The arrival of Minder to the Bullpen of the Mets serves as an experience reinforcement available to the manager Carlos Mendoza. The left -hander comes from a season with many injuries; Despite this, he launched in 34.1 innings, leaving 35 strikeouts and 2.62 percentage of clean races.

“We don’t have players”: Guardiola evaluates Manchester City’s new signings

by

Manchester City is not going through a good sporting moment in either the Premier League or the Champions League. Therefore, the English team has made moves in this winter market seeking to reverse its current situation. Striker Omar Marmoush and central defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis were the additions in which City spent just over $110 million dollars in the middle of the season to rebound in the final stretch of the year. Given the arrival of these footballers, coach Pep Guardiola evaluated their additions. Well, he admits that they were going through a difficult time in which they did not have many options due to the large wave of injuries that the squad is experiencing. “We have the same injuries as before. Dias and Doku are out. The new additions will enter this weekend’s call. “We don’t have any players.”analyzed by an experienced Spanish coach. Omar Marmoush is a new Manchester City player.Credit: AP “We did not make signings in the summer and now we have to do them because of the problems and injuries we have had”Guardiola commented regarding the great wave of injuries that the squad has, which reaches up to six figures. Regarding the new additions, the coach also made an analysis of what they could contribute to the team and how he plans to use them on the field. Especially in the next games that will be key for the season. “Although we don’t train much, everyone looks very good. Reis is young and has a great personality. Khusanov seems adapted, he has experience playing against strong and fast players in the French league. He doesn’t speak much English and my French isn’t good, so communication will be one of the things we’ll have to work on. And Marmoush already trained with us, he will learn soon,” the strategist concluded. For now Manchester City will have to face Chelsea for the 23rd of the Premier League. Championship in which the Citizen team is in fifth place. While next Wednesday they will have to host Bruges to qualify for the Champions League playoffs. Keep reading:
