Apple begins the reconquest of China thanks to the strong point of the iPhone 17 Pro: it is orange

by

Color psychology is a tremendously studied field. Something as simple as a color can trigger feelings subconsciouslybeing the use of green color in the scenes of the villains of classic Disney one of the best examples. It also depends on our languagebut I feel such a powerful weapon, it is evident that it is used consciously in the marketing and colors of the products. And there is nothing that exemplifies it better than China’s fever for the iPhone 17 Pro. For one in particular: the orange iPhone. In short. China is a market with immense potential for companies that want to exploit it. They are simple numbersand Apple has just witnessed what happens when they hit the key. How do they count in Financial TimesIn Apple’s recent financial presentation, Tim Cook welcomed the rebound in iPhone sales in China during the fourth quarter of 2025. The last and first sections of each year are the strong points of an Apple that usually launches its new devices between September and November of each year, but in the last quarter of 2025 they have experienced something unusual: income of 26,000 million dollars, marking a growth of 38% year-on-year in China and accounting for a fifth of the company’s total income. Taking into account the continuity in terms of specifications and fierce competition with Xiaomi, Alive and one Huawei that has returned on its ownit’s… curious. But it seems that the person responsible is none other than one color. cosmic orange. It is the model we analyzed, clearly the most striking of Apple’s colors for the latest batch of iPhone and the one that is causing a stir in China. Orange is a color that distills energy, happiness and vitality. It is a warm color, and in China it also has a meaning positive related to the vitality of the crops, but also with spirituality and with the association of “orange” and “success” due to the similarity in Mandarin. And it seems like a joke, but it’s not. As we said, the colors of a device are not chosen at random, and this one has also landed on the right foot in the Asian giant. Nabila Popal, research director of the analyst group IDCnotes in the FT that “it sounds simple, but iPhone sales respond to obvious external changes in the design, which include the introduction of a garish orange color.” Viral. But it is no longer that Chinese consumers are buying the orange iPhone because it symbolizes that vitality, but because it symbolizes status. The shade of Apple’s ‘Cosmic Orange’ is very, very similar to the classic Hermès Orange, a luxury brand with which Apple itself has collaborated on some occasions (for Apple Watch straps, for example). It is something that has made the orange iPhone Pro transcend: from being a premium range phone to a luxury accessory. And of course, it is only in the most expensive model, the Pro, which increases that even more. perception to have a luxury accessory. “Choosing orange means that everyone knows that you are using the latest iPhone. It is a statement of identity,” said an influencer in one of the -many- unboxings of the orange iPhone that are seen on Chinese networks. Beyond color. Aside from the fact that color has had an impact on the sale of iPhones in China during the last period, the interesting thing is that Apple has managed to turn the tables. It has presented its strongest quarter since the first of 2022, the year in which it stood out and which has been followed by three periods of dcadence compared to national competition. Huawei, in particular, was very strong after recovering from the US veto and starting to launch high-end mobile phones again, this time with home-made chips. Apple should not be too amused about calling the orange iPhone “the Hermès iPhone,” but seeing how viral it is, it’s not like this mix of identities should be a headache in Cupertino. Now the question is whether they will start launching other devices and models in orange to try their luck in China… or if they will withdraw it, leaving the color as an exclusive to the iPhone 17. It wouldn’t be the first time. Image | Xataka In Xataka | For Apple, the price of its iPhones was sacred. Until it began to fall into the void in China

We’ve been obsessed with strong passwords and public Wi-Fi for years. It turns out that the data sink was in the satellites

by

While we worry about choose strong passwords and Don’t let the neighbor steal our WiFiit turns out that anyone can capture private data simply by pointing a dish at a satellite. It is not a government conspiracy, it is what some Californian researchers have discovered using a piece of equipment that only costs $800. What has happened? They count in Wired that several researchers from the universities of California and Maryland have been capturing communications from various satellites for three years. During this time they have collected a huge amount of private data. Among the information collected there is data on calls and messages from users of various operators, the pages visited by airplane passengers who used WiFi on board, communications between different critical infrastructures such as oil platforms or electrical companies and even police and military communications that revealed the position of their equipment. Why it is important. According to the study’s conclusions, it is estimated that around half of the signal from geostationary satellites carries sensitive information of consumers, companies and also governments. We strive to protect our WiFi networks, our online accounts or mobile devices, but the results of the research make it clear that satellites are a critical element through which data can also be leaked. A basic equipment. What is striking is that the researchers did not use super complex technology to obtain these findings. They simply placed a satellite dish on the roof of a university building and started pointing it at the satellites. They only invested $800 in the entire equipment. The data they obtained is only from the satellites that they could capture from their position in southern California, which according to their calculations is 15% of the total, so logic leads one to think that the amount of sensitive data will be much larger. In addition, it also shows that anyone could do it from another part of the world. Operators. The most significant data came from telephone providers, mainly T-Mobile, but also Telmex and AT&T México. In just nine hours of communications logging, researchers were able to collect the phone numbers of more than 2,700 T-Mobile users, as well as text messages and phone calls. After contacting T-Mobile to alert them, the company took steps to encrypt the data. AT&T also fixed this and claimed it was due to a satellite provider failing to configure some towers in a region of Mexico. Telmex has not said anything about it. Military and police data. That anyone’s data is exposed is already problematic, but that it is data from the army and security forces adds another layer of seriousness. Investigators were able to intercept communications between US military ships and the names of those ships. Since they were in Southern California, they also obtained data from Mexican authorities, including transmissions of confidential information about ongoing operations. “When we started looking at military helicopters, it wasn’t the sheer volume of data that worried us, but rather the extreme sensitivity of that data,” says Aaron Schulman, co-director of the research. Cybersecurity in space. In August of this same year, researchers found several vulnerabilities which, under certain conditions, could allow remote control of satellites. At the beginning of the Ukrainian war, Russia carried out a cyber attack against ViaSat which affected thousands of users. Cases like these highlight the need to bring the cybersecurity debate to space systems as well and not just terrestrial systems.

The first, a resounding ‘yes’ to orange. The second, Apple has been treading strong

by

A curious fact: each and every one of the mobiles that I have bought throughout my life have been black. All, if exception. More matte, more Glossymore curved or more flat, all blacks. And it is curious, because at no time have I thought about changing it. Today I write this from London, just a few hours after having tried the iPhone 17 Pro First hand in Apple’s central offices, with an idea that does not stop around my head: how beautiful the orange is, how good the new flagship of Apple has and, above all, how much you have to demonstrate. While the analysis arrives, here is a contact. It is much more beautiful in person than in the photos | Image: Xataka Orange: Yes. Although having a matte black available, I would surely think about it, we must recognize that Apple has done a sensational job with the “cosmic” orange. The firm has realized that the iPhone focused on the most professional public does not have to be boring and this touch of color stands out, much, on dark blue and silver. It also highlights that huge camera module, closer to what we see in some high -end Android mobiles than the previous iPhone Pro, and the double finished of the rear. Apple returns to aluminum For the unibody chassis, according to the company, thermal issues, but the rear, what we touch with the hand, is Ceramic Shield. The touch, as in the iPhone Airit is very, very pleasant and, in theory, this material should endure the scratches better. However, all this cares little if we are going to put a case. It is something more big than the previous model, enough to be noticed | Image: Xataka In hand. It feels very similar to iPhone 16 Pro I was wearing in his pocket. The dimensions are not very different and the weight is similar, although slightly greater and all cases: 0.4 millimeters higher and width, five more grams and, yes, half a thicker millimeter. It may seem little, but those 0.5 millimeters are noticed. The touch is also different because, well, we go from titanium to aluminum and Ceramic Shield, although it does not feel less premium. That Apple has well dominated. Speaking of design. One of the keys of the iPhone 17 pro is The steam chamber. This is something that we have already seen in some high -end Android terminals and that now reaches Apple’s models. The idea of ​​this system is to dissipate heat better and maintain sustained performance, but it has two challenges ahead. The first, to be up to summer. The second, be able to refrigerate the device when the user puts an case. Now imagine matte black | Image: Xataka This will not only have an impact when we play or execute heavy tasks, but the cooling system will have to answer when we put the camera to work. If you usually record video with the mobile in 4K you will perfectly know how it heats up when you use it for a long time. This camera sees better and further … Although we have not had the opportunity to try the camera as we do in an analysis, we have been able to struggle with it to see what we can expect. On the one hand, Apple has mounted a 48 megapixel sensor under all the lenses, something that will sit in fear of telephoto. We can make four increases optical zoom and up to eight increases with “optical quality”, as well as digital zoom of up to 40 increases, 25 if we talk about zoom in video. Photo taken with the wide angle (x0.5) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with the angular (x1, automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X2 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X4 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X8 (automatic) | Image: Xataka Photo taken with Zoom X40 (automatic) | Image: Xataka The result is good, within that the light was the one that was, although when carrying the zoom we will see the seams. Anyway, this is something that we will investigate more during the analysis. … but it’s not the most powerful zoom. Be that as it may, and although the camera points ways, it is no secret that other brands such as Alive, Oppo, Samsung, Google either Xiaomi Zoom systems with more scope are already set up, up to 200 increases in some cases. Here not only the camera comes into play, but the processing that applies the ISP of the processor. Each brand adopts a different approach and Apple has preferred to be more conservative. Personally, I doubt that no one misses having more digital increases, especially if the final result falls into an AI system that artificially recovers the details causing, in some cases, unwanted artifacts. Anyway, and as we pointed before, we will see it more detail when we can try this camera thoroughly. Image | Xataka The square sensor. This does seem absolutely disruptive and that is available throughout the iPhone 17 series seems to me a success. The cameras sensors are 4: 3, that is, slightly rectangular. That is why to get a horizontal selfie you have to rotate the phone. The inner chamber sensor of the new iPhone is squarewhich allows you to take photos or record video horizontally holding the phone vertical. It works at a thousand wonders and surely let’s not see it becoming a standard of the high Android range. The same as always. The iPhone 17 Pro is a expensive phone and, as such, it is normal to ask if it really is worth it. The answer will depend on the profile and why we use the terminal. If we want to use it to record and we know what we are doing in edition, the iPhone 17 PRO promises strong emotions thanks to the prorew prorew format, for example. It also has the … Read more

Apple maintains strong control even on third -party stores. The test is the elimination of Ititorrent in Altstore Pal

by

IPhone and iPad users in the European Union can do something unpublished in the rest of the world: Install alternative application stores and download apps directly from the developer website. This opening was not born from a change of philosophy in Apple, but of the obligation to fulfill the Digital Markets Law. The company has always defended its closed ecosystem and has warned that opening the door to external applications compromises security of users. However, it should not be confused: even in this new scenario, Apple maintains strong control about everything that is installed on its devices. The recent disappearance of Iitorrent in ALTSTORE PAL It is the clearest proof. Ititorrent is a Bittorrent customer for iOS who had found a distribution channel out of the App Store. Everything changed when his developer communicated in Github that Apple had removed the ability to distribute the application through that route. From one day to another, Iitorrent ceased to be available for new facilities and users began to point out that they could no longer download it. What happened was not a simple technical failure: Apple had revoked the authorization that allows developers to take their apps to alternative stores, a reminder that the company still has the last word even when it is not about its own store. This is how Apple decides which applications are still alive in iOS That same system of Notarizationwhich is presented as a security review, is also the tool with which Apple retains control. If an application stops fulfilling its criteria or if the company classifies it as malicious software, can prevent it from being installed and even block its execution in the devices where it was already. The same goes for third -party stores: they depend on specific permits that Apple grants and can revoke at any time, which would mean leaving all its users without catalog. In practice, although the installation is done from an alternative marketplace or from the web, each step is still subject to the final validation of Apple, as indicated on its website. Notarization for iOS and Ipados apps is a basic review that applies to all apps, regardless of their distribution channel, and focuses on the security and privacy policies of the platform, as well as maintaining the integrity of the device. As we pointed out, first the developer spoke. He reported that Apple had withdrawn from his account the ability to distribute alternative, which left Iitorrent out of Altstore Pal. He said he resorted to the official support without obtaining clear answers. Then came the official Apple position. In statements sent to 9to5MacThe company said: “The certification of this application was eliminated to comply with the rules on government sanctions in various jurisdictions. We have informed the developed.” The contrast is evident: on the one hand, a surprised developer; On the other, a company that insists that its obligation is to stop apps that can be risk. What happened with Ititorrent is not an isolated fact. Some projects that aspired to reach alternative stores found themselves before with the rejection of notarization. For example, Mini Vmac was rejected and never arrived at Altstore Pal. What is clear is that the company retains the ability to remove apps from the circulation beyond its own store. For some users, the practice reflects an excess of control; For others, it is the way to keep your devices safe. In any case, the European opening does not in any case eliminate the central role of Apple in the process. The first question that many are asked is evident: Can Apple withdraw an application even when installed from an alternative store? The answer is yes. All apps in iOS depend on the notarization and permits managed by the company itself, so that if it revokes that authorization, the application ceases to be installed automatically. The question also arises from what happens to those who already had it downloaded. In principle they can continue using it, unless Apple catalogs it as harmful, in which case the system will not let it open. It is no coincidence: in the App Store torrents have been vetoed for years, and the company has never had a simple relationship with them.

Nothing more summery and familiar than visiting an amusement park. In Spain the offer is considerable and covers all kinds of options: the most traditional with roller mountains and free falls, others with more informative approaches and shows, set in different historical times. Passing, of course, through the inevitable aquatic parks, the most refreshing sites to spend summer. We have made a selection of the best attraction parks in our country, so that you do not escape a change of ground in the wagon this summer. Portaventura World (Tarragona) Nothing less than 52 hectares distributed in six thematic areas inspired by civilizations such as China, Mexico or Far West. More than forty attractions for all audiences, some as legendary as Shambhala or Dragon Khan, and a couple of extras, the Caribbean aquatic Aquatic Park, and Ferrari Land, with the fastest attraction in Europe. In addition, they are celebrating for the 30th anniversary of the Park, which guarantees a year of special activities and celebration. Warner Park (Madrid) A thematic experience based on the world of cinema and the characters of Warner Bros, and that is distributed in five areas: Hollywood Boulevard, Movie World Studios, DC Super Heroes World, Old West Territory and Cartoon Village. There are classic attractions such as Russian mountains or the highest free fall tower in Europe, but the authentic appeal is in the encounter with the characters of cinema and television, or the shocking show Batman – Gotham City Escape. There is also aquatic park, ideal for summer months. Attraction Park (Madrid) The classy amusement park, located in the Casa de Campo, offers an experience for the whole family distributed in five thematic areas: Great Avenue, Tranquility, Machinism, Nature and Nickelodeon Land, the latter with children’s attractions and franchise characters for the little ones, such as SpongeBob and the Canine Patrol.

Magic Island (Seville) A DIDACTIC THEMATIC PARK Historical atmosphere: the discovery of America. It offers six thematic zones and attractions that, as always, cover all kinds of styles: roller mountains such as jaguar and aquatic highlights. Its magical water area has artificial beach, wave pool, slides and slow river, which makes a perfect option for summer. As always, there are live shows, also with an educational touch, like many park activities. Mythical terra (Benidorm) Terra mythical also opts for the historical setting, this time around the ancient Mediterranean civilizations with five thematic zones: Rome, Greece, Egypt, Iberia and the Islands. Among its most adrenaline attractions are a 54 -meter free drop that reaches 100 km/h, the flight of the phoenix, and a brutal roller mountain of extreme speeds, titanid. The mythological theme of all attractions (Achilles’ anger, Triton’s fury …) give a unique touch to the park, of the most recognizable in Spain. Unfortunately, its coponstruction also has An intrahistory in which there is space for the embezzlement of the real estate bubble. Tibidabo (Barcelona) Another attraction park, such as Madrid, which has a great tradition, located on the top of the mountain of the same name, which makes it the owner of a privileged natural environment, with great views of the city and the sea. It has more than 25 attractions for all ages, with classics such as Avió, Talaia and Carousel, and also roller mountains and more modern free falls. There are aquatic attractions, educational spaces, live shows, also the historical and essential Museu d’A autòmats and access to the funicular. An amusement park, no doubt, different. Dinópolis (Teruel) Another openly educational and thematic approach park, this time focused on the always fascinating world of dinosaurs. It has interactive and mechanical attractions, such as Torresaurio, and shows such as the T-Rex Show, where the one that is announced as one of the most sophisticated animatronics in the world makes an appearance. It also has, of course, a paleontological museum with fossil skeletons, and all kinds of simulators to discover how dinosaurs lived. Siam Park (Tenerife) It is considered one of the best aquatic parks in the world, and also has a curious special theme, little seen here: everything has Thai style and decoration. Like any amusement park, it has brutal and adrenaline attractions, such as the Singha aquatic roller coaster or the free of free of power free fall (28 meters high, 80 km/h, crossing an aquarium of sharks and mantaryas), and others calmer, with swimming pools and a water racing. There is artificial beach, a slow river and shows with marine animals. Katmandu Park (Magaluf) An absolutely familiar orientation park, with ten attractions where fun without shocks and technology takes prominence. For example, in the star and more original attraction of the park, The House, a house upside down where reality ceases to make sense.

It has a spectacular night show, ‘Toledo’s dream’, which summarizes 1,500 years of history in 70 minutes. Apart … Read more

The production of renewables in Europe is so strong that it is forcing nuclear power plants to work

by

In Europe there is a division around the closure of nuclear. Some countries have already disconnected them at all, such as Germanyor are in the process of doing so, like Spain. Meanwhile, France keeps them as a pillar of its electrical system. However, the arrival of spring has evidenced something that was suspected: the rise of renewables have forced nuclear plants to stop. A lot of light and little demand. The production of renewable energy has saturated the electrical networks in several European countries. According to Bloombergthe immediate consequence has been the fall in electricity prices, which on holidays (Easter and Easter) and with low demand have even become negative. In Spain, five of the seven nuclear reactors They stopped or reduced their burden And, in the case of France, its electric company, known by its acronym EDF, has cut its atomic production in an average of 4GW daily in March, double a year earlier. Negative prices When talking about negative price it may seem that electricity will be free, but it is not. This means that the electric market, based on time auctions, can yield negative prices when there is too much supply and very little demand. In those hours, producers or electrical companies have to pay to place their energy on the network. Renewables, which have legal priority of access, continue to function. On the other hand, nuclear cannot lower their power so quickly and operate in these conditions, especially in countries such as Spain where the tax burden has increased by 71% since 2019, According to PWC. The clean boom. The rise of renewables is promoting many countries to operate with energy 100% cleanrecently Spain He joined this new coverage. Yes, it is true that the increase in installed total capacity has grown vertiginously in a few years, reaching almost 700 GW According to the Global Energy Review 2025. In this commitment to clean generation systems, storage systems also enters batteries either Reservoirsin addition to creating A good electric structuredespite the fear of companies around The uncertainty of the closure of nuclear. What about nuclear energy? If the nuclear operate less hours and with low prices, they lose profitability. And if they also have to stop and restart due to demand variations, costs rise and technical risks increase. As has detailed The New York medium, France, with 70% of its electricity still of nuclear origin, is seeing how that technical rigidity collides with a system in transformation. EDF has warned that frequent variations hinder maintenance and routine tests. Spain already has put closing date To all its reactors between 2027 and 2035, and other countries follow that path. Forecasts According to Staffan Bergh, chief analyst of Bodecker Partners: “We will see many more hours with negative prices, and these will only increase during spring.” In this line the analyst explained that it is not necessary to install more renewable, but in knowing how to use them well, manage them better and complement them with intelligence.

Your plan to leave the oil also goes through betting strong in video games

‘Pokémon Go‘He broke into 2016 and transformed the world of mobile video games. He took us out, turned any corner into a digital hunting field and immersed us in augmented reality as never before. Almost a decade later, the iconic game is about to change the owner. Scopely, a developer owned by Savvy Games Group, which in turn belongs to the Saudi Sovereign Fund, has signed an agreement To buy it with other Niantic titles. A millionaire operation. Scopely has decided to disburse $ 3.5 billion to get part of the Niantic games business, which in 2024 generated more than 1,000 million dollars in revenue and maintains a base of more than 30 million active players per month. As we can see, this agreement does not imply the total purchase of the American company, but the acquisition of a part. If regulators are approved, Scopey, based in the United States and 950 employees in Spain distributed between Barcelona and Seville, will stay with ‘Pokémon Go’, ‘Pikmin Bloom‘ and ‘Monster Hunter Now‘, in addition to’ Campfire ‘,’ Wayfarer ‘and the global network of meetings that support them, such as live events. It will also absorb the team responsible for these projects, guaranteeing their jobs. A catalog with several successes. Scopely is the ‘Monopoly Go’ editor, a mobile game that, although it may not sound you, It became one of the great prominent global after beating its income record in 2024. And it is not his only strong letter. It is also behind ‘Stumble Guys’, ‘Star Trek Fleet Command’ and ‘Marvel Strike Force’, games with huge communities. With this acquisition, it seeks to get your business a step further. What will happen to Pokémon Go? One of the questions that can be asked is what will happen to the game. Scopely has given a signal by absorbing Kei Kawai and Ed Wu, veteran leaders of their studies. The company ensures that the teams “will continue with their ambitious roadmaps” and that “players can expect these games, apps and events to remain faithful to the experiences they know and love.” One of the keys to the success of other Scopey titles has been his aggressive monetization strategy, an issue that follows in the air in regard to ‘Pokémon Go’. It is not clear if the company will apply the same model or if it will respect the current structure of the game. In any case, Pokémon remains owned by The Pokémon Companyso any important modification should have its approval. Challenging moments for Niantic. The agreement comes after a complicated stage for Niantic. Although ‘Pokémon Go’ was a phenomenon from day one, reaching more than 500 million players in their first year, its popularity collapsed during confinements, when its mechanics based on outdoor exploration was practically unusable. This was followed by several setbacks. Niantic canceled ‘Transformers: Heavy metal’, developed in collaboration with the creator of Sleep no More‘Punchdrunk’, in addition to two internal projects with Blue Sky and Snowball Key names. There were also layoffs: In 2023, more than 300 employees were disconnected. With this panorama, the big question is inevitable: if Niantic is letting go to its greatest success, what bet does it have for the future? A turn to AI. Once the operation is finished, Niantic will transform its technological platform into Niantic Spatial Inc., a new Geospatial company. Its objective will be to develop a new generation map for devices and machines to interact with the physical world. As part of the agreement, Scopely will invest 50 million dollars in the company and continue to share certain data from the players. Black gold to digital world. It is no secret that Saudi Arabia seeks reduce its dependence on oil and diversify its economy. A key piece in this strategy is its sovereign fund, owner of Scopely, the company that has just signed the agreement with Niantic. The Fund plans to invest about 40,000 million dollars in the video game industry, with the aim of creating hundreds of companies and thousands of jobs from here to 2030.

We expected a storm this Friday in the northwest, what we did not expect is that it was so strong

by

The synopsis was clear: intense rainfall They were back To the Levante and the southeast of the Peninsula, but they were not going to last too much. However, Aemet It began to point out the possibility that, then, Another storm arrives For the Atlantic. What has changed in the last hours is that The “extreme traffic lights” just jump: Everything seems to indicate that what is going to arrive is a high impact storm that will bring extremely scrambled time. What will happen? At the atmospheric level, this storm will be developed this Friday and will begin to enter the west peninsular. On Saturday 8 we will see how a very active front will put all the predictions up. The key will be that, despite not being an atmospheric river, it is true that winds (Ábregos) will have a southern component and will be warmer even if they come loaded with moisture. That will boost storm. And at a practical level? Three things: bad sea, intense wind and many rainfall. We talk about wind gusts between 50 and 80 kilometers per hour. With hurricane winds in the country’s high areas. We will also see accumulated “abundant and persistent“With up to 150 liters per square meter throughout the western zone of the Peninsula. In addition, although as a consequence of the temperature rise the snow level will rise, the high areas can receive a good amount. But we have to talk about something else. Yes, it is true that everything indicates that a high impact storm will come (one that, presumably, will be called Jana), but that is not the big problem. The big problem is that it has been raining many days and the ability of the Earth to absorb water will not be very high. That means we will see floods and overflows in many zoans of the country. Something that, As Martín León points outit will become even more worrying when the following storms (which can arrive By the blocking anticyclone of northern Europe that is sending it to us) continue to take rain to already wet areas. And what was that “extreme traffic lights”? It is a way to call EFI (Extreme Forecast Index), the ECMWF model index that measures the rarity of a phenomenon. Well, EFI values ​​for March 8 They will be at maximum And that means that, whatever, this Saturday will be a very adverse day.

Nvidia has a very strong and not quite unexpected ally against Depseek: TSMC

by

Deepseek has convulsed the industry of the artificial intelligence (AI). The irruption of this free and open source Chinese model has questioned the need to use in training and inference processes Chips for very powerful and expensive. Like those designed by Nvidia, which leads with an unappealable roundness the hardware market for Ia. Even so, just ten days ago Deepseek caused Its market value fell abruptly. Since then the hardware used by this Chinese company has generated a lot of distrust. The Deepseek responsible argue that the infrastructure they have used to train their agglutin model 2,048 chips H800 of Nvidia. And that this process with 671,000 million parameters has cost 5.6 million dollars. However, some analysts defend that these figures do not reflect reality. The very juicy report prepared by SEMIANALYSIS He maintains that, in reality, the infrastructure used by Deepseek to train his AI model approximately 50,000 NVIDIA GPU with Hopper MicroAritecture. According to Dylan Patel, AJ Kourabi, Doug O’Laughlin and Reyk Knuhttsen, at least 10,000 of these chips are GPU H100 of Nvidia, and at least another 10,000 are GPU H800. The remaining chips, according to these analysts, are the cuts cut H20. The TSMC cowos packaging is a very strong support for Nvidia As we have just seen, at the current situation it is reasonable to have doubts about the hardware that Deepseek has used in the training of its model (in inference seems to be using the GPUs Ascend 910c of Huawei). And also about the real cost of this process, which could be much higher than the officially announced by this Chinese company. In any case, Depseek has poured uncertainty about the AI ​​market, and this is the reason why so many US technology companies have lost value. Whatever Nvidia has just received a very strong support from TSMC, which is the semiconductor manufacturer that produces its GPU. And is that, according to Digitimes Asiathis Taiwanese company has decided launch an expansion plan five years long for integrated circuit manufacturing capacity using its advanced cowos packaging technology (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate). According to Beth Kindigof the I/O Fund consultant, this technology will monopolize between 50 and 60% of the market in 2025 compared to 15% it supported during 2024. In 2024 TSMC he officially announced that he was building two cowos packaging plants in the town of Chiayi, housed in southern Taiwan The high demand for GPUs for AI with Blackwell MicroAritectura de Nvidia is largely responsible for the implementation of this plan. The company led by Jensen Huang can respond better to the needs of its customers and will see how its competitiveness is increased in a phase in which Depseek and other Chinese companies represent a challenge. In March 2024 TSMC officially announced which was building two cowos packaging plants in the town of Chiayi, housed in southern Taiwan. However, this is not all. He also shuffled the option to put a plant more specialized in this advanced packaging technology in Japan, presumably on the island of Kyushu, in which This company is building at the moment two semiconductor production plants of avant -garde. In any case, there is something else. And it is that Chiayi plants will be trained to work, in addition to the packaging cowos, with advanced Info and Soic technologies (System on Integrated Chips). It is evident that TSMC wants to cover your back well and look to the future to prevent its production capacity from being threatened by a bottleneck. An interesting note: currently the Cowos packaging is being used with the AMD Instinct Mi250 chips and with the A100, H100, H200, B100 and B200 NVIDIA GPUs, as well as in its derivatives. The review used in these last two chips, the B100 and B200, is known as Cowos-L. In 2025 TSMC will be able to process no less than 60,000 wafers per month using its advanced packaging technology.
