This May, we have witnessed two different approaches to the new High-NA EUV (high-numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet) lithography equipment between semiconductor giants. Intel has secured the first batch of High-NA EUV kits from ASML, which will allegedly be used on its 18A (1.8nm) and 14A (1.4n...

On May 20th, Intel announced that the release date for its next-generation processor, Lunar Lake, has been moved up, with official shipments expected in the third quarter. The NPU performance is set to reach 45 TOPS. However, per a report from Economic Daily News, the industry is puzzled by the fact...

Intel's early adoption of ASML's High Numerical Aperture Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (High-NA EUV) equipment is seen by many as a crucial move for Intel to reclaim its technological leadership. Yet, according to a report from CNA, industry sources cited in the report have warned that the high co...

According to a report from global media outlet Wccftech, China's largest foundry, SMIC, is rumored to produce 5-nanometer chips for Huawei this year, without the need for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines manufactured by Dutch company ASML. As per a report by Businesskorea, SMIC seem...

According to sources cited by a report from Economic Daily News, TSMC's A16 advanced process node might not necessarily require ASML's latest advanced chip manufacturing equipment, the High Numerical Aperture Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (High-NA EUV), due to its expensive price. Per a report ...
