What caught our eye? Taiwan styling itself as 'AI island' at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Ubitium developing a universal embedded Risc-V processor, and RFA moving closer to SaxaVord Spaceport launches...
Embedded World: Six Taiwanese companies gathered at the Taiwan pavilion to promote the island as a manufacturing partner and a hub for AI. Adlink, Advantech, Asus, DFI, iBase and Nexcom all presented AI-related products. Adlink presented compact COM modules, embedded systems and multi-GPU servers for industrial deployments. Advantech showed its edge AI acceleration, robotics and vertical-ready platforms, Asus presented ruggedised edge ...
In December, for the first time in at least 40 years, Taiwan exported more goods to the US than China as the effect of US tariffs started to kick in. In December, US imports from Taiwan were nearly $24.7 billion, up from about $20.3 billion in November, data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis showed. US imports from China ...
Presenting the trends in 360° mobility, including automotive and aftermarket, EVs and motorcycles. The conference combines an exhibition with product displays, seminars, business meetings, and networking opportunities to establish e-mobility collaboration and business models.
Fraunhofer and the Taiwanese research institute TSRI are developing ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) made from hafnium oxide to produce energy efficient memory ICs. A key bottleneck in datacentres is the transfer of data between main memory and the computing unit. FeFETs will enable computing “directly in memory”, with lower latency and energy consumption. “We are designing a platform that more ...
TSMC is to up its number of 2nm fabs in Taiwan to ten, reports Liberty Times. Previously it had planned seven 2nm fabs for Taiwan. Two of the ten are at the Baoshan site in Hsinchu; five at Kaohsiung and the additional three in Tainan. In the US, TSMC is building a three fab cluster which will all be 2nm ...
Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) are to co-operate on R&D, personnel exchanges and co-development of emerging technologies in semiconductor measurement standards. The agreement follows the establishment of ITRI’s UK Office in May and its partnership with the Catapult Network. ITRI kicked off Taiwan’s involvement in the semiconductor industry by negotiating a licensing ...
Apple’s entry into the folding phone market is the long-awaited catalyst that smartphone makers hope will spark consumer acceptance of the format. At the moment folding phones make up only 1.6% of the market, according to TrendForce. Apple’s entry into the market, which is expected in the second half of 2026, is forecast to raise folding phone penetration to over ...
The Taiwan government intends to pass a law by the end of this year saying that only technology that is one generation behind the leading edge can be exported, reports the Taiwan newspaper The Economic Daily. The new law will allow the Taiwan government to reject foreign investment applications which will export leading edge technology. In March TSMC announced it ...
Chunghwa Telecom of Taiwan is partnering with San Francisco-based Astranis to bring a dedicated microGEO satellite to support Taiwanese communications. The satellite will launch by the end of 2025, with full bandwidth availability next year. It will be the first communications satellite ever exclusively dedicated to Taiwan. It will provide a real-time backup amid “evolving global uncertainties”, says Astranis. Specifically, ...
