Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Will the chip shortage ever end?”.
Sugar spice and everything nice., Those are the ingredients needed for a healthy dose of tech. News James., (, slurps, ) Mmm. Needs a little eye of newt. [ James ], (, laughs, ), Hey mister., Samsung and TSMC are planning a price hike on their semiconductors in the coming years.. [ James ] Collusion, ( giggles ) Straight to jail.
A push that will see costs increased by as much as five to 20 % by 2023.. The move will see the chip giants, share the costs with consumers amidst a rising tide of inflation during a global supply chain. Crisis., Hey, who said, sharing, isn’t caring. That means they love.
Us. TSMC has already seen its chip prices rise by 20 % last year and will look to add five to 8 % on top of that by 2023, while Samsung plans to add about 15 to 20 %, ( sighs, ), Samsung and TSMC account for more than Two thirds of global chip production. And with manufacturing costs rising by an average of 30 % across the board. The semiconductor giants are no doubt trying to flex their market leverage in order to turn a profit.
Which would seem totally respectable in a capitalist system.. They got ta feed their kids. [ James ].
I enjoy a good flex. If Samsung’s Foundry hadn’t just reported its highest ever first quarter, profit in 2022., (, sighs ). It’S like my grandmommy says “.
If you wan na play in the park, you got ta pay. The piper’s precious price.” [ James ], Oh my grandma Priscilla. Qualcomm, has announced its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, the successor to last year’s 8 Gen 1, no plus., Now, with 100 %, more plus.
To the max. ( laughs ). That would’ve been way better. Gen 1.
Max Qualcomm claims 10 % faster CPU performance, 10 %, faster GPU clock, speed and 30 % more efficiency on the CPU and GPU., While only in iterative upgrade the 8 Plus Gen 1 claims. It can offer an average of one hour of extra gaming time over last year’s offering., So you can ignore your family and friends for just a little while longer. In this economy.
Peace.. What [ James ] You need. That. (, giggles ).
The chip maintains its four nanometer architecture, though Qualcomm has swapped Foundries this time around, like a jilted lover. Opting for TSMC’s design instead of Samsung’s. Hell, has no fury like a Foundry scorn. Watch out.
[ James ], Literal magma. Qualcomm’s decision to jump ship to TSMC is reportedly due to their attempts to diversify its sources, opting to not put all of their eggs in one basket. Who puts their eggs in a basket anyway.
Mine come in a bag. And they’re very heavily binned.. Canada has finally decided to ban Huawei equipment from their 5G networks amid growing concerns of cyber espionage by the Chinese.
Government.. The true north, strong and free has exercised some of that freedom by disallowing wireless carriers from obtaining any new 5G or 4G equipment by September of this year and must remove all Huawei equipment from their networks. By June 28th, 2024. [ James ] See you on Craigslist.
( giggles ). The government is also placing a ban on ZTE. Another Chinese owned telecoms company, citing security. Concerns. Telecoms will be given a period of grace, which is a great word to use when speaking about cyber warfare and security up until December 31st, 2027 to remove all 4G equipment. [ James ] ( blows raspberry ), That’s way past the apocalypse., ( laughs, ), We’re Gon na be dead by then. In banning Huawei equipment. Canada joins America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, also known as The Five Eyes Alliance, which is an intelligent sharing, organization.
And surprisingly, not a justice league spinoff, team. [ James ], The Five Eyes.. You hear that guys It’s our way or the Huawei. ( giggles ). Now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by NIU maker of high performance, smart e-scooters for those on the go and even those not on the go, because they don’t have a high performance. Smart e-scooter, yet., Yet., Ah NIU, offers a two year warranty a super wide deck for extra foot.
Space wide handle bars for better steering and controls and a safe breaking system for peace of mind. NIU is available in over 50 countries, and its riders have ridden over 7 billion miles. Congrats guys. Hey.
You can join them and get up to $ 150 off NIU’s, KQi3 and KQi2 Kick Scooters at the link. Below. [ James ] Needs more eye of newt.. Look Newton and Einstein were smart, but did they have any quick bits? Probably not.? They probably didn’t even have..
They probably didn’t even have any. [ James ], Not even slow, bits. Framework’s, fully modular repair friendly laptop, has just been updated to Intel’s 12th-gen Alder Lake CPUs.. The laptop is available as a DIY kit for those of you who are into adult Legos or as a pre-built configuration.
If laziness is your greatest virtue. [ James ], An S on Lego Legos., Oh I stepped on some Legos ouchie.. You can also bring existing components over from a previous model, which is great if you’re into right to repair and saving the whales.. That’S one less ram.
Stick inside of a dolphin’s blow hole. [ James ]. They support quad-channel., That’s bad image., Pebble’s, Smart Watch, co-founder Eric Migicovsky wants to make small Android phones. Great again. Thank you., He’s launched. Smallandroidphone.Com makes sense. An attempt to rally the small phone enthusiasts in an effort to put pressure on the likes of Google or Samsung, or anybody really to help produce a premium. Small phone.
There’s nothing wrong with having a small phone.. Everybody at my gym tells me my phone is completely average-sized.. I don’t appreciate it. The ethical hackers. Competition Pwn2Own is happening this week and there’s been a healthy dose of both pwning and owning taking place.. So far, the talented cybersecurity competitors have showcased their skills in exploiting and cracking different software. With Microsoft. Taking the brunt of a bad first day.
Windows 11 was breached twice. While Microsoft Teams was penetrated, three times. Yeah Stop it.. The highest reported bounty came in at a staggering $ 150,000 mamma mia., And that’s why you never leave your windows unlocked at night..
You never know who’s lurking with a step ladder or a stable wifi. Connection. HP’s new Spectre x360 has launched today and HP has gone Intel. All the way..
The Premium and Spectre line which previously came coupled with an Iris or Nvidia offering in the graphics department, has now become the first laptops to bring Intel’s Arc A370M to any market outside of South Korea.. That’S right.. The Arc is no longer just a meme., For the Arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice. And Amazon’s.
Trying a new approach on marketing its new sci-fi series. “ Night Sky”. The company has asserted that earthbound shows are just too passe and has decided to beam the first episode of its new show to infinity and beyond., Where aliens can finally enjoy some quality human entertainment. From the most middling streaming service.
[ James ], Yay space noise.. The signal will be broadcast at ranges of 384,000 kilometers away from the earth, so you’re unlikely to receive the broadcast on Kepler-7. But it’s a heartwarming change from the usual frigid emptiness and endless despair of space. [ James ]. They got it good out. There.
No they’re. Probably sad. And don’t despair just because this episode is over because there’ll be more on Monday., So make sure to book your flights back from Nebulon-9. The long weekend is busy. Trust me. And you got ta go through the slime.
Airlock. Get outta here. ( slurps )! No .
