@jbz >It was Intel grant money, Patterson happily admits, that paid for the Berkeley architects to invent RISC-V in the first place. Without closed source, proprietary Big Tech, there’s no open source, free-for-all Little Tech. Don’t listen to the techno-hippies who claim otherwise; that’s always been the case.

Perhaps. But it doesn't *have* to be that way :) There are alternatives to finance capital. And even it traces much of its sustenance to generous state backing, something China seems to have learned and that the USA seems to have forgotten (if the anemic CHIPS act in the US is anything to go by).

Die Halbleiterlithografie, das Herstellungsverfahren für Computerchips, hat 70 Jahre alte Wurzeln. Ihre Entstehungsgeschichte ist so einfach, wie das heutige Verfahren komplex ist. (+)

t3n Magazin · Computerchips: Wie die Lithografie die komplexesten Maschinen der Menschheit hervorbrachte - t3n – digital pioneersDie Anfänge der Lithographie zahlten auf die Waffenproduktion ein, aber schnell erkannten Unternehmen ihr Potenzial für die zivile Elektronik. Heute gehören die Anlagen, mit denen aktuelle Chips hergestellt werden, zu den komplexesten Maschinen der Menschheit. Wenn wir heutzutage über Computer sprechen, sprechen wir in der Regel über Software und diejenigen, die sie schreiben. Aber ohne […]

Felix Salmon on MSNBC Live -

Trump's "announcement" that Invidia is now planning to make some of it's chips in the US is not an announcement - Invidia has been planning to do so for months already. But it's a very difficult thing to do and no one knows when or even if it will happen. Right now #Invidia gets it's chips from #Taiwan.*

Me:
Once again, Trump is spreading disinfo, trying to take false credit.

The same place #China gets it's #chips from, BTW.

#Trump absolutely hated the #CHIPS act for two reasons. 1. #Biden did it. 2. It worked.
So of course he wanted to nuke it. Same thing with #Obamacare

The #MAGA goal was to make people ⭕perceive Congress AND Biden were doing ZERO ACTION.
So anything Trump does as President is "good" even, raising costs from #tariffs

⭕But we WILL ACT, this Nov 2026 in the #midterms

The people are happy that the TARIFFS are at least some change, some action. They must of perceived Congress AND Biden as doing ZERO ACTION. So... anything Trump does is "good" ⁉️ ⭕️Story 2 is also very good. Over 3,000 people killed and the govt of My An Mar doesn't care.

Compared with the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3, the new 8s Gen 4 chip promises a 31% CPU boost, 49% faster graphics, and 44% faster AI. But it uses Qualcomm's older Kryo CPU cores rather than the Oryon cores found in the Snapdragon 8 Elite. #Qualcomm #Chips #Snapdragon8sGen4 gsmarena.com/qualcomm_snapdrag

Splann ! Lanceur d'enquêtes

Près de la moitié des paquets de chips vendus en France sortent de ses usines. 👀

Chez Altho Brets, l’appétit vient en grignotant. L'entreprise contrôlée par le Breton Alain Glon agrandit son site historique de Saint-Gérand, près de Pontivy (56). Ce chantier, qui bénéficie d'aides publiques, inquiète des défenseurs de l'environnement. 1/

Les chips Brets, un empire qui crispe en Bretagne

Utilisation de pesticides, accaparement de la ressource en eau... La culture de #PommesDeTerre pour la fabrication de #chips est sous le feu des critiques. Mais leur consommation ne cesse d’augmenter, à tel point que l’usine bretonne de la société Altho, qui détient la marque Brets, est en train de construire une nouvelle unité.
