Top Story
- TSMC is to receive $6.6 billion in direct funding and $5 billion in loans under the CHIPS Act. (AnandTech)
In return, the company will be constructing a leading-edge 2nm fab in Arizona and increasing its total US fab investments to $65 billion.
So... Eh. Almost everything the government could do with your money, short of not taking it from you in the first place, would be worse.
Tech News
- Upcoming AMD and Intel CPUs will have less cache and more cash than originally planned. (WCCFTech)
Instead of using die space on memory, it's been reallocated to provide much faster AI units. Which, again, is not the worst thing in the world; you can use that extra compute power to do whatever you want, so long as it's low-precision arithmetic.
- Solidigm's new 60TB SSD... Basically just works. (Serve the Home)
Instead of having four 20TB 3.5" hard drives in RAID-5, you can use one 2.5" SSD, and get access times measured in microseconds rather than milliseconds.
At around $6000 it's not exactly cheap, though.
- San Francisco is upgrading its light rail system. (The Register)
From floppy disks.
Which aren't made anymore.
So probably a good idea.
- The Maiyunda M1 is a mini-PC with a difference. Two, in fact. (Liliputing)
At the front it has four quick-access drive bays - for M.2 SSDs.
At the back it has four 2.5Gb Ethernet ports.
And USB and HDMI and DisplayPort.
Apparently there's one more difficult-access M.2 slot and one memory slot.
It's available with Intel's N100 (four core) and N305 (eight core) Atom CPUs, starting at around $190.
Disclaimer: It does not support either 3.5" floppies or 2.5" SSDs though.
