The competition among VR head-mounted devices (HMDs) has grown fiercer since the introduction of the Metaverse concept and pancake lenses, which can satisfy demand for an ultra-slim design, improve image quality, and support vision correction functionality, are becoming the mainstream optical solution for new VR HMDs, according to DIGITIMES Researchs new study on VR products.

Various satellite projects and applications have been increasingly thriving, which leads to a huge amount of data transmission and processing. Such business opportunities attract cloud juggernauts including Amazon, Microsoft, and Google to justle for the space market.

The shortages of automotive chips have been improving since the fourth quarter of 2022, while Teslas plan to significantly cut its SiC consumption is unlikely to undermine the SiC product markets potential, according to DIGITIMES Researchs findings.

The companies that participated at Taipei International Machine Tool Show (TIMTOS) 2023, which was hosted from March 6-11, primarily focused on showcasing innovations revolving around three major themes: eco-friendly designs, digital twin, and automation, according to DIGITIMES Researchs observations of the show.

With the US-China trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic driving companies to diversify their production lines to different parts of the world to avoid risks after 2020, Malaysia has also become one of the targets for international first-tier IT companies to make investments in, but wafer manufacturing and semiconductor packaging and testing remain the key investment projects for the companies, according to DIGITIMES Researchs latest study on Malaysias semiconductor industry.

Introduction

Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the dominant sources of carbon emissions. Vast amounts of power are required to manufacture the chips. Most discussion about the methods to limit global warming focuses on reducing the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG). How do leading chip makers boost their sustainability and minimize the climate impact at the same time?

AMD and Arm have been gaining up on Intel in the server CPU market in the past few years, and the margins of the share that AMD had won over were especially large in 2022 as datacenter operators and server brands began finding that solutions from the number-2 maker growing superior to those of the long-time leader, according to Frank Kung, DIGITIMES Research analyst focusing primarily on the server industry, who anticipates that AMDs share will well stand above 20% in 2023, while Arm will get 8%...

As the US rallies Japan and the Netherlands to tighten up semiconductor export controls against China, the world has been trying to estimate the extent of damage done to the Chinese semiconductor industry, especially to Chinas leading foundry Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC)
