Applied Materials on Tuesday released its first major update to some of its core semiconductor manufacturing equipment in more than decade, aiming to boost the number of chips factories can make while using less energy. The new system, called Vistara, is a central hub inside chip factories that feeds silicon discs called wafers into sealed vacuum chambers, where metals and other materials can be either deposited or stripped away within a few atoms of precision. Applied Materials announced the new system at a chipmaking conference in San Francisco.

Samsung Electronics Co Ltd reported a likely 96% plunge in second-quarter operating profit on Friday, as an ongoing chip glut drives large losses in the tech giant's key business despite a supply cut.

David Lazovsky and Preet Virk, technologists with backgrounds in semiconductor engineering and photonics, came to the joint realization several years ago that AI and machine learning workloads would quickly encounter a "data movement" problem. Increasingly, they predicted, it would become challenging to move data to and from compute hardware as AI models scaled past what could be kept on the die of any one memory chip. Along with Winterbottom, Lazovsky and Virk founded a startup, Celestial AI, to commercialize the tech.
