When Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. outlined plans to build a fab in the U.S., it set a rather modest production capacity goal of around 20,000 wafer starts per month (WSPM). Nowadays chipmakers tend to build larger fabs in a bid to minimize their costs per wafer. But according to a new unconfirmed report via UDN the company might be planning several phases of expansions for its Arizona plant. UDN this week reported that internal rumors at TSMC intends to build not one, but 'six fabs in the Arizona plant area' in a bid to expand the site to the so-called 'MegaFab-class' facility. TSMC naturally does not comment on unannounced plans. Furthermore, it is uncommon for chip producers to share strategic plans outside of top management. This does not mean that the report is completely baseless. Based on TSMC's classification, a MegaFab has capacity of around 25,000 WSPM, so its planned facility in Arizona can already be called a MegaFab, which is why its 'expansion' to … [Read more...] about TSMC Rumored to Increase Capacity of Arizona Fab

High-speed internet has made it easy and economical for millions of people to “cut the cord” and ditch traditional cable or satellite TV subscriptions in favor of online streaming services. But due to regional broadcasting restrictions, sports fans have had to wait a while to enjoy on-demand content. Movies and TV shows have been readily available on services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime for almost a decade now, and today’s 4K smart TVs even come with built-in internet connectivity and pre-loaded streaming apps — but only recently have services like ESPN+ , FuboTV, Sling, and Hulu done the same thing for live-action sports like the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

While we still don’t have an Intel Rocket Lake-S Core i9-11900K CPU to use for testing, Intel Z590 boards have been rolling in. So while we await benchmark results, we’ll be walking in detail through the features of these brand-new boards. First up on our bench was the ASRock Z590 Steel Legend 6E Wi-Fi , followed by the Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Master and Gigabyte’s Z590 Vision G . Today, we take a close look at the MSI MEG Z590 Ace. We’ll have to wait for benchmark results, though, to see if it deserves a spot on our best motherboards list. The latest version of the Ace board features robust power delivery, four M.2 sockets, a premium audio codec and more. The new Ace also has updated styling on the heatsink and shrouds while still keeping the black with gold highlights theme from the previous generation. Emblazoned on the rear IO is the MSI Dragon (with RGB LEDs) and the Ace name (no lighting). We don’t have an exact price for the MEG Z590 Ace. However, the Z490’s … [Read more...] about MSI MEG Z590 Ace Review: New Ace in Town

It may have a name that sounds like a 1960s spy plane, but the Geniatech XPI-3288 is a single board computer which looks like it has just stepped out of the Raspberry Pi factory, but it has a few differences that make it stand out from the crowd. Image 1 of 4 Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4 Measuring the same as a Raspberry Pi 4, 3.3 x  2.2 inches (85 x 56mm), the XPI-3288 looks very similar to the Pi, in fact the placement of the four USB 2.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet is the same as the Raspberry Pi 3B. Powering the board is an Rockchip RK3200 SoC which features a quad core Arm Cortex A17 running at up to 1.6 GHz and a Mali-T764 GPU. What is different to a Raspberry Pi is onboard eMMC flash storage, available in 8, 16 and 32GB capacities and a decidedly "tacked on" optional WiFi jack which covers part of the CPU and prevents the easy use of heatsinks to cool the unit. The WiFi Jack appears to have a PCB antenna, but there are also breakouts for … [Read more...] about Geniatech Launches XPI-3288 Raspberry Pi Alternative
