Intel's next-gen manufacturing process is reportedly still struggling

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-05 20:41:46

Intel is reportedly still struggling with a chipmaking process crucial to its future. Reuters reports that the company's 18A process is still producing low yields and high defect rates. Intel has invested billions of dollars in the manufacturing process, on which it's pinned its hopes of gaining ground on TSMC. This isn't the first concerning news about 18A. Last year, a report stated that Broadcom was unhappy with the results of a test run for a potential order. However, Intel insisted at the

Report: Intel struggles with new 18A process as it cuts workers and cancels projects

Intel has a lot riding on "18A," its next-generation manufacturing process for silicon chips that the company claims will help it catch up to the lead that competitors like TSMC have built up over the last few years. With 18A, Intel would return to manufacturing its own processor designs in its own factories, including the upcoming Series 3 Core Ultra chips for laptops (codenamed Panther Lake), after manufacturing parts of all other Core Ultra chips with TSMC.

Diet Swap Study Reveals How Ultra-Processed Foods Can Derail Weight Loss

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-12-08 05:10:37

In case you needed more incentive to cut down on ultra-processed foods, a new diet swap study out today reveals that people experienced greater weight loss while eating minimally processed foods than they did when they ate a nutritionally similar, ultra-processed diet. In a six-month trial led by scientists at University College London, study participants were assigned one of the two diet regimes to follow for eight weeks, and then took a four week break before swapping to the other diet for an

Mastercard denies pressuring game platforms, Valve tells a different story

The outcry after a recent marketplace crackdown on games with adult content, seemingly due to pressure from payment processors, prompted Mastercard to release a brief statement Friday pushing back against recent headlines. “Mastercard has not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms, contrary to media reports and allegations,” the company said, adding, “At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard

Itch.io Is Restoring NSFW Games—as Long as They’re Free

wired.com Megan Farokhmanesh 2025-12-11 10:24:16

On Thursday, indie gaming platform Itch.io began re-indexing some of the adult content it had delisted last month amid pressure from conservative groups and payment processors over its hosting of NSFW titles. While the move returns some content to the site’s searchable catalog, it impacts only those games, comics, and other offerings that are already free and therefore not caught in the current payment debacle. “We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be reintroduci

Drawing for the New Yorker

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, and occasionally, as a gravel for road construction.

The barrier to entry for writing general debugging tools for Python programs has always been quite low. Unlike many languages, you're rarely finding yourself working with weird internals.
