Sinology | Moment | Getty Images With the U.S. restricting China from buying advanced semiconductors used in artificial intelligence development, Beijing is placing hopes on domestic alternatives such as Huawei. The task has been made more challenging by the fact that U.S. curbs not only inhibit China's access to the world's most advanced chips, but also restrict availing technology vital for c

Nvidia's first GPU was made in France — Macron wants the country to produce cutting edge chips again

Jensen Huang, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp., left, and Emmanuel Macron, France's president at the 2025 VivaTech conference in Paris, France, on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday made a pitch for his country to manufacture the most advanced chips in the world, in a bid to position itself as a critical tech hub in Europe. The comments come as European tech companies and countries are reassessing their reliance on foreign technology f

IBM announces new quantum processor, plan for Starling supercomputer by 2029

Parts of the IBM Quantum System Two are seen at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, on June 6, 2025. IBM on Tuesday announced a roadmap to develop a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer called Quantum Starling. Part of the company's plan involves the new IBM Quantum Nighthawk processor, which is set to release later this year, according to a blog post announcing the details. "Unlocking the full promise of quantum computing will require a device capable

Tech pioneer who accelerated internet speeds receives prestigious IEEE Medal

"Today, I don't know anybody who can say they know what artificial intelligence is going to bring us in five years, let alone one year or two years," says Henry Samueli, a pioneer in digital modem technology and recipient of the IEEE's 2025 Medal of Honor. Tiernan Ray/ZDNET In the early days of the consumer internet, most access was via a dial-up modem, a device hooked up to a phone line that transmitted requests for web pages via squeaks and squawks like someone yelling into the line.

Apple Is Probably Planning to Make Its Own WiFi Chip For the iPhone 17

Apple rumors keep the world turning. Some people might say it’s gravity, but it’s Apple. Forget the Farmer’s Almanac; most farming relies on the iPhone release schedule. The iPhone 16e was revealed yesterday and brought a new future for Apple’s hardware, one where it makes all of its cellular chips. The iPhone 16e debuted the C1 modem, its first ever homemade, bespoke, perfectly spiced 5G chip. Reports today tell us that there are more chips on the way. The iPhone 17, expected much later this y

Microsoft Says It's Made a Major Quantum Computing Breakthrough With New Chip

The race to shape the future of computing is heating up among tech companies, with Microsoft saying on Wednesday it has made a major breakthrough in quantum computing, potentially paving the way for the technology to address complex scientific and societal challenges. Scientists at the tech giant have spent 17 years developing a new material and framework for quantum computing to help power its new Majorana 1 processor. Microsoft is calling the advancement the world's first quantum processor po

Does Apple’s C1 chip mean mmWave 5G is dead?

Apple achieved a major milestone yesterday, when it launched an iPhone with its own in-house modem instead of a Qualcomm one: the C1 chip. This has been a key goal for the company for a great many years for two reasons, so finally ticking the box is a pretty big moment … The twin benefits of the C1 chip As we noted yesterday, ditching a Qualcomm modem for the C1 is a double-win for Apple. First, Qualcomm’s fee structure, which Apple has long considered unfair. When Apple bought modem chips f

iPhone 16e has a binned version of the A18 chip – but what does that mean?

The new iPhone 16e, which was announced by Apple earlier today, features the A18 chip. In theory, this is the same chip that powers the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. However, as already reported by 9to5Mac, there is a slight difference in the chip inside the iPhone 16e, which suggests that Apple is using a binned chip in the less expensive model. But what exactly does this mean? What is a binned chip? Before the iPhone 16e, there were already two different versions of the A18 chip. One of them

Microsoft deploys new state of matter in its first quantum computing chip

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that building Majorana 1 required that it create an entirely new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state. Microsoft's quantum chip employs eight topological qubits using indium arsenide, which is a semiconductor, and aluminum, which is a superconductor. "The difficulty of developi
