NVIDIA RTX 50-Series GPUs Could See Another 20-30% Price Hike in 2026
We've previously reported on expected price increases for NVIDIA GPU kits that the company sells to OEMs, thanks to the AI boom and its resulting impact on the DRAM supply chain. Now, thanks to a report by Taiwanese publication, Economic Daily Times, it's been revealed that NVIDIA's price hike could see consumers paying up to 20-30% more for their GPUs.
This is the third price hike for NVIDIA in 2026, and it's important to note that the

TSMC Develops EMIB-like Technology to Compete with Intel
TSMC is reportedly developing an advanced packaging technology to rival Intel's Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB), which the company internally refers to as EMIB-like. According to sources close to The Information, TSMC's Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS) packaging might lose some customers to Intel's EMIB. As a result, TSMC has begun developing its EMIB-like technology. This development will reportedly be supported by Taiwan's Kinsus Interconnect Technology, which will assist TSMC

TSMC's 1.4 nm Fab Set for Completion by April 2027
TSMC's 1.4 nm fab for its A14 node is currently under construction, and according to Taiwan's Commercial Times, the project is expected to be completed by April 2027. This is an impressive timeline for TSMC, which began construction of Taichung Phase II in the expansion area of the Central Taiwan Science Park. If everything goes according to plan, this will allow TSMC to scale the A14 node and start trial production late next year, with mass production set to commence

Intel's "Atom" CPU Technology Finds New Home at RosaicLabs
According to Reuters, Intel has shared access to its renowned "Atom" CPUs with a startup called RosaicLabs Inc. This means Intel will be transferring some of its in-house intellectual property to a third party, a rare occurrence in the semiconductor industry. Specifically, the register-transfer level (RTL) code that defines each CPU part, which is later turned into the actual silicon, will be licensed to Rosaic. Intel's Atom CPU line runs on the x86-64 instruction set. Historically

(PR) Diverging Memory Market Outlook in 2027 as DRAM Supply Remains Tight While NAND Flash Supply Conditions Ease
TrendForce's latest research on the memory industry reveals that AI will remain the primary driver of memory demand in 2027. However, market dynamics are expected to diverge between DRAM and NAND Flash.
On the DRAM side, continued HBM capacity allocation, robust AI server demand, and growing procurement of CPU memory and HBM are expected to keep supply constrained and prices on an upward trajectory. By contrast, NAND Flash is projected to enter a looser supply environment in 2H27 as new production capacity comes online
