sugar spice and everything nice those
are the ingredients needed for a healthy dose of tech News James
needs a little eye of Newt hey mister
Samsung and tsmc are planning a price hike on their semiconductors in the
coming years straight to jail a push that will see
costs increase by as much as 5 to 20 percent by 2023 the move will see the
chip Giants share the costs with consumers amidst a rising tide of
inflation during a global supply chain crisis hey who said sharing isn't caring
that means they love us tsmc has already seen its chip prices rise by 20 percent
last year and will look to add five to
eight percent on top of that by 2023 while Samsung plans to add about 15 to
20 percent Samsung and tsmc account for
more than two-thirds of global chip production and with manufacturing costs
Rising by an average of 30 across the board the semiconductor Giants are no
doubt trying to flex their Market leverage in order to turn a profit which
would seem totally respectable in a capitalist system you gotta feed they
gotta feed their kids I enjoy a good Flex if Samsung's Foundry hadn't just
reported its highest ever first quarter profit in 2022
it's like my grandmommy says if you want to play in the park you gotta pay the
Pied Piper Piper's precious price move

the successor to last year is eight gen one no plus now with 100 more plus to
the max that's that one way better
Qualcomm claims 10 faster CPU performance 10 faster GPU clock speed
and 30 more efficiency on the CPU and GPU while only an iterative upgrade the
8 plus gen 1 claims it can offer an average of one hour of extra gaming time
over last year's offering so you can ignore your family and friends for just
a little while longer in this economy peace what you need that
the chip maintains its four nanometer architecture though Qualcomm has swapped
foundries this time around like a jilted lover opting for tsmc's design instead
of Samsung's Hill has no fury like a Foundry score and watch out
literal magma qualcomm's decision to
jump ship to tsmc is reportedly due to their attempts to diversify its sources
