US stops exports of tools to China’s number two chip maker — Hua Hong and Huali Microelectronics reportedly on the cusp of starting a 7-nm fab in Shanghai

The US Department of Commerce has instructed toolmakers to cease exports to Hua Hong, China's second-largest chipmaker, which is gearing up to establish a 7-nm production line in Shanghai. This move is part of the US strategy to impede China's semiconductor self-sufficiency efforts. Companies like TSMC and ASML have also faced restrictions in providing advanced services to Chinese tech firms. The ban on exports could strain US-China relations, impacting both Chinese companies' progress and potential losses for American toolmakers.

More details emerge about how Intel now earns more revenue from each wafer by looking to the edges — analyst reports say reduced yield variability across each wafer leads to more sellable CPUs

Intel has seen improved revenue per wafer by reducing yield variability across each wafer, resulting in more sellable CPUs. The company's focus on tightening yield distribution across the wafer edges has led to increased margins and productivity. By implementing edge-specific process correction methods, Intel can extract more high-quality and sellable dies from a single wafer. These improvements are node-independent and have been attributed to disciplined execution improvements under new manufacturing leadership. Intel's efforts have led to better output and demand for CPUs, with even lower-quality chips now being sold as viable products.
