Taiwan has proposed a strategic tech alliance with the U.S., known as the "Taiwan Model," to facilitate Taiwanese companies' investments in America while keeping chip production in Taiwan. The alliance would involve export credit guarantees, investment insurance, and knowledge-sharing on science park development. Taiwan aims to reduce tariffs, ease visa procurement, and simplify land acquisition for Taiwanese nationals in the U.S. despite its commitment to keeping cutting-edge production within its borders. The proposal has received a positive response from U.S. officials, signaling potential progress in bilateral tech cooperation.

Intel's upcoming Xeon 7 "Diamond Rapids" server CPUs reportedly delayed to 2027 — Next-gen Coral Rapids lineup lands 2028 but can be accelerated, according to new leak

Intel's Xeon 7 "Diamond Rapids" server CPUs have been delayed to 2027, with the 8-channel variant canceled in favor of focusing on 16-channel SKUs. The lineup will feature up to 256 cores initially, with a 512-core version to follow shortly after. Diamond Rapids will lack hyperthreading support, unlike the next-gen Coral Rapids lineup, which is expected to launch in mid-2028 with 8-channel variants. Intel may accelerate the rollout of Coral Rapids based on market demand. AMD's EPYC Venice CPUs are still on track for a 2026 release.

US gov't blocks China's largest LED chipmaker's $239 million bid to acquire Dutch lighting firm Lumileds — US blocks acquisition attempt of European firm

The US government has blocked China's largest LED chipmaker, Sanan Optoelectronics, from acquiring Dutch lighting firm Lumileds for $239 million due to national security risks related to Lumileds' GaN chip technology. This marks the second time in a decade that a Chinese bid for Lumileds has been thwarted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The concern lies in Lumileds' GaN chips, which have military applications, prompting CFIUS to prevent the acquisition. Sanan's failed bid comes amidst governance issues at the company, including the detention of its founder and a significant drop in market capitalization.
