In context: The semiconductor industry has been getting a lot of attention at the macro and micro levels. From a big picture perspective, the shortages facing automakers and other industries have elevated chip-related stories to being a regular part of the evening news. On top of that, there’s been a great deal of focus on the geopolitical issues related to the supply chains, not only of the chip business, but of all the businesses that have become so dependent on a reliable semiconductor supply. At a more detailed intra-industry level, there’s also been a great deal of scrutiny applied to the competitive landscape. In particular, there’s been a lot of focus recently on the ongoing challenges that long-time industry leader Intel has been facing in manufacturing and other areas. Toss in the recent announcement of former Intel leader Pat Gelsinger coming back to the chip giant as CEO, and it seems the stage was nearly perfectly set for some blockbuster news on how the Gelsinger-led … [Read more...] about Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger doubles down on manufacturing, opens up foundry, shifts on strategy

We will leave Church’s global body if it endorses same-sex marriage – United Methodist Church
Kindly Share This Story: The United Methodist Church Episcopal Area in Nigeria (UMCN) says it will leave the Church’s global body if it endorses same-sex marriage at its 2022 General Conference.

The Bishop said as a cleric who understands the operations of the Church, it was impossible to be one Church yet preach different understandings of marriage. “It is not possible to be a global United Methodist Church that teaches and practices sex orientation differently in America and in Africa.

Intel Wants to Revive US Chipmaking—but It Has to Catch Up First
Intel's plans, announced Tuesday, to spend $20 billion to build new chip-making factories aimed to show that the company, and the US, are serious about regaining global leadership in a crucial technology. But the news also highlighted how far Intel, and the US, have fallen behind. As part of its plan, Intel said it would open its factories more widely to make chips for other companies, highlighting its manufacturing expertise and ambition. But at the same time, Intel said it would outsource production of some of its most advanced chips to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. TSMC is ahead of Intel in using extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) to put more computer power on a chip by squeezing transistors closer together. “It's good news for the United States that Intel is doubling down on its manufacturing business,” says Saif Khan , a research fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology . “Chip manufacturing is a key source of US … [Read more...] about Intel Wants to Revive US Chipmaking—but It Has to Catch Up First
