As of December 23, 2025, the global race for artificial intelligence supremacy has shifted from a battle over transistor counts to a desperate scramble for physical space and thermal relief. While the industry spent the last decade focused on shrinking logic gates, the primary constraints of 2025 are no longer the chips themselves, but how [...]
As of December 2025, the semiconductor industry has reached a historic inflection point. For decades, the primary metric of progress was the "node"—the relentless shrinking of transistors to pack more power into a single slice of silicon. However, as physical limits and skyrocketing costs have slowed traditional Moore’s Law scaling, the focus has shifted from [...]
The relentless pursuit of greater computational power for artificial intelligence is driving a fundamental transformation in semiconductor manufacturing, with advanced packaging and lithography emerging as the twin pillars supporting the next era of AI innovation. As traditional silicon scaling, often referred to as Moore's Law, faces physical and economic limitations, these sophisticated technologies are not [...]
