TSMC on track with 2nm process, gate-all-around (GAAFET) transistors will be used for the first time

0

The Taiwanese silicon giant has made a breakthrough in developing the finest silicon process nodes for its widest range of clients including AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, MediaTek and others. So, from developing the 7nm process or delivering the newer 5nm process, TSMC has been ruling with its highly efficient and powerful silicon nodes.

TSMC is currently working on 2nm process and as Gizchina reports, as per the Taiwan Economic Daily the Taiwan giant’s research and development has made a major breakthrough in developing 2nm nodes. The company remains optimistic that its risk trial production yield in the second half of 2023 could actually reach 90%. 

TSMC on track with 2nm process, gate-all-around (GAAFET) transistors will be used for the first time

Interestingly, TSMC will be discarding the mostly-used FinFET process to adopt the new multi-bridge channel field effect transistor (MBCFET) architecture based on the surround gate (GAA) process. This helps to solve the physical limit of the FinFET’s current control leakage due to process shrinkage, helping to stuff more transistors in a small area.

The GAA (Gate-all-around, around the gate) process adopted by TSMC is not their sole weapon as Samsung too will implement this process but on the 3nm process. The GAA technology introduced by Samsung is Multi-Bridge Channel FET (MBCFET), which is actually a multi-channel bridge fin with a plate-like structure.

TSMC on track with 2nm process, gate-all-around (GAAFET) transistors will be used for the first time

The GAA process also has different forms and the current four mainstream technologies are – nanowires, sheet-like structure multi-way bridging fins, hexagonal cross-section nanowires, and nanorings. Each has its own advanatages, while GAA can really help reduce power consumption while maintaining performance gains.

However, the cost of implementing GAA is also very high and the cost of the 28nm process used to cost $62.9 million, while the newer 5nm process surged to $476 million. Samsung even claims that the cost of its own 3nm process based GAA may exceed the $500 million mark.

A look at another special La Masia graduate: Ansu Fati joins Barcelona first team

0

It was recently announced that Ansu Fati would be a part of the first-team setup at Barcelona, and a recent contract renewal has seen him secured with a buyout clause of 400 million euros.

A breakthrough prospect in the 2019/20 season, Ansu Fati definitely made headlines for the right reasons. He made his debut in the 5-2 win over Real Betis and then weeks later, scored his first goal for the club against Osasuna. The expectation is that following last season, Ansu Fati will look to play a much more central role in Ronald Koeman’s team.

What makes Ansu Fati so special?

Well for starters, the youngster has incredible pace with close control on the ball. In most games, he has looked to stick mostly on the left side of the pitch. Dribbling past defenders is a common trait of his, once going past brilliantly against Dani Carvajal in a game against Real Madrid.

Another special skill of Fati is to understand the passing between midfielders, before adjusting his own game to make the runs behind the offside trap of the opposition defence. The fact that he is able to contribute defensively is a credit to the winger, a position generally not expected to do much of the dirty work when on the counter.

The knock-on effects of Suarez moving to Atletico Madrid means that Griezmann moves to the centre forward role. That opens up more opportunities for Ansu Fati on the left-wing, competing alongside Ousmane Dembele. And given the unfortunate injury record that the French winger holds, it would seem like Ansu Fati would play a much more prominent role rather than just making up the squad numbers and providing backup

We can well remember the last time a similar attacking jewel came out of La Masia. And if a certain Argentine was able to do well in the sport, one can trust Fati to do wonderful things for both club and country.

Microsoft and Qualcomm collaborate to improve Windows 10 Apps and Snapdragon processor compatibility

0

Microsoft revealed a deeper collaboration with Qualcomm technologies. This came after Microsoft announced its expansion of the Microsofts App Assure program. This collaboration is aimed to enhance the performance and app compatibility experience of windows 10 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon. It will also help both the companies to deliver superior user experience for enterprise customers running widows 10 on ARM64 devices.

Microsoft’s App Assure program was released in early 2019. It is designed to address any application compatibility issue on Windows 10. This program is available for free to customers, develops, and Independent software vendors (ISV’s), who qualify under the company’s 365 subscriptions.

The program was initially developed to help companies transfer apps to windows 10 and modernize them.

Any compatibility issue which arises would then be addressed by Microsoft. But this collaboration aims at expanding the service to ARM64 PC’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors.

A press statement released about the collaboration states, “Microsoft’s App Assure with FastTrack program is a service designed to help customers, developers, and independent software vendors address application compatibility issues, at no additional cost for qualifying customers. With this announced expansion, Microsoft commits to delivering exceptional experiences across Windows 10 devices powered by Snapdragon compute platforms, providing end-users with consistent application experiences. A focus of the program will be to engage vendors to deliver compatibility of Windows 10 apps on Snapdragon compute platforms so that users working anywhere can confidently use Windows 10 apps on Snapdragon-powered devices. This announcement is another milestone in redefining the mobile computing experience delivered by Snapdragon-powered PCs.”

The next-gen PC’s which will be powered by Qualcomm’s snapdragon will redefine the mobile computing experience in the upcoming years. This collaboration mainly focuses to deliver compatibility of windows 10 apps on the Snapdragon computer platform. This will allow the users to confidently run windows 10 apps on Snapdragon-powered devices.

“The consistent application compatibility of Windows 10 has been the reason for its worldwide adoption, and we’re proud to extend this compatibility promise to Windows 10 on ARM. Now our customers can have confidence that their business-critical applications will work on Snapdragon-powered Windows devices,” said Brad Anderson, CVP, Commercial Management Experiences, Microsoft.

The goal of the updated program is to “deliver superior user experiences for enterprise customers and consumers across Windows 10 on ARM64 devices, including the global Snapdragon-powered PC ecosystem.”

Hopefully, this means that more apps can now run natively on ARM64. The arm is a significant player in mobile computing. And windows 10 running powered by snapdragon is a hell of a combo.

IPL 2020: Dinesh Karthik defends Pat Cummins’ poor performance against Mumbai Indians

Day 6 of the IPL 2020 featured a clash of titans as Kolkata Knight Riders took on Mumbai Indians. The entire cricketing community was eager to watch the most expensive overseas purchase of the IPL, the Australian pacer Pat Cummins.

Cummins hasn’t shown his potential in the T20 circuit. However, he improved leaps and bounds over the years. Bowling alongside Mitchell Starc, he has made valuable contributions to the Australian national side. He also had valuable performances on important occasions like the 2015 WC, 2019 WC, and Ashes.

However, ‘Hitman’ and other MI batsmen had other plans. Sharma attacked Cummins right away by hitting him for two sixes in his first over. He passed the baton to Hardik Pandya and Saurabh Tiwary who distorted Cummins’ figures to 49 runs in three overs. He looked really rusty in his lengths as you never bowl short when Rohit Sharma is in form. He did attack Jasprit Bumrah while batting, hitting him for 4 sixes, however, it was too late.

Karthik defended Cummins

Skipper Dinesh Karthik defended his spear-head pace bowler. He believes the quarantine period affected the Aussie’s rhythm.

“It is very unfair to judge him (Cummins) right now. He is just off quarantine, (it is) at 3.30/4.00 PM when he got permission to come and play the match itself. We are just happy to have him and I don’t think this is a game where we need to judge him at all,” Karthik said at the post-match press conference.

“Just the fact that he is a world champion bowler, from whatever I have heard and seen he is one of the best going around in the world. I trust him and I’m sure, he will come good,” said Karthik.

Cummins was purchased by KKR for a massive sum of INR 15.5 crores! KKR has always been known for their explosive batting and spin bowling departments. Cummins was expected to add some steam to their pace bowling lineup and lead a young group of pacers.

Cummins can definitely bounce back. The quarantine period even made MS Dhoni feel lacklustre as he demoted himself to bat at No.7. Cummins will have to establish a rhythm and use tools like a slower one, yorker or a pacy bouncer towards the batsman’s helmet. Karthik can also experiment by giving him the new ball to work with.

Edouard Mendy completes £22m move to Chelsea as Lampard boosts goalkeeping department

0

It was a long time coming, but today afternoon saw Chelsea officially announce the signing of goalkeeper Edouard Mendy from Rennes, for an initially reported fee of £22m.

Mendy comes with a good reputation as a shot-stopper with great reflexes and passing ability. Having made close to 70 appearances for Reims and Rennes, he stands tall at a height of 1.97m – which will make him a commanding figure in front of the goal. He played a big part in the 9 clean sheets that the French club kept, en route their qualification to the Europa League.

This move, however, spells trouble for one player, and that is current Chelsea No. 1 Kepa Arrizzabalaga. Implicitly, manager Frank Lampard had made it clear that he does not trust the Spanish keeper between the sticks and so, would mean Mendy getting the requisite chances.

Last week’s error added on to a host of mistakes since joining the Premier League. Down 1-0 and playing with 10 men, Kepa passed the ball straight to Mane who slotted the ball comfortably to finish the game off for Liverpool. There have been constant questions over his rushing out technique as well as not coping with the pressure situations very well.

Mendy had a passing rate of 80% and last season, making an average of 1.6 saves per game. But his biggest challenge represents in the crude and physical style of English football. This is where Mendy needs to use his height advantage and properly communicate with the Chelsea defenders. Something that Kepa because of his relatively smaller figure has been failing to do so.

Another aspect is the massive shift from French football to the fast-paced Premier League. Forwards are sharpshooters with immense quality and Mendy’s reflexes will be put to the absolute limit. The onus is now on the Senegalese keeper to make the starting keeper spot his own, and it will be interesting to see whether he is cut out for the task.
