GM and Rivian cut jobs amid EV market uncertainty
The big picture: With federal incentives ended, EV automakers are monitoring demand, recalibrating production, and weighing further adjustments amid shifting policies and renewed global competition. At the same time, newly forged trade agreements and planned industry investment suggest that some of the current downsizing may be reversed as markets adjust and manufacturers launch new models.

Intel can't spin up 18A fast enough, so Intel 7 is now the new CPU bottleneck
Intel is stuck on yesterday's tech while it waits for tomorrow's
TL;DR: Intel's next-generation 18A process, its most advanced manufacturing technology, is ramping up more slowly than expected. Until it reaches high-volume production, the company's heavily utilized Intel 7 lines will continue to constrain output for both client and data center chips. In the meantime, Intel is prioritizing higher-margin server processors to offset supply limitations and preserve profitability.

Aiming for Atoms: The Art of Making Chips Smaller
In the realm of computer chips, bigger numbers are often better: more cores, higher GHz, greater FLOPs. But there's one metric where smaller is better. Enter the world of semiconductors and process nodes.
TSMC pushes 2 nm manufacturing ahead of schedule, fast-tracks Arizona buildout
Something to look forward to: TSMC is moving faster than expected to bring its most advanced chip technology to market. The company confirmed that its N2 process node will enter volume production before the end of 2025, as it accelerates both its domestic rollout in Taiwan and a parallel push to deploy the same technology at its Arizona site.
Memory and storage prices will only get worse, Adata CEO says
Rising AI demand pushes up prices for DRAM, NAND, SSDs, and HDDs
The big picture: Multiple manufacturers have recently frozen or hiked memory and storage prices as demand from AI data centers surges, and executives warn the situation may get worse before it gets better. Across the industry, AI and cloud giants are displacing traditional memory makers, while DDR4 RAM – once the backbone of PCs and servers – is slowly being phased out. The result is a perfect storm that's upending supply chains and reshaping the economics of the memory market.
