POSTER: computer news   ||    IN 2018, THE MARKET FOR 7-NM SEMICONDUCTORS WILL BEGIN TO HEAT UP	DATE:2017-06-17
In recent weeks, leading manufacturers of semiconductors made a number of statements about the preparation for the release of chips with technological standards of 7 nm.  This is a very important point.  The process technology with the norms of 10 nm, like the technical process with the norms of 20 nm, will be a short-term phenomenon in the semiconductor market.  Soon and long enough, the ball will be ruled by 7-nm chips.  Contract manufacturers are interested in presenting a process technology that would better meet the needs of developers. It should also be noted that the 7-nm process technology will for the first time partially use the EUV-range scanners.  This is a costly first step, but it will pay off later in the mass production of microchips, since it will reduce the number of photomasks per layer from four to five to one.  Our colleagues from the Internet resource DigiTimes have released a short analytical note on the manufacturers' readiness to switch to a 7-nm process technology, which we'll talk about. TSMC is one of the first companies to start mass production of 7-nm products.  In the second quarter  this year, TSMC launched a risky production of 7-nm products, gaining 12 digital projects at this stage.  Apparently, one of them belongs to the company Qualcomm, which allegedly decided to abandon the services of Samsung at this stage.  Mass production of 7-nm TSMC chips will begin in the first half of 2018.  Maybe in the first quarter.  In 2019, a Taiwanese contractor is about to begin production of the second generation of 7-nm chips with partial use of EUV-scanners. Samsung also plans to begin mass production of 7-nm products in 2018.  It is a year before TSMC intends to begin using the EUV-projection, which should also happen in 2018.  This is likely to delay the appearance of Samsung's 7-nm offer on the market, but will allow it to make a more profitable offer for customers.  Instead of the early start of the 7-nm (7LPP) production, the South Korean manufacturer will present in early 2018 the latest traditional process technology with 8 nm (8LPP).  In 2019 the company expects to introduce technical processes with the norms of 6 nm (6LPP) and 5 nm (5LPP), and also to prepare for the risky production in 2020 of the 4 nm process technology (4LPP). GlobalFoundries will launch a risk-based production with 7 nm (7LP) in the first half of 2018.  Serial 7-nm chips will begin to go off the company's pipelines in the second half of 2018.  In particular, AMD is now betting on them.  The company GlobalFoundries also plans to use EUV-lithography, but does not specify exact terms.  You can expect that this will happen either in 2019 or in 2020. Intel company  is still staying away from the 7-nm mainstream.  It is assumed that the release of 7-nm products, it will not begin before 2020.

POSTER: computer news   ||    NANYA SOLD PART OF ITS MICRON SHARES	DATE:2017-06-17
According to the popular Taiwanese Internet resource DigiTimes, the Taiwanese DRAM memory manufacturer Nanya Technology sold some of its shares to the US memory manufacturer Micron Technology.  The Taiwanese company believes that this will not affect the partnership relations of producers, and proceeds from the sale of shares will go to the needs of improving production and reducing the financial burden of loans. In total, Nanya sold 1.2 million shares of Micron at $ 31.55 for each, which brought her $ 39.88 million before taxes.  Clean company will receive $ 17.99 million. Thus, the share of Nanya in Micron will decrease from 5.26% to 5.11%.  The Taiwanese manufacturer will continue to own 56.51 million shares of Micron. The company Nanya Technology became a shareholder of Micron during last year's deal to acquire the company Micron shares of another Taiwanese memory manufacturer - the company Inotera Memories.  The latter was a joint venture between Micron and Nanya, until in December 2016 the American manufacturer DRAM bought out all of Inotera's shares from the partner.  Instead, Nanya acquired some of Micron's shares, for which it received permission and a license to release memory using two generations of 10-nm DRAM Micron (1x and 1y).  So it is necessary to sell shares of the partner with caution.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 49009 Rating: 10.0/10 (6 votes cast) Nanya sold part of its Micron shares	Add Comment ( 1 ) NANYA SOLD PART OF ITS MICRON SHARES

POSTER: computer news   ||    AMD RADEON VEGA FRONTIER EDITION ACCELERATORS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ORDER	DATE:2017-06-16
A little more than a week left before the sales of Radeon Vega Frontier Edition , which will be offered in versions with an unattended liquid cooling system, as well as with a conventional air cooling system.  Both options have already covered their prices in foreign online stores , and gamers should frighten them, despite the alluring mention of the availability of 16 GB of memory such as HBM2. For a simpler version of the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition with an air cooling system, $ 1199 is requested, and for an identical modification with an unattended liquid cooling system - $ 600 more.  However, some sources claim that TDP of the first of video cards does not exceed 300 watts, while the second one reaches 375 watts.  At the same time, the nominal frequency of the graphics processor for both should be the same - 1600 MHz.  Perhaps the liquid cooling system assumes a wider range of dynamic frequency variation.  Memory type HBM2, as far as can be judged from Fiji's graphical solutions with HBM first generation, overclock very much. Announcement of the game version of Radeon RX Vega will take place at the end of July, and this will certainly make the second month of summer boring.  For now, you can look at graphics solutions for professional use.

POSTER: computer news   ||    REVIEWS INTEL CORE I9-7900X WILL BE MADE PUBLIC ON MONDAY	DATE:2017-06-16
The ten-core Core i9-7900X family Skylake-X family overclock better than its predecessor, although it requires the use of a motherboard with a LGA 2066 connector, and by the cover of the heat distributor, a plastic thermal interface is applied by default instead of the traditional solder .  But now the presence of ten cores can not be considered a sign of a senior processor in the family - at the end of August a kindred will appear with 12 cores, and by October the number of cores will grow to 18 pieces.  The marginal price of family older model will also increase, so that the Core i9-7900X, in a sense, will be considered a "strong middle peasant". The Core i9-7900X processor will be available from next Monday, but it will be available a week later.  As explain the participants of the 3DCenter.org conference , involved in the preparation of such materials, the reviews of the Core i9-7900X will be released on June 19, the day of opening the preliminary orders for this processor.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 49007 Rating: 10.0/10 (14 votes cast) Reviews Intel Core i9-7900X will be made public on Monday	Add Comment ( 1 ) REVIEWS INTEL CORE I9-7900X WILL BE MADE PUBLIC ON MONDAY
