Core loss is increasing! There is also a shortage of chips for chipmaking machines
Volkswagen has signed a five-year contract with Qualcomm Technologies. The main part of the contract is that Volkswagen will use Qualcomm's autonomous driving chip (SoC) in all its vehicle brands sold worldwide from 2026.
The idea of "buying a washing machine to remove chips" may seem outrageous, but given the skyrocketing prices of some chips, it may be economically cheaper than buying from some reseller. In theory, many of the chips found in home washing machines can be used in many manufacturing industries, including automobiles, and the technology for recycling semiconductors is well established.
Researchers have discovered a microarchitectural flaw in Apple's Silicon chips that could lead to a data breach, but they say there is nothing to worry about right now. The flaw exists in the Data-memory dependent prefetcher (DMP) in Apple Silicon chips. DMP determines what memory content to prefetch, a technology well known in academia but not yet deployed in commercial products.
Schaffner has expanded its range of lighting application components. The new ED100/ED101 EMC filter family was developed specifically for the needs of LED driver circuits. Leds are very energy efficient and durable, but must be powered by a well-controlled current. LED lighting drivers need to be efficient, cost effective and EMC compliant. Series differential mode noise reduction offers two performance options according to request: High (ED100) and very high (ED101)
