Radio frequency (RF) front-end chip maker RichWave said on May 4 that Wi-Fi 7 momentum will remain very strong in the first quarter of 2026, even as rising memory and component costs squeeze profitability and cloud order visibility. The company said memory-driven price increases are affecting the broader networking industry, but the impact on its 2026 growth will be limited.

QuantWare's US$178 million Series B round aims to accelerate the global rollout of larger, industrial-scale quantum processors, promising hyperscale quantum compute through its VIO-40K architecture and KiloFab foundry — a development that could reshape supply chains, national technology capabilities, and industrial adoption for countries seeking scalable quantum computing.

Google began using its first Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) in early 2015, several months before the company restructured to create a parent organization, Alphabet ( GOOG +0.41% ) ( GOOGL +0.66% ). For the next 11 years, Google kept TPUs to itself. The chips powered many applications hosted by Google Cloud, including Google's own AI products. While Google continues to use its TPUs internally, it's

The PCB industry is entering a new phase of transformation in the AI era, as rising demand for high-frequency and high-speed applications accelerates upgrades in upstream copper-clad laminate (CCL) materials. Among the beneficiaries is impregnation equipment maker Asia Metal Industries (AMI).

Semiconductor test interface provider Chunghwa Precision Test Tech (CHPT) said its revenue in April 2026 continued to set a new all-time monthly high, driven by rising demand for semiconductor testing linked to artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

The startup has ditched multi-vendor chiplets for a powerful in-house design, promising safety, scalability, and aggressive pricing.

Manufacturing activity expanded slightly faster in March despite rising inflation and global conflict.
