In the late 1980s, Japan dominated the integrated circuit industry with overwhelming force. NEC, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Matsushita, and other Japanese companies controlled no less than 50% of the chip industry in 1988. However, today none of these companies are positioned among the leaders in a sector dominated with an iron fist by

In the 1950s, China was a very different country than it is today.

The American company led by Jensen Huang can no longer supply its H20 GPU to its Chinese customers, and Huawei is specifically aiming […]

The H20 chip is a revision of NVIDIA’s most powerful AI GPUs with lower performance. TSMC will begin manufacturing a new NVIDIA AI GPU with Blackwell microarchitecture in June. In practice, the country ruled by Xi Jinping is the company’s third-largest customer, behind only the US and Taiwan. However, the sanctions against China being i

In the new episode of Xataka Presents published on YouTube, one of our colleagues reconstructs the case of the Sony BMG rootkit, a failed attempt to curb piracy that ended up breaching the security of thousands of computers. “When you put the disk in your computer, the program was secretly installed and saved in a […]
