This week in Chips Weekly by Diana, we dive into the stories shaping the global semiconductor race:

🇩🇪 GlobalFoundries expands its German fab with a €1.1 B investment,

⚙️ Germany faces new rare-earth and material shortages,

and 🇰🇷 Nvidia + Samsung join forces to build South Korea’s AI chip superpower.

In our Industry Spotlight, we explore the growing battle over export controls, chipmaking tools, and materials — and why control of technology inputs is becoming as powerful as the chips themselves.

Finally, we spotlight our Chip of the Week — the Nvidia Blackwell GB200 Superchip — the most advanced AI processor ever built, now powering national-scale AI infrastructure.

The Chip Graveyard – Halloween Special | Chips Weekly

Welcome to a spooky special edition of Chips Weekly! 👻

Today we’re digging up the most ambitious chips that failed — the ones that almost changed the future of computing… but didn’t make it.

In this episode, Diana explores how billion-dollar ideas like Transmeta’s Crusoe, Intel’s Itanium, and Zilog’s Z8000 ended up buried in tech history — and what their ghosts can still teach the industry today.

🪦 Featured Fallen Chips

• Transmeta – software-powered x86 revolution that fizzled

• Intel Itanium – massive gamble on a brand-new architecture

• Zilog Z8000 – great timing… for someone else

• PLUS: Cyrix • DEC Alpha • Sun SPARC

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

✔ Why being early can be just as risky as being late

✔ How ecosystems and compatibility decide winners

✔ Why some “failures” push innovation forward

If you’re into semiconductors, CPU history, and tech what-ifs, this Halloween-themed deep dive is for you.
