The technology gap between China and US, On 5/6/2022, there was a news report that Beijing ordered central government agencies, state-owned enterprises and government-related enterprises or institutions to replace the currently used foreign brand computers with domestic equipment.
Yield rate comparison of SMIC, Rapidus, TSMC, Samsung, Intel’s advanced process
Comparison of advanced process yield rates between TSMC, Samsung and Intel: Numbers of advanced process yield rates Samsung’s advanced process yield rates are very poor and are not at the same level as TSMC. Perhaps we should say that TSMC is so good that it has brought the yield rate of advanced processes close to the yield rate of TSMC’s mature processes. This is a rare ability. Intel has never publicly announced its process yield.
6 common wrong semiconductor investment myths
This article is to explore common semiconductor investment myths that most people have wrong about semiconductor investing, and they are horribly wrong.

How AMD makes money? A rare case of turning defeat into victory
The stock price has risen from the lowest point of US$ 1.66 on September 28, 2015 (close to the threshold of delisting), and it has risen to US$ 137.5 at an alarming rate in only 6 years, which is an almost impossible task. Shares rose 148% in 2019, making it the biggest gainer for the year in the S&P 500 and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, surging 21-fold in ten years.
