TSMC has achieved a significant milestone with the first wafer exposure using its N2 process technology at the Kaohsiung Fab 22 facility. This sets the stage for volume manufacturing by late 2025. The accomplishment demonstrates readiness to deliver next-generation semiconductors as Phase 1 nears completion and Phase 2 equipment installation progresses following its groundbreaking in August. Initially planned in 2021 for mature node production at 7 nm and 28 nm, the facility underwent a major transformation to support cutting-edge processes due to rising demand for advanced mobile, AI, and HPC chips. This NT$1.5 trillion investment, spread across six phases, will position southern Taiwan as a hub for sub-2 nm chip manufacturing.

The production roadmap outlines TSMC's strategic approach to meeting the increasing demand from the artificial intelligence and high-performance computing sectors. Phase 2 aims for volume production by the second quarter of 2026, aligning well with the industry's traditional third-quarter procurement cycle when major clients finalize orders for flagship products. Subsequent phases will introduce progressively advanced technologies, including the A16 variant with backside power delivery and eventually the A14 node using gate-all-around nanosheet transistors by 2028. This timeline significantly outpaces international competitors, particularly TSMC's Arizona operations, which are experiencing delays in reaching similar milestones. The Kaohsiung complex is part of TSMC manufacturing network that includes Hsinchu's Fab 20 and the upcoming Taichung Fab 25, providing flexibility to scale production as global semiconductor demands grow.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Samsung has quietly unveiled the Odyssey G60F, a 27-inch monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution, designed for users who need versatility in gaming, content creation, and everyday tasks. The monitor boasts a high 350 Hz refresh rate and an IPS panel, offering what many consider the ideal configuration: QHD clarity combined with fast IPS performance. Samsung has optimized the panel to deliver a 1-millisecond gray-to-gray response time, effectively reducing motion blur in competitive gaming. The matte anti-glare coating enhances usability in various lighting conditions, which is beneficial for professionals working long hours. The G60F also features variable refresh rate technology, supporting NVIDIA's G-SYNC Compatible mode and AMD FreeSync Premium, with a VRR window of 48-350 Hz and Low Frame Rate Compensation.

This makes it adaptable for console gaming, with HDMI 2.1 connectivity allowing 120 Hz operation at 4K resolution with HDR and VRR on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X systems. The monitor offers 99% sRGB color accuracy and a flicker-free WLED backlight with a typical brightness of 350 cd/m². While it has DisplayHDR 400 certification, it lacks local dimming, reflecting a balanced approach rather than a focus on specialized HDR performance. The design prioritizes functionality with slim dual-stage bezels and a fully adjustable stand, offering 120 mm of height adjustment, pivot for portrait orientation, and tilt and swivel options. It also supports VESA 100 mounting for arm installations. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5 mm audio jack, with ports located beneath the stand attachment. An external power adapter is used for electrical needs. Samsung has priced the Odyssey G60F at around $500, though the release date has not been announced.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

The JEDEC Solid State Technology Association announced today that it's close to completing the next version of its Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard: UFS 5.0. Built for mobile applications and computing systems that need high performance with low power use, UFS 5.0 plans to deliver faster data access and better performance (up to 10.8 GB/s sequential read/write) compared to its predecessor, while staying compatible with UFS 4.x hardware. To hit the highest performance and most power-efficient data transport, JEDEC UFS uses industry-leading specs from the MIPI Alliance to form its Interconnect Layer. This team-up continues with UFS 5.0, which uses the upcoming MIPI M-PHY version 6.0 spec and the UniPro version 3.0 spec. M-PHY 6.0 brings in a new High-Speed Gear 6 (HS-G6), which supports data rates double those of the previous maximum data rate of HS-G5, enabling UFS interface bandwidth of 46.6 Gb/s per lane and supporting up to roughly 10.8 GB/s effective read/write operation for UFS 5.0 over 2 M-PHY lanes.

Currently, UFS's latest specifications date back to December 2024 when JEDEC published JESD220G UFS 4.1, which is an update to version 4.0 published in 2022. The Universal Flash Storage standard provides high-performance embedded storage that uses little power making it a great fit for devices where saving energy is key. This covers computing and mobile systems such as smartphones and wearables, edge computing, gaming consoles and automotive. Its fast serial interface and streamlined protocol allow for high data transfer rates leading to strong system performance without draining too much power.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Starhelm Studios is building Project Shadowglass in the Godot engine, showing that the viral AI-generated pixel art style can actually be done for real. Indie developer Dominick John is making a stealth-focused immersive sim that looks like those "impossible" AI game concepts everyone's been sharing online, except this one's actually playable. The game draws inspiration from classic titles like Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock, wrapped in a dark fantasy setting. Players will plan heists and sneak through forbidden areas while dealing with lasting consequences for their actions. The visuals feature glowing evening light, starry skies, and red moons across kingdom villages, all rendered in 3D pixel art that runs in real-time.

What makes this notable is the timing. Just weeks ago, artists and developers were saying games with this exact aesthetic couldn't be built outside of AI generation. Online discussions questioned whether anyone claiming otherwise was just making things up. Project Shadowglass answers that skepticism directly by existing. John has been posting development clips showing the game in action, all confirmed to use zero AI generation. The graphics come from unique 3D technology that creates nostalgic pixel art while allowing full 360-degree movement. Everything shown in trailers and screenshots is captured straight from the engine. The game is now available to wishlist on Steam as development continues.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
