Of 60 major telecom markets globally, 16 will launch 5G services in 2022, but challenges in spectrum availability and pricing will cause delays, according to a forecast by the Economist Intelligence Unit in its Telecoms and Technology in 2022 report.
China has introduced a new by-law that will allow its companies to sue for damages in the event that their financial interests are affected by actions taken by third-party, non-American companies abroad.
ANALYSIS In announcing the departure of Bob Swan as chief executive, Intel has made sure to mention that the announcement has nothing to do with either its financial performance in 2020 or its failure to introduce 7nm CPUs on time.
American firm Qualcomm Technologies, with 29%, remained top of the market for smartphone application processors - also known as system-on-chip - during the second quarter of the year, despite losing three percentage points year-on-year.
Intel will be forced to delay the introduction of 7nm CPUs, with the company telling investors on Friday it would have to push back the schedule for producing the most advanced semiconductors by six months as it has no economically viable way to produce them at the moment.
There have been many discussions centred around the possibility that China may try to retake Taiwan and speculation as to the likely American reaction, but hardly any consideration has been given to the fact that even a failed bid by Beijing would have a massive effect on the American reliance on Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturers.
Taiwanese semiconductor firm Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company says it has stopped processing orders from Chinese telecommunications equipment vendor Huawei Technologies following the US imposition of restrictions in May that make it illegal to supply product to a company that is on an American blacklist unless it obtains a licence.
ANALYSIS The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will have to get a rather large amount from the US in incentives if it is to make its proposed new factory in Arizona commercially successful and avoid any issues with its business in China.
New restrictions on the use of American products, imposed by the Commerce Department on Chinese telecommunications equipment provider Huawei Technologies, have been described as arbitrary and pernicious by the company.
ANALYSIS The announcement by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company on Friday that it will set up a plant in Arizona to manufacture chips means that it will now be easier for China's Huawei Technologies to obtain semiconductors from the company.
In what will be seen as a win for US President Donald Trump, the chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is set to announce that it will be opening a factory in Arizona.
A Taiwan firm that makes processors for Apple's iPhones was hit by a variant of the WannaCry ransomware over the weekend and says the incident will cause shipment delays and additional costs.
Every computing device needs memory and a central processor. Competition is fierce, growth trends are low, so the main players are spending heavily on new technology to stay ahead.
Apple has finally signed a deal with an alternative chip manufacturer for its iPhones and iPads, according to reports.
