Foxconn has been promoting its "3+3+3" innovation strategy, positioning digital health as a core element. Chih-Hsiung Chiang, general manager of Foxconn's Business Group B, clearly outlined in an exclusive interview with DIGITIMES how the unit has gradually transformed from focusing on EMS manufacturing for ICT products into a pioneer driving smart healthcare and digital health

Nvidia projected third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of about US$54 billion, beating market consensus but trailing the most optimistic forecasts of US$60 billion. Crucially, the outlook excludes sales of its H20 chips to China, underscoring how US export curbs continue to weigh on one of its biggest potential markets

Humanoid robots remain far from commercial readiness, with ongoing doubts about their practicality and technical feasibility. As debate continues over when — or even if — humanoids will gain traction, momentum is shifting to alternative designs. Quadruped and wheeled robots, prized for their stability and load capacity, are emerging as the more realistic entry point for companies seeking near-term robotics applications

Meta Platforms has reportedly signed a six-year agreement worth US$10 billion with Google Cloud, marking an unprecedented partnership between two dominant companies in digital advertising. The collaboration underscores both Meta's growing need for cloud computing resources and Alphabet's expanding presence in the cloud services market

Since August 11, 2025, when Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan met with US President Donald Trump at the White House, and following the White House confirmation on August 22 that it would subsidize Intel through the CHIPS and Science Act in exchange for about a 10% equity stake, speculation has swirled around Trump's special mission to save Intel and promote "Made in America.

At the OCP APAC Summit, Ethernet and UALink advocates clashed over data center interconnect architectures. Kurtis Bowman, UALink board chair and AMD's director of architecture and strategy, questioned Ethernet's latency performance in scale-up scenarios, arguing that its technical limits hinder high-performance application scaling

Nvidia's framing of the next AI wave as "physical AI" has fueled investor and industry excitement around humanoid robots, accelerating development. But according to a DIGITIMES report, 2025: The first year of humanoid robots — Global market trends and key technologies, humanoids will represent only 0.2% of the global robotics market in 2025, with usage largely confined to logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing. Broader adoption remains a distant prospect

The Financial Times recently cited sources revealing that before Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan visited the White House on August 11, 2025, to meet with President Donald Trump, a preliminary framework for SoftBank's equity investment in Intel had already been established. SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son met with Tan weeks earlier to discuss potential deals

The launch of the Pixel 10 series marks the tenth anniversary of Google's Pixel brand. Over the past decade, the company's smartphone venture has highlighted persistent shortcomings in hardware sales and market execution

History shows that past productivity improvements have always been accompanied by high-density energy conversion and industrial efficiency enhancements: from hydropower, steam, electrification, automobiles and oil, to IT and the internet, and now AI

As automotive computing platforms increasingly demand higher performance, longer lifespans, and near-zero defect rates, chip architecture faces the challenge of balancing system reliability with cost efficiency under stringent automotive standards. Chiplets are emerging as a pivotal pathway to meet these requirements

Reports that Chinese automaker BYD may enter the Taiwanese market through indirect channels have sparked widespread debate, reflecting growing interest—alongside skepticism—toward Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). While some Taiwanese consumers are intrigued by the value proposition, many industry experts remain wary of potential safety and privacy risks

US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick recently stated in interviews that the government should not only offer free subsidies but also acquire non-voting stakes to safeguard American taxpayers' interests. A spokesperson from the White House confirmed that discussions are ongoing with Intel regarding a deal for a 10% equity stake

As the US government seriously considers taking a stake in Intel, the company faces more than just a simple transaction; it has become a strategic industry bet. Once the semiconductor leader, Intel's lagging advanced process technology has gradually eroded its ability to compete with TSMC and Samsung Electronics at the 7nm, 5nm, and even upcoming 2nm nodes. Meanwhile, construction delays at the Ohio wafer fab have hindered the US government's carefully crafted blueprint for domestic advanced manufacturing from materializing

Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors are on the brink of a major transformation. Once hailed as the rising star among third-generation semiconductors, this technology has fallen from grace due to intense price competition in the Chinese market. Now, with global GaN foundry leader TSMC announcing its withdrawal by mid-2027, the entire industry is entering an early era of fragmentation reminiscent of the Warring States period
