Phone memory costs are climbing fast: Counterpoint expects 14% fewer smartphone shipments in 2026. Qualcomm's new Extreme adds 50% more shared NPU memory, but rising DRAM and storage prices may limit how many devices can afford these gains. Watch margin pressure. # Smartphones # Semiconductors # Economics https://www…

The funding round number is the part I keep coming back to more than the chip story. Raising at a 500B yuan valuation while simultaneously admitting they need to shift pre-training to unproven domestic silicon is a strange signal, that's either supreme confidence that Huawei's stack is closer to parity than public benchmarks suggest, or it's a…

People think Nvidia will be the only company to ever make GPU. It’s going to be a black Monday when that house of cards comes down. Especially because frontier models will run on your home computer in less than 18 months

I'm sure everyone saw this, but Huawei made some pretty big AI chip announcements. First, they've pulled the Ascend 960DT forward from Q4 2027 to Q1 2027. That's three quarters early. Wild. And this is supposed to be a pretty substantial upgrade: 2x the compute, 2x memory bandwidth, 2x memory cap...

Oh, so you would stay idle, probably indefinitely, waiting for something you can’t recognize and most likely doesn’t exist at all? That’s the next level of smart.
