Eager to establish itself as the world's leading chip manufacturer, Intel is making rapid progress in introducing advanced chip-making machines in its process flow. The firm revealed earlier today that it had completed the assembly of the "industry's first" high numeric aperture chip-making machine at an R&D center in Oregon. Intel's announcement follows a press talk given by the firm earlier this week that explained the benefits of using High NA technology to make chips and how the firm aims to use the unique benefits offered by these machines to speed up its fabrication process.
Chip manufacturing machines, particularly the advanced equipment used by Intel and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), are made by just one firm - the Dutch ASML. Naturally, this means that as the demand for silicon products grows, chip makers rush to get their hands on this equipment.
Intel took the lead with the most advanced chip manufacturing machines, namely the high numeric aperture extreme ultraviolet tools, by bringing the first machine to its facilities last year. This was also the first High NA machine that ASML had shipped to a customer, and Intel's announcement earlier today revealed that it had successfully assembled the machine as part of a 'first light' process. The firm plans to start working with long lead time items initially as it gets developmental access for the machines and starts working with the machine in Oregon.
At its press talk, Intel's director of lithography, Mark Phillips, shared the benefits that his firm expects from this equipment. According to him, since high NA allows chip makers to use less light per operation in the chip manufacturing process, it reduces the time taken to print chip layers. This reduces the overall time to print a chip wafer and speeds up the process.
According to Miller, Intel's 14A will be the first node that will use high NA machines to make chips. Intel also shared an updated process road map, and high NA allows it to improve resolution and simplify the chip manufacturing process flow by reducing the number of masks required for printing crisp circuit patterns on silicon.
Since older machines have constraints with respect to the size of the circuits that can be printed, advanced machines such as the High NA tools reduce manufacturing complexity as their ability to print smaller circuits removes the need to use

I can feel some kind of sore throat bug coming on. It must be the baleful influence of Creative Assembly's latest free update for bellowing strategy bonanza Total War: Warhammer 3. Out 30th April, the update introduces Epidemius, Proctor of Pestilence - a new Nurgle Legendary Lord who gains rewards based on how many ickle diseases you’ve spread to other factions (already my favourite aspect of playing Nurgle in the game). Does Epidemius also get buffs if the player is infected by something? I hope so. It would be a consolation to know that my ailing trachea is contributing to the Nurgle cause.

Final Fantasy 16 was one of our favourite games of 2023, and so we wanted to find out more about The Rising Tide — the title's second and final expansion — ahead of its release on the 18th April. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to land an interview with Takeo Kujiraoka — the veteran Square Enix dev who's actually the director of Final Fantasy 16's DLC, having previously been a lead combat designer for the base game.
VIZ Media announced yesterday that their manga app has now added Marvel titles to the service. This is part of the collaboration between the giants of two distinct sides of the biggest comic book industries in the world, which began in 2022 when they combined the superpowered legacy of various Marvel heroes and the storytelling form of manga. This yielded a number of successful manga titles that feature Marvel superheroes in a way that they hadn't been seen before.
The problem with deciding to play every single Nancy Drew mystery puzzle game for a column is that, because they have been coming out since the 90s, Her Interactive have built up enough steam that I may never catch up to the front of the plucky citizen detective train. They have today announced a release date of May 7th for Nancy Drew: Mystery Of The Seven Keys, along with the official trailer.
