Blizzard has posted additional developer commentary explaining some of the new Warrior changes in this week's Alpha build for The War Within, from redefining Arms AoE rotation, to punching up Fury's Bloodthirst, and major buffs for Bladestorm! There are a few Warrior updates in today’s Alpha build. After giving Arms and Fury access to both Bladestorm and Ravager, it was clear that Ravager had strong advantages in all situations. We’d like Bladestorm to be a strong pick for burst AOE, so we’re buffing its damage significantly, and reducing Ravager’s damage slightly. This should help make the choice between these abilities more meaningful and let each ability shine in different situations. Arms We’ve heard the feedback that the Arms AOE rotation lacks definition, so we’re making adjustments to Cleave to make it the centerpiece of Arms’ AOE rotation in The War Within.
TSMC Ready For The Angstrom-14 Era, Initiates Development On Cutting-Edge 1.4nm Process

TSMC has announced that the firm has finally entered the "Angstrom 14 Era" as they initiate development on their cutting-edge A14 process.
TSMC Doesn't Look To Slack Behind Competition At All, 1.4nm "Angstrom" Nodes To Drop By Within The Next Five Years
TSMC released its Annual Report 2023 a few months ago, but apparently, the documentation contained crucial information that was missed. Before we dive into that, let's talk a bit about TSMC's A14, or what is labeled as a tech revolution by many analysts out there.

Right now, we are on the timeline for TSMC's 3nm processes to start to see widespread adoption. Hence, the 1.4 nm still has a lot way before it debuts into the markets and will likely come after 2nm and 1.8nm nodes, which means that you can expect it to drop at least within the next five years or maybe more.
Moving on to the more interesting tidbits, prominent analyst Dan Nystedt has managed to dig into TSMC's documents, extracting information about the firm's 1.4nm process, as disclosed to investors in their annual report. TSMC says that their 1.4nm node is targeted towards high-end SoCs and HPC applications, likely indicating that their primary focus is indeed getting distributed from traditional mobile and computing markets to the AI segment as well. TSMC says that they will likely explore the next-generation EUV scanners for the A14 process, which means that it is still in the R&D stages.
Moreover, the Taiwan giant says that they have moved to "exploratory studies" for nodes beyond 14A, which is mere speculation for now. Still, they are likely talking about 1nm and ahead if process shrinking becomes the way to move forward after a decade or so. TSMC expects to significantly bump up its R&D expenditures in the coming years after already witnessing an 11.7% YoY increase in the R&D budget, and the firm says that this is solely due to "a higher level of research activities for 14-angstrom, 2-nanometer, and 3-nanometer process technologies".
Well, that was it for the firm's Angstrom-14 (1.4nm). The company is expected to disclose more details about it at the TSMC 2024 Technology Symposium, which will start today and continue until Friday, June 28, 2024. TSMC anticipates moving rapidly in the future, predicting a high single-digit CAGR in the next five years. The primary catalyst is the AI hype, followed by huge demand from the markets.
On details for the firm's packaging efforts, TSMC says that their CoWoS-S and CoWoS-L are ready for mass production, expected to be combined with the upcoming HBM3E memory type to be utilized in next-gen AI
