Sapphire Radeon RX 6950X TOXIC overclocks to 2565 MHz at TGP 346W

As AMD prepares to release the highly anticipated Radeon RX 6000 series upgrade, codenamed the RX 6x50 XT series.Along with AMD, add-on partners (AIB) will also have their say, and today we look at the expected specifications for future Sapphire top tier products.
According to Chiphell informant, Raul Mee, who claims to have the specs of Sapphire's latest models, we're expected to see a slightly higher total board power (TGP) with this update.First off, the Sapphire RX 6950XT TOXIC is the fastest air-cooled model from Sapphire, with clock speeds up to 2565 MHz and a TGP of 364W in OC BIOS.
The standard TGP for this model is 332W with acceleration to 2532MHz.There is also the Sapphire RX 6950XT NITRO+ model it is different from the SE version and is a slight improvement over the reference AMD Radeon RX 6950XT GPU offering the Silent BIOS option.
The RX 6950XT NITRO+ Special Edition can reach 325W and 2435MHz with OC BIOS.Silent BIOS is also an option, and it lowers TGP to 303W and 2368MHz.
The expected specs table also includes the Sapphires RX 6750XT and 6650XT NITRO+ GPUs, whose clock speeds and TGP you can see below.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger talks about ending chip shortages by 2024

CNBC News spoke with Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO, about the ongoing chip shortages that have haunted the industry in the years since the pandemic.
Pat Gelsinger and other prominent CEOs, such as AMD CEO Lisa Suh and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, calculated when the shortage would roughly end.Initially, they all expected the shortage to end at the end of this year.
However, because resources have been hard to come by and many other factors have affected over time, that timeline has changed.
Now Pat Gelsinger says that 2024 will be the year when the chip shortage ends.The flaw in the current shortage situation is not the lack of materials, but the equipment used to make the semiconductor chips.
The new development forces Gelsinger to change his current thinking on scarcity.This is one reason why we think the overall semiconductor shortage will now drift into 2024, our earlier estimate in 2023, simply because scarcity has now hit equipment, and some of these plant hiccups will be more difficult to overcome.
- Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEOHowever, throughout Gelsinger's tenure as Intel's CEO has been beneficial to the company.
Intel has talked several times about the company's foundry plans.
Gelsinger and Intel set up new manufacturing factories in the U.S.
and explored potential recent locations for their factories around the world to help produce new chips and discoveries.
Intel is better positioned with these strategies than other companies as long as third-party components and capacity continue to grow.We feel we are in a better position than most.
The combination of our internal capacity as well as our foundry leverage -- we're just better positioned, and that's part of Intel's structural advantage.
- Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO for BloombergAMD and NVIDIA have not yet given new predictions about when the chip shortage will end and business can return to normal.
Statements from the other two executives about their current forecasts for the next few years are expected to emerge in the coming months.

TSMC prepares to transition to 3nm technology

Apple M1 Mah processor Apple says it is preparing to transition to 3nm technology from TSMC as early as the end of this year, or in 2023.At the same time DigiTimes reports that TSMC is ready to transition to 3nm process for mass production in the second half of the year.
The company is also on track to move to more advanced versions of the 3nm process in the same timeframe.TSMC CEO Sisi Wei said during an April financial report that demand for 3nm chips is fueled by both high-performance computing and smartphones.
The company also sees continued strong interest in 3nm chips from the consumer segment.Initial production volumes for 3nm norms will be 30,000 to 35,000 pancakes per month.
Already in April TSMC will provide the first 3nm chips to Apple for iPad production.Last November it was reported that the third generation of custom chips for Apple will be produced using TSMC's 3nm process.
These chips will contain from four to 40 cores.
In addition, Intel will also be among the first recipients of 3 nm products.
