Quick Charge 3+: Qualcomm’s 60W charging for affordable devices

Gone are the days when slow charging was the norm. Just about 4 years back, mobile phone manufacturers have started charging speeds faster than 10 watts(5 volts, 2 amps). It all started with the Quick Charge 2.0. From Quick charge 2.0 onwards, they decided to increase the voltage, while keeping current constant. With older USB 2.0 cables, it wasn’t easy increasing the current as that would cause a lot of heat to be generated, thus slowing the charging down. With their new charging tech, the battery remains cool at peak charging, and thus helps increase the overall battery life. Then…

TSMC started manufacturing the 2nm process node

Just recently, we posted that Nvidia and AMD had taken up all available capacity at TSMC for this year. While TSMC will be pushing all available 7nm and above processes for AMD and Nvidia, they’ll also be working on the 2nm process. TSMC was actually focusing on the 3nm process but instead, decided on 2nm. According to a report by Techspot, back in December 2019, TSMC planned to start production of 5nm by the end of 2020, and 3nm in 2022. Now they finally announced that they will start manufacturing on the 2nm node. As TomsHardware puts it, “Painstakingly few…
