1. Intel has launched a five-year apprenticeship program in collaboration with various Arizona organizations to train future manufacturing technicians. 2. The program aims to address the talent gap in US semiconductor manufacturing and enhance workforce diversity. 3. Apprentices will receive hands-on training and earn a certificate and college credit, with 90% expected to stay with Intel post-program.

1. Intel's next-generation Arc Xe2 GPUs, based on the Battlemage architecture, will be manufactured using TSMC's 4nm EUV node. 2. This represents a significant improvement from the previous Arc Alchemist series using TSMC's 6nm DUV technology. 3. The transition to TSMC's N4 node promises enhanced transistor densities, performance, and power efficiency, potentially quadrupling the Xe cores on the flagship Battlemage model.

1. AnoWatch, an innovative inspection system, helps detect errors in car body parts quickly and reliably. 2. Unlike traditional systems, AnoWatch is trained with error-free parts, allowing it to immediately detect any deviations, including new ones. 3. Developed by Dr. Thomas Wiener at Fraunhofer IWU, AnoWatch is mobile, easy to set up, and can be operational within hours, making it a promising solution for quality control in automotive manufacturing.
