+### Quick Report
+
+Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Computing and Graphics Business Group of AMD has announced plans to unify CDNA and RDNA into single UDNA architecture to compete against Nvidia CUDA and bring better development experience in a statement to Tom\'s Hardware.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+Jack Huynh admits AMD made a mistake with RDNA side causing a lot of missed optimization opportunities and focus on unifying RDNA and CDNA into a single architecture for better optimize engineering efforts and logistics so that the RDNA and CDNA work in unison to better optimize the GPU and developer tools to compete against CUDA.

+### Quick Report
+
+TSMC has announced their Arizona factory is now on par with Taiwanese production in terms of yield and low wafer defects. This makes TSMC's efforts to expand and fabricate advanced chips in American soil a success.
+It will soon start volume production in 2025 and follow up with second fab in 2028 to advanced their ongong efforts to make 2nm and sub 2nm chips with investments around $65 Billion with $6 Billion from Chips Act and $5 Billion as loan from US govt.
