Combjelly, Re: ""You seem to be assuming that Intel has trouble getting the CPUs to the OEMs. " >> It is not my assumption, it is plenty of others. Here is one, jc-news.com There are others that cannot be accused of being anti-Intel..." First, JC just reports the news. He doesn't create it. And second, I don't see where JC has reported anything about Intel not being able to meet demand for P4M chips. Also, you are clearly misunderstanding me. I never said anything about news being anti-Intel. Those are your words. I was merely giving an alternate scenario, which you should admit is at least plausible. It is that OEMs are slow in getting mobile designs out, rather than Intel being slow in getting P4M processors out. This is backed up by the fact that Dell, IBM, and Toshiba all have mobile P4M systems ready to buy and ship. wbmw

Dutch government takes control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia in ‘highly exceptional’ move Published Mon, Oct 13 20252:13 AM EDT Updated 2 Hours Ago Dylan Butts @in/dylan-b-7a451a107 Key Points The Dutch government has invoked control of Nexperia, a Chinese-owned semiconductor maker based in the Netherlands, under its Goods Availability Act. Following the announcement by The Hague, Wingtech’s Shanghai-listed shares plunged 10% to hit its max daily limit. In this article 745-SZ-4.65 (-10.00%) A close-up view of the Nexperia plant sign in Newport, Wales on April 1, 2022. The Dutch government has taken control of Nexperia, a Chinese-owned semiconductor maker based in the Netherlands, in an extraordinary move to ensure a sufficient supply of its chips remains available in Europe amid rising global trade tensions. Nexperia, a subsidiary of China’s Wingtech Technology, specializes in the high-volume production of chips used in automotive, consumer electronics and other industries, making it vital for maintaining Europe’s technological supply chains. On Sunday evening, the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs revealed that it had invoked the “Goods Availability Act” on the company in September in order “to prevent a situation in which the goods produced by Nexperia (finished and semi-finished products) would become unavailable in an emergency.” Following the announcement from The Hague, Wingtech plunged its maximum daily limit of 10% on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The Goods Availability Act allows The Hague to intervene in private companies to ensure the availability of critical goods in preparation for emergency situations, and its use comes amid escalation in the U.S.-China trade war. The government statement said the “highly exceptional” move had been made after the ministry had observed “recent and acute signals of serious governance shortcomings and actions” within Nexperia. “These signals posed a threat to the continuity and safeguarding on Dutch and European soil of crucial technological knowledge and capabilities. Losing these capabilities could pose a risk to Dutch and European economic security,” it said, identifying the automotive industry as particularly vulnerable. Governance changesIn a corporate filing dated Oct.13, lodged with the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Wingtech confirmed Nexperia was under temporary external management and had been asked to suspend changes to the company’s assets, business or personnel for up to a year, according to a Google translation. Wingtech Chairman Zhang Xuezheng had been immediately suspended from his roles as executive director of Nexperia Holdings and nonexecutive director of Nexperia after the ministerial order, according to the filing. The filing added that Nexperia’s daily operations will continue, with the impact of the measures not yet quantifiable. “The Dutch government’s decision to freeze Nexperia’s global operations under the pretext of ‘national security’ constitutes excessive intervention driven by geopolitical bias, rather than a fact-based risk assessment,” Wingtech said in a deleted WeChat post, which was archived and translated by Chinese policy blog Pekingnology. It added that since it acquired Nexperia in 2019, Wingtech “has strictly abided by the laws and regulations of all jurisdictions where it operates, maintaining transparent operations and sound governance,” and employs “thousands of local staff” through research and development and manufacturing sites in the Netherlands, Germany and Britain. A spokesperson from Nexperia told CNBC that the company had no further comments, but that it “complies with all existing laws and regulations, export controls and sanctions regimes,” and remained in regular contact with relevant authorities. The Netherlands’ move comes after Beijing tightened its restrictions on the export of rare earth elements and magnets Thursday, which could impact Europe’s automotive industry. The move could also further strain trade relations between China and the Netherlands, following years of restrictions on Dutch company ASML’s exports of advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China. In 2023, the Netherlands had also investigated Nexperia’s proposed acquisition of chip firm startup Nowi, though the deal was later approved.
