Huawei's finer bonding deserves more weight in the AI-chip race. $AVGO's 3.5D approach combines vertically stacked dies with the side-by-side packaging used to connect processors and HBM. It adds another direction in which designers can shorten the wires moving data around a chip. Besi describes Broadcom's initial face-to-face hybrid bonding at 6µm pitch. Huawei reports 1.5µm for its 2026 Kirin implementation. Pitch is the spacing between connections; face-to-face brings the dies' wiring surfaces together. On an identical square grid, that spacing difference allows 16x as many potential bond sites per unit area. Usable connections still depend on routing and the space reserved for power and repair. It is an architectural opportunity, not a bandwidth multiple. The size qualification matters. Kurnal's Kirin 9050 die shots measure roughly 121mm² per die. Extending fine-pitch bonding to much larger AI dies changes the economics: more expensive silicon is at risk when a stack fails, and heat and power delivery have to work across the whole assembly. Broadcom also said face-to-face compute SoC shipments began in February 2026. A later roadmap cannot be read as its first arrival at face-to-face bonding. Huawei looks ahead on this published pitch comparison. Our view is that this gives it a credible route to narrowing parts of the AI-chip gap through packaging. The stronger claim needs production evidence at large accelerator scale. The phone result alone does not establish when that arrives.

Still a lot of smart money involved in $SOC (and adding). Wondering if the upcoming catalysts, particularly Hondo’s restart, potential NDAA protections and a West Coast SPR decision, could finally get this thing moving? The prospective FCF generation is pretty remarkable if they can execute…

Copilot's local AI won't lift PC sales much $MSFT's new local Copilot features need a Copilot+ PC. IDC counted those at 2.3% of Windows PCs sold in Q1 2025, the latest count we've found. Copilot+ PCs also need at least 16GB of memory, more than budget laptops carry. Memory costs are why IDC expects PC prices to rise 18.3% and shipments to fall 11.3% in 2026.

UK numbers for Group 1 Automotive are out and it ain't looking good (no surprise, flagged by co already)! Plz fix that and sell it to Vertu, they can issue shares at ATH, and then $GPI can focus 100% on the US: https://t.co/xsqYhoJgqa $GPI

don't listen to the clowns saying this should be ignored because its part of a long-standing diversification plan. If they bothered to read the Form 144 they would know that he put in a brand new sales plan in June 2026. Why? Q2 was when $DUOL posted declining y-o-y earnings.
