NASA JPL Tests Next-Generation RISC-V Space Processor: Radiation, Thermal, and Shock Trials Underway, Performance Pointing to up to 100x Capacity

NASA JPL is testing a radiation-hardened, high-performance space computing processor developed in collaboration with Microchip. Three sources confirm that testing began in February and includes radiation, thermal, and shock trials; two sources explicitly note that current test results show roughly 500 times the performance of the radiation-hardened chips now in use. The “up to 100x computing capacity” claim is part of the event summary, but it cannot be directly confirmed from the three provided sources.

ASML CEO on EUV Lithography and Competitive Challenges: High-NA/Low-NA, Advanced-Node Position, and AI Chip Supply Dispute

Three sources point to the same core theme in remarks by ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet: EUV lithography remains a critical part of advanced chip manufacturing, and ASML maintains a firm view of its own technological position. However, the specific economics of High-NA versus Low-NA EUV, as well as the stated reasons behind constraints on China’s AI progress, are not consistently covered across the sources, and some details cannot be directly confirmed from the materials provided.

NY Creates and Micron launch semiconductor worker training program in Albany to feed talent for Clay plant

NY Creates and Micron have launched a semiconductor worker training and apprenticeship program in New York’s Capital Region. The 16-month program is set to begin in August and will take place at Albany NanoTech and Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. It is designed to help train talent for Micron’s memory chip plant under construction in Clay and the broader chip ecosystem. Micron’s megafab is expected to be completed around 2030.

Ubitium Says Its CGRA Can Boot Linux Without a Host CPU, Highlights RISC-V Compatibility

Ubitium GmbH announced on April 28, 2026, that its processor successfully booted and ran off-the-shelf Linux, describing it as the first CGRA capable of executing Linux without a host CPU. All three sources confirm this technical milestone; one source adds that the demo was based on an FPGA prototype and that the chip is compatible with the RISC-V toolchain. The sources do not mention specific performance, mass-production timing, or external validation.
