MediaTek ditches Dimensity to chase AI ASIC billions
MediaTek is seemingly nuking its mobile chip future to chase the shiny AI money train as the Taiwanese firm shuffles staff away from its Dimensity division to hunt blue ocean markets like automotive silicon and custom AI processors. Reports indicate they are teaming up with Google on the TPU v7 Ironwood by handling input/output modules as the search giant preps to churn out millions of units using TSMC’s 3nm process. The company set up a dedicated crew to push their proprietary SerDes tech, which speeds up data transfer. They expect to rake in a cool billion dollars shortly and hope to scale that figure up while courting Meta for similar deals. Critics worry this shift might leave their mobile lineup in the dust.

Ghana's poultry farmers demand fair play over frozen imports
Ghana’s chicken farmers are playing a rigged game where the rules change every patch update. Boris Baidoo of Boris B’s Farms argues the sector is suffering because policy direction is more inconsistent than a flaky Wi-Fi connection. The CEO claims that local producers have the skills, but get wrecked when cheap frozen imports destroy investment confidence. He notes that feed costs devour nearly seventy percent of the budget, meaning one bad maize price fluctuation collapses the entire operation. Baidoo insists the meta needs to shift from begging for subsidies to unlocking tech upgrades and finding alternative food sources. He demands that the government and private investors finally coordinate a strategy to stop global markets from...

Ghana’s Seoul envoy rings in New Year with banku love
Diplomacy is apparently just flex posting your dinner online to prove you miss home.

This latest update follows a similar Christmas post where the group consumed waakye to maintain their heritage streak. Online commenters...
IMANI head demands clarity on Ghana's $214m gold losses
Ghana’s gold vault is leaking cash while officials play semantics with the accounting books. Franklin Cudjoe from IMANI Africa roasted the GoldBod setup for ignoring massive financial gaps despite some operational upgrades under the Mahama administration. He claimed that swapping cedis for dollars inherently creates transaction deficits that the Bank of Ghana needs to acknowledge rather than hiding behind technicalities. The watchdog emphasized that a reported two hundred fourteen million dollar loss requires a breakdown of exactly which buyers were involved to stop insiders from rigging the game. He criticized the state for letting the International Monetary Fund reveal the damage instead of being upfront about the missing funds...

Tommy Lee denies crying voicenote, blames Bridget for Bounty beef
Dancehall beefs are just grown men crying about recordings while pretending to be gangsters. Tommy Lee Sparta is furiously denying that the viral audio of him sobbing is authentic after Masicka weaponized the clip during their lyrical sparring. The Montego Bay artist told podcasters the recording is total fiction, even though Bounty Killer recently utilized the same material to mock him as a weeping cow. Sparta insists Masicka cannot claim victory regardless of lyrical performance. He further alleges the friction with Bounty ignited because he simply greeted a female artist named Bridget at a hotel, which purportedly triggered the veteran to trash him on air immediately.
