Everyone wants TSMC to make their AI chips, and it's becoming a huge problem. The Taiwan semiconductor giant is facing overly aggressive demand from fabless firms like NVIDIA and AMD, creating major supply shortages at its most advanced nodes like 5nm, 4nm, and 3nm. This pressure is forcing TSMC into massive capital investments to increase capacity, with expenditures projected to hit fifty billion dollars by 2026, largely for expanding into new processes like 2nm and supporting mainstream ones.
This massive expansion is causing serious internal issues, including labor shortages and skyrocketing costs for suppliers who cannot easily raise prices. Another critical bottleneck is advanced packaging, where intense demand from...
Another Ghana Premier League weekend, another captain stating the obvious. Asante Kotoko skipper Samba O'Neil called their 2-0 win over last-place Eleven Wonders a big deal for their season. The goals at the University of Ghana Stadium came from Peter Amidu Acquah and Johnson Oppong Owusu. O'Neil said the league is tough, especially playing at the Legon Sports Stadium, and that getting this victory was important. He noted the season is still young and asked fans to keep showing up, promising the team would fight for wins.
The result bumps Kotoko up to twenty-seven points, putting them level with Medeama SC and just one point behind leaders Aduana Stars. Their next game is against Bechem United at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Brahim Diaz is all in for Morocco at AFCON. The Real Madrid forward, playing for the host nation, said he feels at home and plans to give everything for the team. He scored the first goal in their 2-0 opening win against Comoros in Rabat, which settled early nerves for the Atlas Lions and sparked big celebrations. That performance earned him Man of the Match honors. Diaz stated that he knows the people love him and that without their support, he would not be playing football at this level. He next faces Mali with Morocco.
Aduana FC just bagged some local silverware in a brand new tournament. They beat Berekum Chelsea 2-0 to win the first-ever GHALCA Regional Minister's Cup at Nana Agyeman Badu Park in Dormaa Ahenkro, Bono Region. Goals from Ben Dibe and Desmond Obeng in the second half decided the match. Captain Alex Boakye lifted the trophy, which was sponsored by Bono Regional Minister Joseph Addae Akwaboa. Both teams got medals and forty thousand Ghana cedis each for showing up. The event was put together by the Ghana League Clubs Association with the Bono Regional Coordinating Council and the Bono Regional Football Association. BA United also won an earlier game against Tano Bofoakwa by the same scoreline.
The whole thing was meant to push sports...
The Africa Cup of Nations kicked off with defending champs barely scraping by. Cote d'Ivoire started their title defense with a narrow 1-0 win over Mozambique in Group F at the Stade de Marrakech. Amad Diallo scored the only goal soon after halftime, finishing a play set up by Franck Kessié and Guela Doué against keeper Ernan. Despite the Manchester United striker's effort, the Ivorians were sloppy, with Kessié and Vakoun Bayo missing big chances. They almost got punished when Geny Catamo of Sporting Portugal blew a late opportunity to equalize.
Other games had way more action. In the same group, Cameroon beat Gabon 1-0 in Agadir thanks to an early Etta Eyong goal. Over in Group E, Burkina Faso pulled off a wild comeback against...
AFCON organizers are literally letting people into games for free. The Confederation of African Football and local organizers in Morocco are allowing fans to enter stadiums without tickets after matches begin, a move confirmed by a CAF source. This policy aims to fill seats for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Empty stands at games like the Group F match between Cameroon and Gabon in Agadir prompted the decision, even with an official count later given as 35,200 in a 45,000-seat venue. The strategy involves opening gates around twenty minutes into play for crowds waiting outside.
This explains the wonky attendance numbers across the event. The Group D game in Rabat between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Benin at the Al...
The interior minister told people to turn in their illegal guns now. Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak put out a Christmas video reminding everyone about a weapons amnesty program that started earlier this month. He said anyone with an unregistered firearm can drop it at any police station without getting arrested, but only until a specific date in January.
He warned that after that deadline passes, the cops will come for you and press charges. The program, called the Gun Amnesty Programme, is supposed to get a bunch of illegal weapons off the streets nationwide. The minister also pushed for people to keep things calm over the holidays, saying you cannot have any development without peace. He promised that all the security forces are ready and...
Some farm exec started handing out prizes to kid farmers. Isaac Agyiri, who runs Showbouy Farms, set up a new awards thing for students and schools that farm in the Twifo Hemang Lower Denkyira district. About thirty schools joined the contest, with Nsuem D A Basic School winning the top spot and getting a mini fridge.
Two other schools, Somnyamekodur and Atwereboanda, came in second and third, winning soccer gear. Two students, Stephen Arhin Mahama and Alberta Amoah, got named the best male and female agroecology students in the program. Agyiri said the whole school farm competition is about pushing sustainable farming and getting kids into the ag business early. He argued that letting students grow food teaches them real skills and...
A lawyer is in court over a sketchy excavator deal. Divine Effah Dartey, who is thirty-four, appeared in an Accra court accused of helping two other guys scam a businessman out of a huge amount of money in an eight-hundred-thousand-cedi transaction. His dad, a retired captain, got him out on bail.
The other two dudes in court are Mawuli Amenyo, a carpenter, and a warehouse manager named Jiang Tao. Amenyo pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and fraud charges alongside some guy named Rishan Mahanta, who is still on the run. The warehouse guy got bail, too, while Amenyo had to post a big bond. The judge set a future date for the case.
The prosecutor laid out the story. A businessman from the Western Region named Kofi Boateng wanted to buy...
