The notice covers certain products from nine series, including GRM, GRJ, GRT, GXM, GXT, GCM, GCJ, GCG, and ZRA, with applications spanning consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and automotive markets. Customers must complete the transition to alternatives by December 31, 2027, with the last order date set for March 31, 2028, and the final shipping date for March 31, 2029.

Saudi Arabia reported to OPEC that its crude oil production in August plummeted to the lowest level since 1990, with a daily output decrease of 1.9 million barrels, down to 6.238 million barrels per day.The resumption of hostilities between the United States and Iran has squeezed Saudi Arabia's export channels, leading to a reduction in crude oil exports of about one-third, down to approximately 3 million barrels per day.

A Reuters survey shows that Saudi exports have been disrupted due to the Iran war, and U.S. sanctions have reduced Iranian shipments. OPEC's crude oil production in August decreased by 640,000 barrels per day to 19.71 million barrels per day.Although seven member countries agreed to increase production, the conflict in the Middle East has hindered the implementation of the plan.

The Central Science Management Bureau confirmed on the 9th that TSMC's Central Science Phase II 1.4 nanometer factory expansion is fully accelerating. The first P1 factory has completed its steel structure and is expected to begin trial production in April next year, with mass production anticipated in the second half of next year, ahead of the originally scheduled mass production in 2028. TSMC has applied to the Central Science Management Bureau to set up two temporary offices at the site, which are expected to be completed in April next year, with the first batch of over 5,400 operational and outsourced personnel moving in.The advanced process new factory for TSMC's Central Science Phase II park broke ground last October, planning to build four 1.4 nanometer factories, with nearly 2,000 workers working day and night. The P1 factory is currently undergoing floor and exterior wall construction, with the factory building expected to be completed early next year. The P2 factory has begun basic construction and is scheduled to be completed in October next year, with both factories expected to start mass production successively next year. The P3 factory has obtained a construction permit, while the P4 factory is in the process of applying for a construction permit, planning to be built with a six-month gap. P3 is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2028, and P4 is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of the same year. After the P2 factory is completed in the second half of next year, an additional 1,000 operational personnel will be added, with the total number of employees expected to be between 9,000 and 10,000 when all four new factories in Phase II are completed and put into production.

Former Magic Eden community data analysis contributor and founder of Magic Lab, Ben Gruenbaum, posted on X, accusing the NFT market Magic Eden of changing rewards, governance, products, and strategic direction after users locked up $ME for the long term. He stated that $ME has a fixed supply of 1 billion, of which 225 million are reserved for active user rewards over four years and are unlocked linearly, with the longest lock-up period being four years and no early withdrawal allowed. After distributing 10 million $ME in Season 1, an additional 2.3 million was added due to issues, and the rewards for Season 2 increased from 8 million to 10 million.The community fund was launched with 5 million $ME. The proposal supported by Magic Lab requested 295,000 $ME (approximately $177,000 at $0.60), but the budget shrank due to price declines. Users continued to lock up during the shutdown of the Bitcoin and EVM markets, as well as the Runes infrastructure and wallet, with rewards shifting to USDC. Magic Eden promised $75 million to Dicey, and some top stakers reported issues receiving USDC and have filed lawsuits. Gruenbaum stated that this is not a story about the token's decline, but rather about changes in ecosystem factors after users made long-term commitments.

According to CNBC, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev responded to AMC CEO Adam Aron's criticism of the stock token business, stating that after a company goes public, its stocks will become transferable property, and other financial institutions should be able to create financial products referencing the relevant stocks without needing the issuer's permission.Tenev stated that publicly traded companies have the right to control their own rights and obligations regarding the issuance of stocks, but cannot control other companies issuing securities that reference their stocks. Robinhood's stock tokens are issued by independent entities and are backed by the underlying stocks, so obtaining the consent of the publicly traded company should not be automatically required.Tenev also acknowledged that holders of stock tokens do not have voting rights in the underlying company. These tokens are designed as debt securities supported by the underlying stocks. As for how Robinhood will exercise the voting rights associated with the underlying stocks, the company has stated that it has not announced any related plans.

The re-staking protocol Renzo Protocol announced its name change to Renzo Finance and launched its first on-chain structured yield product Renzo Basis, which will go live on Hyperliquid, initially supporting BTC and HYPE. Lucas Kozinski, founder of Renzo Labs, stated that basis trading earns funding rate income by simultaneously holding a spot long and a perpetual contract short. Since the long and short positions hedge each other, asset price fluctuations do not affect the yield, and users earn the fees paid by perpetual traders every hour.Renzo stated that the product achieves automation through a triple protection mechanism, including hedge protection, yield protection, and safety buffer. Currently, the product does not use AI automation but instead conducts trading and strategy monitoring through Hyperliquid's proxy wallet (API wallet) with user authorization, without holding user funds. The relevant protection parameters can be customized by users. Renzo emphasized that its product differs from competitors such as Ethena and Bitwise's Superstate in that it is fully on-chain, self-custodied, and allows depositors to choose their own assets, trading venues, and risk parameters.Renzo Basis plans to support all assets on Hyperliquid that have both spot and perpetual markets and expand to other DeFi platforms, with the next stop being Lighter on Robinhood, where on-chain stock perpetual basis trading will be introduced.

On September 8, TSMC announced that starting in 2030, it will adopt a new "high NA" extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine manufactured by ASML from the Netherlands for mass production. Both parties also stated that they will carry out industry-wide improvements on the high NA machines. ASML monopolizes the supply of EUV lithography machines used to form nanoscale ultra-fine circuits and will begin shipping high NA machines capable of drawing finer circuits starting in December 2023. Intel has already introduced high NA machines, while TSMC previously delayed mass production due to high costs and other reasons.TSMC and ASML will launch an industry-wide project to enlarge the photomask, which serves as the original circuit pattern, from the current 6-inch (approximately 15 centimeters) square to a 12-inch square, and develop high NA machines and related components corresponding to the large masks. A large mask pilot production line is planned to be established before 2031, and the high NA machines corresponding to the large masks are expected to reach a state suitable for advanced semiconductor production before 2033. Major semiconductor manufacturers and mask companies have expressed interest in participating.High NA machines can draw finer circuits, but the area that can be drawn in a single exposure is reduced to half that of traditional models, requiring multiple exposures for large chip circuits, which complicates the process and increases costs. Enlarging the photomask can expand the exposure area and reduce costs. TSMC Chairman and CEO C. C. Wei stated that the company will gather expertise from the entire industry to continuously promote technological innovation that makes advanced technology widely usable and convey its benefits.

According to the Chosun Ilbo, China's largest DRAM manufacturer Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) has launched trial production of the fourth-generation high bandwidth memory HBM3, with initial yield stagnating at 25%, about one-third of the golden mass production yield of 80%. SK Hynix has been mass producing similar products since 2022, with a yield exceeding 90%.The front-end yield of Changxin Memory's HBM3 8-layer stacked products is about 30%, while the back-end yield is approximately 70%, resulting in final good products. The company supplies a small number of samples to Chinese companies such as Alibaba's Pingtouge and Cambricon, and continues to improve yields. Its G4 (17-nanometer) process ordinary DRAM has no major issues, but the DRAM chips used for HBM have larger areas and stricter electrical specifications.The industry attributes the reasons to the insufficient maturity of Through-Silicon Via (TSV) technology. Nomad Semi's analysis shows that Samsung's HBM2 has over 5,000 TSVs per chip, SK Hynix's HBM3 has over 8,000, while Changxin Memory has about 3,000. There is a gap of 4 to 5 years compared to Samsung and SK Hynix.
