  • The recent findings from the AP-NORC survey show that a significant chunk of Trump’s supporters might be more inclined to believe what he says about the upcoming election results than they are to trust government certifications of election results.

    About two-thirds of Republicans trust Trump’s campaign at least a moderate amount to provide accurate information about the results of the 2024 election, while only about half say the same about the official certifications of results, the survey found. By contrast, about 9 in 10 Democrats trust the government certification at least a moderate amount, and an overwhelming majority, 82%, also have at least a moderate amount of trust in Harris and her campaign.

    Most Americans — around 7 in 10 — trust the government certifications of election results at least a moderate amount, according to the survey. Majorities also trust national and local TV news networks, as well as local or national newspapers, to provide accurate information about the outcome of this year’s presidential election.







  • Intel’s chipmaking business may have run into a bit of a snag, as recent tests using the company’s next-gen manufacturing process have failed, according to Reuters.

    To carry out the tests, Intel reportedly sent Broadcom’s silicon wafers — or the components used as a semiconductor’s base — through its more efficient 18A manufacturing process. After examining the results, Broadcom found that the process isn’t ready for high-volume production, Reuters reports.

    The 18A process is a key part of Intel’s plan to reestablish itself as a leading chipmaker. Intel has been developing this technology for a few years now, and it plans to start producing chips using the process with major partners like Microsoft starting next year. However, the company has had a troubled past few months, as it reported $1.6 billion in losses in the second quarter of 2024 and announced layoffs affecting more than 15,000 workers. It’s also dealing with widespread issues affecting its 13th and 14th Gen CPUs.
