Daily Tech News 17 July 2026

Top Story

TSMC has committed another $100 billion for four new leading-edge 2nm fabs in Arizona. (Tom's Hardware)

I'm not sure exactly why they chose Arizona apart from the fact that China is unlikely to successfully invade, but that seems like a good enough reason.

Tech News

India has fined Hewlett Packard 1.4 billion rupees for price fixing. (Ars Technica)

About tree fiddy in real money.
AMD's Ryzen 7700X3D is the company's latest though not newest CPU with what they term "3D-Vcache" - an additional 64MB cache chip stacked on top of the CPU die. (Tom's Hardware)

The problem is that it's not much faster than the existing 7700X unless you're specifically using it to play games, and not much faster than the existing 7600X3D if you are playing games, and both of those chips are around $100 cheaper than the 7700X3D's $329.
1Password now lets Claude use your passwords - without giving it access to the passwords themselves. (Nerds.xyz)

Claude sends a request to 1Password, the user approves it, and Claude ends up with access to the desired service without ever seeing the password. It's a pretty elegant solution to a situation set up mostly by crazy people.
Why is OpenAI selling a ChatGPT basketball? (Tech Crunch)

Good question. Next question.
