Driver of a Computing Power Future
Alchip Technologies

Taiwan's thriving semiconductor sector demonstrates its economic strengths. The country produces more than 60% of global chip supply, and more than 90% of the most advanced ICs. In total, the semiconductor industry accounts for 15% of the country's GDP.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023, Alchip Technologies epitomises Taiwan's global semiconductor industry leadership. It is one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers application-specific of integrated circuits (ASICS), that are custom-made to perform very specific electronic functions. With an international presence in markets including Taiwan, the US, Japan, and China, the company is eyeing further international expansion.

"We are doing really well in greater Asia when someone wants to make a complicated ASIC chip, they come to us," says Alchip Technologies president and CEO Johnny Shen. "We have a lot of potential to grow in the US, and are open to broad international partnerships. We always deliver. When companies need computing power, they need a large-scale design with the most leading process and advanced package technologies, and that is where we come into conversation. We've designed more than 500 ASICS. All of the largest suppliers work with us, because we I have the field's most proven track record. When it comes to high-end integrated circuit companies, there are perhaps five in the world and we are one of them."

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie

PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
