Semiconductors of a new generation. Japan allocates additional $2 billion to young company Rapidus
Japan is allocating an additional $2 billion to Rapidus, which produces advanced semiconductors and is preparing to release next-generation semiconductors. This statement was made by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura.
“I would like to announce that a decision has been made to allocate an additional 260 billion yen to Rapidus, which will produce next-generation semiconductors,” said Yasutoshi Nishimura.
Japan plans to create its own production base in the country to ensure economic security, allocating large funds to support the industry against the backdrop of growing technological competition.
Rapidus was founded last year with the collaboration of the Japanese government, as well as Toyota, NTT, Sony Group and SoftBank. In 2025, it plans to start test production of the latest 2nm chips.
The Japanese authorities will also allocate $2.4 billion to establish a joint research center with the United States to develop 2-nanometer microchips.

276 hp, 10-speed automatic, 7 seats, all-wheel drive and decent off-road potential. Ford Explorer Kunlun Summit Edition introduced

Although the Ford Explorer is a large SUV, it is not particularly “passable”: its element is asphalt and a country road (unless, of course, we talk about special versions – for example, for the US police). However, now in China they have introduced a civilian special version, which is already quite suitable for regular outings into nature. This Explorer is called the Kunlun Summit Edition.
This car differs from the usual Explorer with orange accents on the rims, two orange-colored towing eyes, Bridgestone “toothy” off-road tires, increased ground clearance by 3 cm, a redesigned rear end with hidden exhaust pipes. Of course, there is all-wheel drive with a Torsen differential on the rear axle.
The interior has not undergone changes, except that orange accents have also appeared in it.
Under the hood, the Ford Explorer Kunlun Summit Edition has a 2.3-liter Ecoboost turbo engine with 276 hp, complemented by a 10-speed automatic. In China, the car is presented in two versions – with 6 and 7 seats, but the price is the same: $ 56,500.
