Lucas and Luna sit down at a lab bench cluttered with oscilloscopes and prototype boards to talk about the engineering decisions that shape the chips powering modern life. Each episode takes one piece of hardware — a new RISC-V core, a GaN power amplifier, a MEMS accelerometer — and examines its design trade-offs, yield challenges, and market positioning. They discuss why Intel’s 20A node matters for foundry customers, how TSMC’s CoWoS packaging affects AI accelerator supply, and what the CHIPS Act subsidies mean for domestic fab construction. Lucas brings the component-level knowledge (threshold voltages, die sizes, lithography steps); Luna pushes on the system-level implications (thermal constraints, software compatibility, supply chain risk). The listener is someone who reads datasheets for fun, follows EDA tool announcements, or needs to decide between an FPGA and an ASIC for their next product. No hot takes on Apple’s latest chip — just a careful look at what the die shot reveals

How Lithography Machines Are Winning The War For Moore's Law
Sep 19, 20268 minS4
We dig into the staggering economics of extreme ultraviolet lithography and why ASML’s monopoly isn’t just about optics, but about global supply chain fragility. With chip manufacturing costs hitting record highs in late 2026, we explore how a single machine can cost over three hundred million dollars and why the next generation of logic chips depends entirely on this fragile ecosystem. #ASML #SemiconductorManufacturing #EUV_Lithography #ChipDesign #HardwareEngineering #SupplyChainRisk #TechInfrastructure #AdvancedPackaging #MooreLaw #OpticalEngineering #GlobalTrade #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechnologyTrends #ManufacturingInnovation #CapitalExpenditure #TheHardwarePodcast #ChipWar Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Chiplet Packaging Is Reshaping Semiconductor Economics
Sep 18, 202613 minS4
The semiconductor industry is hitting a physical wall with monolithic chip design. This episode explores how chiplet technology, pioneered by companies like AMD and Intel, breaks large processors into smaller, specialized dies connected via advanced packaging. We examine the economic logic behind this shift: why manufacturing smaller pieces is cheaper than one giant wafer, how interconnect standards like UCIe are changing supply chains, and what this means for Moore's Law in 2026. From data center efficiency to consumer electronics, we drill into the engineering and business realities of heterogeneous integration. #ChipletTechnology #AdvancedPackaging #SemiconductorIndustry #HeterogeneousIntegration #AMD #Intel #UCIeStandard #MooreLaw #WaferYield #DataCenterEfficiency #ElectronicEngineering #TechEconomics #SupplyChainInnovation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HardwareInnovation #ComputeArchitecture #ManufacturingCosts Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We explore why MicroLED displays have been the holy grail of consumer electronics for a decade and what finally changed in 2026. Lucas and Luna break down the manufacturing bottleneck that kept prices prohibitive, the role of hybrid bonding in scaling production, and how Samsung Display is using this tech to create the first truly commercial AR glasses. We look at the specific luminance levels required for outdoor visibility and why this matters more than resolution for the next generation of spatial computing. #MicroLED #SamsungDisplay #AugmentedReality #SpatialComputing #HybridBonding #OLEDAlternatives #ConsumerElectronics #DisplayTechnology #ManufacturingScale #Luminance #ARGlasses #TechEngineering #BusinessStrategy #MarketAdoption #HardwareInnovation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheHardwarePodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Wafer Scale Integration Is Reshaping Chip Design
Sep 14, 202613 minS4
Lucas and Luna explore Wafer Scale Integration, a technology that treats an entire silicon wafer as a single processor. They break down why Intel and others are pursuing this approach to bypass the physical limits of Moore’s Law. The conversation details how linking thousands of cores across a six-inch circle changes performance per watt for data centers. They also discuss the manufacturing risks, yield challenges, and what this means for the future of high-performance computing in September 2026. #WaferScaleIntegration #ChipDesign #SemiconductorIndustry #Intel #MooreSlaw #DataCenterTech #SiliconPhotonic #EdgeComputing #HardwareEngineering #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends2026 #ProcessingPower #ManufacturingYield #AIHardware #ComputeArchitecture #ElectronicsInnovation #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How Edge AI Chips Are Killing The Cloud Dependency
Sep 13, 20269 minS4
We break down why the next wave of artificial intelligence isn't happening in massive data centers, but on your desk. Lucas and Luna explore the engineering shift toward TinyML and edge computing, focusing on how specialized low-power chips from companies like Arm and Qualcomm are enabling real-time decision-making without sending data to the cloud. We look at the specific latency benefits for industrial automation and the privacy implications for consumer devices. This episode covers the hardware trade-offs between inference speed and power consumption, explaining why a $5 microcontroller can now do tasks that used to require a server farm. #EdgeAI #TinyML #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechnologyTrends #MachineLearningHardware #ArmHoldings #Qualcomm #IoTDevices #DataPrivacy #LatencyReduction #CloudComputing #Microcontrollers #IndustrialAutomation #ConsumerElectronics #TechEngineering #SmartDevices #SiliconInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Recent guests on The Hardware Podcast with Fexingo: Chips, Devices, and Electronics Engineering Conversations. Study who booked and why before you pitch.
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
