Samsung Foundry plans to expand its multi-project wafer (MPW) services to accelerate the acquisition of customers for its 2nm process.The company plans to begin offering MPW for the 2nm node in 2027 and intends to carry out a total of 18 prototyping programs across all nodes. This marks the first time Samsung has officially disclosed its 2nm MPW plans, demonstrating its strong determination to regain market share in cutting-edge processes. - Why is Kioxia holding back on capital investment despite the AI memory boom?
Amidst the AI memory boom, Kioxia’s cautious stance on capital investment is attracting attention. Contrary to market growth expectations, the company is limiting its investment scale, taking into account its financial health and the risks of market fluctuations. While AI demand is promising in the long term, it is analyzed that this is due to a management strategy that prioritizes profitability, carefully assessing the price fluctuations and oversupply risks unique to the NAND market. - China’s Nexchip rises to record market levels amid expanding AI demand, ranking among the top eight foundries
Nexchip, a Chinese foundry company, has achieved rapid growth, driven by expanding AI demand, and has surged to become one of the top eight companies in the global foundry sales rankings. In addition to recovering demand for PCs and TVs, capturing AI-related semiconductor demand contributed to the record-breaking results. As supply chain restructuring due to US-China tensions progresses, it is becoming clear that domestic Chinese foundries are steadily increasing their presence. - Physical AI: A Huge Market Worth 1 Trillion Semiconductors—Taiwan’s ASE CEO
The era of “Physical AI”—where AI operates in the physical world—has arrived, and the semiconductor market is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2026.The head of Taiwan’s ASE points out that semiconductor packaging technology will be key to this massive market. In particular, new technologies such as 600mm panel-level packaging are expected to serve as a trump card for risk mitigation and cost reduction, functioning as critical infrastructure to support the evolution of AI semiconductors. - What Is the “Main Battleground for AI” That Will Follow Investments in Semiconductors and Data Centers? PwC Consulting Presents a Roadmap for Corporate Success
PwC Consulting has released an analysis focusing on the “true monetization of AI” that lies beyond massive investments in semiconductors and data centers.For companies to build a competitive advantage through AI, it is essential not only to build infrastructure but also to design business strategies that deliver value to end users. The report suggests that the key to future corporate growth lies in the perspective of how to link AI—beyond mere technology adoption—to business model transformation. - Modeling multi-GPU traffic in distributed AI workloads (UW Madison, AMD)
A research team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and AMD has published a technical paper on modeling network communication traffic between multiple GPUs in distributed AI workloads. While training large-scale models requires numerous GPUs, communication latency is a significant challenge. This research provides crucial insights for optimizing communication efficiency and improving AI learning performance by accurately predicting and modeling traffic patterns. - JX Advanced Metals Expands Production Capacity for Optical Chip Wafers for AI Data Centers
JX Advanced Metals has decided to expand its production capacity for optical chip wafers that support high-speed communications in AI data centers.Optical communication technology is becoming increasingly important for improving data transfer speeds between AI servers, and the company is poised to capture this demand through the supply of high-precision materials. Investment is also picking up in the upstream sector of semiconductor manufacturing—specifically, the supply of materials and wafers—to meet the special demand driven by AI.
