Today’s semiconductor news focuses on the shift in pricing strategies within the foundry industry driven by the rapid expansion of AI demand, as well as technological innovations aimed at next-generation computing.While TSMC and Samsung are exploring wafer price increases amid strong demand for AI chips, Japan’s Rapidus has clearly demonstrated its ambition to enter the market by announcing competitive pricing of up to 3.5 million yen per wafer for its 2nm process.Additionally, the cost of HBM4e memory for NVIDIA’s next-generation Rubin Ultra Rack has skyrocketed to $1.5 million per unit, pushing the cost of building AI infrastructure to historic highs.Meanwhile, geopolitical factors and shifting customer needs—such as pressure on capital expenditures in Sony’s semiconductor business and the strategic exclusion of HBM-related assets from China’s CXMT IPO—are influencing management decisions at various companies.Furthermore, as the main battleground for AI shifts from training to inference, technological development aimed at balancing power efficiency and processing speed—such as the integration of optical technology into chips and the use of LPDDR for edge AI—is accelerating.

Main News
- TSMC and Samsung raise foundry prices amid AI demand
With the rapid surge in global AI demand, pricing power in the foundry industry is shifting to the supply side. While TSMC is considering a broad price increase, Samsung is pursuing its own strategy of raising prices by 15%, focusing on 5nm and 4nm processes. This move is expected to increase the manufacturing costs of AI chips while also contributing to improved profitability for each company. In advanced processes where supply shortages persist, manufacturers are seeking not only technological capabilities but also a balance between securing market share and maximizing profits through pricing strategies. - Japanese company Rapidus formulates pricing strategy to challenge TSMC with its 2nm process.
Rapidus, aiming for 2nm mass production in 2027, has set a strategic price target of up to 3.5 million yen per wafer to compete with industry leader TSMC. This price is intended to be equal to or lower than TSMC’s and will be a crucial differentiating factor for a latecomer to the market to gain market share. For the company, which aims to domestically produce advanced semiconductors, this price competitiveness is key to acquiring major customers and building a sustainable business model. - NVIDIA’s next-generation Rubin Ultra Rack will cost a total of $21 million due to increased HBM4e costs.
NVIDIA’s next-generation AI server, the Rubin Ultra Rack, is expected to reach historically high costs per server due to the soaring price of the HBM4e memory it uses. The memory alone costs approximately $1.5 million per unit, bringing the estimated price of the entire server to around $21 million. As AI models grow larger, the importance of memory bandwidth and capacity increases, and the adoption of expensive HBM is a major factor driving up data center capital expenditures. - Samsung Develops “Gaia,” a 4nm AI Accelerator for PCs to Compete with Qualcomm
Riding the wave of the AI boom, Samsung is expanding its business from its traditional memory business into the AI accelerator market.The new “Gaia” AI accelerator for PCs, currently under development using a 4nm process, is intended to compete with products from Qualcomm and NVIDIA. By optimizing its internal architecture, the company aims to improve AI processing capabilities in the PC market, reinforcing its commitment to capturing market share not only through semiconductor manufacturing but also with its own in-house AI chips. - Sony’s semiconductor business, pressure to increase capital investment, and Apple’s demands
Sony’s semiconductor division is being pressured to increase capital investment to meet the constant demands from its largest customer, Apple, for improved iPhone camera performance. Currently, the company is prioritizing financial improvement and restraining investments, but to maintain competitiveness, joint ventures with TSMC and the use of government subsidies are essential. As demand for high-performance sensors continues, Sony is being pressured to make strategic investment decisions and strengthen partnerships. - TSMC, ASML, and Imec are pushing forward with mass production of 2D chips in Taiwan.
TSMC, ASML, and Imec have announced plans to mass-produce 2D chips (semiconductors using two-dimensional materials) in Taiwan within the next five years. 2D materials, expected to be the next generation of miniaturization technology, have the potential to offer performance exceeding the limitations of conventional silicon. This joint project represents a significant milestone in breaking through the physical limits of semiconductor manufacturing and dramatically improving future computing capabilities. - CXMT’s IPO in China: HBM Excluded from Fundraising Plan
It has been revealed that the HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) business has been excluded from the fundraising scope of Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT’s (Changxin Memory Technology) IPO plans.This suggests that the frenzy surrounding China’s domestic AI memory market has temporarily subsided due to regulatory and technical hurdles. It appears that China’s semiconductor industry is restructuring its strategies while assessing realistic production capacity and market demand. - Optical technology is approaching the chip as AI transitions from training to inference.
As AI applications shift from model training to real-time inference, the importance of optical technologies to overcome data transfer bottlenecks is increasing. Technologies that use light for inter-chip and intra-chip communication, enabling high-speed data processing while reducing power consumption, are attracting attention. As AI infrastructure evolves, the introduction of optical interconnects as a replacement for conventional electrical wiring may become the standard for next-generation chip design. - The Expansion of LPDDR Technology in Edge AI Platforms
LPDDR (low-power DRAM) technology, originally developed for smartphones, is rapidly expanding into edge AI platforms.This is because high power efficiency has become essential in devices that require real-time inference, such as smart cameras, industrial controllers, and in-vehicle systems. As AI shifts from data centers to distributed systems, LPDDR is playing an increasingly vital role as a foundational technology that underpins the performance of edge AI. - Trends in Semiconductor Manufacturing: The Shift to Supply-Driven Pricing
Driven by the explosive growth in AI demand, the pricing mechanism in the semiconductor manufacturing industry is undergoing a fundamental shift from “demand-driven” to “supply-driven.”With manufacturing capacity limited, foundries hold the upper hand in price negotiations, which is driving up profit margins across the industry. This trend will fuel continued competition for investment in cutting-edge processes—and the resulting rise in manufacturing costs—over the next few years.
