Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is considering broadening its business to include advanced memorychip manufacturing, The Information reported on Friday, a move that would give the world’s largest chipmaker an even bigger share of the artificial intelligence (AI) hardware supply chain. TSMC began drafting plans to produce a particular type of advanced memory chips, known as 3D DRAM, at the request of Nvidia Corp, its biggest customer, The Information reported, citing two people familiar with the plans. The company is also exploring acquiring a plant and converting it for memory production, the report said. The push is helmed by Hsu Kuo-chin (徐國晉),
A global race to build artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure is unleashing billions of dollars of investment in advanced chip packaging, a once unglamorous aspect of technology that has become a critical bottleneck in turning out the world’s most powerful processors. As demand for AI chips outstrips available packaging capacity, companies from Nvidia Corp and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD) to lesser-known players in Taiwan are expanding production, while equipment makers develop new tools, interviews with more than a dozen industry executives and analysts show. "Packaging was always that thing that you just didn’t worry about," former Intel Corp chief executive officer Pat
CoreWeave Inc sent a letter to Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa seeking to work with her incoming administration on present and future data center projects in the state. “You have made clear that data center growth must work for Texas,” CoreWeave co-founder and chief executive officer Michael Intrator said in the statement. “We strongly support those principles.” “We welcome the opportunity to work with your transition team on the responsible completion of permitted projects and on clear, durable standards for future development,” he said. Artificial intelligence (AI) companies are navigating a shifting political landscape that is increasingly hostile toward data center development. Democrats prevailed
ACTIVE COUNTERMEASURES: The NSF has stepped in for the 10th time since its establishment, giving local markets a massive single-day gain following an AI plunge Taiwanese shares posted their second-largest single-day point gain yesterday after the management committee of the National Stabilization Fund (NSF) authorized market intervention on Friday following the longest selling streak since 2022 amid a global artificial intelligence (AI) stock rout. The rebound also came after Taiwan’s financial regulator pledged to take steps from yesterday to calm investor nerves, including capping the volume of intraday short-sale orders for borrowed securities at 3 percent of a stock’s average daily trading volume over the preceding 30 days, down from 30 percent previously, and raising the minimum margin requirement for short-selling activities to 130 percent from
