AI server demand stays robust with GB leading H1; Rubin ramps in Q3. ASIC share dips slightly as GPU dominates. Component shortages cap general server growth. Liquid cooling competition intensifies.
Arm's AGI CPU marks a strategic shift from IP licensor to platform provider, targeting AI data centers and accelerating Arm's gains against x86.
Driven by AI and general servers, industry value grows robustly. Despite geopolitical risks and custom chip delays, NVIDIA and AMD's push for premium integrated racks significantly boosts average prices. Meanwhile, advanced packaging and high-bandwidth memory remain in tight supply, with liquid cooling officially becoming the mainstream standard.
Server DRAM prices surge on tight supply but future hikes will ease. Buyers globally rush to secure long-term contracts.
Rapid AI factory scaling is reshaping data center infrastructure. In the near term, independent power racks stabilize power delivery, while the mid-to-long-term roadmap points to centralized HVDC distribution and solid-state transformers. Meanwhile, next-gen AI architectures are fully adopting liquid cooling, elevating it from optional to essential and driving deep cross-domain supply chain collaboration.
AI drives huge server memory demand. Depleted inventory sparks surging prices. Custom chips disrupt processor markets.
TurboQuant breaks language model memory bottlenecks via lossless dimensional compression, drastically boosting efficiency. Plummeting costs spark massive long-sequence application demand, comprehensively driving structural growth and specification upgrades for high-bandwidth, main, and flash memory across cloud and edge platforms.
AI data centers are undergoing structural upgrades, with HVDC and independent power racks becoming the standard. As power density exceeds critical thresholds, demand for liquid cooling and power supply is surging. Taiwanese firms are leveraging their power supply, thermal management, and integration capabilities to evolve from component suppliers into system-level providers, securing core orders from global CSPs.
AI demand and surging prices boosted server DRAM revenue. Buyer stockpiling depleted inventory, fueling an upcycle.
NVIDIA's upgraded HBM4 specifications have delayed supplier validations. Samsung, leading in chip performance, is poised to complete certification first and increase market share, while competitors resolve design bottlenecks. Due to these delays, early HBM4 shipments face downward revisions, prompting clients to postpone next-gen platforms and expand mature HBM3e procurement to fill immediate demand gaps.
