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.
DRAM supply remains tight across segments; contract prices rise in 2Q26, led by mobile DRAM, as buyers rush to replenish amid shrinking supplier inventory.
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.
TrendForce combines its expertise in memory market and leverage it to provide a multi-faceted study of server market in this report. The content of it is as follows:
1. Server CPU Market: State of Competition and Market Shares
2. Server Procurement by Cloud Service Providers in North America and China
3. Projection on Shipments of Server Storage Products
4. Projection on Server Shipments for Current Year
5. Major ODM Partners of Critical Server Brands
6. Changes on Volumes in Server DRAM Procurement
7. Trends in SSD Procurement and Projections on Storage Form-Factors and Interfaces
8. Shares of Enterprise and Hyperscaler Servers in Memory Consumption.
Tight supply drastically boosts memory contract prices, though spot markets stall. Meanwhile, novel AI inference processors demand massive server memory, fundamentally driving strong future market growth.
Server DRAM prices surge on tight supply but future hikes will ease. Buyers globally rush to secure long-term contracts.
Major suppliers' exit from mature nodes tightens niche memory supply, driving spillover demand. Capacity limits cause low-capacity products to lead price hikes. Taiwanese makers aggressively raise quotes to close price gaps, while Korean peers hold steady, sustaining a strongly bullish market.
Supply constraints drive surging PC DRAM contract prices and early upcoming-quarter negotiations. Higher costs suppress consumer demand. Weak retail sales cause spot prices to fall, diverging from soaring contract trends.
Driven by AI, memory procurement has shifted to supply-secured long-term agreements. Suppliers enforce prepayments and bottom prices, raising buyers' financial thresholds. North American cloud providers receive allocation priority over Chinese and consumer electronics brands. Given the lengthy construction timelines for new fabs, long-term contracts are now essential strategies for buyers to guarantee future supply.
AI drives huge server memory demand. Depleted inventory sparks surging prices. Custom chips disrupt processor markets.
