The AI chip is undoubtedly the lifebuoy of the technology industry in 2023, creating new vitality in the industry downturn. In 2024, this wave will undoubtedly continue to sweep through the industry with more services being created under Gen AI. NVIDIA, as it dominated the AI chip market in 2023, will be facing additional challenges in 2024, including whether in-house chips from the six major CSPs, such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, will pose as potential threats.
Chinese players, who can only purchase downgraded versions of NVIDIA chips currently, have also turned to purchasing in-house chips from China. This report will analyze which Chinese suppliers are being driven by this trend. Advanced packaging CoWoS that was regarded as a bottleneck for the capacity of AI chips throughout 2023, as well as the additional of new suppliers for 2024, will also be covered in this report.

Driven by advancements in AI and Generative Content (AIGC), the role of PCs is evolving to reshape how we use technology. PCs that offer a blend of computational power, efficiency, and security are becoming the preferred environment for AI computations and machine learning, enabling personalized AI applications on a large scale. At present, AI PCs are just beginning to emerge, with their development hinging on both hardware innovation and software advancements to propel the future of AI computing forward.
Based on the application foundation of AI within the industrial field, AIGC has welcomed a robust development among industrial segments, with integration of industrial software, including CAX and EDA, in the hope of replenishing for the dislocation yielded by the innovation of process technology and AI applications. This would fully improve the substantial efficacy generated by AI, especially for fields such as visual identification and virtual reality (VR).
Edge computing involves the relocation of computing processes from centralized cloud systems to the very source where data are generated. This shift brings about several advantages, notably a significant boost in computing speed and a reinforcement of data security. For the manufacturing sector, where precision, stability, and security are prioritized, edge computing emerges as a pivotal enabler for unlocking the true potential of smart manufacturing. Furthermore, looking towards the future, it is anticipated that the development of edge computing will fully embrace the trend of edge AI.
A smart city generates a large amount of data through the Internet of Things (IoT), which will not only improve traffic and increase the efficiency of city operations but enable more precise decision-making for city managers. Currently, the sensing systems in smart cities are still in the stage of extensive deployment. As communication infrastructure improves, the connectivity and sensing networks become more intricate. Through IoT platforms, data integration is possible, and as the volume of data continues to grow, these platforms will increasingly unlock the value of the data they handle.
