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.
Key Highlights
- Market Momentum: Strong demand for AI and general servers drives record industry value. Despite geopolitical risks and ASIC development hurdles, server shipments remain highly resilient.
- Vendor Rivalry: With NVIDIA's certain lines restricted or delayed, Blackwell dominates. Both NVIDIA and AMD are pushing high-value integrated racks, while Google leads cloud providers in expanding in-house ASICs.
- Cooling Revolution: Surging power consumption accelerates liquid cooling adoption, transitioning it from an optional feature to a mainstream standard.
- Component Bottlenecks: Advanced packaging and high-bandwidth memory face tight supply and rising prices due to massive demand. Enterprise storage is also undergoing massive capacity upgrades.
