AI demand reshapes chip supply; advanced nodes and packaging turn scarce, with early lockdowns now defining leadership.
Key Highlights
- 3nm Squeeze: TSMC dominates as Samsung, Intel lag.
- CoWoS Spill: Orders flow to SPIL, Amkor, Intel EMIB.
- Design Shift: Larger chips drive CoWoP, CoPoS, and 3D packaging.
- Capacity: TSMC scales 3nm beyond 5/4nm; readies 2nm fabs.
- New Reality: AI race is now a supply chain arms race.
