TrendForce’s latest research points out that AI server design is undergoing a fundamental structural shift. From NVIDIA’s Rubin platform featuring a fully cableless architecture, to hyperscalers’ in-house ASIC servers adopting ultra-high-layer HDI designs, PCBs are no longer merely passive circuit carriers—they are becoming a core enabler of compute performance. The PCB industry is officially entering an era defined by high frequency, high power, and high density.
