Its products are used in high performance computing, smartphones, Internet of things, automotive, and digital consumer electroni…
One company produces almost all leading-edge AI logic. N3/N2 capacity is allocated years ahead and every new fab is a multi-year, tens-of-billions bet.
What would prove us wrong. Weakens if leading-node utilisation falls while packaging and HBM stay loose — logic would no longer bind.
An accelerator is useless until logic and HBM are integrated on an interposer. 2.5D/3D capacity, hybrid bonders and TC bonders gate output.
What would prove us wrong. Weakens if CoWoS expansions run ahead of accelerator demand and OSAT utilisation drops.
