@jukan05 The AI buildout is no longer constrained only by GPUs. It is increasingly constrained by the industrial semiconductor stack required to manufacture, test, and qualify the next wave of AI hardware.
UMC and Intel will have their jointly developed 12nm FinFET process in mass production in 2027 at Intel Arizona, media report, adding UMC sees a stronger 2nd half 2026 via price hikes on some processes, new orders, due to rising materials costs, while 2027 is likely to see price hikes across the board. $UMC $INTC #VIS #PSMC #HuaHong #semiconductors
Ayar Labs and Wiwynn are partnering to bring CPO to rack-scale AI systems that support next-generation hyperscale AI workloads.
By combining Ayar Labs’ CPO solution with Wiwynn’s rack-level system design and manufacturing capabilities, the two companies are enabling a new class of rack-scale AI infrastructure.
"UMC has been the undisputed foundry leader in the OLED display driver IC market, and is currently the only foundry offering the most advanced 22nm display driver IC solution. UMC offers the industry’s most comprehensive high-voltage process solutions".
United Microelectronics Corp. $UMC is quietly becoming an AI infrastructure play.
New 14nm eHV FinFET platform:
• 40% lower power use
• 35% smaller display chips
• faster OLED refresh rates
AI devices still rely on 14nm/22nm specialty semis.
