At the end of last month, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated during a global media Q&A that regarding the competition between NVIDIA chips and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), he firmly believes that NVIDIA’s growth rate will continue to surpass that of … Read more
Power semiconductors are the core of energy conversion and circuit control in electronic devices, primarily used for changing voltage and frequency, as well as DC to AC conversion. Power semiconductors can be divided into two main categories: Power ICs (Power Integrated Circuits) and Power Discrete Devices (including power modules). Power devices refer to the discrete … Read more
With cloud service providers (CSP) actively developing self-researched chips (ASIC),ASIC is becoming an important architecture parallel to AI in the server market, driving the demand for high-end PCB materials. The five major PCB manufacturers, including Zhen Ding, Unimicron, Kinsus, Kingboard, and Boin, have all participated in the ASIC application supply chain and are showing clear … Read more
According to a recent report by the Nikkei, Japanese automotive IDM giant Renesas Electronics may abandon the production of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors aimed at electric vehicles. In addition to canceling the planned mass production set for early 2025, the related team has also been disbanded.Supply chain insiders point out that Renesas’s strength lies … Read more
In today’s rapidly developing information technology era, integrated circuits, as the core components of electronic devices, are of paramount importance. Among the various types of integrated circuits, ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) are increasingly becoming the preferred solution for high-end electronic products due to their outstanding performance and efficiency. ASICs are integrated circuits designed specifically for … Read more
NVIDIA’s near-monopoly position in the AI GPU battlefield has prompted various manufacturers to accelerate the research and production of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), creating an atmosphere of “competition between NVIDIA’s GPUs and the ASIC army.” Notably, TSMC, which caters to both camps, has increased prices for its 2nm and advanced packaging technologies, further boosting its … Read more
The ASIC market is growing. This has long been a consensus in the industry. However, what is surprising is that the speed of ASIC growth is incredibly fast. Morgan Stanley predicts that the AI ASIC market size will grow from $12 billion in 2024 to $30 billion in 2027, with a compound annual growth rate … Read more

Next Generation TPUv7 Design Completed, set for mass production in 2026; collaboration with Google onTPUv8 (2nm process). Meta’s 3nm MTIA Chip: … Read more
ASIC Application-Specific Integrated Circuit. An ASIC is designed for a specific application, optimized for a particular task or function, but its wiring and connections are fixed and cannot be changed. For example, Bitcoin mining chips and mobile image processing units. CPU Handles general tasks. A CPU operates using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data), which is … Read more
The chip industry has recently been hit with concerning news: data from electronic design automation tools released by Siemens indicates that the current success rate for first tape-outs has plummeted to an unprecedented low of 14%. Just two years ago, this figure was around 24%, meaning the failure rate has surged by ten percentage points … Read more
