🚨 Tesla is now revolutionizing AI infrastructure in the Ai era: The perception of the semiconductor industry has begun!
Nvidia has announced a historic partnership with a W7 trillion investment in Intel. It’s not just a funding move, but a declaration to usher in a new era of AI computing through the full integration of CPUs and GPUs.
💡 3 key points
1️⃣ Innovation in technology integration: Building a fully-integrated CPU-GPU platform for data centers
2️⃣ Inevitable: China’s order to stop buying Nvidia chips threatens to lose huge market / Secures production base in U.S. to break away from dependence on TSMC
3️⃣ Birth of a new technology block: The Iron Curtain formation of the U.S.-led ‘Intel Empire’
🎯 Changes in AI semiconductor market and reorganization of competitive landscape
🔴 Companies to be hit:
AMD: CPU-GPU Integrated APU Concerns Over Loss of Competitiveness (Shares Plunge 5%)
TSMC: Nvidia Exclusive Supply Position Cracks
🟢 Prospective beneficiaries:
SK Hynix: Directly Benefiting from Surging HBM Demand (Market Forecast to Grow 70% in 2025)
Samsung Electronics: Increasing Foundry Opportunities, Nvidia’s Third Partner Possible
🔮 The beginning of a shift in the AI computing paradigm!
The partnership is an AI version of the 1990s ‘Wintel Alliance’. However, its influence will affect the AI ecosystem as a whole, from PCs to clouds, edge devices, and mobile devices.
It is also noteworthy that both sides are AI democratization vs. technology monopoly. Integrated chips will lower manufacturing costs, allowing AI to run on personal PCs, but at the same time, Nvidia-Intel platform dependency is expected to intensify.
