RAM-Gold: Für die europäische Wirtschaft wird es sehr eng (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Rohstoffknappheit: Der anhaltende Boom bei der Künstlichen Intelligenz lässt die Preise für Speicherchips geradezu explodieren. Das setzt nicht nur Betreiber von Rechenzentren unter Druck. Auch Preise für PCs, Smartphones etc. werden sich deutlich erhöhen. Europa besitzt derzeit keine Strategie, sich aus der Spirale zu befreien.. --- Wenige hoch spezialisierte Hersteller wie Samsung und SK hynix rücken dabei zunehmend in den Fokus der Politik. Ihre enorme Preissetzungsmacht wirkt sich unmittelbar auf europäische Betreiber von Rechenzentren aus. Angesichts dieser Marktkonzentration steigen die Preise derzeit nicht linear, sondern exponentiell. Das Kapazitätswachstum europäischer Rechenzentren wird dadurch systematisch gehemmt..

Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing split in 2025: memory rebounds, AI anchors foundry growth (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing side turned in a distinctly split performance in December 2025. The month can be summed up as: AI keeping advanced logic and advanced packaging near peak utilization, mature nodes staging a mild recovery, memory posting a clear cyclical reversal, and downstream segments such as outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) and power devices diverging by end market and product mix....

The great chip leap: China′s semiconductor equipment self-reliance surges past targets (SCMP)
|
|
|
China's drive for chip manufacturing equipment self-sufficiency advanced so rapidly in 2025 that even the country's planners were caught by surprise, as the ratio of domestically developed semiconductor equipment surged to 35 per cent by the year's end, up from 25 per cent in 2024.
The ratio was higher than Beijing's target of 30 per cent, set in early 2025 to encourage China's semiconductor industry to favour local suppliers over US rivals such as Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA,......
