AI chip packaging demand meets labor pushback: ASE′s NT$5.6B Taiwan snack factory deal sparks strike vote (Digitimes)
|
|
|
ASE Technology Holding (ASEH) announced on July 30 that it would spend roughly NT$5.67 billion (approx. US$177.97 million) to acquire land and factory buildings in the Zhongli Industrial Park from Taiwanese snack maker Kuai Kuai, a move meant to support future capacity expansion at its Zhongli plant. The deal, however, has unexpectedly become a flashpoint, with the Kuai Kuai union recently holding a strike vote and protesting outside ASE's Zhongli facility....

DIGITIMES Insight: AI scaling is moving from chip shrinkage to system integration (Digitimes)
|
|
|
TSMC said the next phase of AI performance growth will depend less on shrinking a single chip and more on combining multiple chips, memory, and advanced packaging inside larger systems. The shift could reshape semiconductor competition, as demand for compute, bandwidth, power delivery, and cooling rises in tandem. The company outlined the trend at its heterogeneous integration forum during SEMICON Taiwan 2026, saying AI computing transistors in a single CoWoS package are set to rise more than 48-fold by 2029 from 2024 levels, while total HBM bandwidth is expected to increase more than 34-fold....

Google to test AI computing in space with first orbital TPU launch (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Google is preparing to send its in-house AI accelerator, the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), into low Earth orbit for the first time as it explores whether AI computing can eventually expand beyond terrestrial data centers and into space. CEO Sundar Pichai recently announced that Project Suncatcher will begin its first in-orbit test on October 1, with computing power roughly equivalent to that of a single ground-based server....

Synopsys and OpenAI to share revenue from AI model built to run chip design tools (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Synopsys is betting that the surest way to keep generative AI from eroding its electronic design automation (EDA) franchise is to build the model together with the AI developer and share the proceeds. The chip design software maker said on September 30, 2026, that it has signed a multi-year agreement with OpenAI to jointly develop GPT-Synopsys, a specialized model optimized to operate Synopsys' EDA tools, under an arrangement that Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi told Reuters was structured so that "it will not be cannibalizing our business."...
