SK Hynix: US-Börsengang mit düsterer Prognose (Heise)
|
|
|
Chiphersteller SK Hynix feierte sein Debüt an der US-Börse ohne nachhaltige Kurseffekte.. --- Doch auch mit zusätzlichem Geld aus Aktienverkäufen wird SK Hynix die enorme Nachfrage nicht decken können, glaubt CEO Kwak Noh-jung. Längst befindet sich der Weltmarkt in einer Chipkrise und die werde erst noch ihren Höhepunkt erreichen, sagte er der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters beim Börsengang am Freitag. „Wir gehen davon aus, dass das nächste Jahr aus Sicht der Versorgung das schlimmste Jahr in der Geschichte der Branche sein wird“, erklärte er. Die Nachfrage der Kunden steige weiter an, während die Produktionskapazitäten begrenzt seien, sagte er. „Wir gehen weiterhin davon aus, dass die Kundennachfrage auch über das Jahr 2030 hinaus höher sein wird als unsere Angebotskapazitäten.. --- Dennoch gibt es Zweifel, dass der extreme Bedarf nach bestimmten Chips für KI wirklich von Dauer sein wird. Grund sind zum Beispiel Apples Bemühungen um Speicher des chinesischen Herstellers ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT)..

Apple Sues OpenAI Alleging Trade Secret Theft In Blockbuster AI Hardware Case
Apple has filed a major lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California accusing OpenAI, io Products, and former Apple executives of misappropriating trade secrets to fast-track AI hardware development.
The complaint details a months-long scheme involving former Apple employees now at OpenAI.

Die Einführung der Künstlichen Intelligenz hat vor allem in den USA einen Investitionsboom ausgelöst. Das schiere Ausmaß des Ressourceneinsatzes erhöht das Risiko einer Übertreibung.

Starbucks Using AI To Build Software Replacing Applications It Buys From Microsoft, IBM
Corporate America has been desperate to see a burst of productivity (i.e., cost cutting) emerging from the latest flood of agentic AI euphoria, and it is slowly starting to get it. Not everyone will be pleased.
Starbucks is developing in-house tools with the help of artificial intelligence that could replace some software applications it now buys from companies such as Microsoft and IBM.
According to Bloomberg, the coffee chain, whose stock price has gone nowhere in the past 3 years, is building alternatives to a Microsoft system that tracks inventory and an IBM tool that manages maintenance. Some of the Starbucks-developed software could roll out by the end of next year, pending the results of testing, the report notes.
Before the advent of advanced AI models, businesses were tethered for years to their technology vendors due to fear of business disruption and the complexity of building in-house tools. B...
