AMD Su Zifeng: AI chip sales will reach US$2 billion next year
AMD predicts that its artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales will reach $2 billion by 2024, aiming to compete with Nvidia in the AI market. AMD expects fourth-quarter revenue and gross margin to be below Wall Street expectations due to a weakening gaming market and lower demand for its programmable chips in some industries. AMD plans to launch the MI300X chip, which is used to create technology like ChatGPT, in hopes of weakening Nvidia's grip on the data center artificial intelligence chip market.
❸ON
Semiconductor’s Fuchuan plant will build the world’s largest silicon carbide production line, with an annual production capacity of 1 million pieces
American power semiconductor manufacturer ON Semiconductor is building the world's largest silicon carbide (SiC) production facility in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It aims to complete equipment installation in 2024 and make Bucheon a global SiC production center. By 2025, the Bucheon plant's annual SiC semiconductor production capacity is expected to reach 1 million pieces, accounting for 35% to 40% of ON Semiconductor's total output. ON Semiconductor recently held a completion ceremony for the S5 production line at its Bucheon factory. The production line is part of ON Semiconductor’s 1.4 trillion won (approximately US$1.04 billion) investment announced in July 2022. At present, some equipment has been introduced into the S5 production line and has begun operation.
