first_img Amazon expands AI cabinet delivery, World Semiconductor, Wistron, and Hon Hai show strong shipments

The supply chain reports that Amazon, a leading North American cloud service provider under AWS, has recently expanded the delivery of AI server cabinets, with strong shipping momentum from partners such as TSMC, World Advanced, Wistron, and Hon Hai. Amazon has recently revised its capital expenditure for this year, increasing the original estimate from $200 billion to $220 billion, primarily for AI infrastructure, including data centers, servers, and network equipment.Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is optimistic that the demand for AI computing power will continue to exceed supply until 2027, and he has even seen strong demand for 2028. AWS's AI business and self-developed chip scale have grown to $25 billion, maintaining triple-digit percentage growth. Annapurna Labs' customized ASIC chips are mostly produced by TSMC using advanced 3-nanometer processes.World Advanced is an important partner for AWS's self-developed AI chips and is optimistic that its quarterly revenue and profits will reach new highs this season, with continued growth expected in the fourth quarter. The demand for 3-nanometer AI accelerators is better than previously assessed, and designs can be finalized before the end of the year. AWS's ASIC AI cabinets are assembled by Wistron, which also supplies switch trays, while Hon Hai is involved in CPU trays. Hon Hai's rotating CEO, Liu Young-way, stated that this year's ASIC project has made new progress, setting a target for ASIC server market share at over 40%.

hot_img MLCC supply is in short supply: customers are raising prices two to three times to secure materials, with delivery times extended to 12-16 months

Driven by strong demand for AI, the MLCC market has seen a surge in price chasing and material grabbing. Industry sources indicate that some customers are willing to pay two to three times the price to secure supplies from major manufacturers like Yageo and Murata, creating a situation where the highest bidder wins. Yageo has admitted that AI-related customers are increasingly looking to lock in capacity in advance to reduce supply risks. Currently, major MLCC manufacturers are fully booked, with capacity nearing full load, and delivery times have extended to 12 to 16 months.In terms of capacity, Yageo expects the utilization rate for standard products this quarter to increase from about 80% in Q2 to over 90%, while special products will maintain a high level above 90%, overall trending towards full capacity. The company is also expanding production, with new capacity set to come online each quarter. Japanese manufacturers are also optimistic, with Murata significantly raising its annual profit forecast, and Taiyo Yuden stating that demand for AI servers has exceeded expectations. Industry insiders point out that large customers typically have a higher priority for capacity allocation, while small and medium-sized customers can only compete for limited supplies by offering higher prices. Yageo has noted that more and more customers wish to secure passive component supplies for the next six months to several years through long-term contracts to mitigate supply chain risks.
