This memo analyzes the next phase of AI infrastructure investment, focusing on analog and power semiconductors, CPU demand in the agentic era, neocloud inference shortages, and materials bottlenecks amidst post-COVID supply chain dynamics.
This article analyzes Cerebras' upcoming IPO as a signal of the 'inference shift' in AI hardware, arguing that while Nvidia dominates GPU-based training, the future of AI compute is becoming increasingly heterogeneous to support inference workloads.
An analysis of the 2026 memory price spike and its impact on Apple's supply chain, discussing Apple's negotiating leverage and historical cyclicality in semiconductor markets.
Sandisk's market cap surges to $231B driven by explosive AI inference demand for NAND flash memory, marking a structural shift from commodity pricing to strategic long-term contracts with hyperscalers.
Apple and Intel have reached a preliminary deal for Intel to manufacture chips for Apple, marking a significant partnership in the semiconductor industry.
Rene Haas's Arm earnings call comments are interpreted as confirming the 'Vera CPU thesis,' suggesting a shift toward dedicated CPU orchestration for agentic AI workloads alongside NVIDIA's GPU infrastructure.
New research demonstrates that silicon oscillators can solve complex computational problems exponentially faster than traditional semiconductor-based digital computers.
A critical vulnerability in global semiconductor supply chains centers on bromine, a non-substitutable raw material for manufacturing DRAM and NAND flash memory. South Korea sources 97.5% of its bromine imports from Israel, and recent Iranian missile strikes near Israel's Dead Sea extraction facilities pose an immediate risk to global chip production.
MIT.nano announced that 16 new startups have joined its START.nano accelerator program in 2025, focusing on hard-tech innovations in health, climate, energy, and quantum computing.
