The $1.5 billion deal between NVIDIA and Amkor marks a pivotal shift in the AI chip supply chain, reinforcing U.S. manufacturing capabilities amid global semiconductor reshoring trends. This agreement not only expands Amkor’s advanced packaging and testing capacity but also strengthens its strategic position in high-end technologies like HBM and 3D integration, which are critical for next-gen AI hardware.
