Moore Threads has entered a strategic partnership with Lightwheel Intelligent (Beijing) Technology (Lightwheel.ai) to jointly develop a domestic simulation and synthetic data infrastructure platform for embodied AI, highlighting China's broader push to reduce reliance on foreign AI computing and robotics software ecosystems.

The global race for AI computing power continues to intensify, beyond ongoing GPU shortages. CPUs, long viewed as secondary components in servers, are once again becoming critical parts of data center infrastructure due to the rapid rise of AI inference and AI agent applications.

Taiwan-based semiconductor facility engineering firm Trusval reported strong results for the first quarter of 2026, supported by continued growth in global AI computing demand, TSMC's accelerated expansion of 2nm process and advanced packaging capacity, and ongoing fab construction projects across the semiconductor, high-tech, and memory industries.

Global investment in AI computing power is continuing to boost semiconductor demand, and China's chip exports are surging in tandem. Data from China's General Administration of Customs show that China's IC export value rose 100.1% year-over-year in April 2026, marking the first time it has doubled and reflecting how price hikes in AI servers, data centers, and memory are spreading rapidly through

The global copper-clad laminate market expanded sharply as AI computing demand forced higher-spec hardware, and Taiwan's printed circuit board supply chain moved to secure second-source positions, industry data showed. The Taiwan Printed Circuit Board Association reported the copper-clad laminate market reached US$16.02 billion in 2025 and was projected to rise to US$21.5 billion in 2026 as server

Phison Electronics Corp. reported record revenue and profit for the first quarter of 2026, while Chief Executive Khein-Seng Pua warned that a severe imbalance in the global NAND market would push average selling prices higher and sustain tight supply conditions into the second half of the year. He said the company is accelerating a strategic shift into AI storage infrastructure and edge AI computi
