半导体芯闻· 2025-05-15 10:07
据世界半导体市场统计组织(WSTS)统计,2025年1-3月全球半导体市场规模较去年同期增长 18.8%,表现强劲。从个别产品来看,内存销售额增长24.7%,逻辑销售额增长36.9%,表现强 劲。 在此形势下,各大半导体厂商的业绩进展如何?如今,2025年1月至3月的财务业绩已经出炉,对 比各家公司的业绩,好坏参半。这种明显的起伏趋势从2024年至今一直延续,各大公司之间可以 说"赢家"和"输家"并存。 台积电2025年1-3月营收预计较去年同期增长41.6%。台积电的销售额主要由逻辑产品组成,其增 长率远远超过WSTS统计的逻辑市场增长率。该公司无疑是赢家之一。 从图中可以看出,7nm、5nm、3nm等尖端工艺的销售额都在增长,而该公司的优势在于其在这些 领域的市场近乎垄断。 如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容 编译自 eetjp ,谢谢 。 选定的比较对象是调查公司Omdia公布的2024年半导体销售额排名前10位的公司(NVIDIA、三星 电子、英特尔、SK海力士、高通、博通、美光科技、AMD、苹果、联发科),其中不包括并非半 导体制造商的苹果,而是包括专门从事半导体代工(晶圆代工)的 ...
外媒:AI 客户对 MI325X 不感兴趣
半导体芯闻· 2025-05-15 10:07
Core Viewpoint - AMD's Instinct MI325X accelerator faces significant commercial challenges due to limited scalability and shipment delays, especially in comparison to Nvidia's offerings [1][2]. Group 1: Scalability and Performance - The maximum scalable configuration for AMD's Instinct MI325X and MI355X is limited to 8 GPUs, while Nvidia's B200 can scale up to 72 GPUs using NVLink interconnect [2]. - To build a cluster with more than 8 GPUs based on AMD, a shift to a different architecture is required, which reduces scalability [2]. - The MI325X has high power consumption (1000W) and does not show significant performance improvements over the MI300, complicating upgrades from existing platforms [2]. Group 2: Market Reception and Future Prospects - Microsoft expressed disappointment with AMD's GPUs as early as 2024, leading to a lack of follow-up orders, although Oracle and other companies have shown renewed interest due to AMD's price reductions [3]. - If the MI355X is competitively priced and supported by robust software, it may gain some traction, but it will still struggle to compete with Nvidia's rack-scale GB200 NVL72 [3]. - SemiAnalysis suggests that the MI355X could succeed in non-rack scale deployments if it has a competitive total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved software [3].
