苹果芯片,退居第二
半导体行业观察· 2026-01-18 03:32
"苹果的出货量依然巨大,品牌实力也无可匹敌。但该公司不再是晶圆厂、基板制造商或关键零部件 供应商的'锚定客户'。这是一个根本性的变化。" 这一点至关重要,因为掌控供应链的科技公司更有可能赢得竞争。当你能订购最大数量的关键零部件 时,你就能获得更优惠的价格和更可靠的供应。这将转化为价格更具优势且比竞争对手更早上市的产 品。如今,这种权力正转向英伟达(Nvidia)以及亚马逊、微软和谷歌(又称 "AMG")等大型云服 务巨头。 最明显的迹象出现在全球最大的芯片制造商台积电(TSMC)。台积电以前因大量生产用于 iPhone 的尖端芯片而闻名,这也让苹果相对于其他消费硬件厂商拥有了巨大优势。 但在台积电本周公布财报后,情况变得非常清晰:智能手机业务已不再是其最重要的部门。如今,高 性能计算 —— 这一由英伟达等公司的 AI 芯片以及超大规模云服务提供商主导的领域 —— 约占台积 电营收的 58%,远超智能手机处理器业务。 公众号记得加星标⭐️,第一时间看推送不会错过。 十多年来,苹果一直处于科技供应链的中心。凭借其巨大的规模,它能够决定价格、锁定产能,并主 导从芯片、内存到底板和封装等各类供应商的发展路线图。但那个 ...

公众号记得加星标⭐️,第一时间看推送不会错过。 如果人工智能时代的扩张势头减弱,全球最重要的芯片代工厂——台积电(TSMC)将首当其冲。而 如果人工智能时代市场真的萎靡不振,那将是所有市场巨头——超大规模数据中心运营商、云服务 商、模型构建商以及其他大型服务提供商——都对自身的市场预测过于乐观,以至于台积电将动用一 整年的净利润来扩建其芯片蚀刻和封装工厂。 在与华尔街分析师一起查看 2025 年第四季度的数据时,其中一位分析师问该公司首席执行官魏哲家 (他不仅与芯片设计客户交谈,还与他们的客户交谈),以了解这种人工智能需求是否真实存在。 "我也很紧张,"魏承认道。"当然,因为我们需要投入大约520亿到560亿美元的资本支出。如果我们 处理不当,对台积电来说肯定是一场巨大的灾难。所以,在过去的3到4个月里,我花了很多时间与我 的客户以及最终客户的客户沟通。我想确保客户的需求是真实的。因此,我与所有云服务提供商都进 行了交流。我对他们的回答相当满意。事实上,他们向我展示了人工智能确实帮助他们业务发展的证 据。因此,他们的业务增长顺利,财务回报也很健康。我还仔细核查了他们的财务状况——他们非常 富有。这听起来比台积 ...
DDR4涨疯了,大家被逼转向DDR 3
半导体行业观察· 2026-01-17 02:57
然而,由于需求意外激增,DDR4内存的价格最近也开始上涨,使其对预算有限的装机用户来说吸引 力下降。此外,制造商也在逐步停止DDR4的生产,并将资源投入到利润更高的DDR5内存的生产 中,这进一步推高了内存价格。 公众号记得加星标⭐️,第一时间看推送不会错过。 DDR3内存于2007年推出,当时英特尔酷睿2至尊版和AMD Phenom X4是市场上最好的消费级处理 器。自那时以来,PC硬件领域已经取得了长足的进步,但由于DRAM价格的飙升,据报道,中国的 一些系统集成商正在转向使用几十年前的硬件来组装新的、价格实惠的定制电脑。 据中国电脑硬件论坛Board Channels上的一篇帖子称,一些用户为了组装价格相对低廉且内存容量大 的工作站,开始购买老款Intel X99 HEDT主板和DDR3内存。这些主板本身支持DDR4内存,但据报 道,一些中国厂商正在销售经过改装的版本,这些版本可以兼容非ECC和ECC的DDR3内存。 X99主板支持高达128GB的四通道DDR4内存,但一些在线零售商列出了多款支持高达256GB八通道 DDR3内存的型号。这些主板和内存条大多与英特尔第六代至第九代酷睿处理器捆绑销售。 报 ...
