TrendForce集邦·2025-11-25 05:01Core Insights - The article discusses the increasing demand for AI HPC (High-Performance Computing) and the shift from TSMC's CoWoS solution to Intel's EMIB technology by cloud service providers (CSPs) due to capacity shortages and cost considerations [2][3][4]. Group 1: Technology Comparison - TSMC's CoWoS solution connects different functional chips using an interposer, while Intel's EMIB simplifies the structure by embedding silicon bridges directly into the substrate, leading to higher yield rates [4][6]. - EMIB technology has advantages such as a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) issue, which reduces the risk of warping and reliability challenges compared to CoWoS [4][6]. - EMIB can achieve larger die sizes, with EMIB-M supporting up to 6 times the mask size, while CoWoS-L is expected to reach 9 times by 2027 [6]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The demand for CoWoS is facing challenges such as capacity shortages and high costs, leading CSPs like Google and Meta to explore Intel's EMIB solutions [3][7]. - Intel's EMIB technology is being adopted in its server CPU platforms, and companies like Google and Meta are considering it for their products, indicating a potential shift in market dynamics [7][8]. - NVIDIA and AMD, which require high bandwidth and low latency, are likely to continue using CoWoS as their primary packaging solution [7].
