面对AI热潮带来的持续强劲需求，全球市值最高的公司英伟达正全力确保其芯片供应。其首席执行官 黄仁勋亲赴中国台湾，向关键合作伙伴台积电寻求更多产能，凸显了这家台湾芯片制造商在当前AI供 应链中的核心地位。 据彭博社报道，11月8日，黄仁勋现身台湾新竹台积电年度运动会，并对记者表示，英伟达的业务"非常 强劲，并且月复一月地变得更强"。他透露，此次来台已向台积电请求提供更多芯片供应。 与此同时，英伟达的竞争对手，包括高通在内，也在努力挑战其在AI加速器领域的领导地位，并同样 在争夺台积电有限的先进产能。这使得黄仁勋巩固与台积电关系的举动，显得尤为重要和紧迫。 "没有台积电，就没有英伟达"的战略依存 黄仁勋"没有台积电，就没有英伟达"的表述，并非夸张的客套。深入分析其供应链可以发现，台积电无 论是在核心的半导体制造，还是在先进的CoWoS封装服务方面，都处于英伟达AI业务的中心。 这一论断也反映了英伟达战略的演变。过去，英伟达曾被视为尖端芯片技术的"晚期采用者"，但如今， 该公司正积极竞逐如A16等最先进的芯片技术，这意味着其对台积电的依赖程度只会进一步加深。 今年以来，这已是黄仁勋第四次访问台湾。他与台积电高管的频 ...
