◼ AI ASIC 趋势已明朗，关注数据中心铜连接市场。 从目前已获知的 CSP ASIC 服务器方案来看，使用铜缆进行短距互 连已成趋势。根据 Fibermall 报告，AWS 今年有望采购 150 万颗自研芯 片，大部分使用AEC互连，尽管Trainium2的计算能力低于英伟达H100， 但可以使用 400G AEC，随着 Trainium3 于年底推出，800G AEC 的需求 有望得到增加；虽然微软在使用 AEC 铜缆方面较 AWS 缓慢，但目前已 经开始使用 AEC 构建 AI 网络；谷歌 TPU 互连目前主要使用无源铜缆 DAC，随着速度的提升，可能会转向 AEC。尽管目前还没有 Meta 使用 AEC 铜缆的明确信息，但在其 Minerva 机柜系统中，使用了 2 个可拆卸 电缆背板盒来连接计算托盘以及网络托盘。该电缆背板盒使用了 112G PAM4 连接器和电缆，每个盒子包括 4 个电缆组，每个电缆组包含 384 对不同电缆线，在 8 个 MTIA 托盘，6 个网络托盘和 1 个机柜管理系统 托盘间形成了 1536 对电缆网络。头部 CSP 厂商之外，X.AI 也对 AEC 表现出了大量需求， ...

Oh, I'm drawing a divination stick that's supposed to predict my future. But I'm not at a Chinese temple. I'm at a bar in Beijing.These divination bars are popping up across major Chinese cities where you can order a splash of cocktail with a sight of fortune telling your palate. How should I say. The bar business has been declining, but spiritual buys are on the rise.The so-called metaphysics economy, including tarot card, reading, astrology, zodiac prediction, energy healing is one segment of the Chinese ...

Do you ever stop to think about the things you're not noticing. What if forces we can't see affect the things we do. I'm going to share with you some tricks to tune in to your surroundings.I learned them from the ocean. In the ocean, visibility is often poor. But sound travels fast and far.Marine ecosystems rely on sound. And yet, Jacustoau, who pioneered the use of scuba diving for humans to be able to breathe underwater, referred to the ocean as the silent world. Why.At a time when humans were getting clo ...

After 43+ years working for one investment research company or another, I finally retired. So now, I’m completely independent.

1) AWS Trainium: it remains a global debate whether Marvell will win part of the Trainium3 business (link). At least our checks suggest that Alchip taped out the Trainium3 design back in February, and the wafers were already out in May. Charlie Chan thinks Alchip has a higher chance to win the 2nm Trainium4, which should be decided this summer. Astera Labs and Alchip just formed a partnership in connectivity chip design (I/O chiplets). We think that may help Alchip compete for next-generation XPU ASIC proje ...

Asia AI Server Global Markets Research EQUITY: TECHNOLOGY Meta's ambition on ASIC AI server Meta's MTIA AI servers could mark a milestone in 2026F AI ASIC is booming; a potential cross over in units from 2H26-2027 In the world of AI servers, nVidia (NVDA US, Not rated) has been dominating 80%+ market "value" so far, vs. ASIC AI servers that have roughly 8-11% in value share (based on Bloomberg consensus estimates).

[CC may contain inaccuracies] How important is the Strait of Hormuz right now. And even if we don't necessarily see a closure or just disruptions in that region. I mean, massively important, 20% of the world's oil is flowing there and the roughly equivalent amount of the world's gas.What is particularly challenging right now is some of the jamming that's happening on GPS devices and the like, which which is a concern. The Strait of Hormuz is, at the end of the day, the artery through which the world's energ ...
