The AI chip race is increasingly running into a different kind of limit — not compute, but packaging, as supply constraints around advanced technologies such as CoWoS begin to tighten.

ADTechnology said it has signed a KRW40 billion (US$27.1 million) turnkey contract with a US-based AI fabless company to develop and supply HPC SoC chiplets for AI data-center applications using Samsung Foundry’s 4nm process.

China’s supply chain is laying the groundwork for a structural shift in car ownership and product lifecycles, as the concept of disposable cars takes shape amid rapid change in global automotive technology. The emerging framework combines hardware standardization, modular design, Tier 1 suppliers, and semiconductor companies, with Chinese automakers potentially using global channels to push the model overseas and reshape the operational logic of the auto industry.
