The global AI competition has intensified. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CEO Lisa Su revealed for the first time at the Advancing AI conference the next-generation rack-level solution Helios, designed specifically for large-scale AI training and inference. It will feature the new MI400 series GPUs, Zen 6 architecture EPYC Venice CPUs, and Pensando Vulcano NICs, with an expected launch in 2026.
The power batteries used in new energy vehicles (NEVs) are mainly dominated by ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. China, which accounts for nearly 70% of the global NEV market, saw its LFP application reach 75% in the first quarter of 2025, up from 65% in 2024, demonstrating LFP’s strengthening grip on the NEV market.
Taiwan’s MPI Corporation, a major producer of probe cards and semiconductor test equipment, said artificial intelligence infrastructure demand is driving capacity utilization to maximum levels, with customers providing order forecasts stretching three years ahead.
