first_img Chinese companies reduce eSSD orders, Samsung and SK Hynix increase supply to the U.S

ZDNet Korea reported on November 12 that storage companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have decided to allocate additional supplies of enterprise-level solid-state drives (eSSD) that are currently being discussed with Chinese customers to U.S. customers. Major Chinese artificial intelligence companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent have decided to reduce the scale of eSSD orders to below expectations, and storage companies are aware of this situation. The report states that after the U.S. strengthened export controls on artificial intelligence to China, the supply of high-performance artificial intelligence semiconductors such as graphics processors and high-bandwidth memory has become difficult, leading to a decrease in the demand for accompanying storage.eSSD is a NAND-based storage module primarily used for data centers, serving as an auxiliary storage device for data preservation. Insiders indicate that the main reason for the order reduction among Chinese companies is the difficulty in supplying artificial intelligence semiconductors. The U.S. government has effectively prohibited companies like NVIDIA and AMD from exporting high-performance artificial intelligence semiconductors to China, and the accompanying high-bandwidth memory is also subject to controls. Previously, Chinese companies had circumvented these controls through overseas entities and product disassembly, but these alternative routes have gradually faced obstacles, causing delays in investment plans.Another insider stated that the adjustment of eSSD supply plans for China by storage companies is true, and the related supply volume plans are being shifted to U.S. cloud service providers. This person noted that the storage demand from U.S. data centers remains robust, and the supply shortage may continue into next year and the year after. Industry insiders say that the tight supply of NAND in global markets such as the U.S. is still ongoing, and the reduced demand in China will be taken up by U.S. data center companies; this adjustment will not have a significant impact on the overall demand for NAND and SSD.

first_img Supply chain Chuanhuida slows down chip orders, MediaTek and World Semiconductor are expected to gain more production capacity

The Industrial and Commercial Times reported on November 10 that the supply chain has recently indicated that NVIDIA intends to slow down chip orders. The report stated that NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang admitted to infidelity and apologized in a letter to employees on the 8th, U.S. time. The board has initiated an independent investigation to clarify whether it has been targeted by foreign intelligence activities. Foreign media disclosed that some companies authorized to handle the H200 are suspected of being shell companies, raising concerns that chips may be transshipped to mainland China through shell companies and third locations.The report indicated that stricter export reviews and the accumulation of H200 processors in Hong Kong have increased the risk of NVIDIA cutting orders, with upstream supply chain players such as TSMC and ASE being the first to bear the brunt. The supply chain revealed that there have also been rumors of NVIDIA cutting orders in wafer foundry recently, stating that this would benefit other chip manufacturers in obtaining more capacity, including AMD and cloud service providers' self-developed chips. ASIC manufacturers indicated that as long as TSMC can provide capacity, end customers will fully take on the orders. Industry sources pointed out that if NVIDIA releases capacity, companies like WorldChip, Creative, and MediaTek are expected to gain more capacity support.MediaTek estimates that the first AI accelerator aims for approximately $16 billion by 2027 and has already secured a second customer. WorldChip has also obtained a second ASIC order from a major American company and anticipates that revenue will gradually expand next year and the year after. Demand for AMD's data center business continues to exceed existing supply. AMD CEO Lisa Su stated in a recent earnings call that large cloud service providers are expanding EPYC deployments, with increased demand for AI accelerators and cabinets. The Instinct MI455X has been shipped in large quantities, and multiple cloud customers and computing power buyers have activated the first batch of Helios.
