Glonghui, January 8th|Impacted by Samsung Electronics' preliminary results, ASM and BE Semiconductor led the decline among European chip stocks, despite the Korean company stating that it expects fourth-quarter operating profit to triple. Analysts at Panmure Liberum pointed out that as the world's largest memory chip supplier, Samsung Electronics' warning about memory costs and the knock-on effects on technology availability have dampened investor confidence in Asian tech stocks. European chip stocks followed suit, with ASM International and BE Semiconductor falling by 4.4% and 2.55% respectively. ASML, which has partial business cooperation with Samsung, dropped 1.6%. However, the sector has surged strongly so far this year, with analysts noting continued growth in memory demand and persistent chip shortages; ASM International has risen 22% in the first four trading days of this year.

AI infrastructure hits a "wall"! Marvell: Copper interconnects and memory bottlenecks become key to the next stage of computing power expansion

The AI computing power competition is evolving into a system-level game encompassing interconnection and memory. According to Marvell executives, inference models have driven KV cache growth by about 10 times in nine months, and rack-level memory can no longer meet demand. Copper connections are approaching their limits, making optical interconnection and memory expansion core to computing power growth. Customization has become an industry trend, and Marvell is set to benefit from its expertise in analog SerDes, photonic fabric memory, and end-to-end customization.
