TSMC Preps To Ramp Up Glass Substrate For NVIDIA

Intel and TSMC launch glass substrate and platform equipment manufacturers to form alliance to grab orders​


Under NVIDIA's constant urging, TSMC not only announced that it has invested in the field of FOPLP, but will also restart the previously shelved glass substrate technology and compete head-on with Intel, which has already invested in the research and development of this technology for 10 years.

Not only TSMC and Intel, but Samsung and Huawei are also preparing for the battle. This huge upgrade of packaging equipment materials has updated business opportunities, attracting the global equipment industry chain to deploy and grab orders. Taiwanese manufacturers quickly established the "E-core System Alliance of Glass Substrate Suppliers" ”, the ant army grabs orders from major manufacturers.

From what we’re seeing of the limitations and shortfalls of silicon, and hybrid (silicon/organic) interposers, glass substrates or wafer scale integration are inevitable to for the data center.
 
Not much long-term competition from Intel if they jettison their fab division?
From the Bloomberg's article:

"But it’s more likely that Intel takes a less dramatic step before it reaches that point, such as holding off on some of its expansion plans, the people said."

That's one of Pat's plans, but as we all now know, as some have ~known for some time...

Pat's reach has exceeded his grasp.
