Glass substrate as arch SemiWiki oct5 (1) (1)

The value of glass will be determined not by its material properties alone, but by whether it can expand the package architecture window and be realized repeatedly at manufacturing scale.

AI infrastructure is pushing advanced packaging into a regime where the substrate itself increasingly determines what can be built.

As packages… Read More

Tiny Chip Builders, Big Payday

Intel’s next big opportunity could come from something that sounds spectacularly unglamorous: connecting tiny pieces of silicon. Advanced packaging rarely attracts the attention lavished on powerful processors or artificial intelligence models. Yet it increasingly determines how effectively those technologies perform.… Read More

Data Center Energy Trends Force a Rethink of Chip Power Delivery

Intel Foundry published a two article series on chip power delivery that are worth reading. Here is a quick summary:

Artificial intelligence is changing the requirements for semiconductor innovation. Faster transistors and denser packaging remain essential, but their benefits increasingly depend on another engineering… Read More


Intel Foundry: AI performance now depends on the whole system

Intel Foundry: AI performance now depends on the whole system
by Daniel Nenni on 10-02-2026 at 6:00 am

AI performance now depends on the whole system

For decades, chipmakers improved computing performance largely by putting more capable circuitry on a piece of silicon. That remains important, but AI is exposing its limits. Large models demand enormous amounts of data movement, sustained power and effective cooling. A fast processor cannot deliver its full benefit if memory… Read More
