RESEARCH COVERAGE

Semiconductors &
AI infrastructure.

Coverage grounded in published analysis of semiconductors and the AI infrastructure supply chain.

01

Memory & HBM

HBM, DRAM, NAND, and the changing memory hierarchy of AI systems.

  • HBM capacity and manufacturing
  • Memory architecture and CXL
  • Supplier economics and memory cycles

What changes when memory capacity, bandwidth, and packaging become system constraints?

02

Optics & interconnect

The technologies and component supply chains behind the movement of data.

  • CPO, NPO, and silicon photonics
  • Lasers and optical components
  • Scale up and scale out connectivity

How does a new optical architecture change component demand and supplier economics?

03

Manufacturing, packaging & test

The production realities behind semiconductor roadmaps and capacity claims.

  • Advanced packaging and integration
  • Test, qualification, and yield
  • Foundry and fabless manufacturing

Which manufacturing steps determine good output, cost, and the pace of adoption?

04

AI infrastructure

How compute demand translates into hardware, infrastructure, and business outcomes.

  • Accelerators and system architecture
  • Neocloud business models
  • Power, cooling, and deployment constraints

Where does AI spending encounter a physical constraint, and who captures the economics?
