Lite-On Technology is showcasing an 800 VDC power architecture, NVIDIA Vera Rubin-compatible power racks and integrated liquid-cooling systems at the 2026 Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit. The portfolio is designed to help data-center operators improve power efficiency, manage rising AI rack densities and integrate backup power with thermal management.

Taiwan's rail-kit and thermal suppliers posted broad year-over-year revenue growth in September 2026, but sequential performance revealed uneven shipment schedules. All eight tracked companies grew both monthly and January–September revenue from a year earlier, while four recorded declines from August. The results suggest that platform transitions and component availability continue to influence how AI infrastructure demand translates into revenue.

Pegatron Chairman Tung Tzu-Hsien expressed opposition to a proposal to relocate Taipei Songshan Airport and redevelop the site into an AI industrial park, arguing that major capital cities should retain smaller airports to support regional air travel and business connectivity.

The Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit 2026 recently took place in San Jose, California, as Taiwan suppliers joined the global AI infrastructure race with offerings spanning power systems, servers, connectors, networking, and optical communications. The event highlighted a shift from standalone server performance to integrated systems focused on 800VDC power, liquid cooling, and 1.6T networking.

Murata Manufacturing is considering additional investment and an earlier expansion of multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) capacity as demand from AI servers accelerates. The company plans to finalize the investment amount, expansion sites, and schedule before releasing its midterm financial results in late October.

As AI investment continues to expand, concerns are mounting over whether capital spending can translate into real revenue and whether data center construction is becoming excessive. Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell said AI development should not hit the brakes over safety disputes or bubble concerns, arguing that businesses and governments should build safeguards together while managing risks and maintaining technological competitiveness.

Asia Vital Components (AVC) unveiled new liquid-cooling solutions, including direct liquid cooling (DLC) and an In-Row CDU, at the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, held October 12–15 in San Jose, US. The company is expanding liquid cooling beyond AI GPUs and CPUs to support rising AI computing demand and increasingly heat-intensive data-center racks.

Rising AI computing demand is fueling capacity expansion in advanced semiconductor manufacturing, making water recycling, energy efficiency, and smart operations and maintenance key components of the green transformation of high-tech plants. Lealea Group's Tianyi Water & Energy Solutions is integrating water management, renewable power and AI-enabled smart maintenance. The company has also been selected for the AquaImpact Sustainable Water Mark at the 2026 Taiwan International Water Week (TIWW).

Wiwynn Corporation, CPO solutions provider Ayar Labs and Global Unichip Corp. (GUC) will stage the first live demonstration of an integrated compute system with real-time telemetry monitoring at the 2026 OCP Global Summit, marking a new milestone in their strategic partnership.

Cerebras Systems' shortage of data centre capacity was a key reason OpenAI turned to Nvidia GPUs to expand services for its next-generation models, co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman said at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026.
