ADATA Technology said it will present a cloud-to-edge artificial intelligence ecosystem at COMPUTEX 2026, bringing together its enterprise storage brand TRUSTA, ADATA Industrial, gaming brand XPG, and AIoT unit ATrack to showcase hardware and software integrations across data centers, PCs, and edge devices. The company announced partnerships and cross-domain integrations with Nvidia, Intel, Advantech, Asus ROG, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock, and Razer. It highlighted solutions aimed at reducing deployment costs and extending AI to smart living and mobility scenarios.

Powerchip announced it will present a "3D AI Foundry" showcase at COMPUTEX 2026 to demonstrate 3D wafer-on-wafer (WoW) DRAM stacking, interposers, and Si-cap integrated passive devices as part of an end-to-end offering for AI chips, addressing rising demand for GenAI and high-performance computing for memory capacity, bandwidth, and energy efficiency. The firm said it is leveraging its combined logic and memory processing capabilities, along with customer IP and product design services, to target AI workloads facing growing memory bandwidth and power constraints.

Kioxia is targeting 2027 production of its 10th-generation BiCS 10 NAND, a move that could help the Japanese memory maker narrow its technology gap with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as the South Korean rivals delay investment in their own next-generation NAND technologies, according to ZDNet Korea.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will reportedly cut employee bonuses by 15%, prompting some employees to voice dissatisfaction on social media. They argued that while TSMC's profits have soared, the share allocated to employee bonuses has decreased rather than increased, with some employees threatening to follow Samsung Electronics' union with a strike to fight for their rights.

Lam Research's Lam Capital recently held its fourth startup competition, drawing teams from the US, South Korea, Singapore, India, and Taiwan to vie for a sizeable prize pool. US startup Lightfinder won the top prize with a proposal centered on silicon photonics and intelligent software for a chip-scale spectrometer.

As the global semiconductor industry confronts the limits of Moore's Law, Huawei has unveiled a new roadmap aimed at extending chip performance growth through architecture, interconnect, and system-level optimisation rather than pure transistor miniaturisation.

Lam Research CEO Tim Archer said artificial intelligence and robotics can help chipmakers improve fab productivity as the semiconductor industry faces memory capacity constraints, chip-scaling limits, and growing demand for faster equipment delivery.

Nvidia's decision to sell its Vera CPU as a standalone chip could create a new source of demand for low-power DRAM, adding another pressure point to the already tight memory supply chain.

At its earnings conference, Weltrend Semiconductor described the first quarter of 2026 as an exceptional one. Despite the period being historically slow, the company posted year-over-year and sequential growth. Nearly all major product lines demonstrated strong growth momentum, with server-related products standing out in particular. Order visibility is now expected to remain strong throughout the full year. Meanwhile, AI servers are becoming increasingly diversified, with demand across GPUs, ASICs, and CPUs growing almost simultaneously, underpinning a highly promising operating outlook.
