According to the latest supply chain survey by TrendForce, recent adjustments in TSMC’s CoWoS production capacity can be assessed from both supply and demand perspectives...
"TrendForce reports TSMC's recent CoWoS capacity adjustment is due to prior customer overbooking, but CSP demand remains largely unchanged. 2025 CoWoS total demand is projected to double, with NVIDIA as the largest customer, shifting to CoWoS-L with Blackwell production. CSP ASICs are also key CoWoS demand drivers, with AWS advancing from Trainium2 to Trainium3 this year. However, DeepSeek's rise and potential GB rack supply issues could impact future CoWoS demand. Overall, recent CoWoS adjustments reflect actual needs, but end-customer AI server orders and TSMC's expansion plans remain largely unchanged.
TrendForce indicates that NVIDIA will increase shipments of Blackwell GPUs featuring CoWoS-L in 2025, while US trade restrictions may reduce demand for CoWoS-S. NVIDIA's adjusted CoWoS order allocation strategy will shift 60% of demand from CoWoS-S to CoWoS-L, despite tight CoWoS-L capacity. Potential delays in GB Rack shipments and US export controls on AI chips could lead to NVIDIA revising its CoWoS demand downward.
According to the latest research by global market intelligence firm TrendForce, shipments of chips under NVIDIA’s new Blackwell platform, which is set to launch in 2025...
Major CoWoS supplier TSMC continues to expand its capacity alongside the ongoing growth in demand for AI chips, such as GPUs and ASICs of CSPs. TSMC came to a total CoWoS capacity of...
TrendForce forecasts that CoWoS capacity will double in 2025, driven by demand for Blackwell and CSPs' ASICs. TSMC, the major supplier, will expand capacity to meet the demand, with NVIDIA's Blackwell platform accounting for the largest share and CoWoS-L exceeding 50%. AWS's in-house ASIC demand will also significantly increase. While TSMC's capacity expansion may face challenges, overall market demand for CoWoS remains robust.
TrendForce’s observations indicate that NVIDIA is currently the global leader of AI chip supplier, and comprises of almost 90% of the GPU AI server market in 2024...
TrendForce forecasts that NVIDIA will focus on promoting its Blackwell B300 series AI chips in 2025, with increased adoption of CoWoS-L packaging and liquid cooling solutions. The B300 series will replace Blackwell Ultra, with shipments expected to commence between Q2 and Q3 2025, primarily targeting performance-focused CSP customers and driving the development of HBM3e 12hi memory. Furthermore, NVIDIA will continue to promote its NVL72 Rack solution, further accelerating the adoption of liquid cooling in AI servers. Improvements in CoWoS-L production capacity and yield rates will also contribute to its wider adoption in AI chips.
