AI ASIC 2.0 Era: Shixin-KY Surges, US Investors Bullish on Growth
AI Chip Boom: US Investors Bet Big on ‘ASIC 2.0’ Era
American foreign investors are bullish on the future of AI, predicting a surge in demand for specialized AI chips known as asics (Request-Specific Integrated Circuits). This optimism has fueled a rally in stocks of leading semiconductor companies like TSMC, MediaTek, and Semiconductor Manufacturing International corporation (SMIC), with SMIC seeing its share price jump past the 3,320 yuan mark.
The report from American Foreign Investors highlights the explosive growth potential of the global cloud AI semiconductor market. Driven by increased AI capital spending, the market for AI ASICs is projected to skyrocket from $12 billion in 2024 to a staggering $30 billion by 2027, representing a 125% increase.
US investors see significant opportunities for Taiwanese chipmakers to capitalize on this trend. They believe companies like SMIC and MediaTek are well-positioned to expand their market share, while TSMC will benefit from the intensifying competition in AI chip design.SMIC has emerged as a favorite among US investors in the Greater China semiconductor sector.The firmS target price has been raised from 3,800 yuan to 3,988 yuan, reflecting its strong execution and its role in developing cutting-edge AI chips.
SMIC’s success is partly attributed to its 3-nanometer back-end design expertise. The company is leveraging its proprietary Trenium 3 chip on Amazon’s AWS platform, positioning it for considerable growth.analysts predict a 23% increase in SMIC’s revenue by 2026, driven by its 3nm projects.
The positive sentiment surrounding AI asics has also lifted the broader semiconductor sector. On October 17th, SMIC opened at 3,180 yuan, while other silicon intellectual property stocks like Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), and Faraday Technology experienced significant gains, with some rising as much as 9% during trading.
