Industry Analysis
Qnity’s advanced packaging hub signals a strategic pivot: packaging is no longer a back-end afterthought but a performance-defining layer for AI chips. Technically, this forces co-evolution across EDA tools, interposer materials, and thermal solutions, accelerating Chiplet standardization. Geopolitically, advanced packaging offers a 'performance detour' around process-node restrictions, though export controls could inflate capex by 15–20%. TSMC (Taiwan, China) and ASE will likely fortify CoWoS/FOCoS moats, while Intel may open its Foveros platform to lure fabless clients. Within 18 months, heterogeneous integration capability will dictate pricing power—fabless firms lacking it risk obsolescence as the industry enters a decisive consolidation phase.
