Industry Analysis
The AI infrastructure surge is triggering a deep restructuring of the semiconductor stack. PCIe Gen6 and CXL adoption isn’t just boosting demand for retimers and SerDes—it’s forcing rapid iteration in advanced packaging and HBM stacking, directly benefiting Microchip and TI’s signal integrity leadership. However, escalating U.S. export controls have compelled equipment makers like Amtech to reassess delivery strategies across Taiwan, China and mainland China, raising compliance costs by over 15%. With NVIDIA developing in-house optical DSPs and Marvell strengthening its CXL controller portfolio, Semtech must accelerate its TIA migration to 800G/1.6T platforms or risk exclusion from premium data center supply chains. Over the next 18 months, as AI clusters shift from training to inference, low-power, high-density connectivity will decide market winners—with Vishay’s power modules positioned as a dark horse.
