At Applied Materials' Advanced Packaging Symposium 2026, a clear message emerged: the semiconductor industry is entering a phase where AI performance can no longer be scaled solely through transistor improvements. Future gains in compute density, memory bandwidth, and energy efficiency increasingly

At the ITF World 2026 conference, imec CEO Patrick Vandenameele used the analogy of an orchestra to emphasize the complexity of scaling AI, highlighting the need for coordination across research, design, and manufacturing. He likened AI to a violin in an orchestra, underscoring that while AI is capt
