When AMD CEO Lisa Su arrived in China last week just days after Nvidia's CEO left, she kept a much lower ‌profile than Jensen Huang, who drew crowds in the centre of the capital as he posed for photos and ate local delicacies like Beijing-style soybean paste noodles. Just a year ago at the annual Computex trade show in Taipei, Huang ​said Nvidia's market share in China had dropped to 50% from 95% due to U.S. export controls. Since then, that has effectively fallen to zero, he said this year, amid Beijing's push for self-reliance in advanced AI chips.

TAIPEI, May 29 (Reuters) - At Taiwan's annual Computex trade show next week, the spotlight is likely to be dominated, as usual, by Nvidia and its products, but also by the island's central and growing role in AI infrastructure. Nvidia CEO Jensen ‌Huang, arriving in Taipei more than a week ahead of the show, more than made that point when he said on ‌Wednesday that his company would spend as much as $150 billion a year in Taiwan, which he called the epicentre of the AI revolution.

Samsung Electronics said on Friday it has started shipping ‌samples of its latest high-bandwidth memory (HBM) ‌chip, or the 12-layer HBM4E, marking what it said ​was the industry's first shipment of such products. Samsung said the chip uses its latest ⁠1c DRAM process technology, or sixth-generation 10-nanometer-class DRAM, alongside Samsung's 4-nanometer foundry logic base die. The move comes just three months after Samsung began shipping its HBM4 chips to customers in February, underscoring Samsung's ‌efforts to strengthen its ​position in the next-generation ​AI memory market ​by proactively supplying samples of ‌its latest products.

Even by the standards of the artificial-intelligence boom, the gains in chip stocks this year have been extraordinary. Sandisk has soared 570%. Intel has more than tripled. Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix have all climbed into the ranks of $1 trillion companies.

Oil prices fell on a new report of progress in negotiations. Iran’s state broadcaster reported that a draft framework being negotiated with the U.S. includes restoring commercial shipping to prewar levels within a month. President Trump, speaking at a cabinet meeting, signaled that he was prepared to keep negotiating but didn’t exclude further military action.

Chinese technology giant ByteDance is developing its own central processing units (CPUs) to support its growing AI infrastructure needs, three people familiar with the matter said, as surging chip prices and prolonged supply ‌shortages constrain its expansion plans. The move underscores the industry's rapid shift toward "inference," where AI models are deployed to perform agentic tasks ‌that demand more from CPUs, working in tandem with the graphics chips made by Nvidia that have dominated the AI boom. The shift has created a shortage of CPUs in recent ​months, and global hyperscalers including Alphabet's Google, Amazon and Microsoft are also developing their own custom CPUs to reduce costs and tailor performance to their specific workloads.

The frenzied rally in chip stocks passed a new milestone on Wednesday, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index posting its best start to a year on record. Samsung Micron and SK Hynix have all climbed into the ranks of $1 trillion companies. Investors’ enthusiasm for the building-blocks of artificial intelligence helped pull the stock market out of its Iran-war slump, while raising worries that a surge this dramatic must end sometime.
