A senior TSMC executive said on Thursday that surging electricity demands from AI are making energy efficiency rather than computing power ‌the main constraint shaping future computer chip development. Kevin Zhang, Senior Vice President of ‌Business Development, said customers across smartphones to AI data centres are increasingly prioritising performance gains that do not drive up ​power use, as operators contend with the cost and availability of electricity. The shift is part of ⁠a broader turning point for the semiconductor industry, where simply packing more transistors onto chips is no longer enough to sustain performance gains for energy-hungry ⁠AI workloads.

TAIPEI, May 27 (Reuters) - Nvidia's chief executive said on Wednesday the chip company plans to invest around $150 billion a year in Taiwan, terming it the "epicentre" of the AI revolution and predicting it will be ‌the world's tech manufacturing hub for a long time. "Four years ago, five years ago, Nvidia was spending about 10, ‌15 billion dollars a year in Taiwan.

SK Hynix has become one of the world’s most valuable chip makers, joining an elite group of companies including Nvidia and TSMC.

Nvidia CEO Jensen ‌Huang said ‌on Wednesday that Taiwan ​is the "epicentre" of the AI revolution and the island ‌will be ⁠the world's technology manufacturing hub ⁠for a long time to come. Huang ​was ​speaking ​at a ‌launch celebration in Taipei for the chip company's planned Taiwan headquarters, which he ‌said will ​break ground ​this ​year with ‌plans to become ​operational ​in 2030.

The real threat to the tech sector isn't a lack of AI ideas, but a classic economic shock. The overproduction of computing power.
