China's advanced chip supply to surge by 2035, Goldman Sachs predicts · 1 source tracked

Goldman Sachs predicts China's advanced chip supply, particularly at SMIC, will significantly increase by 2035, narrowing the domestic deficit. Despite aggressive capacity expansion, challenges in lithography equipment are expected to prevent complete semiconductor independence. The report forecasts a substantial rise in 7-nanometer and below chip production, with yields improving considerably over the next decade. AI

IMPACT This development could impact the global supply chain for AI hardware, potentially influencing costs and availability of critical components.
