Nvidia is significantly increasing its investment in co-packaged optics (CPO) technology, urging its Taiwanese partners ASE and SPIL to boost capacity by 15 times by mid-2027. This strategic move aims to address the physical limitations of AI chips by developing an independent secondary packaging layer, a departure from the traditional view of packaging as a low-margin commodity. ASE's long-standing investment in 2.5D packaging is expected to yield substantial returns from this expansion. AI
IMPACT This expansion in co-packaged optics capacity will be critical for enabling next-generation AI chips that require higher bandwidth and power efficiency.
RANK_REASON Significant expansion of advanced packaging capacity driven by a major AI chip manufacturer. [lever_c_demoted from significant: ic=1 ai=0.7]
