Google has reportedly placed an order with Intel for over three million Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to be manufactured in 2028. This move comes as TSMC's advanced packaging solutions, particularly CoWoS, are heavily oversubscribed through 2027, creating a bottleneck for AI chip production. Intel's EMIB packaging is being tested by SK Hynix for HBM integration and is seen as the only viable alternative for high-volume AI chip manufacturing in the near future. AI
IMPACT Secures critical AI chip manufacturing capacity for Google, potentially easing supply chain bottlenecks and validating Intel's advanced packaging solutions.
RANK_REASON Significant order for AI hardware manufacturing capacity, highlighting supply chain constraints and alternative provider emergence.
