SMIC Revises Chip Cycle Forecasts

According to reports, SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation) has indicated that strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector is significantly impacting chip production cycles. This pull-forward by the AI sector is leading to a re-evaluation of pricing strategies, particularly for more established production nodes.

Price Increase for Mature Nodes

The company has announced a price increase for its mature production nodes. This decision reflects strong demand and limited production capacity, as companies rush to secure the resources needed to power their artificial intelligence initiatives. SMIC's move could have a ripple effect across the entire semiconductor supply chain.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
