The semiconductor market began to rebound only in the second half of last year, so analysts tend to be cautious about its growth this year. In fact, both PC and smartphone segments are projected to experience a single-digit growth this year. However, there is a segment of the semiconductor market that is poised to grow by about 250% and this is AI accelerators, according to TSMC cited by TechNews.
TSMC estimates that the market of AI accelerators will grow by 2.5 times this year, the company revealed at its Technology Symposiums this spring. TSMC is, of course, particularly happy about this turn of events because the majority of AI processors tend to use advanced process technologies. Furthermore, TSMC produces more than 90% of AI processors as it makes Nvidia's GPUs for AI and HPCs, currently addressing over 80% of the AI accelerators market.
