From the second half of last year to this year, AI chips blossomed everywhere. Many AI start-ups in China have introduced their own AI chips, but Victor Peng, president and CEO of Cellings, the world's largest FPGA manufacturer, poured cold water on them, saying that start-ups should not start making AI chips from scratch.

On October 12, Beijing time, people familiar with the matter said that the U.S. authorities have begun to investigate whether the shares of Broadcom and CA Technologies have become targets of market manipulation plans.

As supply of 12 inch silicon wafers continues to be tight, major wafer manufacturers around the world, including Japan's Shenggao, Germany's Silitronic and Universal Wafers, have begun to expand production plans. In contrast, the mainland is also accelerating the development of 12 inch large silicon wafers. According to the current planning of domestic enterprises, it is estimated that the domestic 12-inch silicon wafer production capacity will reach 1.45 million wafers per month by 2020, covering domestic demand.
