NVIDIA's fourth quarter, which concluded in January 2023, saw a 21% yearly sales reduction; nonetheless, the US-based GPU manufacturer has continued to receive significant purchases regarding its A100/H100 chips from customers all over, as well as for the weakened A800/H800 GPUs via Chinese clients.
The third quarter will see TSMC entirely using its 7/5nm production capacity thanks to follow-up foundry orders it has received for the A100/H100 and A800/H800 chips, according to sources in Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain. NVIDIA has also reserved CoWoS packaging capacity at TSMC in the meanwhile.
Besides trying to boost their smartphone gaming roadmap with NVIDIA GPUs inside, the sources also noted that MediaTek presently concentrates on the novice Chromebook market having a 20% share, and pointed out that the WOA platform devices would also increase MediaTek's foothold in the midrange to premium notebook sectors. An industry prediction predicts that 20 million Chromebooks will be shipped globally in 2023, the same amount as in the year prior.
