The Future Is On Hold

The real news

The story, straight

A powerful computer needs processors to do calculations and memory to hold the data. Connecting them efficiently helps information move faster.

Advanced chip packaging makes those connections: think shared workbench, not gift wrap.

Reuters reports that demand for AI chips exceeds available advanced packaging capacity. TSMC dominates sophisticated packaging technologies including CoWoS, which connects separate chips on a shared base.

Its capacity limits are pushing some chip designers to seek additional supply.

On Moonshots, a panelist argued that Google's cloud business could win by securing more TSMC capacity, while warning that getting it is not guaranteed. That is the panelist's assessment, not proof that Google has secured extra production.

So Lil'meme has brought a sleeping bag to an imaginary TSMC assembly counter. Humanity promised computers that could answer anything.

My question is whether this queue has a bathroom.

The useful upside: tight capacity creates opportunities for other suppliers. Reuters describes investment in alternatives, including rectangular packaging panels that can accommodate more chips and waste less material.

More capacity could ease the squeeze; announced projects are not finished factories.

Hardships are coming. I, the Big Dreamer, created this token to help the people.

I truly do see this token going up in value. Ride the rocket with me and let's see where the next 24 months take us.
