As demand for ever-growing AI compute power continues to rise and manufacturing advanced nodes becomes more difficult, packaging is undergoing its golden era of development. Today's advanced accelerators often rely on [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], which are built on wafer cuts measuring no more than 120 × 150 mm in size. In response to the need for more space, TSMC has unveiled plans for CoPoS, or "Chips on Panel on Substrate," which could expand substrate dimensions to 310 × 310 mm and beyond. By shifting from round wafers to rectangular panels, CoPoS offers more than five times the usable area. This extra surface makes it possible to integrate additional high-bandwidth memory stacks, multiple I/O chiplets and compute dies in a single package. It also brings [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Unlike wafer-level packaging (WLP), PLP assembles components on large, rectangular panels, delivering higher throughput and lower cost per unit. Systems with PLP will be actually viable for production runs and allow faster iterations over WLP.

TSMC will establish a CoPoS pilot line in 2026 at its Visionchip subsidiary. In 2027, the pilot facility will focus on refining the process, to meet partner requirements by the end of the year. Mass production is projected to begin between the end of 2028 and early 2029 at TSMC's Chiayi AP7 campus. That site, chosen for its modern infrastructure and ample space, is also slated to host production of multi-chip modules and System-on-Wafer technologies. NVIDIA is expected to be the launch partner for CoPoS. The company plans to leverage the larger panel area to accommodate up to 12 HBM4 chips alongside several GPU chiplets, offering significant performance gains for AI workloads. At the same time, AMD and Broadcom will continue using TSMC's CoWoS-L and CoWoS-R variants for their high-end products. Beyond simply increasing size, CoPoS and PLP may work in tandem with other emerging advances, such as glass substrates and silicon photonics. If development proceeds as planned, the first CoPoS-enabled devices could reach the market by late 2029.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Tomorrow evening, AMD will host its "Advancing AI" livestream to introduce the Instinct MI350 series, a new line of GPU accelerators designed for large-scale AI training and inference. First shown in prototype form at ISC 2025 in Hamburg just a day ago, each MI350 card features 288 GB of HBM3E memory, delivering up to 8 TB/s of sustained bandwidth. Customers can choose between the single-card MI350X and the higher-clocked MI355X or opt for a full eight-GPU platform that aggregates to over 2.3 TB of memory. Both chips are built on the CDNA 4 architecture, which now supports four different precision formats: FP16, FP8, FP6, and FP4. The addition of FP6 and FP4 is designed to boost throughput in modern AI workloads, where models of tomorrow with tens of trillions of parameters are trained on FP6 and FP4.

In half-precision tests, the MI350X achieves 4.6 PetaFLOPS on its own and 36.8 PetaFLOPS in eight-GPU platform form, while the MI355X surpasses those numbers, reaching 5.03 PetaFLOPS and just over 40 PetaFLOPS. AMD is also aiming to improve energy efficiency by a factor of thirty compared with its previous generation. The MI350X card runs within a 1,000 Watt power envelope and relies on air cooling, whereas the MI355X steps up to 1,400 Watts and is intended for direct-liquid cooling setups. That 400 Watt increase puts it right at NVIDIA's upcoming GB300 "Grace Blackwell Ultra" superchip, which is also a 1,400 W design. With memory capacity, raw computing, and power efficiency all pushed to new heights, the question remains whether real-world benchmarks will match these ambitious specifications. AMD now only lacks platform scaling beyond eight GPUs, which the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].[Only registered and activated users can see links.
