Why it matters
The strategic read
Turns advanced packaging into a contracted AI-infrastructure capacity lane rather than a generic supply-chain ambition. NVIDIA is pairing technology-roadmap work with prepaid U.S. capacity expansion, while Amkor is building a geographically diversified packaging and test footprint for data-center processors, networking chipsets and next-generation accelerated systems.
