Delta Electronics warned that existing AC-DC power architectures will face fundamental challenges within the next one to two years as AI server rack power approaches megawatt levels, and said high-voltage direct current power designs are emerging as the key solution. The company announced the PowerCycle MW-class HVDC supply that supports 800V and ±400V architectures and uses flexible rack deployment of power and battery backup modules to optimize space, cooling, resilience, and scalability.
Surging demand for artificial intelligence computing has accelerated the buildout of data centers, pushing system cooling closer to its limits. As power consumption rises, heat-related slowdowns are becoming a growing bottleneck for both computing performance and data-transfer efficiency.
MiTAC Computing Technology, a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings, has no doubt that operations will grow in 2026, according to company president Rick Hwang. The company has two new US facilities scheduled to begin operations by the end of the third quarter of 2026, while a new plant in Vietnam started mass production in April.
Pegatron is betting that the AI server market will keep expanding, even though it entered later than some peers. The company said 2026 will mark the start of a full-speed push as generative AI shifts toward inference and both agentic and physical AI begin real-world deployment.
At the earnings call on June 3, Broadcom said its AI semiconductor business continued to accelerate in the fiscal second quarter, with revenue reaching a record US$10.8 billion, up 143% from a year earlier, and bookings exceeding US$30 billion. CEO Hock Tan said demand for custom accelerators and networking remained "simply insatiable," adding that the company expects AI semiconductor revenue to double in the second half of fiscal 2026 from the first half.
Broadcom said its AI semiconductor business remained in an "insatiable" demand environment on its second quarter of fiscal 2026 earnings call on June 3, as it outlined progress with its six core customers, including Google, OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Apollo-backed programs. Chief Executive Hock Tan said the company's AI semiconductor revenue reached a record US$10.8 billion in the quarter, up 143% year on year, and added that networking made up almost 40% of AI revenue. He also said bookings topped US$30 billion, while shipments totaled US$10.8 billion.
Meta Platforms has unveiled its Meta Business Agent, an artificial intelligence tool designed to help businesses automate customer interactions and expand into what it describes as "agentic" workflows, according to its official press release dated June 3, 2026.
Data center power systems are nearing a major transition as GPU rack densities rise toward the 600 kW range. A new report from SemiAnalysis said 800VDC direct-current distribution is moving beyond hyperscale trials and could alter how data centers are built, powered, and regulated.
Memory module maker Goldkey said it plans to raise NT$6 billion (US$191.4 million) to NT$10 billion in working capital in 2026 through multiple channels as tight supply and rising contract prices fuel a memory supercycle. The company also plans to accelerate a shift into higher-value segments such as industrial control, AI, and edge computing after posting a 30% gross margin and 27.4% operating margin in the first quarter of 2026.
At the close of his keynote address at the Humanoids Summit in Tokyo, Hiroshi Ishiguro — one of the pioneers of humanoid robotics — offered a candid assessment of the industry's progress: despite decades of investment and research, Japan has yet to produce a truly transformative, mass-market application for robotics.
Andrea Gallo, CEO of RISC-V International, used his appearance at the MIPS Forum during Computex 2026 to declare that RISC-V has completed its transition from academic project to industrial standard — and that its dominance in physical AI is no longer a future prediction but a present reality.
