Global artificial intelligence infrastructure buildouts and rising capex by cloud service providers pushed Taiwan's July export orders for information and communications technology (ICT) products, led by AI servers, up nearly 90% year-over-year, while export orders for foundry and memory also rose by more than 70%. However, companies in advanced economies are encountering power shortages as they invest in AI infrastructure, exposing a bottleneck that highlights the need to develop AI computing and net-zero technologies in tandem.

Nvidia said its Groq 3 LPX inference accelerator is now in full production, a move that could speed up agentic AI systems used worldwide for coding, reasoning, and other tasks. The company said the platform is designed to improve responsiveness, lower latency, and support growing demand for real-time AI applications.

SpaceXAI plans to deploy Nvidia's new Vera CPUs to speed up agentic AI workloads, a move that could influence how advanced AI systems are built and run worldwide. The partnership also extends toward orbital computing, signaling a broader shift in where future AI infrastructure may be located.

Inergy Technology said strong demand for AI server cooling and power management pushed the share of server-related applications to 47% of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, with shipments of system-on-chip (SoC) cooling fan driver ICs set to ramp up in the second half of 2026 and battery backup unit (BBU) demand expected to keep rising as AI moves toward high-voltage direct current power architectures.

Commenting on the current surge in artificial intelligence (AI), Erix Yu, group vice president of Applied Materials and president of Applied Materials Taiwan, recently shared his perspective by tracing the evolution of industrial revolutions.
