Smith's success is due to its leadership in finding solutions and obtaining market information. Demand for central processing units (cpus) used in high-performance computing is strong, but the public market is only occasionally in short supply. PSMC will receive financing for the construction of a 300mm wafer manufacturing plant in Japan, which is scheduled to begin construction in 2024. The plant will focus on the production of logic chips based on 28 nm, 40 nm and 55 nm processes, with a monthly output target of 10,000 pieces. Demand for high-end Gpus for artificial intelligence (AI) applications remains high, especially Nvidia's A100/H100 and A800/H800 and AMD's MI250.
