Apple Is In For A Sticker Shock In Q3, With LPDDR5X DRAM Costs Surging By $68.8 In A Single Quarter, As Operating Profit Margin For General-Purpose DRAM To Hit 90% Within The Year

With an ecosystem of over 1.5 billion devices worldwide, Apple has historically enjoyed a heretofore unprecedented leverage with its supply chain partners. Yet, as the ongoing DRAM squeeze shows no sign of abating, Apple's leverage has largely become impotent, setting the stage for an atypical outcome where LPDDR5X modules are now dictating Cupertino-based tech giant's product roadmap and pricing.

Apple used to secure memory chips via 1-year or even longer contracts, winning hefty discounts relative to the prevailing market price of


TSMC and Intel Race to Replace Organic Substrates With Glass & Panel-Level Packaging, as a $650M Market Expected To Balloon Past $8 Billion by 2030

Panel-Level Packaging (FOPLP) and Glass Substrates are going to drive the next chapter in advanced packaging, with the market exceeding $8 Billion by 2030.

TSMC & Intel are the two major semiconductor firms that are accelerating next-gen glass core substrates for panel-level packages . These two technologies go hand in hand in powering the next generation of semiconductors and come with major advantages over traditional organic substrates and wafer-level packages.

The high compute demand is one of the major drivers of these technologies

A bar chart titled 'FOPLP Panel Capacity by Region Forecast 2024-2030F' shows an increase in capacity, with Mainland China consistently leading.
