Advanced nodes continue to move toward 2nm while on-device AI becomes the headline feature, which shifts competition from raw performance toward local intelligence.
Flagship silicon upgrades typically change requirements for high-end passives, power management and RF parts, especially on miniaturisation, efficiency and consistency. Following these changes helps anticipate the next round of volume part numbers.
Kewei's take: what this means for procurement
Every shift in fab capacity or process node reaches buyers first as lead time and price. It is worth doing two things early: review stocking cycles for critical part numbers quarterly rather than monthly, and confirm alternatives in advance.
