- 1Taiwan cast as decisive piece in US-China tech war●# TAIPEI , # Taiwan – For the U.S. and # China , Taiwan could be the last puzzle piece to decide who wins the tech war.
Reporting from Taipei frames Taiwan as the potential deciding factor in the escalating technology rivalry between the United States and China. Taiwan's tech industry produces more than 90 percent of the world's most advanced semiconductors, the chips that power AI servers, giving the island outsized strategic importance as both superpowers compete for dominance in artificial intelligence.
- 2AI Chips Get More Efficient, Yet Data Center Power Use Soars●AI Chips Are 10× More Efficient. Data Center Power Demand Keeps Exploding
New AI chips are roughly ten times more energy efficient than previous generations, but total electricity demand from data centers keeps rising sharply. The paradox driving discussion is that efficiency gains are being overwhelmed by explosive growth in AI workloads, as more powerful models and wider deployment mean operators keep adding servers, pushing overall power consumption higher despite better hardware.
