Delta Electronics Powers into Computex 2026
Most of the attention in the AI server boom goes to the companies building the servers. Delta Electronics makes the power and thermal layer they all depend on.The Taoyuan-based firm heads into Computex 2026 with its strongest first-quarter results ever and near-record April revenue. Chairman Ping Cheng recently told investors that customer demand is “very, very large” and current capacity “absolutely insufficient” – language Delta has rarely used in any prior cycle. Its booth theme, “Superior Efficiency, Shaping Sustainable AI,” reflects two decades of quiet mastery over the technologies now most critical to AI: high-efficiency power conversion, advanced cooling, and their tight integration.

Taiwan’s PCB Makers Stake Billions on the AI Boom
The AI infrastructure story has mostly been told through the lens of advanced chips and the foundries that produce them. But there is another layer of the supply chain, often overlooked, that determines whether any of these systems actually work. Signals must be transmitted. Power must be delivered across increasingly complex architectures. And the companies solving these high-density interconnect challenges are increasingly headquartered in Taiwan.

From shadows to spotlight: Taiwan’s OSAT giants power the AI
For decades, the companies that package and test the world’s semiconductors have been the unsung heroes of the chip industry. While designers like Nvidia grabbed headlines and foundries like TSMC earned Wall Street’s admiration, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) firms quietly handled the essential final steps of turning raw silicon into functional chips. That era of invisibility is ending fast. Fueled by the artificial intelligence revolution, Taiwan’s OSAT industry is stepping into the spotlight. The island controls 48% of the global OSAT market, employs over 130,000 skilled workers, and is home to five of the world’s top ten OSAT companies. What was once considered a commodity business has become an indispensable link in the AI supply chain.
