implying 57% growth in Nvidia's CoWoS demand in 2027. Rubin GPU ramp was slower +81-3-5208 6224

in Q226 due to redesigns, but we anticipate a steep pick up in H226 to reach 2.1mn for Ryan Sun

2027, with MediaTek expected to support 4mn units of TPU v8t capacity. Amazon ryan-za.sun@ubs.com

Trainium 3 demand is growing and we lift 2026/27E unit estimates to 1.8mn/2.8mn +886-2-8722 7267

(from 1.7m/2.3m). See our CoWoS supply vs demand analysis in Figure 2TotalCoWoSinterposerwaferdemand-Figure 12CoWoSdemandfrommajorcustomers. Christine Chen

More diversified supply ahead, but TSMC should remain the largest player christine.chen@ubs.com

As previously noted, we anticipate advanced packaging supply to become more

diversified from 2027-28 onward. We see increasing opportunities for ASE and Amkor in Diana Chang

H226/2027, mainly driven by server CPUs. Intel's EMIB-T is gaining traction, but we Analyst

diana.chang@ubs.combelieve Intel may face resource and capacity constraints in 2028, and will likely prioritise

internal products and Google/MediaTek's TPU v9 initially. Overall, we think TSMC's

advanced packaging sales should sustain solid ~50% growth over the next five years on Jimmy Yoon

its leading market share, rising content through 3D stacking, and tech upgrades such as Analyst

Along the semiconductor supply chain for cloud AI, our top picks are TSMC (the
