The revenue charts tell a story that would have seemed impossible just three years ago: AI servers are now generating more money than iPhones for Taiwan’s manufacturing giants. For the first time in decades, Taiwan’s manufacturing titans are watching their bread-and-butter consumer electronics businesses get overtaken by artificial intelligence infrastructure – a shift that’s rewriting
