For major players like SK hynix, the immediate threat isn&rsquo;t a lack of advanced memory products like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), but the fundamental inability to package them into finished AI accelerators at scale. This is the failure scenario: a world brimming with AI potential, hobbled by a shortage of advanced packaging capacity, specifically TSMC&rsquo;s industry-standard CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) technology.</p>
