Recent reports indicated Taiwan Semiconductor and global chip designers and suppliers are fast-tracking the development of next-generation silicon photonic solutions to address the energy and data transmission speeds needed by AI computing.

K.C. Hsu of Taiwan Semiconductor expects the silicon photonics market to grow at an annual compound rate of 40% between 2023-28 to $500 million, driven by demand for high-data-rate modules for increased fiber-optic network capacity.

Earlier this year, Ansys collaborated with Nvidia and AI server company Super Micro Computer, Inc SMCI for turnkey hardware solutions that boost Ansys multiphysics simulation capabilities.

Ansys creates engineering simulation software to facilitate quicker decision-making, improve product and system designs, and optimize workflows throughout the product life cycle.

Price Actions: TSM stock is up 3.54% at $180.86; ANSS is down 0.32% at $320.25; and MSFT is down 0.86% at $429.80.
