This study focuses on how next-generation chiplet architectures, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and advanced packaging technologies such as 2.5D/3D integration and fan-out wafer-level packaging are enabling the next wave of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) system architectures, rather than providing a broad packaging market overview. It analyzes how chiplet-based partitioning, open die-to-die interconnect standards, and tightly coupled HBM integration unlock higher bandwidth, improved yield, reduced design complexity, and scalable, modular platforms that overcome the physical and economic limits of traditional monolithic AI/HPC processors and accelerators. The study specifically examines architecture and roadmap implications for AI accelerators, GPUs, data-center and cloud infrastructure, networking and edge systems that are adopting these technologies, and evaluates commercialization trends and ecosystem roles across foundries, IDMs, fabless vendors, OSATs, and EDA providers as they build chiplet-centric AI/HPC platforms. It further assesses the key opportunities and constraints shaping these AI/HPC architectures—including interoperability of chiplets and standards, packaging capacity, thermal and power management at AI-class power densities, test and reliability complexity, cost efficiency, supply-chain dependencies, and geopolitical factors that influence where and how advanced AI/HPC silicon can be manufactured and deployed, while highlighting future technology roadmaps and ecosystem-driven innovation trends.
