Navitas記者會逐字稿

閱讀時間約 128 分鐘

Navitas公佈了2023年財報、Q4財報,及2024年財測指引,看起來不錯,結果卻是股價大跌,完全令人傻眼的走勢,第一次碰到盤前走勢跟開盤後走勢完全背道而馳,顯然是短線客,在財測前上車在公佈後全部下車的太多了,也懷疑財報有貓膩,是不是在記者會漏餡了?所以找出記者會逐字稿,看一下記者問題,和公司回覆,有沒有令人沮喪的事?看完之後,感覺沒有什麼問題,反而強化了持股信心,只是不知道競爭對手IDM廠,英飛凌、恩智浦.....這些公司的產品的競爭狀況,買黑不買紅,Navitas繼續持有,如果跌到4美元以下,是千載難逢的機會。記者會內容,值得一看。

  • While we are not immune to some of the same macro trends seen by others leading to more muted outlook for the first half of the year.儘管我們也不能倖免於其他人所看到的一些相同的宏觀趨勢,導致今年上半年的前景更加黯淡。
  • We expect the strength of our pipeline and some market recovery in the second half of the year will support annual revenue growth of 40% to 50% in 2024 relative to 2023.我們預計下半年我們的產品線實力和市場復甦將支持 2024 年營收較 2023 年成長 40% 至 50%。

  • (Operator Instructions) Quinn Bolton, Needham.(操作員說明)
  • Quinn Bolton,Needham。, congratulations on a strong finish to 2023 on most most metrics.再次恭喜 2023 年大多數指標都取得了強勁的成績。
  • So you'll look pretty good, certainly the top line into next year, but the gross margin coming in a little late, you talked about the mix shift to mobile driving some of that lower margin in the near term, but Ron or Jean, could you give us a sense how do you see margins recovering through 2024?所以你看起來會相當不錯,當然是明年的收入,但毛利率來得有點晚了,你談到了向移動設備的混合轉變在短期內推動了一些較低的利潤,但羅恩或吉恩,您能否告訴我們您認為2024 年利潤率將如何恢復?
  • Can you give us sort of any thoughts on where margin might exit 2024?您能否給我們一些關於 2024 年保證金可能退出的想法?
  • And then I've got a follow-up question.然後我有一個後續問題。
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes, sure.是的,當然。
  • Thanks, Quinn.謝謝,奎因。
  • This is Gene.這是吉恩.
  • As you commented and we explained the margins are a little bit more muted in the first half of the year, just purely due to market mix and the strength of the mobile market and most other markets are a little softer in the first half of the year as we anticipate automotive and industrial strengthening the back half of the year, but also the four major growth drivers that I highlighted on AI data centers ramping in the later part of the year, the Tier one appliance on project ramping later in the year, again, starting at Solar later in the year, even the Internet satellite project.正如您所評論的,我們也解釋過,上半年的利潤率有點低迷,這純粹是由於市場組合和移動市場的強勁,而大多數其他市場在今年上半年略顯疲軟正如我們預計汽車和工業將今年下半年加強,而且我強調的人工智慧資料中心的四個主要成長驅動力將在今年下半年增加,一級設備項目將在今年稍後再次增加,今年稍後開始太陽能項目,甚至是互聯網衛星專案。
  • All of these are expected to be above that average.所有這些預計都將高於平均水平。
  • So all of these will contribute to a modest margin improvement throughout the year.因此,所有這些都將有助於全年利潤率的小幅改善。
  • We expect to end the year still still below mid 40s, but we'll see incremental improvement in Q3 and Q4.我們預計年底仍將低於 40 多歲,但我們將在第三季和第四季看到逐步改善。
  • Quinn Bolton - Analyst
  • Thank you, Gene.謝謝你,吉恩。
  • And my next question and I may have asked you this in the past, but just kind of walking the show floor here in A-Pac, if you see GaN all over the place, I know you guys are targeting a lot of the higher power GaN to 650 volts and above, but it seems like there's increasing opportunity in kind of lower-power mid-power GaN as well.我的下一個問題,我過去可能問過你們這個問題,但只要走在 A-Pac 的展廳,如果你們看到到處都是 GaN,我知道你們的目標是很多更高功率的產品GaN 電壓可達650 伏特及以上,但低功率中功率GaN 的機會似乎也越來越多。
  • And just wondering, as you guys continue to grow, do you have any revised thoughts on potentially expanding the product portfolio to below a 650 volt GaN technology?只是想知道,隨著你們的不斷發展,你們對於將產品組合擴展到 650 伏特 GaN 技術以下的可能性有什麼修改想法嗎?
  • Because again, it seems like there's some pretty good opportunities in that lower mid-power market as well.因為,中低功率市場似乎也存在一些相當好的機會。
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • I think if they are fully fully agree, Quinn, and that is definitely of interest.我認為如果他們完全同意,奎因,那肯定很有趣。
  • It's an area that we're working on actively.這是我們正在積極努力的一個領域。
  • We don't have a specific on launch schedule development schedule to share.我們沒有特定的發布計劃和開發計劃可供分享。
  • We certainly got our hands full with all the opportunities at 650 volts.我們確實充分利用了 650 伏特的所有機會。
  • But I agree with you.但我同意你的觀點。
  • I think there's great opportunity for lower GaN and it's something we plan to pursue over time.我認為較低的 GaN 存在著巨大的機會,這是我們計劃隨著時間的推移而追求的目標。
  • Quinn Bolton - Analyst

  • I guess my question for this year is being second half weighted is no different than a lot of the peers.我想我今年的問題是下半年的加權與許多同業沒有什麼不同。
  • But just how second half weighted do you expect it to be?但你預計下半場的權重是多少呢?
  • Do you expect to grow sequentially in the second quarter?您預計第二季會較上季成長嗎?
  • Is it going to be much more of a stair step up as inventories normalize and a lot of these new design wins come in the second half?隨著庫存正常化並且許多新設計的勝利將在下半年出現,這是否會更加階梯式上升?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes, sure.是的,當然。
  • Thanks, Ross.謝謝,羅斯。
  • Yes, not too dissimilar than prior years.是的,與往年相比並沒有太大差異。
  • It's probably in the range of 40%, 60%.大概在40%、60%之間。
  • That's similar to what we saw last year.這與我們去年看到的情況類似。
  • And so I don't think there's much surprise there.所以我認為這沒什麼令人驚訝的。
  • Ross Seymore - Analyst
  • Okay.好的。
  • I guess as my follow-up, you talked about a ton of design wins ramping at various times and some really meaningful dollar amounts.我想作為我的後續行動,您談到了在不同時期取得的大量設計勝利以及一些真正有意義的金額。
  • How do you think the mix of the company changes by end markets.您認為公司的結構會因終端市場而產生什麼樣的變化?
  • You guys had talked a little bit about how the split was between mobile and appliance, et cetera.你們已經討論過行動裝置和裝置之間的區別,等等。
  • How is that in 2023?2023 年情況如何?
  • And how do you expect that to transition您預計這種情況會如何轉變
  • (technical difficulty)?(技術難度)?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes, yes.是的是的。
  • Definitely, '23 saw a really nice surge in mobile.毫無疑問,23 年行動領域出現了非常好的成長。
  • That's continuing.這還在繼續。
  • As we explained in early this year.正如我們在今年年初所解釋的那樣。
  • That surge took mobile over 40%.這一激增使行動裝置佔比超過 40%。
  • The other markets we're in that 10% to 20% range.其他市場則處於 10% 到 20% 的範圍內。
  • I think we'll see that shift back throughout the year, given the anticipated recovery and in industrial and EV, but also the ramps we've talked about a data center is brand new for us that's really coming off of a zero base appliance strengthening with that strong pipeline and that major new Tier one project, that one of ramps of GaN and SiC both ramping into solar in the second half of the year.我認為,考慮到工業和電動車領域的預期復甦,我們將在今年看到這種轉變,而且我們談到的資料中心的坡道對我們來說是全新的,這確實是從零基礎設備強化中走出來的憑藉強大的管道和主要的新一級項目,GaN 和 SiC 的斜坡之一將在今年下半年進入太陽能領域。
  • So I think we'll see it balance out pretty nicely where the mobile goes below 40% and the other markets creep up from there 10% to 20%.因此,我認為我們會看到行動市佔率低於 40%,而其他市場則從 10% 攀升至 20%,從而實現良好的平衡。

  • And Rob, happy trails and Janet look forward to working with you.羅布、快樂小徑和珍妮特期待與您合作。
  • And on the mobile market, you mentioned that GaN is about 30% market share.在行動市場上,您提到GaN約佔30%的市佔率。
  • Do you see that market share growing in the mobile chargers or is this going to be steady state or maybe what do you see as the growth rate in the mobile market for GaN?您認為行動充電器的市場佔有率是否在成長,或者這會保持穩定狀態,或者您認為 GaN 行動市場的成長率是多少?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes.是的。
  • Thanks, Kevin.謝謝,凱文。
  • Good question.好問題。
  • And that 30% was specific to Xiaomi and also kind of leading the charge, so to speak of.這 30% 是小米特有的,可以說是處於領先地位。
  • But I think most again, mobile is probably still single digit adoption rates.但我再次認為,行動裝置的採用率可能仍然是個位數。
  • So we don't believe there's any limit to switching.所以我們不認為轉換有任何限制。
  • I think ultimately, all of the silicon chargers will move to again over time.我認為最終,隨著時間的推移,所有矽充電器都會再次轉移。
  • Part of that dynamic is not just driven by our technology or by the customer choice but but also the power levels moving up.這種動態的部分原因不僅是由我們的技術或客戶的選擇所驅動的,而且還包括功率等級的提高。
  • So as the whole world goes from slow chargers, which are five, 10, 15, 20 watts, where GaN has and bring much value to fast chargers in the 30, 40 50 watts.因此,隨著全世界逐漸放棄 5、10、15、20 瓦的慢速充電器,GaN 為 30、40、50 瓦的快速充電器帶來了很大的價值。
  • And then ultimately, the ultrafast chargers were really, really strong at 100 watts or higher.最終,超快充電器在 100 瓦或更高功率下非常非常強勁。
  • There's no limit to switching everything over from silicon again.再次從矽上轉換一切是沒有限制的。
  • So it's just a question of time.所以這只是時間問題。
  • And I think the growth rates between now and then we'll continue pretty strongly.我認為從現在到那時我們的成長率將繼續保持強勁。
  • Kevin Cassidy - Analyst
  • And maybe if we look at the other markets that you're penetrating now 20 design wins in data center and the home appliances that I mean, can you draw parallel to the mobile market for where those markets will be going yes, I think it's almost identical.也許如果我們看看您現在正在滲透的其他市場,我的意思是,在資料中心和家用電器方面獲得了20 項設計勝利,您能否將這些市場的發展方向與行動市場進行比較,是的,我認為這幾乎是完全相同的。
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • I think you'll see these first few leader type performance examples, setting the example for the whole industry, once you get your first beachhead customers, beachhead applications within the market tends to be on the high end.我想您會看到這些前幾個領導者類型的性能示例,為整個行業樹立了榜樣,一旦您獲得了第一批搶灘客戶,市場中的搶灘應用往往處於高端。
  • It sets an example for others proves that the value is there that the quality, the reliability, everything is there.它為其他人樹立了榜樣,證明價值就在那裡,品質、可靠性,一切都在那裡。
  • And that we see a pretty effective domino zone occurrence over the subsequent years were one project leads to 2 leads to 4 leads to 16 and things start to grow exponentially.我們看到在接下來的幾年裡,骨牌效應非常有效,一個項目導致 2 個線索,4 個線索,最後 16 個線索,事情開始呈指數級增長。
  • So I think you can look back at what's happened, what we've led in mobile chargers just in the last three years, and we anticipate the same sort of domino effect the same sort of accelerating adoption to occur in each of these new markets with their own sort of S-curve adoption.因此,我認為您可以回顧一下發生的事情,過去三年我們在移動充電器領域取得的領先地位,我們預計這些新市場中將會出現同樣的多米諾骨牌效應,同樣的加速採用他們自己採用的S曲線。

  • So really it's not a decline.所以實際上這並不是下降。
  • It's just slower growth in EV and slower growth in industrial.只是電動車成長放緩,工業成長放緩。
  • Anytime you get an adjustment in growth rates, you get pockets of inventory that build up, forecasts come down temporarily to kind of swallow that change in growth rate deal with that pocket of inventory, we see that a bit in the channel.每當你對成長率進行調整時,你就會得到一些庫存的積累,預測會暫時下降到某種程度,成長率的變化會處理那部分庫存,我們在通路中看到了這一點。
  • And so by all of our indications, we think that in a couple of quarters, and that's added to our more muted expectations for the first half of the year.因此,根據我們所有的跡象,我們認為在幾個季度內就會出現這種情況,這增加了我們對今年上半年的更溫和的預期。

  • A really interesting one for us.對我們來說非常有趣。
  • We've got this our data center design center that designs the entire power supply.我們的資料中心設計中心負責設計整個電源。
  • So we have really deep system expertise and now we've got leading edge and leading edge silicon carbide.因此,我們擁有非常深厚的系統專業知識,現在我們擁有領先的碳化矽技術。
  • So we're in a unique position to figure the right answers to exactly that question.因此,我們處於獨特的位置,可以找到該問題的正確答案。
  • And it's actually not very non, and it's not very intuitive it's not very easy even for our customers to figure out, but we're doing some really of exciting work going on exactly that.事實上,它並不是很不,也不是很直觀,即使對我們的客戶來說也不是很容易弄清楚,但我們正在做一些非常令人興奮的工作。
  • A combination of silicon carbide and GaN.碳化矽和氮化鎵的組合。
  • There's actually two stage stages in the power converter.電源轉換器實際上有兩級。
  • The first stage are called power factor correction, but we're using silicon carbide often in that stage, followed by DC to DC converter stage with gallium nitride.第一級稱為功率因數校正,但我們在該級中經常使用碳化矽,然後是使用氮化鎵的直流到直流轉換器級。
  • That kind of takes advantage of the strength of each of the technology, silicon carbide being more mature and very proven on its robustness facing the grid gallium nitride, achieving very high frequency and high efficiency in that DC-to-DC converter.這種方式利用了每種技術的優勢,碳化矽更加成熟,並且在面對氮化鎵柵極時的魯棒性得到了充分證明,在直流-直流轉換器中實現了非常高的頻率和高效率。
  • So there's a lot more to that story than touching here, but you brought up a really important point you're going to see a lot of interesting.這個故事的內容遠不止於此,但你提出了一個非常重要的觀點,你會看到很多有趣的內容。
  • We call them kind of hybrid designs where we leverage both GaN and some private, not only for this data center space, but other others in that one to 20 kilowatt area like onboard chargers.我們稱之為混合設計,其中我們同時利用 GaN 和一些專用裝置,不僅用於該資料中心空間,還用於 1 至 20 千瓦區域的其他其他區域,例如車載充電器。
  • So you'll see a lot more developments in that area.所以你會看到該領域有更多的發展。
  • Jack Egan - Analyst
  • Right.正確的。
  • Okay.好的。
  • That's helpful.這很有幫助。
  • And then similarly on the automotive side, so you're expecting GaN to ramp for that later this year.在汽車方面也是如此,因此您預計 GaN 將在今年稍後實現這一目標。
  • And we're seeing more OEMs move to or at least announced on 800 volt system.我們看到越來越多的 OEM 轉向或至少宣布採用 800 伏特系統。
  • And so I'm curious how that changes the opportunity or I guess the mix of silicon carbide and GaN and some of those automotive applications just because silicon carbide sometimes can be higher better at higher voltages.所以我很好奇這會如何改變機會,或者我猜碳化矽和 GaN 的混合以及其中一些汽車應用只是因為碳化矽有時在更高的電壓下可以更高更好。
  • But you still have the benefits of that high frequency for GAN where it can function.但您仍然可以享受 GAN 發揮作用的高頻率的好處。
  • So with more 800 volt systems, would it change your outlook at all?那麼,如果使用更多 800 伏特系統,它會徹底改變您的看法嗎?
  • Or is it really kind of a wash for you since you do both silicon carbide and GaN?或者說,既然您同時生產碳化矽和氮化鎵,這對您來說真的是一種洗禮嗎?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Well, certainly that's the beauty of it, whatever way the market goes.嗯,當然這就是它的美妙之處,無論市場走向如何。
  • And I think for interval data in the Gulf are going to coexist for a long, long time at a high level, just like you described, the 800 volt is a better fit for the 1,200 volt silicon carbide for Interval could be either frankly.我認為海灣地區的間隔數據將在很長一段時間內以高水平共存,就像您所描述的那樣,坦率地說,800 伏特更適合 1,200 伏特碳化矽。
  • But we see a lot of that moving to GaN or a combination again of GaN and silicon carbide.但我們看到很多技術正在轉向 GaN 或 GaN 和碳化矽的組合。
  • I would point out, though, even for an eight interval battery when you plug it into it, single-phase AC input, which runs 110 to 220 volt, you could actually use gallium nitride on that first phase, followed by the silicon carbide, which then sees the 800 volt battery to charge that battery.不過,我要指出的是,即使對於八節電池,當您將其插入單相交流輸入(運行電壓為110 至220 伏特)時,您實際上也可以在第一相上使用氮化鎵,然後使用碳化矽,然後它會看到 800 伏特電池來為該電池充電。
  • So here again, I think the combination of having both technologies puts us in a really unique position to figure out the right approach and whichever approach is going to win, whether it's affordable 300 volts and we're going to we're going to benefit from it.因此,我再次認為,兩種技術的結合使我們處於一個非常獨特的位置,可以找出正確的方法,無論哪種方法都會獲勝,無論是負擔得起的 300 伏特電壓,我們都會受益從中。

  • Wondering if you actually answered the last question about talking about mobile being about 40% and going below as the other ones ramp up here.想知道您是否真的回答了最後一個問題,即行動裝置佔比約為 40%,並且隨著其他行動裝置佔比的增加而下降。
  • Maybe asking a different way here anyway that you could you rank order kind of the dollar contributors to growth here by end market.無論如何,也許在這裡問一個不同的方式,你可以按終端市場對美元對成長的貢獻者進行排序。
  • I would assume mobile is probably the biggest given it's starting at 40%.我認為行動裝置可能是最大的,因為它的起始比例為 40%。
  • But if we get a sense of how much dollar growth we're adding in some other ones that might be a not obvious from how you've described the opportunity you're seeing energy?但是,如果我們了解我們在其他一些方面增加了多少美元成長,那麼從您所描述的能源機會來看,這可能並不明顯?

  • So that's still going to be on the smaller side compared to everything else on appliance has been a great strength area for us, especially when mobile was a bit down, and that's going to pick up strongly in the second half of the year.因此,與家電領域的其他領域相比,這仍然是較小的方面,這對我們來說是一個很大的優勢領域,特別是當行動業務有點下滑的時候,而這將在今年下半年強勁回升。

  • So it's pretty hard to predict, but it feels pretty balanced, honestly, to me, if you look at what's going to add, you know, $20 million or $30 million to the back half of the year is going to be pretty broad-based across across each of those areas I just mentioned.所以很難預測,但老實說,對我來說,感覺相當平衡,如果你看看將要增加的內容,你知道,今年下半年的 2000 萬或 3000 萬美元將是相當廣泛的跨越我剛才提到的每一個領域。
  • Richard Shannon - Analyst
  • Okay.好的。
  • Thanks for that clarification.感謝您的澄清。
  • Jean, maybe following up here, thinking about your your new products that are ramping in here and you discussed some of them at your analyst event a couple of months ago.Jean,也許會繼續關注這裡,考慮一下您在這裡推出的新產品,您在幾個月前的分析師活動中討論了其中一些產品。
  • And I think you even less I think even on the last conference call, you're talking about the new half bridge offering here, maybe doing $10 million run rate exiting this year.我認為你更不用說,即使在上次電話會議上,你也在談論新的半橋產品,今年可能會以 1000 萬美元的運行率退出。
  • Wondering if that's still kind of in the range of what you're thinking.想知道這是否仍在您的想法範圍內。
  • And then as you think about your other products like the bidirectional one and again, controlling again, safe to what degree are those going to be contributing to your revenues by, but by the end of the year?然後,當您一次又一次地考慮其他產品(例如雙向產品)時,再次控制,到年底,這些產品將在多大程度上為您的收入做出安全貢獻?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes.是的。
  • Great questions, Richard, and thanks for noting all those exciting new products announcements on the on against an average.理查德,這是一個很好的問題,感謝您注意到所有這些令人興奮的新產品發布。
  • We're especially excited about the motor versions we've created, which are then tuned Worley for appliance motor in general, but appliance in particular.我們對我們創建的電機版本感到特別興奮,這些電機版本隨後經過 Worley 調整,適用於一般家電電機,特別是家電電機。
  • And that major Tier 1 that's driving $10 million a year starting late this year is actually adopting that motor version of our GaN since average.從今年稍後開始,每年帶來 1000 萬美元收入的主要一級供應商實際上自平均以來就採用了我們的 GaN 馬達版本。
  • And not only that they're pushing it to a frequency efficiency and density that nobody's ever seen before.不僅如此,他們還將其頻率效率和密度推向了前所未有的水平。
  • So we're super excited.所以我們非常興奮。
  • Once those products come out, they tend to set an example for the whole industry.這些產品一旦問世,往往為整個產業樹立榜樣。
  • There's a lot of reverse engineering that we expect will happen and it will it will likely lead to a nice domino effect of even more.我們預計將會發生許多逆向工程,這可能會導致更多的骨牌效應。
  • And we've already got a pretty strong appliance pipeline going against safe.我們已經擁有了相當強大的設備管道來對抗安全。
  • I mentioned sort of throughout because, again, safe is really our high-power you get above 1,000 watts can safe is our answer the most protected, most reliable, most safe, but even a 20-year warranty to back it up, and that's going into solar later this year going into the data centers that's going into EV.我在整個過程中都提到過,因為,再次強調,安全性實際上是我們的高功率,您獲得的功率超過1,000 瓦可以安全是我們的答案,最受保護、最可靠、最安全,甚至還有20 年保固來支持它,這就是今年稍後將進入太陽能領域,進入數據中心,然後進入電動車領域。
  • So almost across the board in those areas and the others.所以在這些領域和其他領域幾乎都是全面性的。
  • You mentioned Janssen control is a big part of our mobile charger space.您提到詹森控制是我們行動充電器領域的重要組成部分。
  • I didn't specifically highlight it, but that's a really nice growing family that's going first into a lot of aftermarket chargers today, and we expect that going into a lot more inbox in Tier one global players in the future.我沒有特別強調這一點,但這是一個非常好的成長中的家庭,今天首先進入許多售後市場充電器,我們預計未來會進入更多的一級全球參與者的收件匣。

  • And just generally if you could talk a little more about their relationships, maybe give some details, what were they making prior?一般來說,如果你能多談談他們的關係,也許提供一些細節,他們之前做了什麼?
  • Or were they using GaN in the past or is this going to be their first scan products?或者他們過去使用過 GaN 還是這將是他們的首款掃描產品?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes, I know it's not a name.是的,我知道這不是一個名字。
  • People would know, but they're actually a major onboard chargers supplier to top players like Honda, BYD, Honda and many others.人們會知道,但他們實際上是本田、比亞迪、本田等頂級廠商的主要車載充電器供應商。
  • So for us, it's a super exciting way to kind of get access and into those cars in the future.所以對我們來說,這是一種超級令人興奮的方式,可以讓我們在未來獲得並使用這些汽車。
  • The first projects here will actually be silicon carbide for onboard chargers.這裡的第一個項目實際上是用於車載充電器的碳化矽。
  • And we'd I do believe it's going to be their first implementation of silicon carbide and certainly with us and those are already underway expected to launch early next year.我確實相信這將是他們首次實施碳化矽,當然也是我們,這些已經在進行中,預計將於明年初推出。

  • They know at CES and at recent conferences, you had talked a lot about the specific opportunities in data center around AI servers.他們知道在 CES 和最近的會議上,您談論了許多有關人工智慧伺服器的資料中心的具體機會。
  • And just given the very high power on those servers that there should be opportunity for organic.考慮到這些伺服器的能力非常高,應該有有機的機會。
  • And can you just talk about that specifically with a eye when you could start to see that be a much more material revenue contributor?當你開始看到這是一個更物質的收入貢獻者時,你能具體地談論這一點嗎?
  • Gene Sheridan - Co-Founder & CEO
  • Yes.是的。
  • Thanks, Joe. It's a big one.謝謝,喬。這是一個很大的。
  • And I think we're still a bit tip of the iceberg here.我認為我們只是冰山一角。
  • We've got 20 projects in development.我們有 20 個項目正在開發中。
  • They're all going to production throughout this year.它們都將在今年投入生產。
  • So my estimated $3 million to $5 million revenue impact for the second half of the year, we've had meetings with a lot of the AI. guys and the numbers, the power requirements, the current requirements keep going up and up over the next one to three years.因此,我估計下半年的收入影響將達到 300 萬至 500 萬美元,我們已經與許多人工智慧人士舉行了會議。夥計們,數字、功率需求、電流需求在未來一到三年內不斷增加。
  • I mentioned on my remarks, 1,000 to 2000 amps per processor.我在發言中提到,每個處理器 1,000 到 2000 安培。
  • So I think this ripple effect on how the power has to get delivered is still really being worked out by the industry and the numbers keep going up on our in our system design centers, designing things that we never thought was possible a year ago, 4.5 kilowatts is unprecedented in a specific form factor that that's going to power all those processors and other pushing us to go to 5.5, 6.5 kilowatts, even even higher.因此,我認為業界仍在研究如何提供電力的連鎖反應,並且我們的系統設計中心的數字不斷增加,設計出一年前我們從未認為可能的東西,4.5千瓦在特定外形尺寸上是前所未有的,它將為所有這些處理器和其他處理器提供動力,推動我們達到5.5、6.5 千瓦,甚至更高。
  • So and I think this is all about the data center today.所以我認為這就是當今資料中心的全部內容。
  • But ultimately, these AI chips end up in driver of self-driving cars.但最終,這些人工智慧晶片最終會成為自動駕駛汽車的駕駛者。
  • These AI chips end up in the client and on the edge computing.這些人工智慧晶片最終出現在客戶端和邊緣運算中。
  • So I think it's early days.所以我認為現在還為時過早。
  • And it's exciting because the power requirements are really unheard of.這是令人興奮的,因為功率需求確實是聞所未聞的。
  • And that's exactly the kind of challenge we want to tackle with our System Design Center and with our gallium nitride and silicon carbide.這正是我們希望透過系統設計中心以及氮化鎵和碳化矽來應對的挑戰。
