    onsemi to Acquire Ferric for $600 Million as AI Chip Power Delivery Moves Inside the Package

    onsemi announced it will acquire integrated voltage regulator (IVR) vendor Ferric for $600 million in cash, plus up to $175 million in contingent consideration tied to future revenue targets, for a total transaction value of up to $775 million. On the same day, onsemi raised its 2030 AI data center revenue target by $500 million to more than $3 billion. Ferric's IVR integrates the power controller, power switches, inductors and capacitors into a single package, reducing board footprint by 50% to 70%; its latest product, the Fe1767 Newport, delivers 145 amps within 49.8 square millimeters at up to 90.5% efficiency, reducing power delivery network impedance and transient voltage droop by up to 57%.

    Malaysian customs seize AI chip servers worth about US$12.11 million at Kuala Lumpur airport

    On October 15, Malaysian customs seized 30 servers equipped with high-performance AI chips in the free trade zone at Kuala Lumpur airport, with a cargo value of about US$12.11 million; the goods had been declared as ordinary electronic components. Authorities believe the shipment originated in one Asian country and was intended for re-export to another Asian country, and suspect that an organized smuggling network is behind it, using Malaysia as a transit point to circumvent export restrictions. No one has been arrested so far, and the companies involved have been summoned to assist with the investigation. This is the fifth case authorities have identified as linked to the network; in June, 72 AI servers were seized in the same free trade zone, and according to The Information, the total value of the related seizures is about US$24 million. In 2025, Malaysia adopted the Strategic Trade Controller directive, imposing additional controls on the export, transit and transshipment of high-performance AI chips, computer systems and electronic components.

    Ares CEO says avoided AI chip financing due to business complexity

    Ares Management CEO Michael Arougheti said the company is avoiding financing the high-performance processors that run high-end AI models, and is instead investing in the data centers that house those chips. He said due diligence on data center projects is simpler, the relative returns are attractive, and it is impossible to conduct due diligence to assess the value decay and depreciation curves of GPU technology. The company estimates AI capital expenditure demand at about $5 trillion, of which about $2 trillion is for physical AI computer rooms and supporting infrastructure, and $3 trillion is for purchasing GPU chips.
