From Miner Chip to AI Brain: GUC Joins Google, Microsoft CPU Core Design Partners, GUC Stock Price Surges 10% to Hit All-Time High
BlockBeats News, April 20th, VanEck's Director of Digital Asset Research (matthew_sigel) posted on social media that as Bitcoin miners increasingly expand into AI infrastructure, the world's largest fabless Bitcoin ASIC design partner GUC (successfully transformed into the largest design partner for AI-driven CPUs, with clients including Google, Microsoft, and the upcoming xAI) is at the forefront.
Benefiting from the increase in AI intelligent agent adoption, the market continues to raise expectations for the CPU ecosystem: Morgan Stanley expects Google's CPU shipments to reach 1.5 million units in 2026, double the forecast from three months ago by HSBC Equities (700,000 units), mainly due to the market's accelerated transition from the traditional x86 architecture. Driven by this, GUC surged 10% last night, with its stock price hitting a new all-time high.

Korean media: Delivery times for key semiconductor equipment components have more than doubled
According to reports, there is a severe shortage of core components for semiconductor equipment in South Korea. Delivery cycles have generally doubled, and waiting times for some Japanese-made parts are as long as 40 months, with components unavailable even at a premium price. Japanese suppliers are cautious about expanding production capacity, resulting in serious delays that have impacted downstream businesses. Major construction projects like Samsung’s Pyeongtaek and SK Hynix’s Yongin face the risk of postponement, with AI chip expansion plans running into a “hard wall” in the supply chain.
