The key building blocks of AI hardware are leading-edge foundry-logic (transistors and on-chip wiring), high-speed memory (DRAM and HBM) and advanced packaging (chip-to-chip wiring). In an AI data center about 60% of capital cost is silicon, more than 85% of silicon content is in these areas, and they are expected to drive about 75% of WFE growth through 2030.
Dark teal slide with a server rack image at left, three stacked capability bands in the middle and a bullet panel at right.
Equation-style slide: AI opportunities (leading-edge foundry-logic, DRAM and advanced packaging, where Applied is #1 in process equipment) multiplied by Applied's advantages (materials, integration and yield innovation, accelerated by the EPIC co-innovation platform) equals value creation. For CY'25 to CY'30 it lists >2 ppts wafer fab equipment share, +20% service revenue per tool, +5 ppts gross margin and +10 ppts operating margin.
Three rounded column headers joined by 'x' and '=' symbols, each with text beneath; 'Investor Breakfast 2026' badge at upper left.
A tree diagram splits the race for AI computing leadership into a Technology Race (enabling tokens per second per watt; device/chip and system/packaging innovation) and a Capacity Race (data center and fab capacity; fab yield and output; new fab ramp velocity). Below, Applied's most enabling portfolio is shown as Materials Innovation + Integration Innovation + Yield Innovation, accelerated by EPIC high-velocity co-innovation.
