Onsemi forecasts stronger revenue on AI data-centre power demand

Onsemi forecast third-quarter revenue above Wall Street expectations, attributing momentum partly to power-management chips used in AI data centres. The company is also pursuing its previously announced US$7 billion all-stock Synaptics acquisition. A forecast is management guidance, not realised revenue.

Impact: the AI infrastructure bottleneck extends beyond accelerators to power conversion, networking and thermal design. Capacity planning should model rack-level power efficiency and supply-chain concentration.
