"One of the key areas where fintech and semiconductors intersect is data processing. Modern financial services rely heavily on data analysis to inform decision-making, detect fraud, manage risk, and tailor services to individual customers," said Hsu. He asserted that none of this would be possible without the immense data processing capabilities that semiconductors provide. Thanks to low-latency data processing chips, trends such as electronic payments, high-frequency trading, and even algorithmic trading have been on the rise in recent years.
Hsu also highlighted that cybersecurity is another area where the interests of fintech and the semiconductor industry converge. Given the sensitive nature of financial data, fintech companies are prime targets for cyber-attacks. Consequently, they're investing increasingly in secure hardware, often in the form of secure elements within semiconductors, to provide robust security measures against potential threats. Hsu further noted that hardware equipped with advanced semiconductor technology and encryption developments would provide more reliable data security and privacy solutions, such as P2P payment driven by Trusted Platform Module and IoT security technologies.
Hsu predicts that the future of fintech is intertwined with the future of the semiconductor industry. As fintech continues to disrupt traditional financial services, the demand for faster, more efficient, and more secure chips will only grow. As the semiconductor industry rises to meet this challenge, we can expect to see even more impressive feats of financial technology. "The relationship between fintech and the semiconductor industry is much more than a simple customer-supplier dynamic. It's a symbiotic relationship that is driving innovation, pushing boundaries, and shaping the future of finance," Hsu emphasized.
In summary, Hsu believes that semiconductor innovation will bring more efficient, secure, and intelligent solutions to fintech, while fintech's demand will drive continuous innovation in processing power, security, AI, and blockchain. Collaboration between these fields will contribute to the financial industry's digital transformation and sustainable development. "As the leading company in high-performance computing, AMD will continue to push the envelope. Our technologies will advance the future of the data center, embedded, gaming, and PC markets. We will also play a leading role in fintech and ESG, bringing innovation to Taiwan's semiconductor industry," concluded Hsu.
