SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics Co said on Tuesday (9) it had received an order from Japanese artificial intelligence firm Preferred Networks to manufacture chips for AI applications using the South Korean company’s 2-nanometer foundry process and advanced chip packaging service.
It’s the first order Samsung has revealed for its next-generation 2-nanometer chip contract manufacturing process. Samsung did not give details about the size of the order.
The chips will be manufactured using a high-tech chip architecture known as gate all-around (GAA) and multiple chips will be integrated into one package to increase interconnect speed and reduce size, Samsung said in a statement.
South Korea’s Gaonchips Co designed the chips, Samsung said.
The chips will go into Preferred Networks’ high-performance computing hardware for generative AI technologies such as large language models, Preferred Networks vice president and chief technology officer of computational architecture Junichiro Makino said in the statement.
