According to AJU News, Samsung Electronics has recently clinched a substantial foundry order from Tsavorite, a U.S.-based AI chip startup. The contract, valued at over $100 million, entails the production of AI chips using Samsung’s cutting-edge 4nm process technology. Tsavorite's AI chips are touted as "full-function processing units," poised to become the next generation of AI chips. These chips integrate CPU, GPU, and DRAM into a single package, offering versatile configurations in terms of power consumption, performance, and scalability to cater to diverse market and application needs.
In November of the previous year, Tsavorite disclosed that it had secured pre-orders exceeding $100 million from a clientele that included Fortune Global 500 companies, sovereign cloud service providers, and system integrators. Lately, Samsung Electronics has boosted the yield rate of its 4nm process to the 60%-70% range, thereby strengthening its market competitiveness. Moreover, Samsung is expediting yield enhancements for its 3nm and 2nm processes. The yield rate of its inaugural chipset, the Exynos 2600, which incorporates 2nm GAA technology, has already reached 50%. Looking ahead, Tesla's AI6 chip is also slated to be manufactured utilizing Samsung’s 2nm process.
