Samsung Electronics announced a groundbreaking plan to accelerate AI chip delivery by offering a comprehensive one-stop solution for clients. By integrating its leading memory chip, foundry, and chip packaging services, Samsung aims to significantly reduce the time it takes to produce AI chips, cutting production time by approximately 20%.
During a recent event in San Jose, California, Siyoung Choi, President and General Manager of the Foundry Business at Samsung, emphasized the transformative impact of generative AI on the technology landscape. He highlighted that Samsung anticipates the global chip industry revenue to reach $778 billion by 2028, driven largely by the demand for AI chips.
Marco Chisari, Executive Vice President of Foundry Sales and Marketing, echoed these sentiments, stating that the company aligns with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s projections regarding the surge in AI chip demand. Samsung's integrated approach, combining memory chips, foundry services, and chip design under one roof, positions the company advantageously amidst the rising AI boom.
Samsung is also advancing its chip architecture with the introduction of gate all-around (GAA) transistors. This technology enhances chip performance while reducing power consumption, making it crucial for developing more powerful AI chips as technology scales down to finer nanometer processes. Samsung plans to mass-produce its second-generation 3-nanometer GAA chips later this year and its latest 2-nanometer process chips by 2027, which feature improved power delivery mechanisms.
This integrated and innovative strategy underscores Samsung’s commitment to leading the charge in the rapidly evolving AI chip market.
