Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 20, according to Business Korea, Samsung Electronics' semiconductor contract manufacturing department has launched a chip research project with Tenstorrent and Groq, and the design service team in Samsung's contract manufacturing department is responsible for these research tasks.

In 2021, the semiconductor industry superstar Jim Keller (Jim Keller), known as the "Silicon Fairy", joined Tenstorrent, an unknown artificial intelligence chip start-up, as chief technology officer and president, and became chief executive in January 2023, as well as joined the company's board of directors.

In 2023, Keller and Sam Zeloof (CPU, who once made 1200 transistors themselves in the garage, known as "silicon prodigy") founded Atomic Semi, a start-up looking to make chips to build a small, fast semiconductor wafer factory.

If this task is achieved in mass production, the chips are expected to be produced in the Samsung sub-5-nn EUV production line and packaged in a 2.5D packaging facility.

Industry experts speculate that if Samsung successfully completes the cooperation project with the two companies, it will have a significant impact on the contract manufacturing market.

As the AI market driven by ChatGPT continues to grow, Samsung, which started working together early on, could make a handsome profit if the position of the two start-ups is strengthened.

In addition, both companies have great potential in the global AI industry. Needless to say, Jim Keller (Jim Keller) is a semiconductor legend who has led the design of state-of-the-art semiconductors such as Apple, Tesla, Intel and AMD.

The recent partnership with Meta of Groq, a semiconductor company founded in 2016 by former Google employee Jonathan Ross, has sparked speculation that Groq may pose a threat to Nvidia, according to CTOnews.com.
