Samsung has already received the first order of chips for their future manufacturing process 2 nanometers. This is the Japanese company Preferred Networks, responsible for developing new chips together with the company GaonChips. Chips for accelerating Artificial Intelligence tasks which will ultimately be manufactured at the Korean company’s facilities.
Samsung’s 2-nanometer process is based on the GAAFET (MBCFET) technology and will be used in conjunction with its 2.5D “Interposer-Cube S” packaging technology that combines vertical and horizontal integration on the same chip.
Preferred Networks is a company specialized in Artificial intelligenceboth at the software and hardware level, offering everything from supercomputers to accelerators and AI models.
The company’s first chips are expected to begin production in late 2025, by which time mass manufacturing at Samsung’s 2-nanometer facility should be in full swing.
This is the first customer to sign up for Samsung’s manufacturing services on this scale, but we’re likely to see more in the coming months as the chipmaking race that also involves TSMC and Intel continues.
