Canadian startup Tenstorrent has entered into a partnership with Samsung’s chip manufacturing division, marking a significant development in the AI chip industry. The collaboration aims to bring the next generation of AI chiplets to market, revolutionizing chip production for data centers. The partnership leverages Samsung’s advanced manufacturing processes, including the SF4X process and 4nm architecture, to create innovative chiplets. These chiplets will be designed to work in tandem with other chiplets, offering high-performance computing solutions for customers worldwide.
Tenstorrent recently closed a $100 million funding round, led by Samsung and Hyundai, which will be used to accelerate product development, enhance AI chiplets, and create a roadmap for machine learning software. This partnership reflects the growing demand for powerful AI chips as the AI tech sector continues to expand.
While Nvidia has maintained its leadership in chip development, it has faced regulatory scrutiny in France, where authorities conducted an antitrust investigation into its activities. Additionally, the United States has imposed export restrictions on Nvidia’s technology to China. Despite these challenges, the AI chip industry remains dynamic, with continued efforts to advance technology and strengthen global partnerships.
