Recent announcements highlight Samsung’s development of an AI-powered modem chip designed to enable direct satellite-to-device (D2D) connectivity with SpaceX’s Starlink constellation. This chip uses AI to optimize signal processing, beamforming, and interference management, allowing unmodified smartphones and devices to connect to low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites at gigabit speeds—even indoors or through obstacles like buildings and …
Tesla plans to split Dojo 3 chip production, with Samsung handling front-end manufacturing and Intel taking on specialized packaging. This is a move away from TSMC’s full-process control. Samsung’s foundry to produce D3 chips will use the 2nm process for Tesla’s AI6 and Dojo 3. Intel will use leverage EMIB 2.5D packaging for Dojo’s large-scale …
Samsung have started earlier than TSMC going to 2 nanometer GAA process chips. They will start mass production late in 2025. Elon Musk and Tesla was using semiconductor processes one generation or so behind Nvidia for the Tesla Dojo chip. Samsung has challenges with lower yields (around 40%, compared to TSMC’s reported 60%). They have …
TSMC 3nm process node is the best FinFET technology and TSMC dominates semiconductor chip fabrication with higher transistor density, better yields on a mature technology and broad adoption by clients like Apple and NVIDIA. TSMC’s 2nm Process Scale-Up TSMC’s 2nm (N2) process will introduce nanosheet transistors (a form of Gate-All-Around or GAA architecture). It is …
Tesla will make an AI6 chip that will be the chip for vehicles, robots, and data centers and it will unify and build on the Dojo’s chip design. Samsung’s Texas fab will produce the chips as part of a $16.5 billion deal. This could be at least 16 million chips and maybe over 32 million. …
In 2024, Samsung will launch low latency wide (LLW) DRAMs that are designed to improve the power efficiency of artificial intelligence applications by 70% more than that of regular DRAMs. LLW DRAMs will become its flagship, next-generation chips and be embedded into AI devices such as extended reality headsets. Samsung aims to beef up artificial …
For highly reliable NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) communication with low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, Samsung has developed and simulated 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Networks) standard-based satellite technology using its Exynos Modem 5300 reference platform to accurately predict satellite locations and minimize frequency offsets caused by the Doppler shift. Based on this technology, Samsung’s future Exynos modems will …
Samsung has a new roadmap that targets mass production of 2nm process technology by 2025 and 1.4nm by 2027. TSMC is planning to start production of 2-nm chips in 2025. Intel Foundry Services (IFS) plans to offer its own GAA-based process at its 18-A node that’s equivalent to 2 nm by 2024. Samsung plans to …
Samsung Releasing Smartphone Using Graphene Battery for 15-30 Minute Charging in 2020
Samsung has created the Advanced Communications Research Center to start research into 6G wireless. 6G will use machine learning for intelligent capacity and routing management and could yield speeds up to 1TB. 6G aims to integrate satellites for global coverage to provide far high data rates and faster Internet speeds than 5G. Brian WangBrian Wang …
Samsung’s 3nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process, 3GAE, development is on track. The Process Design Kit (PDK) version 0.1 for 3GAE was released in April to help customers get an early start on the design work and enable improved design competitiveness along with reduced turnaround time (TAT).
