Samsung to produce 5nm DeepX AI semiconductor

DeepX tapped a 5nm deal with Samsung to produce its first AI semiconductor. The company has reportedly signed a contract with GaonChips to mass-produce its DX-M1 chip. This on-device AI semiconductor is to be produced using a 5nm process.

ETNews reports that DeepX has started full-scale operations targeting the “on-device AI” market. The company is about to commence mass production of its first artificial intelligence semiconductor product.

DeepX has been producing prototypes through GaonChips and Samsung Foundry Multi-Project Wafer (MPW). It has provided AI semiconductors and software development tool DXNN to over 120 companies in the US, China, Europe and Japan.

For your info, GaonChips is a Samsung Foundry cooperative design house (DSP). DeepX has signed a mass production contract with GaonChips to fabricate the “DX-M1” on-device AI semiconductor using a 5nm process.

Back in June, the client received commercial samples of the DX-M1 from Samsung Foundry. Later, it conducted tests to verify mass production, after verifying improvements in computational performance and power efficiency.

About 20 companies are currently developing products using DeepX AI chips, hence full-scale preparations for mass production are needed. DeepX expects that mass production cooperation will continue with about 10 global customers in the second half.
