SEOUL/SAN JOSE, June 12 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF )
said its contract manufacturing business plans to
offer a one-stop shop for clients to get their AI chips made
faster, integrating its global No. 1 memory chip, foundry, and
chip packaging services, to harness the AI boom.
With clients working with a single channel of communication
that directs Samsung's memory chip, foundry and chip packaging
teams at once, the time it takes to produce AI chips - usually
weeks - has been cut by around 20%, Samsung said on Wednesday.
"We are truly living in the age of AI - the emergence of
generative AI is completely changing the technology landscape,"
said Siyoung Choi, President and General Manager, Foundry
Business, at a Samsung event in San Jose, California.
Samsung expects global chip industry revenue to grow to
$778 billion by 2028, boosted by AI chips, Choi said.
