Tesla's AI5 chip has been taped out at Samsung Foundry, set for mass production using 2nm-class technology. This development follows an earlier tape out at TSMC, and AI5 is expected to be integrated into Tesla's products, enhancing performance significantly over its predecessor.
Tesla's AI5 chip has officially reached the tape-out stage at Samsung Foundry, as confirmed by a principal engineer at Samsung. This chip will be manufactured at the Taylor facility using 2nm process technology, with production scheduled to begin shortly.
James Kim from Samsung Foundry noted the collaboration with Tesla's engineering teams based in Palo Alto and Austin, emphasizing the joint effort in the development of the AI5 chip. The partnership aims to optimize the chip for Tesla's diverse needs, including vehicles and robots.
While Tesla hasn't released specific performance metrics, Elon Musk previously mentioned that AI5 could achieve up to 40 times the compute performance compared to its predecessor under certain workloads. The integration of twelve memory packages suggests a significant external memory bandwidth, potentially reaching between 768 GB/s and 1.536 TB/s.
Tesla's strategy to utilize both Samsung and TSMC for the AI5 chip's production aims to ensure high volume and reliability. This approach is particularly critical as Tesla anticipates that AI5 will be one of the most produced chips in the market, reinforcing their plans for expansion in automotive and robotic applications.
