According to reports, Tenstorrent has built powerful RISC-V CPUs and AI acceleration chips, aiming to break through the computing boundaries in multiple industries such as data centers, automobiles, and robotics. These chiplets are designed to deliver scalable power from milliwatts to megawatts for a wide range of applications from edge devices to data centers.
Tenstorrent praises the Samsung team as “known for its expertise in silicon manufacturing,” and the chiplets will be manufactured using Samsung’s state-of-the-art SF4X process, which boasts an impressive 4nm architecture.
Marco Chisari, head of Samsung’s U.S. foundry business, said: “Samsung is expanding in the United States and we are committed to providing customers with the best semiconductor technology.” He also added: “Samsung’s advanced manufacturing process will accelerate Tenstorrent’s development in RISC-V and AI innovations in data centers and automotive solutions. We look forward to becoming Tenstorrente’s foundry partner.”
According to previous reports, Tenstorrent completed a new round of financing of US$100 million in August this year, with participation from Hyundai Motor Group and Samsung Catalyst Fund, a venture capital company under Samsung. This is Tenstorrent’s seventh round of financing. The key difference is that previous financings were done with venture capitalists, while this time it is working directly with technology companies.
