### Samsung Electronics wins cutting-edge AI chip order from Japan’s Preferred Networks

SEOUL (Reuters) – [Samsung](https://startupobserver.com/samsung-agrees-to-acquire-british-startup-oxford-semantic-for-ai/) Electronics said on Tuesday it won an order from Japanese artificial intelligence company Preferred Networks to make chips for AI applications using the South Korean firm’s 2-nanometre foundry process and advanced [chip](https://startupobserver.com/intel-ericsson-to-work-together-on-custom-5g-chip/) packaging service.

It is the first order Samsung has revealed for its cutting-edge 2-nanometre chip contract manufacturing process. Samsung did not elaborate on the size of the order.

The [chips](https://startupobserver.com/bosch-buys-us-semiconductor-foundry-to-expand-ev-chip-output/) will be made using high-tech chip architecture known as gate all-around (GAA) and multiple chips will be integrated in one package to enhance inter-connection speed and reduce size, Samsung said in a statement.

South Korea’s Gaonchips Co designed the chips, [Samsung](https://startupobserver.com/samsung-agrees-to-acquire-british-startup-oxford-semantic-for-ai/) said.

The chips will go toward Preferred Networks’ high-performance computing hardware for generative AI technologies such as large language models, Junichiro Makino, [Preferred](https://startupobserver.com/ubs-upgrades-global-equities-rating-to-neutral/) Networks vice president and chief technology officer of computing architecture, said in the statement.
