Samsung unveils technology road map to lure AI chip makers to its mfg biz

Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled a number of forthcoming advancements to its technology aimed at luring makers of AI chips to its manufacturing business.

Though Samsung is the world’s No. 1 memory-chip maker, it has been trying to catch up with rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in the foundry market, where companies manufacture customer-designed chips. Samsung laid out its chipmaking road map and outlined its vision for the artificial intelligence era at its annual foundry forum Wednesday at its US chip headquarters in San Jose, California.
