Canadian startup Tenstorrent and BOS Semiconductors, a South Korean chip startup backed by Hyundai Motor Group, unveiled on Thursday artificial intelligence (AI) chips used for in-vehicle infotainment and autonomous driving. <\/p>\n
As autos increasingly become ‘computers on wheels’, demand has grown for AI chips to handle high performance workloads necessary for complex features. <\/p>\n
The chips are the industry’s first “automotive chiplet AI accelerator”, Park Jae-hong, founder of BOS Semiconductors, told Reuters. <\/p>\n
Chiplets – small chips combined into a large system like LEGO blocks – allow automakers to customise the system to meet their needs and reduce costs by updating specific functionalities, he said. <\/p>\n
Park said BOS Semiconductors is in talks with unidentified German automakers to supply the products, called “Eagle-N”, which will debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in January and go into production in late 2026. <\/p>\n
BOS will carve out the niche market as it challenges chip giants such as Qualcomm in automotive AI chips, he said. <\/p>\n
Park previously worked for Samsung Electronics, where he developed chips for Apple and Tesla. <\/p>\n
It will be produced using one of Samsung’s advanced manufacturing processes, known as 5nm. <\/p>\n
Tenstorrent is headed by Jim Keller, a former Apple chip designer who also oversaw Tesla’s efforts to design a chip for autonomous driving. <\/p>\n
Tenstorrent has attracted investors such as Hyundai Motor Group, Samsung and Jeff Bezos’ family office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
