Baidu Taps Samsung to Develop New AI Chips
Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) recently partnered with Samsung Electronics (OTC: SSNLF) to produce its new Kunlun AI accelerator chips, marking the first collaboration between the Chinese and South Korean tech giants.
Samsung will manufacture the chips with its 14nm process and I-Cube (interposed-cube) package solution, which merges a SoC (system on chip) with HBM (high-bandwidth memory) to create a smaller chipset. It will be powered by Baidu's own XPU neural processor architecture for cloud, edge, and AI tasks.
Baidu and Samsung claim that the new chip will support demanding AI workloads such as search rankings, speech recognition, image processing, deep learning, and autonomous driving. Let's see how this new alliance will benefit both companies.
