According to CoinMeta, South Korean artificial intelligence chip startup DeepX plans to invest over $100 million to develop a new generation of artificial intelligence chips using Samsung Electronics' advanced 2-nanometer manufacturing process. DeepX stated in a statement that the company has completed the design of the DX-M2 chip and has submitted the final design to Samsung Electronics' manufacturing department for production. The company expects to receive the first batch of chip samples by March 2027, followed by customer evaluations, with plans to achieve mass production in 2028. The project is expected to cost over $100 million, including expenses for performance verification and production engineering. DeepX plans to apply the DX-M2 chips to robots, industrial equipment, and personal computers with artificial intelligence capabilities. This investment reflects DeepX's significant bet on the edge-side artificial intelligence computing approach, which involves running AI models directly on the devices rather than relying on the computing power of remote data centers. This method can reduce energy consumption, costs, and latency associated with data transmission between devices and the cloud.
