Reports Indicate Groq Ramps Up Production at Samsung Foundry

According to South Korean media citing industry sources, Groq has asked the Samsung Electronics foundry (contract chip manufacturing) division to ramp up production. As demand grows for inference AI chips that can maximize performance efficiency per watt, the Samsung Electronics foundry division is expected to accelerate profitability improvements by deepening its collaboration with Groq.

Insiders reveal that Samsung's 4nm process for Groq AI chips incorporates significant enhancements to improve performance. 

It is reported that Groq recently decided to raise the output of AI chips outsourced to Samsung's foundry division to approximately 15,000 wafers, up from around 9,000 wafers last year. The production volume last year was primarily used for sample chips to test their suitability for AI inference. Analysis indicates that the company has now entered the initial phase of commercial mass production starting this year.
