Samsung nears Tesla AI chip ramp with early approval at TX factory
"Samsung Electronics has secured temporary certificates of occupancy (TCOs) for a portion of its semiconductor facility in Taylor. This should allow the facility to start operations ahead of full completion later this year. City officials confirmed that approximately 88,000 square feet of Samsung's Fab 1 building has received temporary approval, with additional areas expected to follow. The overall timeline for permitting the remaining sections has not yet been finalized."
"The facility is expected to manufacture Tesla's AI5 chips once mass production begins in the second half of the year. The facility is also expected to produce Tesla's upcoming AI6 chips. Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently stated that the design for AI5 is nearly complete, and the development of AI6 is already underway. Musk has previously outlined an aggressive roadmap targeting nine-month design cycles for successive generations of its AI chips."
Samsung has secured temporary certificates of occupancy for about 88,000 square feet of its Fab 1 semiconductor facility in Taylor, Texas, enabling limited operations ahead of full completion later this year. The facility is slated to manufacture Tesla’s AI5 chips when mass production begins in the second half of the year and is also expected to produce upcoming AI6 chips. Construction remains on schedule. Samsung plans to begin testing EUV lithography equipment next month, a critical step toward producing advanced 2-nanometer semiconductors. Tesla’s CEO stated AI5 design is nearly complete and AI6 development is underway with nine-month design cycle targets.
