Samsung's NPU program
Samsung Electronics said on Tuesday that it is a major player in the global semiconductor business. It hopes to enhance the company's design and manufacturing capabilities through mergers and acquisitions. They revealed in April that their goal is to become the world's top semiconductor company by 2030 - to provide customers with high-quality logic chips. To this end, the group plans to invest 60 trillion won ($50.5 billion) in facilities over the next decade, while also investing 73 trillion won ($61.5 billion) in research and development (R&D).
If it succeeds in winning this top spot, the Korean electronics giant will add a third “number one” title to its portfolio, as it is now the world's largest smartphone manufacturer and the world's largest memory chip maker.
However, memory chips are not as high value-added products as logic chips, and as commodities, they are easily affected by the cyclical industry decline. This is why Samsung made this new decision.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Kang In-yup, head of Samsung's LSI (Large Scale Integration) business, elaborated on how Samsung achieved its goals.
Kang also said that Samsung is open to mergers and acquisitions. "Because of the diverse product portfolio in the logic chip field, it is difficult to become our own top product. So we are willing to accept large and small mergers and acquisitions to get the technology or talent we don't have," Kang added.
There have been rumors that Samsung may acquire a system-on-chip company like NXP from the Netherlands. But Kang refused to comment on any of the companies that were made. He also detailed the main working direction of Samsung in the future. "Our goal is to be among the best in the fabless business," Kang said.
Samsung's NPU program
The NPU technology development plan is part of Samsung's 2030 initiative, and now they officially announced their plans.
The so-called NPU is the core part of the SoC that processes the internal data of the integrated circuit. It is widely compared to the brain of the human body. In order to improve AI functionality on the device, NPUs are required because they can perform data processing in low power and off-network environments. For the NPU alone, Samsung plans to create more than 2,000 related jobs worldwide by 2030, increasing its current NPU staff by 10 times.
Samsung's Montreal AI Lab in Canada and Samsung's Advanced Technology Institute in South Korea will jointly develop NPU technology, which will further evolve into a neuromorphic processor technology that will support level 4 autopilot solutions, of course AI helper programs and hybrids. Reality technology is also essential.
Commercialization will be led by the system LSI business, whose goal is not only to apply NPU-containing processors to high-end and mid-range smartphones, but automotive applications are also an important direction for them.
"For the upcoming era of artificial intelligence, Samsung is committed to achieving industry-leading progress through our NPU technology," Kang said. “When we leverage differentiated technology, build close partnerships with global institutions and actively invest in top talent, we are excited to take the future of artificial intelligence processing to a new level.”
Samsung started looking for experts outside the NPU in 2012 and started research and development in 2014.
According to the company, the Samsung NPU will be extended to in-vehicle infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems such as automotive processors, as well as next-generation data centers optimized for big data processing.
