Samsung joins hands with NAVER to develop highly optimized chips for Hyperscale AI processing

Samsung is one of the biggest semiconductor firms in the world. It has now announced its collaboration with NAVER. The collaboration will work out on building semiconductor chips optimized for hyperscale AI models. This is quite an opportunity-grabbing move by Samsung. Since NAVER is one of the most prominent global internet firms having top-notch AI experience.

The partnership is expected to power the advanced products of Samsung like computational storage [SmartSSD], PIM [Processor In Memory], CXL [Comput Express Link], and PNM [Processing Near Memory]. Furthermore, combining the hardware as well as software experience will significantly enhance performance during huge AI workloads.

The companies argue that current trends in AI have led to faster growth in data volumes. Where the present computational technologies hold limitations in performance as well as efficiency. Thus, unable to handle the massive AI workloads.  Given this perspective, Samsung and NAVER have joined hands to work in collaboration for the development of AI-optimized semiconductor chips and additional solutions.

Considering this partnership Samsung will deliver the hardware as well as manufacturing expertise. While on the other hand NAVER will utilize its expertise for the verification and development of AI-based algorithms. Also, NAVER will get better at HyperCLOVA. HyperCLOVA is a hyperscale model expanding over 200 billion parameters. It will likely become more efficient by utilizing compression algorithms.
