Sapeon designs artificial intelligence semiconductors for data centers, for example those run by cloud computing firms.
expect ChatGPT to be a multi-billion dollar boon for chipmakers looking to fuel these AI models.Sapeon was created in 2016 inside SK Telecom, one of South Korea's biggest telecommunications firms. SK Telecom then spun out the firm last year and raised outside investment.South Korean semiconductor firms including Samsung and SK Hynix have typically been strong in memory chips that go into devices like PCs.
Ryu said that Sapeon is targeting the U.S. market which would pit it against Nvidia. When asked if Sapeon can challenge Nvidia, Ryu answered "yes." Currently, Sapeon has one chip on the market called the X220. It is built on so-called 28-nanometer technology. The nanometer figure refers to the size of each individual transistor on a chip. The smaller the transistor, the more of them can be packed onto a single semiconductor. Typically, a reduction in nanometer size can yield more powerful and efficient chips.
Ryu said the company will launch a 7-nanometer AI chip this year and it will be manufactured by TSMC, the world's biggest contract chipmaker. That would bring it closer to the current technology on the market.
