Samsung Electronics wins $200 billion Broadcom AI chip partnership, boosting foundry push

The tie-up comes as global technology companies increasingly develop their own custom ​AI accelerators, rather than relying solely on ⁠general-purpose graphics processors, ‌driving demand for specialised chip design and manufacturing ​partnerships. The next five years of collaboration will combine Broadcom's expertise in designing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), or chips for specific tasks, with Samsung's manufacturing capabilities.
