Samsung Signs $16.5 Billion Chip-Supply Contract with Tesla (WSJ. 20250728)
Samsung electronics will manufacture artificial intelligence chips for Tesla in Texas under a $16.5 billion multi-year deal. Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the deal in a post on X, saying that Samsung's new facilities will be dedicated to making the electric vehicle company's next-generation AI6 chip, which is intended to be used in humanoid robots, self-driving cars, and AI data centers. The contract is a major win for Samsung, which has struggled to catch up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. TSMC makes chips on a contract basis for customers like Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Apple. Elsewhere, the European Commission said the e-commerce platform Temu hasn't done enough to assess the risks of illegal products being sold online and that the China-linked company might be in breach of the watchdog's new Digital Services Act. After starting to investigate the company in October of last year, the commission said today that there is a high risk consumers can find unsafe products on Temu's website, like baby toys and small electronics. If the company is found in breach of the services law, Temu could face a fine of up to 6% of its annual turnover. And finally, in a new note, Jeffries analysts say that Nvidia could roll out a downgraded AI chip for China in the fourth quarter that complies with U.S. export rules. The new AI chip could be based on the company's existing Blackwell design, but with reduced memory specs to comply with a likely new criterion for AI chip exports.
삼성전자가 테슬라와 165억 달러 규모의 AI 반도체 공급 계약을 맺었음. 머스크는 삼성의 신규 공장에서 차세대 반도체 AI16을 생산할 것이며, 이 반도체는 휴머노이드 로봇, 자율주행차, AI 데이터 센터에 사용될 예정임. 이번 계약은 TSMC를 추격하려는 삼성에 큰 성과임. TSMC는 엔비디아, 퀄컴, 애플 등에 계약에 따라 반도체를 생산함. 한편, EC는 이커머스 플랫폼 테무가 온라인에 판매되는 불법 제품에 대한 리스크를 충분히 확인하지 않았다며 신규 Digital Services Act법을 위반할 수 있다고 언급함. 작년 말에 테무에 대한 조사에 착수한 이후 EC는 테무 사이트에서 안전하지 않은 제품을 확인했다며, 매출의 6%를 벌금으로 납부할 수 있다고 함. 한편, 엔비디아가 미국 수출 규제에 맞춰 중국 수출용으로 하향조정된 AI 반도체를 출시할 것이라고 함. 기존 Blackwell 설계에 기반했으나 AI 반도체 수출 규제 조건에 따라 메모리 스펙이 감소되었음
