The Japanese government has spent $67 billion to revitalize the semiconductor industry and has cooperated with U.S. startup Tenstorrent Inc. to regain its core position in the industry. This collaboration is led by Silicon Valley legend Jim Keller. The goal is to develop advanced artificial intelligence chips and challenge the creation of the most advanced 2-nanometer logic chips by 2027. Tenstorrent adopts the open source RISC-V standard and cooperates with Japanese government-backed startup Rapidus Corp. to produce artificial intelligence chips, demonstrating strong cooperation and technical strength.
A Japanese government-backed semiconductor research group has teamed up with U.S. startup Tenstorrent Inc. to design advanced artificial intelligence chips with the help of Silicon Valley legend Jim Keller. The Japanese government invested US$67 billion to regain its core position in the semiconductor industry. Tenstorrent, which is working to adopt the open-source RISC-V standard, is working with government-backed startup Rapidus Corp. to produce artificial intelligence chips. Jim Keller joins Tenstorrent as CEO to work with government research groups to design artificial intelligence chips, challenging the company to build the most advanced 2-nanometer logic chips by 2027.This cooperation marks Japan's determination to make a strong comeback in the semiconductor field, and also demonstrates the increasingly fierce competition among international technology giants in the field of artificial intelligence chip research and development. In the future, the results of this cooperation are worth looking forward to, and it will have a profound impact on the global semiconductor industry pattern.
