The move comes as Tenstorrent seeks to compete in the rapidly evolving AI chip market. The startup is aiming to produce its own AI chips to enhance its AI capabilities and reduce reliance on third-party hardware. Keller's comments suggest that Tenstorrent is actively exploring various manufacturing options to secure the best technology and cost-efficiency for its products.
In the broader semiconductor landscape, TSMC and Samsung are leading the race in advanced node technology. TSMC, in particular, has been a key player in providing manufacturing services for many major tech companies, including Apple and NVIDIA. Samsung, on the other hand, has been making significant strides in its foundry business, aiming to challenge TSMC's dominance.
This development aligns with the broader trend of companies seeking to diversify their manufacturing partners to mitigate risks and ensure access to the latest technology. Intel, for instance, has been actively pursuing foundry customers, including AMD, to revitalize its manufacturing division and reduce reliance on TSMC
