DeepX, a Korean chip design startup valued at more than 1 trillion won ($677 million), will start production of its next AI chip next year using Samsung Foundry’s 2-nanometer process.
The chip is known as DX-M2, DeepX’s second low-power AI processor for on-device AI and large language model inference. It targets delivery of up to 80 trillion operations per second while consuming less than 5 watts of power.
“I believe the physical AI market will become even larger than the data center market,” Kim said on Tuesday at a press conference at the company’s Pangyo headquarters in Gyeonggi, where DeepX unveiled its product road map. “We see ourselves not simply as an AI chip design company, but as a physical AI infrastructure company powering everything from small toy robots to cars, autonomous vehicles and high-performance humanoids.”
