DeepX bets more than $100 million on 2nm AI chip built with Samsung

South Korean edge-AI chipmaker DeepX plans to spend more than $100 million on its second-generation DX-M2 chip, Bloomberg reports. The design has taped out on Samsung Foundry's 2nm process with Samsung LPDDR5x processing-in-memory, according to EE Times, with first silicon expected around March 2027 and volume production starting late 2027. DeepX is targeting on-device inference of models up to 100 billion parameters at under 5 watts for robots, industrial systems and AI PCs.
