SemiFive

SEMIFIVE, a global provider of custom AI semiconductor solutions, has commenced mass production of HyperAccel's data center AI inference accelerator, 'Bertha', using Samsung Foundry's 4nm process node. This marks SEMIFIVE's first large-scale production on that node and involves a 'Big Die' chip exceeding 500 mm², with SEMIFIVE delivering a complete turnkey solution from design to volume manufacturing. The company expects production volumes to grow as HyperAccel expands its services, and this program adds to SEMIFIVE's portfolio, which already includes security and HPC chips. SEMIFIVE secured KRW 42.3 billion in new mass-production orders in the first half of this year, nearly double its full-year intake of KRW 21.2 billion last year, with quarterly orders surging 71% from KRW 15.6 billion in Q1 to KRW 26.7 billion in Q2, and overseas orders accounting for 45% of Q2 bookings.
