Tesla Seeks to More Than Double AI6 Chip Production With Samsung
What happened
Tesla is negotiating to more than double its monthly production of its AI6 chip at Samsung Foundry, seeking an additional 24,000 wafers per month on top of the existing 16,000-wafer order. This expansion is driven by Tesla's increased AI infrastructure spending for autonomous driving, humanoid robots, and data centers, effectively replacing its paused Dojo project. 利多: This represents a significant, long-term demand surge for Samsung's advanced 2nm foundry capacity, likely tightening supply for other clients and supporting foundry pricing.
