Rapidus gets its first customer
What happened
Rapidus secured Canon as its first customer, ordering 2nm test chips designed by Synopsys for fabrication at its Chitose site. The government-backed Japanese foundry aims for volume production next year and is developing CPUs with Tenstorrent, while Fujitsu and Preferred Networks are potential future clients. Neutral: This is a long-term R&D and partnership milestone with no immediate impact on component supply, pricing, or trader inventory decisions.
