South Korean chip maker Samsung has announced that it will work with the British company Arm to manufacture the next generation of high-performance chipsets in an effort to close the gap with chip leader TSMC. Samsung said on Wednesday (21st) that it will work with Arm to optimize the British company's Cortex-X core to accommodate Samsung's own upcoming GAA-based technology.

Targeting Samsung's GAA process optimization, Arm's Cortex-X architecture will enable Samsung's chip manufacturing customers to better access the British company's intellectual property rights and will reduce the time and money required to manufacture advanced processors.

Samsung's new partnership with ARM will further expand to 2nm process chips, which will be used in data centers and infrastructure. Together, the two companies will launch groundbreaking AI microchip solutions designed to power generative AI on future action platforms.

South Korean media reported that Samsung became the first company to launch GAA technology in 2022, ahead of major competitors Intel and TSMC, becoming an important milestone in the industry. Samsung first used the technology on the 3nm process and plans to deploy it on a smaller process, with Intel and TSMC following suit in the near future.

GAA transistors are highly customizable, allowing manufacturers to easily change performance and power consumption. The technology also reduces the variability of transistors compared to existing products on the market.
