Chip designer Jim Keller says Intel still has 'a lot of work to do' — would consider it for Tenstorrent AI chip production, already in talks with TSMC, Rapidus, and Samsung for 2nm tech

Tenstorrent, an AI chip design startup, is collaborating with TSMC, Samsung, and Rapidus to develop next-generation AI chips using their latest 2nm process nodes. CEO Jim Keller, a former AMD and Apple executive, expressed interest in potentially working with Intel but noted that Intel still has significant progress to make. Tenstorrent, known for its cost-efficient chip production approach, uses chiplets from various manufacturers like TSMC and Samsung for its current and upcoming chip designs. The company's goal is to target smaller businesses interested in locally run AI capabilities while also exploring partnerships with Intel in the future.
