Openai signs with Samsung and SK Hynix for a potential chips demand of 900,000 wafers per month. It is an absurd figure

by

In Seoul A package of agreements was closed which reflects how far the career for artificial intelligence is coming. Openai sat down with Samsung and SK to advance his project Stargate And the companies pointed to a goal that surprises on its own: 900,000 DRAM wafers per month. The plan, according to the parties, goes through reinforcing memory production and studying new data centers in South Korea. All this was announced after a series of meetings of Sam Altman, business leaders and President Lee Jae-Myung himself. The appointment at the Seoul presidential office brought together Sam Altman With the leaders of the aforementioned Asian technological conglomerates, in the presence of the president Lee Jae-Myung. The tone was shared: Korea seeks to consolidate as one of the three global powers in artificial intelligence and OpenAi needs to anchor its Stargate project in regions with technological muscle. This lace explains the interest of both parties in formalizing agreements that cover from the memory supply to the construction of new data centers, with a long -term view. An objective that can tension the entire memory sector The volume that has been put on the table is disproportionate if compared to the market. According to Techinsightsthe global capacity of production of 300 millimeter DRAM was about 2.07 million per month in 2024 and would grow to 2.25 million in 2025. reaching 900,000 would mean about 39% of all that capacity. No individual manufacturer reaches such a figure alone, so that the magnitude of the agreement reflects both Openai’s ambition and the growing pressure to ensure the supply of advanced memory. Signed documents include preliminary commitments to expand memory production and evaluate additional infrastructure in South Korea. Among them is the participation of Samsung SDS in the development of data centers, as well as Samsung C&T and Samsung Heavy Industries in its design and construction. The Ministry of Science and ICT contemplates evaluating site outside the Metropolitan Area of ​​Seoul, and SK Telecom has signed an agreement to study the viability of a center in the southwest of the country. It is also proposed to explore the deployment of Chatgpt Enterprise and API capabilities in corporate operations. A key point in all this is in the difference between using and training a model. When someone consults a chatbot, infrastructure of inference is activated, much less demanding. But to train a new generation system, thousands of chips are needed working in parallel, each accompanied by High performance memory modules. This scale multiplies the need for servers, cooling systems and electrical power. In that context, guaranteeing hundreds of thousands of wafers per month does not seem an excess, but a way of ensuring that the next wave of models has the necessary material support. Stargate Data Center in the United States Openai’s computing muscle relies on huge draft alliances. With Oracle and SoftBankthe company prepares five data centers that would provide several capacity gigawatts. Nvidia, meanwhile, has announced that it would invest up to 100,000 million dollars and that would give access to more than 10 gigawatts through their training systems. Openai’s trajectory is not understood without Microsoft, his first great partner. The Initial bet of 1 billion in 2019 and the subsequent investment of 10,000 million gave access to the Azure cloud, Key to train models They promoted Chatgpt. Over time, however, Sam Altman’s company has begun to reduce that dependence. The last movements mark a change of course towards infrastructure in which OpenAI has more direct control, a way of making sure they are not conditioned to a single supplier. It should be remembered that many of the ads remain preliminary. Letters of intention and memoranda mark the will to advance, But concrete details have not yet closed. At the scale that Stargate raises, the risks are evident: from bottlenecks in the production of high performance memory to energy availability to feed facilities of several gigawatts. To this are added the necessary permits and the complexity of coordinating projects with so many actors. At the moment, the signed opens a path, but it remains to be seen what materializes and in what deadlines.

This is how the Samsung service that repairs your mobile at home works

by

The mobile phone has become a Extension of our daily life. Each person uses it in their own way, but in all cases it concentrates key functions: from WhatsApp or Telegram to social networks, online banking or even the work tool of many professionals and content creators. We rarely stop to reflect on the importance of this device, nor is it necessary to do so. Technology is there to be useful and we take it for granted while everything works. The problem comes when it stops doing it: a serious breakdown is enough to alter that perfect gear and force us to spend time, money and effort to find a solution. In that context, home repairs have gained ground, a service that responds to two growing needs: Avoid displacements and minimize time without mobile. In big cities they are already common, but now Samsung wants to go one step further with his own proposal. Is called Galaxy Premium repair And I have seen how it works. Galaxy Premium repair: When the workshop comes to your door The service is designed for users of the company’s most advanced models. It offers several advantages: the flexibility of schedule repair, the use of original parts and the option of receiving a replacement phone so as not to be incommunicado during the process. Compatible models are: For now, Galaxy Premium repair andStá Available in Madrid (Postal codes 280xx), Alcobendas (28100, 28108, 28109) and San Sebastián de los Reyes (28701, 28702, 28703). To request it, just contact Samsung Electronics Iberia customer serviceeither by chat on the official website or by phone (91 175 00 15). Galaxy Premium Repair coverage zone They will ask for details of the fault and agree on the appointment. The indicated day we can continue in real time by WhatsApp the location of the van and the exact hour of arrival. Thus samsung money earns: the secret is on the iPhone The Galaxy Premium electric van repair In my case, the appointment was a Friday at 10:00. The electric vehicle arrived on time and, inside, it looked like a Authentic portable workshopl. That is the key: official repairs, but at the door of your house. Inside, the repair laboratory vehicle First the technician reviews the device, prepares it for intervention (maintenance mode, SIM withdrawal, etc.) and, if we want, give us a temporary terminal. The repair takes an average of an hour and a half, according to Samsung, which ensures that they perform “all kinds of repairs both inside and out of warranty.” Specialized equipment for screens repair At the end of the repair, the technician Returns the device in a black case With the Samsung Customer Service logo blank. It is a bag with cord closure at the top, simple but with a careful finish, which brings an extra presentation to the service. The technician repairing a mobile in Samsung’s vehicle The displacement of the van has a cost of 100 euros. However, customers of the Z range do not pay anything and those of the S range with guarantee enjoy a 90% discount. In out -of warranty repairs, a previous budget is issued that, in case of acceptance, is discounted from the final amount. Samsung’s final detail when delivering the repaired mobile The strategic side behind the initiative During the demonstration I talked with Alberto Luengodirector of Customer Service at Samsung Electronics Iberia, to know firsthand how this idea arose: We already had experience in our range of televisions (…) That was what made us think of extending it to the mobile range mobiles, so that a customer who invests on the phone can assess the additional services he obtains when buying a device of that level. Alberto Luengo, director of Customer Service at Samsung Electronics Iberia One of the points that most caught the attention was precisely the type of vehicle chosen to carry out repairs. Asked about it, Luengo explained: The first was the van; We were very clear that it should be electric to access any point in Madrid (…) is crucial, from the point of view of human resources, that the technician’s work space complies with all occupational safety and health regulations so that it works at ease and sits as if it were in a normal laboratory. This helps the reliability of the repair to be equally high. The new Samsung service does not intend to replace the repair centers, but add an alternative designed for those who value speed and comfort. It is a movement that expands the possibilities within the post of the brand, where The usual routes also are still available: Go to a center, ask for home collection or use the delivery points.

We have been asking us for years for some refrigerators. Samsung has just found utility: put ads

by

2016 ran when we were amazed at The huge screen Samsung had integrated into one of his refrigerators. Since then, they have become a classic in the highest range refrigerators than Sometimes they cost thousands of euros. On the screen we can see time, receive notifications, see recipes, see the content of the refrigerator and now also see ads. Neverera ads. It has happened in the United States. Some refrigerator users of the Family Hub range have received an unexpected update. The news came first through This user in Reddit that attached an image with the update screen where it indicates the novelties it includes. He says: “To improve our service and offer additional content to users, advertisements on the home screen will be displayed.” At the moment they have not transcended images of how those ads are. A pilot program. In a statement sent to Android AuthoritySamsung has confirmed that it is a pilot program for some refrigerators of the Family Hub range in the United States, with which they will show ads when the screen is inactive. This is the full statement: Samsung is committed to innovation and improving the value for our appliance customers every day. As part of our continuous efforts to strengthen that value, we are carrying out a pilot program to offer promotions and announcements selected in certain Samsung Family Hub refrigerator models in the US market. As part of this pilot program, the Family Hub refrigerators of the US will receive a software update through the network (OTN) with the terms of service (T&C) and the privacy notice (PN). Advertising will appear on certain cover screens of Family Hub. The cover screen appears when the Family Hub screen is inactive.

The undisputed winner of the aggressive competition of TSMC, Intel and Samsung is a European company: ASML

by

Integrated 2 nm circuits are about to disembark in the market. Users know that nanometers have lost much of their usefulness, and that, in reality, They represent a category of semiconductors. In fact, they no longer faithfully reflect the length of logical doors or other physical parameter, such as the distance between transistors. Each chips manufacturer He manages them with freedomwhich prevents us from directly comparing the lithographs that try to “sell us.” Whatever the important thing is that TSMC, Intel and Samsung are about to engage in a new battle that seeks to capture the maximum possible number of customers for their 2 Nm or comparable line nodes. Whatever happens we can be sure that the great beneficiary of this contest will be The Dutch Company ASML. And it will be because it is the only manufacturer on the planet that produces the equipment of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) and haute opening that are necessary to go beyond the 2 Nm reaching the optimal performance. Digitimes Asia He has just confirmed that those responsible for the Samsung semiconductors manufacture are weighing the possibility of increasing the number of Uve haute opening machines that will buy at ASML. And, according to this Asian medium, it will do it because it needs to reduce the technological and commercial gap that separates it from TSMC, which leads the chip market with A fee close to 60%. The Uve High Opening machines are still in the test phase, but there are no doubt that they will be the authentic protagonists of the semiconductor industry in 2026 and successive years. ASML Haute Opening Lithography Machography is an engineering prodigy It weighs as much as two Airbus A320 and incorporates more than 100,000 pieces, 3,000 cables, 40,000 bolts, and also more than 2 km of electrical connections. The photolithography team Twinscan Exe: 5000 Designed and manufactured by ASML is the most sophisticated integrated circuit production machine that exists. And also the most expensive. The most up -to -date information we have reflects that only one of these teams costs 350 million euroswhich will surely cause some chips manufacturers think twice Before buying it. ASML plans to deliver to its customers annually from 2025 about 20 Uve Haute Opening teams ASML engineers have invested a decade in the development of the technology necessary to set up this machine, which, in reality, is a team of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) second generation. This company of the Netherlands plans to deliver to its customers annually From 2025 about 20 teams of this type with a purpose: put in their hands the possibility of producing chips of 2 nm and beyond. Interestingly, to develop this machine, ASML engineers have made a very advanced optical architecture that has an opening of 0.55 compared to the 0.33 value that the first -generation UVE lithography equipment has. This refinement of the optics allows to transfer to the wafer patterns of greater resolution, hence it is possible to manufacture chips using more advanced integration technologies than those currently used in the nodes of 3 Nm. However, this is not all. ASML has also improved the mechanical systems that are responsible for the manipulation of wafers with the purpose of making it possible for a single UVE Machine to be able to produce more than 200 wafers per hour. The cover photography of this article allows us to intuit the extreme complexity and sophistication that one of these teams has, which, by the way, would not be possible without the cooperation of other companies, such as the German Zeiss or Cymer, a company of American origin that is currently consolidated within the ASML structure. Somehow this last company Delivery to ASML the raw material that need their photolithography machines. And that raw material is none other than the ultraviolet light that is responsible for transporting the geometric pattern described by the mask so that it can be transferred with great precision to the surface of the Silicon wafer.
