Samsung is developing next-generation memory chips for large-scale AI applications such as ChatGPT

　　The large-scale application of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots will not only improve the application experience of introducing related technologies, but also bring new development opportunities to several fields, memory chip is one of them. Ameya360 reports that Samsung Electronics is exploring business opportunities by developing customized next-generation memory chips for large AI applications, such as ChatGPT, which is gaining popularity around the world.

　　The actual impact of ChatGPT on the chip circuit is mainly shown as follows: ChatGPT is based on Transformer technology. With the continuous iteration of the model and the increasing number of layers, the demand for computing power is increasing. Secondly, the three conditions for the operation of ChatGPT, namely, training data + model algorithm + computing power, require large-scale pre-training on the basic model. After three iterations of ChatGPT, the number of references increased from 117 million to 175 billion, and the amount of training increased significantly.

　　The New Computing business team of Samsung's memory business division is developing a customized next-generation memory for large-scale AI related to ChatGPT. The new computing business team, headed by Kim Jin-hyeon, is known to be a pioneer In the development of a business within the storage business division. Previously, the team focused on the development of Processing In Memory; PIM). Pims can not only store data, but also integrate and calculate data in memory, which can improve the efficiency of data processing and power consumption. Therefore, PIMs are suitable for AI.

　　In addition, some semiconductor industry insiders pointed out that although traditional AI chips occupy the mainstream at present and AI-dedicated chips are booming, they have met their physical limits, and the future of AI chips may be quantum chips.

　　Park Seong-soo, a senior researcher at the Quantum Technology Research Center at the Electronics and Communications Research Institute, said ChatGPT can also be used with a lot of computing resources, but if combined with future quantum computers, it will become a more intelligent artificial intelligence.

　　According to Gartner's report, total global semiconductor revenue in 2022 was approximately $601.7 billion, an increase of 1.1% year-on-year. Samsung's market share was 10.9 per cent. The ChatGPT scandal has created a new opportunity for Samsung to develop memory chips.
