- The U.S. electric car maker Tesla’s supercomputer, known as “Dojo” has reportedly commenced production of next-generation semiconductor chips.
- Tesla has been revealed to be collaborating with the Taiwanese company TSMC. TSMC stated that it will develop a wafer system integrating CoWoS advanced packaging process technology and System-on-Integrated Chips (SoIC) advanced packaging by 2027.
Taiwanese media reported that TSMC unveiled this information during an event held in San Francisco, California on May 5 .
Next-generation semiconductor
Dojo is an artificial intelligence supercomputer designed to train autonomous driving software by processing data and video collected by Tesla vehicles.
TSMC stated that it has commenced production of next-generation educational modules for Tesla‘s Dojo. It further elaborated that by 2027, it plans to utilize an advanced packaging process called “chip-on-wafer-on-substrate” (CoWoS) to deliver complex systems with over 40 times the computational performance compared to current capabilities.
