IBM to help Japan’s government-funded chipmaker produce 2nm CPUs, GPUs
IBM will help Japan's new government-backed semiconductor company commercialize advanced 2nm chips to revitalize the country's role in the industry and diversify the global supply chain.a development partnership with the fledgling Japanese chipmaker, Rapidus Corporation, that will allow the manufacturer to commercialize IBM's 2nm process technology for mass production.said a facility could open between 2025 and 2027.
The deal is important to Japan's ambition of once again becoming a chip manufacturing player. Japan was a force in the semiconductor biz decades past, but peaked in the 1970s and 1980s according to the "This is a long-desired international collaboration, truly essential for Japan to once again play a vital role in the semiconductor supply chain," said Atsuyoshi Koike, president and CEO of Rapidus.. Big Blue has previously said its 2nm chips can achieve 45 percent greater performance or consume 75 percent less energy than 7nm chips made by contract chip-making rivals like Taiwan's TSMC and South Korea's Samsung.
That level of investment will not be enough to fund the development of fabs, which typically require tens of billions of dollars to build, but sourcesRapidus does have support from a number of Japanese companies that stand to benefit from a domestic supply of advanced chips: Toyota, Sony, NTT, SoftBank, Kioxia, Denso, NEC, and MUFG Bank.
