On January 26, Teslarati reported, citing Korean media Asiaeconomy, that Samsung will collaborate with Tesla and its developing 5 nm chips will be applied to Tesla’s autopilot infotainment system.

Previously, Samsung worked with Tesla to provide 14 nm chips produced by the fluorine argon exposure process. In this collaboration, Samsung plans to use extreme ultraviolet (EUV) process to manufacture 5 nm chips.

At this year’s CES in mid-January, Samsung released its new flagship 5 nm SoC Exynos 2100. In early 2019, Samsung released the Exynos Auto V9 processor, which supports Audi’s next-generation in-vehicle information and entertainment system and is planned to be put into official use in 2021.

As more and more car companies enter the field of electric vehicles and autonomous driving, the importance of in-vehicle infotainment systems becomes more prominent. However, due to the impact of the pandemic, there is a global shortage of automotive chips, and Samsung’s collaboration with Tesla also shows its further layout in the field of automotive chips.
