LPU chip - Line hint:
49
Context Before
One of the selling points is that the chip can be manufactured and packaged entirely in the United States compared to their competitors being heavily reliant on the Asia semiconductor supply chain: logic and packaging in Taiwan, with HBM from Korea.
Since then, Groq’s roadmap has stalled due to execution, with no LPU 2 having been shipped. This leaves the Groq LPU looking even more dated against competing roadmaps. What was once a meaningful but still manageable node disadvantage versus 7nm-era peers has widened into a far sharper gap, with all leading accelerator platforms now moving onto 3nm-class processes in 2026.
Evidence
The choice of Samsung was driven by favorable terms / investment, with Samsung Foundry struggling to find customers for its advanced nodes and missing out on an AI logic customer
Context After
However, the Groq LPU 2 was never productized because of design issues. The C2C SerDes on the chip couldn’t hit the advertised 112G speed which caused the design to malfunction, as we detailed long ago in the Accelerator model ↗. The third generation Groq LPU is the one that Nvidia will be productizing.

選擇 Samsung 的原因包括較有利的條件與投資關係，而 Samsung Foundry 當時正面臨先進製程難以取得客戶、且缺乏 AI 邏輯晶片客戶的問題。
