① SA Source

Context Before

The follow on Groq LPU 2 was designed for Samsung Foundry’s SF4X node, specifically at Samsung’s Austin fab, allowing them to extend the pitch that Groq is fabricated domestically in the USA. Samsung would also provide support for the back-end design.

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

Unsurprisingly, Samsung was a key investor in Groq’s subsequent Series D in August 2024, and most recently in September 2025 before the Nvidia “acquisition.”

② Atomic Claim

選擇 Samsung 的原因,是其提供有利的條件/投資;同時 Samsung Foundry 當時正苦於替先進製程節點尋找客戶,且尚未拿到 AI logic 客戶。
