Tesla's AI5 chip tapes out at Samsung on 2nm-class node

Tesla's next-generation AI5 processor has taped out at Samsung Foundry using a 2nm-class process, with production said to start soon. It follows an earlier tape-out at TSMC, giving Tesla two manufacturers for the chip.

Why it matters: Dual-sourcing a custom AI chip signals Tesla scaling in-house silicon for self-driving and AI workloads.
