Samsung has introduced its first mobile “system-on-chip” using a state-of-the-art 3nm process technology with gate-all-around transistors, designed with AI-powered EDA tools from Synopsys. This milestone was accomplished by leveraging Synopsys’ AI-driven software suite, which automates and accelerates the chip development processes. Synopsys’ AI toolkit, known as Synopsys.ai, includes three core AI wizards that handle tasks such as chip design, functional verification, and silicon testing by using machine learning algorithms to streamline the SoC design process. For Samsung’s mobile processor, AI was instrumental in the complex tasks of layout, signoff, and optimization across performance, power, and area metrics, saving the team weeks and weeks of manual labor.
Samsung’s results are a 300MHz increase in peak CPU frequencies and a 10 percent reduction in power consumption. This marks Samsung’s first complex design iteration using a 3nm GAAFET manufacturing technology. Samsung will use this technology for premium mobile devices with the potential of accelerating those GAAFET yields even further for future Exynos processors.
